Web Interface Configuration
Serial Com 1
Protocol Type
Configures the Serial COM Port 1 (EIA-232 or EIA-485). Available
options are:
•
Modbus Master: Enables the FMS to operate as a Modbus
Master over Serial COM1.
•
Modbus Slave: Enables the FMS to operate as a Modbus
Slave over Serial COM1.
•
Telnet: Enables the FMS to communicate via Serial COM Port
1.
•
SMS/Text: Enables the FMS to communicate to a SMS modem
via Serial COM1.
Master Protocol
Type
Configures the FMS 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 FMS. 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 enables 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 supported
for the local I/O (Inputs 1 - 104). If SNMP is required for the
BCMs, additional FMSs are required to allow a maximum of 4
BCMs per FMS.
Serial Baud Rate
This option sets the Serial COM Port 1 to 1200, 2400 or 9600 Baud.
All the devices connected to the FMS Serial COM Port 1 must be
set to operate at the same Baud rate.
Serial Interface Type Enable the FMS Modbus to operate on the EIA-485 or EIA-232
COM Port 1.
Telnet Inactivity
Timeout
After this many minutes of inactivity, the FMS will timeout of Telnet
communication.
Modbus Serial Slave
Address
This option sets the FMS 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 FMS 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
