Introduction
This device has been created because the CASE VAV software could monitor only one VAV
meanwhile this device is able to monitor 128 VAV. The read values could not be used in
building management system. But by this device there is a possibility to integrate the data of
the VAV into the building managing system via the Modbus Protocol.
The unit is powered with 15-32 VDC or 12-24 VAC.
Variable types
The type of the variables is the following:
– USINT: unsigned integer (0-65535)
– INT: integer (-32768 – 32767)
Modbus types
The Modbus type of the signals (types in the list below):
3 = Holding Register (Modbus function = 3 and 6)
4 = Input Register (Modbus function = 4)
Supported Modbus functions:
3 = Read Holding Register
4 = Read Input Register
6 = Write Single Register
Max 20 registers
Max 20 registers can be read in one message.

generated if a third character, in its entirety, is received before the FIFO is accessed.
30003, 30008: A framing error indicates that a Stop bit was not seen at the expected time.
30005: The numbers of errors occur when a polled VAV does not answer, but another send
a response message.
30006: Total number of errors, which does not respond to the question. Equal to the sum of
the 6th element of the register arrays.
The input registers are reset to 0 after restart.

40001: The Modbus address can be between 1 and 127. Default value is 1.
40002: Modbus baud rate might be:
0: 2400
1: 4800
2: 9600 (Default)
3: 19200
4: 38400
40003: Polling interval on SLC bus. Default value is 1 s.
40004: All of polled VAV data type can be disable. Default value is 0 (enable all polling).
– 1. bit: Disable setpoint polling (1)
– 2. bit: Disable actual value polling (2)
– 3. bit: Disable position in degrees polling (4)
– 4. bit: Disable position polling (8)
– 5. bit: Disable differential pressure polling (16)
– 6. bit: Disable second setpoint polling (32)
– 7. bit: Disable second actual value polling (64)
This number is valid for all register arrays. If the value is 0, then you can define for
each VAV.
For example you must monitor only VAV angle in degrees, then this value is 27
(1+2+8+16).

2: Room temperature control loop polling and displaying
4XXX3: You can set the VAV in manual operation with this register.

8: Adapt working angle
After restart this value will be reset to 0.
4XXX4: This value is for angle or air flow with scale factor 10. After restart this value will be
