1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Introduction
c-pro 3 NODE kilo is a range of programmable controllers for
cooling and air cond itioning app lications.
The controllers are equipped with a significant number of input
and output arrangements which make it possible to create a
flexible, modular and expandable network of control devices.
The range of available communication ports ( RS-485, CAN,
USB and Ethernet) and of supported communication protocols
promote the integration of the devices into larger systems.
The application software can be designed for the development
environment for UNI-PRO 3 programmable controllers.

FC 03 read multiple registers
FC 04 read input registers
FC 05 write single co il
FC 06 write single register

The RS-485 MODBUS slave and RS-485 MODBUS master/slave ports can be used for one of the following operations:
-
device configuration (through the Parameters Manager set-up software system)
device supervision (through the CloudEvolution system monitoring and supervision (via Web) system)
-
-
MODBUS master function use with regard to other slave devices.
The CAN CANBUS port can be used to connect the device to the I/O expansions and remote user interfaces of the c-pro 3 range
The maximum number of devices that can be comprised in the CAN network (32) depends on the BUS load; the BUS load, in turn,
depends on the baud rate of the CANBUS communication and on the type of device (for instance, a CAN network can comprise 1
programmable controller with 4 I/O expansions and 4 remote user interfaces with a baud rate of 500,000 baud).
USB
USB port
Through the USB port it is possible to carry out one of the following actions:
- upload and download of application software (through the UNI-PRO 3 development environment or USB flash drive)
application software debug (through the UNI-PRO 3 development environment)
-
device configuration (through the Parameters Manager set-up software system or a USB flash drive)
-
-
file transfer (through the UNI-PRO 3 development environment)
- data logging (through a USB flash drive).
Please see paragraph 6 "CONFIGURATION" for the settings of the USB port.
