Figure 8-11 shows a Sample Modbus Network wiring diagram for a Master EMS/BAS controlling
BCM Controller Slaves. This Figure shows an EMS or BAS Master equipped with a RS485 port.
If the EMS or BAS contains a 4-Wire RS485 port, refer to Detail “A” for wiring details. If the
controlling Master EMS/BAS contains only a RS232 port, a RS232-to-RS485 converter will be
required to interface with connector Y2 at each BCM Controller. It should be noted that this
diagram is only intended as a guide and does not include all possible scenarios. Refer to the
EMS/BAS manufacturer’s manual prior to attempting any network wiring connections.
