Modbus to BACnet Integration Procedure
1.
Configure default settings in all EVO/ECM-Modbus RTU controllers.
The default settings
including each controller’s assigned address
and baud rate must be
first downloaded to each controller through the configuration port from a PC running the
EVO Modbus Configurator configuration software. Refer to the
for details. The EVO/ECM-Modbus RTU addresses in the Modbus trunk must be
sequentially incremented from 1 to the number of controllers in the trunk and
communication rate must be 38400 Baud.
2.
Upload a mapping file from the EVO/ECM-BACnet-Modbus library to the gateway.
The file provides the mapping to translate between the EVO/ECM-Modbus RTU registers
and the BACnet objects. The file name indicates the number of EVO/ECM-Modbus RTU
controllers the file is for.
