Unsigned  Boilers 1 – 16 status fl ag (32-bit) registers. The 

upper 16-bits of each 32-bit register is stored at 
odd numbered addresses 30016 –30046. The 
lower 16-bits of each 32-bit register is stored at 
even numbered addresses 30017 – 30047. 

See the Boiler 

Status Flags 
Table Below 

30048 – 

30079 

Unsigned  Boilers 1 – 16 runtime (32-bit) registers. The 

upper 16-bits of each 32-bit register is stored at 
odd numbered addresses 30048 – 30078. The 
lower 16-bits of each 32-bit register is stored at 
even numbered addresses 30049 – 30079.
When the upper and lower registers are combined 
they form a 32-bit unsigned integer that is the 
number of seconds that the boiler has been 
running. For instance: (((Register 29) * 65536) 
+ Register 30) = Boiler 1 runtime in seconds.
Boiler 1 is the master boiler. Boilers 2 – 16 are 
member boilers. 

0 – 4294967295 

seconds 

BACnet or LonWorks protocols

Install the correct bridge to adapt to building management 
systems using BACnet or LonWorks protocols.

Th e bridge translates the BACnet or LonWorks input to 
the Modbus protocol for compatibility with the HeatNet 
controls.

Wiring and set-up

Wire and set up the master boiler and member boilers exactly 
as for HeatNet modulation — local control applications. 
See page 6 through page 13.

ALL control parameters must be set up just as for the local 
control method.

Th

  e ONLY diff erence in setup is the termination DIP switch 

sett ings. Use the sett ings for Modbus communications given 
in Table 1, page 11.

Connect communications cables (RJ45 or shield-wire 
cables) between the control communications boards as for 
the local control method.

Verify network operation BEFORE connecting the building 
management system.

Connect the BMS cable

DO NOT connect the building management system cable 
until the boiler network has been proven to operate inde-
pendently. Th

  e system is designed to revert to local control 

by the master boiler should communications with the 
building management system be lost.

Turn off  power to the master boiler.

See Figure 10, page 13. Connect an RJ45 cable to the BMS 
input port, item 6. Or use shielded wire cable, connected to 
terminal block, item 3.

Verify BMS/HeatNet operation

Turn on power to the master boiler.

Allow the master boiler to initialize.

Verify operation with the building management system.
