Communications setup between RVSS BCM and inControl
Eaton has created a Modbus® communication DTM protocol for use
in the Power Xpert inControl system: Modbus Serial. This DTM is
used to connect to the Eaton devices through the FDT container.
A suitable interface cable with a USB-A male connector on one end
and two serial connection wires on the other can be used to connect
to the BCM using a compatible connector (see
and
).
