RayCONTROL

RayCONTROL 30 is the control unit for the FCC Planterm temperature control system.

RayCONTROL 30 supports up to 30 individual zones.

Communication

RayNET is an interface module that provides a standard Modbus/RTU interface over RS485 for RayCONTROL 30. The default connection parameters are:

Modbus address: 1

RS-485 parameters:

Baud rate	9600
Data bits	8
Stop bit	1
Parity	none
Flow control	none

Refer to the RayNET and RayCONTROL 30 technical documentation for installation, wiring and power supply requirements.

HSYCO connects to the Modbus bus through any standard Modbus/TCP gateway.

HSYCO Configuration

Add a RAYCONTROL I/O Server in the I/O Servers section of the Settings and set its parameters:

Communication

• Comm ID: select a MODBUSTCP I/O server if using a Modbus gateway, or the serial port id when using a direct RS-485 port with HSYCO acting as Modbus RTU master.

High Availability

• Shutdown when inactive: defaults to true.
