Borealis supports the use of Series 2 MR16OUT modules as well as the new Series 3 enhanced modules - which offer an improved processor, increased memory plus an embedded crypto memory chip that provides a secured layer of encryption to onboard sensitive data.
The MR16OUT module can be used for a variety of applications, such as controlling heating/cooling, lighting and controlling doors that do not have access control. You can also use the I/O linkage functionality to control outputs from dedicated general purpose inputs.
The S1 switch on the MR16OUT module is used to set the RS-485 address and the controller's baud rate. The first MR16 module that you add to the bus, by default, will be configured in the software as address 0 and the default baud rate is set to 38,400bps.
The S1 switch should have #6 and #7 in the ON position and all other switches are in the OFF position. This configures the controller as address 0 and the baud rate will be 38,400.
Use the S1 switch to change the RS-485 address (switches 1-5) or the baud rate (switches 6 and 7).
Because address 0 is a valid address on the 485 network, the second address will be address 1 (#1 in the ON position), the third module will be address 2 (with switch #2 in the ON position) - as highlighted in the following image.
The comm address will automatically be set in the software based on the following rules:
