Topology Introduction

Modbus bus: L1 shown in the figure is the Modbus bus.

CAN1 network: which is consist of Modbus Gateway(Pro) and all IDUs and
ODUs of the system. One CAN1 network can be connected to maximum 80
IDUs.
CAN2 network: which is consist of Modbus Gateway(Pro) and main control
ODU of the system. One CAN2 network can be connected to maximum 16
systems and 255 IDUs.
System: One system consists of one set of outdoor unit (one set of outdoor
unit is a module group consisting of 1~4 modules, that is 1~4 outdoor units)
and it’s connected indoor units.
Connectable unit quantity of Modbus Gateway(Pro): one Modbus
Gateway(Pro) can be connected with 16 systems and 255 indoor units in
maximum.

Power Supply

Power supply should be 100VAC-240VAC, 50/60Hz

Warning! Protective grounding of power input must be connected,
otherwise a hazard may happen; in addition, do not touch the power
input when the gateway is energized.
Notice: Power cord should be secured with the equipped wire clip,
as shown in the figure.
Communication Interfaces

CAN communication interface: It is connected to air conditioner through two-

core connection wire, to realize communication between Modbus Gateway(Pro) and air
conditioner.
RS485-1 communication interface: It is connected to BMS through two-core
connection wire, to realize communication between Modbus Gateway(Pro) and BMS.
RS485-2 communication interface: This device doesn’t use this
communication interface currently.
Interface of USB or SD card: This device doesn’t use this interface currently.
Ethernet interface: This device doesn’t use this interface currently.
DI/DO Digital Input/Output

This gateway supports 5 DIs(digital inputs) and 5

DOs(digital outputs); DO6 is reserved.
DI/DO Digital Input/Output

DI1...DI5
Digital inputs: 0/1 digital signals(binary system), applicable for those with
power supply
DI1: in CAN2 network, fire alarm signal, connect “1” to the power of 12V,
input fire alarm signal “1” in DI 1 port, then Modbus gateway(Pro) will give out
control, all units stop operation immediately;disconnect “1” or connect to “0”,
input signal “0” in DI 1 port,resume operation of all ODUs.
In CAN1 network, fire alarm signal, connect “1” to the power of 12V, input
fire alarm signal “1” in DI 1 port, then Modbus gateway(Pro) will give out
control, all units stop operation immediately;disconnect “1” or connect to “0”,
input signal “0” in DI 1 port,resume operation of IDUs manually.
DI2...DI5: Defined by the user.
DI/DO Digital Input/Output

DO1...DO5 digital outputs: Relay output, normally-open contact

Max admissible power: 250VAC, 3A; 30VDC, 3A
Example: write “1” into DO5 of Modbus protocol and the two
contacts of DO5 relay will be closed; write “0” into DO5 of Modbus
protocol and the two contacts of DO5 relay will be cut off.
LED Display

LED indicators shown in the above figure are divided

into two parts: status indicators (operation, alarm,
power) and communication indicators(CAN, RS485,
RS232).
LED Display

Operation status of each indicator is shown in the following table.

When the data from the equipment (e.g. air conditioner)

CAN RX connected with Modbus Gateway(Pro) is received, it will
flash.

When the data is transferred to the equipment (e.g. air

CAN TX conditioner) connected with Modbus Gateway(Pro), it will
flash.

When the data from the Modbus bus is received, it will

RS485-1 RX
flash.

When the data is transferred to the Modbus bus, it will

RS485-1 TX
flash.

RS232 RX This device does not use this LED indicator.

RS232 TX This device does not use this LED indicator.
RS485-2 RX This device does not use this LED indicator.
RS485-2 TX This device does not use this LED indicator.

When power supply of Modbus Gateway(Pro) is normal, it

Power
will be always on..

Run When Modbus Gateway(Pro) works normally, it will blink.

Alarm This device doesn’t use this LED indicator.

DIP Switches

This gateway includes two kinds of DIP switches,

address DIP switch and function DIP switch.
DIP Switches

Function DIP Switch

The seventh switch of function DIP switch is used for setting the Modbus bus
matched resistance of this gateway.
The eighth switch of function DIP switch is used for setting the CAN2 bus
matched resistance of this gateway.

Address DIP Switch

Address DIP switch is used for setting the device address of Modbus
Gateway(Pro).
Address setting range: 1~255.
