RY-FL Communication

As the communication is bi-directional all the time, is also the transmitter aware of the function of the 
network. The wireless devices are able to inform about the problems in the network and about the 
needed service to the FLTA network masters. For example the RY-FL is alarming when the signal has 
been lost over an hour, and the device turns its outputs off. Output voltage is set 0 V and PWM is 0 V.

RY-FL Network / Wireless 
System Overview

The diagram below illustrates the typical wireless network when RY-FL input / output devices are used 
in the system. RY-FL I/O-modules is continuously communicating over the wireless network to the 
FLTA master (version 2.2 or later) and the FLTA is sending the output commands to the RY-FL 
input/ouput module.

When FLTA receivers are used with any wireless sensor or transmitter (e.g. TEFL, TEU-FL, LA-FL 
and KLU-FL), each FLTA network can have up to 99 sensors/transmitters and up to 8 FL-REP 
repeaters/signal boosters. In the RY-FL network due to extended network messaging the maximum 
number of FL-REP repeaters is limited to 2 and the maximum number of RY-FL input / output modules 
to 20 per network. The system can still have up to 99 sensors / transmitters (including RY-FL 
input/ouput modules) as a part of the solution.

MAXIMUM WIRELESS SYSTEM SIZE PER NETWORK (WITH RY-FL I/O MODULES)

Maximum number of FLTA networks is 63. Therefore in a larger installation it is possible to have 
maxiumum of 20 x 63 = 1,260 RY-FL wireless I/O modules.

NOTE: 

RY-FL requires FLTA version 2.2 or later and FLSER service tool version 2.2 or later.

RY-FL Modbus 
Communication

The RY-FL wireless input/output modules communicate via 868 Mhz radio signal to the FLTA network 
master. A FLTA network master has 8 x 0..10Vdc outputs that can be used to represent the RY-FL 
measurements. The FLTA network masters have also built-in Modbus RTU communication that 
provides the intelligent interface to read the wireless measurements and to control the RY-FL output 
signals.

Example. The table below illustrates typical Modbus parameters available via FLTA for RY-FL with 
device address 1 (RY-FL address set to 1 a t the commissioning).

Note: If  Digital Output register is enabled (ON), then the corresponding channel analogue output is 
disabled (it is only possible use digital output or analogue output on a RY-FL channel, not both).

For full listing of the available FLTA Modbus commands please consult the FLTA Modbus 
Communication User Guide.
