Special Registers
In addition to the 66 breaker outputs, the lighting
controller has several special outputs (Table 40) to control
other features on the main board.
These special outputs are mapped to MODBUS coil
registers 67-70 and are accessed by function code
01/05/15.
Note: These outputs are not for general use. Don’t write to
these registers without detailed knowledge of their
purpose, operation and possible consequences.
