5.11.3.7 Modbus Connection
The Nortec GS humidifier comes standard with a Modbus communications interface, which can be used
to remotely control its output or monitor its operation.
Refer to
Figure 33
and connect the Modbus communication cable to the Nortec GS humidifier as follows:
1. Connect a Modbus cable to the connector J6 on the Nortec GS control board. Refer to
Table 18
for
Modbus cable requirements, and
Table 19
for communication parameters. Contact your Nortec rep
-
resentative if assistance is needed to change the default communication parameters.
Note:
The
jumper JP7 on the control board must be installed to activate Modbus or BACnet MSTP
communication via RS485 interface (J6). If the jumper is not installed, no communication will take
place through J6.
2. Install the
jumper JP4 on the control board if the Nortec GS humidifier is the first or last unit in the
network.
