”Serial No: RMPYMxxxxN”
(Bar Coded & Typed Number)
The serial numbers are unique and contain embedded information:
“RMP” --- These first three digits are unique to RTU---MP and are used as an identifier.
“YM” --- These two digits identify the last digit of the year and month (in hex, A=10/Oct)
of manufacture. ”74” would represent a date of manufacture of ”April 2007”.
“xxxx” --- These four digits represent the sequential number of units produced for a given
product for the mentioned manufacturing time period.
“N” --- This final digit represents the decade and toggles between ”N” and ”M” every
ten years.

S MaxInfo Frames: This property defines the maximum
number of responses that will be sent when our controller
gets the token. A valid number is any positive integer.
The default is 10 and should be ideal for the majority of
applications. In cases where the controller is the target of
many requests, this number could be increased as high as
100 or 200.
NOTE: MS/TP networks can be comprised of both
Master and Slave nodes. Valid MAC addresses for Master
nodes are 0 -- 127 and valid addresses for Slave nodes are
0 -- 254.
NOTE: See RTU--MP 3rd Party Integration Guide (or
alternatively Form 48--50H--T--1T Appendix) for Protocol
Maps.
Table 26 – Modbus Exception Codes that May be
Returned From This Controller
CODE NAME MEANING
01 Illegal Function
The Modbus function code used
in the query is not supported by
the controller.
02 Illegal Data Address
The register address used in the
query is not supported by the
controller.
04 SlaveDeviceFailure
The Modbus Master has at-
tempted to write to a non---exist-
ent register or a read---only regis-
ter in the controller.
Modbus
1. Verify that the BAS and controller are both set to
speak the Modbus RTU protocol. The protocol of the
controller is set via SW3 (switches 3, 4, 5, and 6).
The protocol can also be verified by getting a Modstat
of the controller through the BACview. Hit the ”FN”
key and the ’.’ key at the same time to pull up a
Modstat. Scroll to the bottom of the page and there is
a section entitled “Network Communications.” The
active protocol and baud rate will be shown in this
section.
2. Verify that the BAS and controller are set for the
same baud rate. The baud rate of the controller is set
via SW3 (switches 1 and 2). The baud rate can also
be verified via the BACview by obtaining a Modstat
(see above).
3. Verify that the BAS is configured to speak 2--wire
EIA--485 to the controller. The BAS may have to con-
figure jumper or DIP switches on their end.
4. Verify that the BAS and the controller have the same
communication settings (8 data bits, No Parity, and 1
stop bit).
5. Verify that the controller has a unique Modbus slave
address. The controller’s Modbus slave address is set
by its rotary address switches.
6. Verify that the BAS is using the proper Modbus func-
tion codes to access data from our controller. Sup-
ported function codes are shown above.
