The W-Modbus units have 24 VAC/VDC power in/out connection and con-
nection for Modbus RTU communication via RS485.
WARNING: When powering the W-Modbus device using 24 VAC, the
power supply/transformer should not be shared with another Modbus de-
vice also sharing a RS485 connection. This is to avoid ground loops caused

A W-Modbus network consists of a single W-Modbus Gateway connected
to the Modbus Client using an RS485 cable, and up to 100 W-Modbus No-
des, each of them connected to one Modbus Server over RS485. Every
device can act as either a Gateway or a Node, selectable by the 3 pole
switch - see Commissioning section.

If adding, removing or changing the Modbus address of the connected de-
vice, double press the push button to initiate a new scanning.
W-Modbus is an end device with internal termination resistor.
With the PRO version of W-Modbus, up to four Modbus Servers can be
connected to one W-Modbus PRO Node - making it even easier to con-
nect multiple devices located in close proximity to each other.
W-Modbus and W-Modbus PRO are fully compatible and can be mixed
in a system. All instructions below apply to both models.
