and look at each device’s status in the Status field.
You will see one of the following messages:
• Online - The device is communicating normally.
• Offline - The device is not communicating, has not
been commissioned, is not functional, or is not pow-
ered up. Verify the device is powered up, wired cor-
rectly, and has the proper network address, baud
rate, and parity.
• Unknown - The device is not communicating or has
not been commissioned. Verify the device is pow-
ered up, wired correctly, and has the proper network
address, baud rate, and parity.
• No Port - No port is set up in the E2 Serial Config-
uration Manager to be a MODBUS port.
• Wrong FW Rev - This message is likely caused by
the device having a firmware version older than the
minimum revision required by E2 for communica-
tion. Replace the device with a new one or a device
that has the latest version of firmware on it.
17.2.Wiring Types
Retail Solutions specifies Belden #8761 shielded
twisted pair cables for use as MODBUS wiring (or
Belden #82761 and Belden #88761 for plenum instal-
lations).
For MODBUS network wiring of XEV series of
controllers to E2, Belden #8641 (CPC P/N 135-8641)
is the recommended wire type to use.
If the recommended cable is not available in your
area, be sure the wiring meets or exceeds the follow-
ing specs:
