4.1

Introduction

The Decision-Maker

MPAC 750 controller is equipped

with a USB port and a Modbus port with an RS-485

connector. An optional Ethernet accessory board is

available.

Kohler authorized distributors and dealers can use a

personal (laptop) computer with Kohler

SiteTech

software to view and adjust controller parameters, view

event history, import and export parameter files, and

update controller firmware. See TP-6701, SiteTech

Software Operation manual, for instructions.

Controller settings can also be viewed and adjusted

using Modbus. The Modbus registers are available in

the Modbus Protocol Manual, TP-6113.

The controller can send encapsulated Modbus

messages over the network connection. Only one

Modbus address can be assigned to the controller,

regardless of the communication port or protocol being

used.

Note:

Modbus

applications require a Modbus

software driver written by a trained and qualified

systems programmer.

4.2

Connections

4.2.1

USB Port SiteTech Connection

A personal computer and Kohler SiteTech software can

be used for changing controller settings. Use a USB

cable to connect the controller to a personal computer.

See Figure 4-1 for the USB port location on the front of

the controller assembly. Remove the small port cover

and use a USB cable with a mini-B connector to connect

the controller’s USB port to the computer.

See TP-6701, SiteTech Software Operation Manual, for

instructions to use the software.
