A UCM/USB or UCM/Ethernet is required to connect to the computer running Comfigurator.
Run Comfigurator, go to the Modules Tab and right-click on UCMs folder symbol as shown below.
“Scan for All Modules†or “Scan for UCMs†will automatically detect all UCMs including the UCM/Modbus if the ID is set correctly without any conflict with other UCMs.
“Add UCM†allows you to manually add a UCM/Modbus if not currently connected to Comfort, i.e. when doing programming off-line.
The scan results should discover a UCM/Modbus as shown below
Click on the Modbus UCM on the left pane. This brings up the Modbus Configurator as shown below;
UCM Properties
ID 1 to max for UCM RS485 ID
Name as in Modules> UCM
Type Modbus (subtype 27)
Version UCM/Modbus firmware version eg 7.096
UCM/Modbus Properties
Interface
RTU(RS485) or TCP
Baud Rate
2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 76800 (Modbus RTU Only)
Parity
Even, Odd, None (Modbus RTU Only)
Master/Slave
Master or Slave. Master will communicate with Modbus Slave. Slave will communicate with Modbus Master.
Modbus Slave ID
1 to 247. Modbus ID of Slave when UCM is Master, or Modbus ID of UCM/Modbus UCM when UCM/Modbus is Slave
Notes on Master/Slave
In general, if Comfort is controlling another Modbus device, UCM/Modbus should be a Master, and the other device should be a Slave. If another device is controling Comfort, then UCM/Modbus should be a Slave and the other device a Master. Modbus Software with GUI functions are normally Masters. One master can be in the same Modbus network with many Modbus Slaves.
For UCM/Modbus as Slave, Modbus to Comfort and Alarm To Modbus Tabs are not applicable. See the section on UCM/Modbus as Server/Slave in this manual. UCM/Modbus can either be Master or Slave at any one time.
Display Settings
Modbus Address Display Format: Hexadecimal or Decimal
This determines the Modbus Addresses are displayed in Hexadecimal or Decimal format
