Modulex E8 Controller and BCM
Operations and Maintenance Manual
OMM-0084_0D
7.4.3 Disconnecting the E8 from the E-Bus on the BCM Board.
NOTE
When the BCM is configured as the primary controller, the E8 will
display the fault code “E200”.
If the BCM was retrofitted in the field utilizing
Technical Service Bulletin 2007-07
, refer to this
bulletin and disconnect CBL 24 from Connector VII on the E8 Controller. However, if the
Modulex Boiler was shipped with the BCM factory-installed, it will contain a 3-position switch
mounted above the BCM (
Figure 7-8
). Refer to the switch matrix in
Table 7-1
for descriptions of
how the factory-installed 3-position switch functions with respect to the 2-position ON/OFF
(Enable/Disable) switch on the BCM.

DO NOT
USE
The BCM is the Gate-way
for Modbus and external
control. The E8 does
not
control the boiler and the
BCM will
not
take over the
boiler if the Modbus signal
fails.
The E8
is
the primary
controller and the BCM
allows monitoring
through Modbus, but
will
not
take over boiler if the
E8 fails.

The BCM is the Gate-way

control. The E8 does
not
control the boiler and the
BCM
will
take over the
boiler if the Modbus signal
fails. If E8 is in Standby
Mode, BCM will cycle the
pump with the boiler. If E8
is in Day Mode, the E8 will
continuously run the pump.

NOTES:
1.
DO NOT
set the 3-Position Switch to Position
I
.
2. Set the 3-Position Switch to Position
O
ONLY when controlling Boilers from an external
Controller via Modbus Communication. See
Paragraph 3.1.2
for setting HEAT Modes.
3. Position
II
is the
Default
position for the 3-Position Switch. Ensure it is set to this position
when it arrives from the Factory. See
Paragraph 3.1.2
for setting HEAT Modes.
