System 450™ Series Modular Controls (Continued)
System 450 Control Series
The Control Modules with Communications have additional
features:
• Ethernet communication capability through a built-in web server
(Ethernet Control Modules only) allows you to monitor your control
system status and set up or change the parameters by means of
a direct Ethernet cable connection, through a LAN connection, or
over the Internet. The built in web server delivers user-friendly web
pages to client browsers on a desktop, laptop, tablet, or smart
device.
• The Web page server on Ethernet communication modules
provides a simple, intuitive web interface for easy remote
monitoring, setup, adjustment and remote monitoring of your
control systems across Ethernet networks.
• RS485, RTU-compliant Modbus® network communication
capability (Modbus control modules only) enables a head-end
RS485 Modbus master controller to read and write control system
status and setup parameters to the System 450 Modbus
communication control module.
• Password protection for local access (Ethernet and Modbus
control modules only) and password protection for remote access
(Ethernet control module only) deters unauthorized changes to the
control system settings, but allows local and remote monitoring of
your control system status.
• Analog output signal limiting features (communication control
modules only) allow you to select the rate and condition range at
which the control updates the analog output signal, potentially
reducing wear on the controlled equipment.
• Binary input with time delay (communication control modules only)
allows you to use an external set of dry contacts and selectable
time delays to control relay outputs.

• Air and fluid filter status monitoring and alarming
• Chiller barrel flow monitoring, control, and alarming
• Solar air and water heating applications
Note: Communications modules add network communication to any
application of your choosing, except those requiring reset, setback, or
EC motor control.
Repair Information
If a System 450 module fails to operate within its specifications,
replace the module. For a replacement module, contact your
Johnson Controls® representative.
