Modbus RTU
Option module for PolluTherm
M H 6123 INT, page 1
1. Use of the option module
The Modbus RTU option module is used to connect the PolluTherm heat meters
to Modbus RTU network using EIA-485 channel.
Picture 1: Modbus RTU module
The module is based on Modbus RTU Slave protocol which is realized according to newest specifications
published by Modbus.
The module EIA-485 network interface is compliant to TIA/EIA-485 standard.
1.1. Power supply
The Modbus RTU module should be powered by AC or DC (polarity insensitive) SELV power supply only.
