M172

I'm not typically on this forum. I am certified in EcoStruxure and spend most of my time on that forum. With that said we have a very important customer who has reached out and ask if we could help with this controller. It is labeled M172 TM172PBG42RI. Our customer is asking what the IP address is, and if it can be changed. Also does this controller support any type of open protocol such as BacNet, Modbus, etc... I would like to say I appreciate any/all help in advance.

Hi,

The controller support Modbus RTU/TCP as Client and as Server and also BACnet MS/TP and BACnet IP. The standart IP address is 10.0.0.100. The IP could be changed via Modbus (USB/RS485(TCP) or via Webserver or via Ecostruxure Machine Expert HVAC. Your customer could find all these informations in the User Manual

Modbus TCP and BACnet IP need to be activated, this is only possible after the change of the default Webserver credentials.

The retain attribut is not supported on TM172. You need to use EEPROM Parameter instead. Or you could create a global variabel on the defined address 102. On Address 102 you have 32BIT space for retain information.
