Chapter 8 20 Points RS485 type Models Instruction    211 
Modbus RTU slave function 
 
Function Description: 
SG2 unit can be controlled by the computer or other controller using the communication control. PC and other 
controller can read and write IO state, preset value of the elements and the setting of the unit. It also can use to read 
the current value of the element and control the Run/Stop mode of SG2. The maximum frame length in 
communication format is 128bytes. 
 
Hardware Configuration: 
1.  Connect the RS485 port A on each SG2 unit together, also do it to port B, as shown in below figure. 
 
 
 
2.  Set SG2 in the SET menu to No Remote IO.
