5.5 AM-MODBUS-W Wireless Communication
The type A-G-247NW hand-held terminal can communicate wireless with the type AM-MODBUS-W
communications module (
Operating Instuctions A-G-247NW: AM-MODBUS App's / Configuration
Online / Wireless).
In a hard-wired system, wireless communication is primarily designed in order to have a second
interface for communicating with the device (e.g., for configuration and diagnostics).
Wireless communication is also used by the MODBUS protocol, so it is necessary to assign an
address. Wireless and hard-wired communications use the same address. The address can be
hard-wire assigned via an RS-485.
For pure, wireless communication, it is recommended to assign the address manually.
"Switch on the device you want to re-address and establish a connection with address 247.
"In “IO Setup”, change the address and then switch this device off again.
"Apply the same procedure to the next device.
Radio control key (0 - 9999)
Different from RS-485 communication, wireless communication also has a radio control key (0 -
9999). This radio control key is used to encode the messages and ensures that several networks can
be operated in mutually overlapping radio ranges.
For that reason, every wireless MODBUS network should have its own radio control key if there is
another wireless MODBUS network in the vicinity.
The factory setting is
| 9999 | .
A radio control key with the value
| 0 | switches off encoding.
The device must be switched off to save the new radio control key.
The radio control key must be assigned in the same manner as the assignment of the MODBUS
address.

after pressing the “Esc” key combination. Signal inputs and outputs remain active.
A programmed alarm relay (factory set “K1 function”
| 2K | ) does not report the
switch-off.
Attention!
No disconnection (no potential isolation in accordance with VBG4 §6) in remote control
of the device!

13D Switch over direction of rotation
Switch over between direction of rotation “RIGHT”

“LEFT”
| CCW | .
When“switching”over via a digital input, the device works with the opposite direction of
rotation than the one set in Motor Setup.
If the rotary direction is reversed with an available modulation, it is initially reduced to
“0” (disconnected) and subsequently increased back to the default value.

15D Smoke extraction: Switch off temperature management, operation at max. speed
To make the ECblue as durable as possible, the devices have active temperature
management. The modulation is reduced when internal temperature limits are ex-
ceeded.
In venting systems in which the fan must run at max. speed in the event of a fire, the
temperature management can be switched off by a digital input. At the same time, the
fan is operated independently of the speed default for regular operation at maximum
speed.
The function is activated at the digital input with the contact open (at factory setting
| D1/E1 Inverting | OFF) so that the maximum speed of the fan is also possible with
the line to the digital input interrupted in case of fire.
Attention!
The device and its internal components are no longer protected against overtemper-
ature when this function is activated (this affects the life installation instructions ECbl-
ue).
7.6.2 Relay outputs “K1”
K1 Function
Various functions can be allocated to the relay outputs “K1”.
This is preset at the factory for fault indication.
K1 Inverting
For switching inversion to “ON” (switching behaviour dependent on assigned function).
The relays can only pull up basically when the voltage supply of the electronics is
working. Three-phase current devices must have at least 2 line phases!
The relay inversion “K1” is set at the factory to “OFF” (when a function is program-
ming).
Function Description
OFF no function
Relays remain always de-energized .
1K Operating indication
Operation without fault, reports enable “OFF”.
2K Fault indication (factory setting)
Pulled up in operation without fault, with release “OFF” not dropped out.
Drops out at: line fault, motor fault, etc.
Events / Fault indications
4K Limit
Alarm when the speed exceeds the value set under “Default Internal3” (
menu group
“Setting”) (output power > 0 %).
The function is active in every Controlmode (
menu group: “Controller Setup”).
17K no function
20K Fault indication or message for active temperature management
In addition to the fault indication, a message will appear in the case of active temper-
ature management, i.e. if the specified temperature limits are exceeded resulting in a
reduction in modulation (function from software version 13.31 and upwards).
