7-1 Component Communications
You can use component communications to connect two or more E5@C Controllers via RS-485 and
then change the set points or RUN/STOP status for all of the Controllers at the same time. If you
change the set point or RUN/STOP status of the master (i.e., the Controller with a communications unit
number of 0), the set points or RUN/STOP status of all of the slaves (i.e., the Controllers with communi-
cations unit numbers other than 0) that are connected via RS-485 will change automatically. When you
change the set points, the set point from the master can be multiplied by a factor or offset at each slave.
You can also copy the parameter settings in the master to the slaves.
Note: To use component communications, the input type and, if an analog input is used, the decimal point position
must be set to the same values for all of the E5@C Controllers. The operation will not work correctly if the
position of the decimal point is different.
Wire the E5@C Controllers as shown below.
