MODBUS connectivity
e CDAS HL / OFAS HL / FBP HL dryer controller includes an RS485 port for MODBUS communication with a remote system using
the MODBUS RTU protocol. All connections should be made to the 3 terminal block connections as shown below.
e cable screen should be terminated at the terminal marked 0V. It is suggested that only the controller end of the screen is
connected to earth.
Default MODBUS Settings
Each unit (master & slaves) on the MODBUS network must have matching communication settings and a unique unit identication
(ID). e default settings for the CDAS HL / OFAS HL / FBP HL controller are shown below.
e parameters for baud rate, data bits, parity, stop bits and unit ID can all be changed by a trained service engineer using the Parker
ADS service software.
