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 VMX-synergy™ 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 VMX-SGY-014 adapter (VMX-
synergy™ end) and a standard Ethernet patch cable. If connecting to
multiple starters, a Modbus splitter (VMX-SGY-011) will be required for
the first starter. VMX-SGY-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 VMX-synergy™
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).
