3.9.5 RS485
The RS485 ports on the controller support the Modbus RTU protocol.
The DSE Gencomm register table for the controller is available upon request from the DSE Technical
Support Department.
RS485 is used for point-to-point cable connection of more than one device (maximum 32 devices)
and allows for connection to PCs, PLCs and Building Management Systems (to name just a few
devices).
One advantage of the RS485 interface is the large distance specification (1.2km when using Belden
9841 (or equivalent) cable. This allows for a large distance between the module and a PC running the
DSE Configuration Suite software. The operator is then able to control the module, starting or
stopping the generator, selecting operating modes, etc.
The various operating parameters (such as output volts, oil pressure, etc.) of the remote generator
can be viewed or changed.
NOTE:- For a single module to PC connection and distances up to 6m (8yds) the USB
connection method is more suitable and provides for a lower cost alternative to RS485 (which
is more suited to longer distance connections).
