After the initialisation of the XRGI® control software, the operation of the XRGI® system can be controlled by an external control. After
the initialisation of the external control, the current software version of the XRGI® system is operated in heat-controlled mode without
external control (the other operating modes will be available in the future).
The description of the interfaces includes details on the main functions.
R E Q U I R E M E N T S F O R U S E
The Modbus Gateway can only be used if the Central Control PCB with integrated modem is fitted in the iQ-Control Panel (the modem
is separate with the old Central Control PCB). XRGI® systems with older Central Control PCB’s can be upgraded. EC POWER provides
an upgrade kit.
The control must have the software version 1.11.5 or higher. A software update is needed if an older software version is fitted in an
XRGI® system.

External systems can be connected to the RS485 bus via the Modbus RTU.
The data registers within the Modbus protocol are kept up to date by the EC POWER control software and/or read by the external
control.
The description of the interfaces includes details about programming the external connection.
