Table 3.26 Modbus/SNMP/BACnet/Telnet Master Options
Option
Description
Serial Com 1
Protocol Type
Configures the Serial COM Port 1 (EIA-232 or EIA-485). Available options are:
• Modbus Master: Enables the RIM-1000 to operate as a Modbus Master over
Serial COM1.
• Modbus Slave: Enables the RIM-1000 to operate as a Modbus Slave over
Serial COM1.
• Telnet: Enables the RIM-1000 to communicate via Serial COM Port 1.
• SMS/Text: Enables the RIM-1000 to communicate to an external SMS
modem via Serial COM1.
Master Protocol
Type
Configures the RIM-1000 Master Protocol type to be used, via Serial or TCP/IP.
Select one of the following options:
• None: Disables Modbus support.
• Modbus/SNMP/BACnet Master - 32 Units: This is the most typical
configuration for the RIM-1000. Select this option when there is at least one
Slave unit. This option can be configured to poll data from up to 32 Slave
devices.
• Modbus Master BCM H663 - 4 Units: Select this option when there are 1 to 4
BCMs (Branch Circuit Monitors) and no other Slave devices. This option en-
ables web pages that are unique to the BCM allowing for easier setup. SNMP
(Get, Set and Traps) is supported for the BCMs.
• Modbus Master BCM H663 - 16 Units: Select this option when there are
5 to 16 BCMs (Branch Circuit Monitors) and no other Slave devices. This option
enables web pages that are unique to the BCM allowing for easier setup.
SNMP (Get, Set and Traps) is not supported for the BCMs. SNMP is still sup-
ported for the local I/O (Inputs 1 - 104). If SNMP is required for the BCMs,
additional RIM-1000s are required to allow a maximum of 4 BCMs per
RIM-1000.
Serial Baud Rate
This option sets the Serial COM Port 1 to 1200, 2400 or 9600 Baud. All the
devices connected to the RIM-1000 Serial COM Port 1 must be set to operate at
the same Baud rate
Serial Interface Type
Enable the RIM-1000 Modbus to operate on the EIA-485 or EIA-232 COM Port 1.
Telnet Inactivity
Timeout
After this many minutes of inactivity, the RIM-1000 will timeout of Telnet
communication.
Modbus Serial Slave
Address
This option sets the RIM-1000 Modbus Slave address for the Serial COM Port 1 -
this field is required when the Serial Protocol is set to “Modbus Slave.”
Each Slave device on the Modbus network must have a unique address.
Master Poll Timeout
This is the amount of time the RIM-1000 waits for a response from the Slave
device before moving on to read the next register. It is adjustable from 1 to 10
seconds.
The timeout is active only when the Serial Protocol is set to “Modbus Master
Generic - 32 Units,” “Modbus Master BCM H663 - 4 Units” or “Modbus Master
BCM H663 - 16 Units.”
Default: 1 second
