SGY-010 Installation Guide
MAN-AGY-010. Version 02. 14/05/2018
Introduction
The remote keypad (SGY-010) can be used to control, monitor and program up to 32 synergy
TM
soft starters.
The remote unit is powered from the host synergy
TM
and requires only an Ethernet cable for
communication.
Installation
The remote keypad can only be used with the standard ‘on-board’ Modbus RTU connection.
It cannot be used with Anybus modules.
The remote touchscreen is a Modbus RTU master device. A PLC, HMI, or other Modbus
Master device cannot be used on the same network while the remote touchscreen is
connected.

Network Connection
Keypad to one synergy
TM
unit
For a configuration where there is only one synergy
TM
unit (one-to-one) the remote and main unit
can be directly cabled. See Diagram below:
A RJ45 to RJ12 adaptor cable is available from Fairford (part number CBL-014). The use of
this adaptor is recommended to ease network installation and reduce the possibility of
incorrect wiring.
Keypad to multiple synergyTM unit
For multiple base units connected to the keypad, the use of SGY-011 is highly recommended. See
diagram below.

Remote Keypad Operation
Ensure starter’s Modbus Network Settings are: Even parity and 19200 baud rate. If connecting to
multiple starters, set the Address to a unique number for each synergy
TM
starter.
If remote touchscreen start/stop control is desired, set the Control Method to Modbus Control. If
the remote touchscreen will only be used for monitoring or configuration (digital input or local
touchscreen start/stop control will be used), select the appropriate setting (Local Touchscreen,
User Programmable, 2-wire control, or 3-wire control).
Connect remote touchscreen using the CBL-014 adapter (synergy
TM
end) and a standard Ethernet
patch cable. If connecting to multiple starters, a Modbus splitter (SGY-011) will be required for the
first starter. CBL-026 may be used for the remaining units
On the remote touchscreen go to Modbus Network Settings as shown in Fig 1. and select Scan
Bus. This will show all the synergy
TM
starters on the bus (Fig 2). Select which starter you wish to
connect to.
Alternatively, you can select the Address number and then select Connect to connect to that
particular starter.
The status screen Fig 3 on the remote touchscreen will display the current starter it is connected
to by displaying the starter’s node address and serial number (Example: address 01 and serial
number A0167805)
The remote touchscreen’s control for starting and stopping overrides the starter’s onboard
touchscreen when the starter’s Control Method is set to Modbus Control. Menu navigation,
configuration, and monitoring are still possible on the starter’s touchscreen.
Press the starter icon box on the Status screen of the remote touchscreen to change to another
starter if controlling multiple starters from one remote touchscreen.
When using the remote touchscreen for start/stop control the remote touchscreen has full
control, configuration, and monitoring capabilities, while the local touchscreen on the starter only
has configuration and monitoring capabilities. Digital outputs always function as programmed,
regardless of Control Mode. Digital inputs are disabled during Modbus Control and Keypad
Control Modes, but are active during all other Control Modes.
The remote touchscreen can be used for monitoring and configuration during any other control
method besides Modbus Control.
