COMMUNICATION MODULES 1 AND 2
All 2408 and 2404 controllers can be fitted with up to two plug-in communications modules.
Only one of the two modules can be for serial communications and this will normally be
installed in position COMMS 1 (although it is possible to install the serial communications
module in position COMMS 2. Serial communications may be configured for either Modbus
or EI bisynch protocol.
It is also possible to fit a PDS module in one or other of these positions.
