RayCONTROL
RayCONTROL 30 is the control unit for the FCC Planterm temperature control system.
RayCONTROL 30 supports up to 30 individual zones.
Communication
RayNET is an interface module that provides a standard Modbus/RTU interface over RS485 for RayCONTROL 30. The default connection parameters are:
Modbus address: 1
RS-485 parameters:
| Baud rate | 9600 |
| Data bits | 8 |
| Stop bit | 1 |
| Parity | none |
| Flow control | none |
Refer to the RayNET and RayCONTROL 30 technical documentation for installation, wiring and power supply requirements.
HSYCO connects to the Modbus bus through any standard Modbus/TCP gateway.
HSYCO Configuration
Add a RAYCONTROL I/O Server in the I/O Servers section of the Settings and set its parameters:
Communication
- Comm ID: select a MODBUSTCP I/O server if using a Modbus gateway, or the serial port id when using a direct RS-485 port with HSYCO acting as Modbus RTU master.
High Availability
- Shutdown when inactive: defaults to true.
