9.9 Connections to a
Building Automation System
MagnaTherm boilers can be controlled and monitored
through the included Modbus ports. The Modbus
wiring must be completed according to the diagrams
shown below. If alternate communication protocols are
desired, LAARS offers “gateways” to allow BACnet,
LON, and other communications protocols. For
additional information on setting up Modbus and other
communication protocols, contact the factory.
Signals from the Building Automation System will be
connected to the COM2 terminals located on TBI-33A
through 35A of this master boiler display.
WARNING
When servicing the controls, label all wires
prior to disconnection. Wiring errors can cause
improper and dangerous operation. Verify
proper operation after servicing.
