9.2  Modbus 
 
Two Modbus interfaces are always available on the basis controller. The RS485 
interface can be defined as master or slave. The MODBUS-IP interface is always a 
slave. Both interfaces can be switched off jointly. 
The internal RS485 Modbus interface is automatically set to master if the Energy 
meter function is enabled. 
A slave interface is always provided with the external Modbus communications 
module POL902. The setting Slave Type switches the size of the interface from 
simple to advanced (more values on the bus).  
The internal cannot be used if the external module is used and the internal inter-
face is not required as master; the must be connected to terminal T1 of the com-
munication module.  
The interface for the Modbus now uses the complete register range from both 
channels on channel 0 (even more values than for the internal Modbus in the Ad-
vanced position). As a result, channel 2 (terminal T2) can no longer be used. 
 
 
9.2.1  Commissioning the internal Modbus 
 
Participating devices 
−  Climatix POL 636 controller. 
 
 
 
 
Prerequisites for commissioning: 
–  Working application (e.g. standard AHU application) loaded and started in the 
Climatix controller. 
–  Corresponding mapping file (OBH.bin) is loaded. This is the only way the con-
nection to the Modbus is available.
