Preface
Modbus 。This protocol specifies the communication format and data format for the Modbus communication of
All DC Inverter.
This protocol is applicable to All DC Inverter
BMS ：Please pay attention to the following 3 points before developing the BMS software:

1. MODBUS Controllers for the IDUs of this series have been integrated with MODBUS interface, so there is
no need to connect communication modules. In this context, communication module indicates the module
that is integrated by the controllers. Please be noted.
2. 5.1.2 BMS Make sure you have read the precautions before developing the BMS interface of each unit,
e.g. section 5.1.2 ―Precautions before the Development of the BMS Interface for All DC Inverter ‖.
3. Please contact Aermec to confirm the compatibility of the BMS system.
：Notice:

This product is subject to change without prior notice.

一 I. Terms and Definitions

1.1 Modbus Modbus communication

Modbus is a protocol used for industrial communication and a distributed control system. Modbus network is a
master-slave network, which allows the communication between one mater unit and one or multiple slave units to
realize data interchange. The Modbus communication is realized in a request-response way, that is, each request sent
by the master unit is corresponding to a response replied by the salve unit.
1.2 ASCII Mode

Modbus 2 ASCII Under this mode, as for the communication via the Modbus, eight bits in one piece of
information can be transimitted as two ASCII characters.
1.3 RTU Mode
8 2 4 16 ASCII ，Under this mode, eight bits can be divided into two 4-bit hexadecimal characters. The
advantage of the RTU mode is that, with the same baud rate the transmitted character density is higher than that in the
ASCII mode. Each piece of information should be tramsmitted continuously.
1.4 Master Unit

Modbus PC It indicates the device which sends out the request to

5
Modbus, like a PC.
1.5 Slave Unit
Modbus ，It indicates the device which needs Modbus communication interface and is capable of responding to
the request sent by the master unit, like a communication module, which is taken as an example in this protocol.
1.6 Coil
1 Bit Modbus 1 ， Bool、It is expressed by one bit, like the switch bit, failure bit, etc. The coil is a universal
expression of the Modbus protocol and actually it is a one-bit data value, namely Boolean, switching value.
1.7 Register
2 Byte （16 Bit)Modbus ，Word（16 个 Bit）。It is expressed by two bytes (16 bits), like temperature, mode,
etc. The register is a universal expression of the Modbus protocol and actually it is a word (16 bits), or an analog value.
1.8 Device Address
Modbus 1～255，0 。It indicates the address of the Modbus communication module, throught which the master
unit can identify each communication module in the network. Address range: 1～255. Address 0 is the address of
broadcast (it can be received by all communication modules).
1.9 Broadcast
0。When the master unit sends out a control frame, then all salve units in the network can receive it and then all
performs this control action (but no reply is given). The device address for the broadcast frame is 0.
1.10 Function Code
It is used to identify the function of the communication frame. See the following table for the function codes
covered in this protocal.

II. Brief Introduction of the BMS System
The Modbus monitoring system of All DC Inverter is capable of controlling up to 255 sets of units at the same
time.
The interface RS485 of Modbus communication protocal, provided by the long-distance monitoring system, can
de directly connected with the BMS or Aermec monitoring system, that is, can control up to 255 units and
display their running statuss at the same time. The control function of the BMS/PC is equal to that of the unit itself. In
other words, BMS/PC and units can both control the functions of units at them same time. However, the command sent
later takes the priority.

III. Network Topology

3.1. General
As shown in Fig.1, the whole network consists of two parts: units’ network and Modbus network. The IDUs are with
MODBUS interface and have to be selected by setting address mode through the wired controller so that the
communication data of the two networks can be interchanged. See the corresponding section in unit’s service
manual for the detailed setting method.
There are at most 255 comunication modules in one monitoring system, that is, only 255 indoor units can be
connected.
When there are more than 255 units, a new network can be established through another port which is also capable
of connecting 255 communication modules.

IV. Modbus Protocal Format
4.1. General
Modbus has actually become an industrial communication standard because it is not only fully opened and used
widely but also simple and can be debugged flexibly. Besides, as for the communication of multiple units,
Modbus can be developed fast and also can be conveniently connected with devices which support this protocal. There
are two communication modes: RTU and ASCII. The former one is asopted for the BMS interface.

4.2. Protocal Interface

The protocal interface is the Modbus RTU protocal.

4.3. Hardware Interface

1) Communication Interface: RS485
2) Communication Mode: baud rate: 9600 bit/s (In some special case, other baud rate can be selected but the
communication mechanism should be in accord with this protocal.)
Start Bit：1
Data Bit：8
Check Bit：None
Stop Bit：1

T1-T2-T3-T4 1 Byte 1 Byte n Bytes 2 Bytes T1-T2-T3-T4

Under the RTU mode, there ia at least 3.5ms dead time before the data transmission, which can be figured throught
the adopted baud rate (like T1-T2-T3-T4 in the table above) and there is another 3.5ms dead time after the
transmission of the last character. After that, another set of data can be transimitted.
The whole set of data should be transmitted continuously. If there is a pause more than 1.5ms during the
transmission, the receiver will jump to the transmission of the next set of data. If the dead time is less than 3.5ms, the
transmission would fail as the CRC

for the information combination is ineffective.

1. ―Coil‖indicates the data of some flag bit or failure bit, etc.

2. The unit of data is bit and each bit has a corresponding address.
3. The data bit exists in the byte of the communication frame and each byte is composed of eight bits. The
high-order byte is corresponding to the high-order bit whereas the low-order byte is corresponding to the
low-order bit. See table 2 for more details.
4. The master unit can operate one bit among the communication data or multiple bits at the same time.
5. The bit count which the master unit can read or transmit is less than Byte×8. The ineffective data bit of the
last byte should be cleared when the effective data of the communication frame is transmitted or read. For
instance, when nine bits (the vaule of each is 1) are read or transmitted, then two bytes are needed. The first
one is “1111 1111”and the second one is “0000 0001”. For the last byte, the ineffective bits “0” should be
cleared.

V. Communication Protocal for All DC Inverter

General
All DC Inverter has integrated BMS interface into the indoor units. As Modbus protocal interface is provided,
there is no need to connect communication modules. However, it’s necessary to do some settings through wired
controllers. Please refer to the relevant service manual for the setting methods. The long-distance
monitoring system for All DC Inverter can be used to monitor Gree’s All DC Inverter or be incorporated
into user’s BMS system. By monitoring the PC or BMS system, user can realize a centralized
management and control on up to 255 sets of All DC Inverter It is a highly efficient tool for the management of an
intelligent air conditioning system in modern buildings.
Through this interface, it can not only realize the long-distance monitoring to units, including units’ running
temperature, compressor statuss and error statuss, but also can enable units’ settings remotely, like temperature
setting, mode setting, on/off setting, mode shield setting, on/off shield setting, etc.

In the protocal, ―R‖ indicates ―read only‖ and ―W/R‖ indicates ―write and read‖.

5.2. BMS
Precautions before the Development of the BMS Interface for All DC
Inverter
★(1)：Cooling Only Unit: Heating instruction is
invalid. It is recommended that the monitoring software can tell this operation is invalid.
★(2)：When the format
of the alarm response frame received by the BMS system is 0x04, it indicates that there is communication failure
between units and the communication module.
★(3): Energy Saving Solution:
Cooling mode: When the setting for energy saving under cooling is active, the temperature set by long-distance
monitoring must be higher than the temperature lower limit for energy saving, otherwise units will not response to
the command. It is suggested that the BMS software can tell

17
 the setting fails.
Heating mode: When the setting for energy saving under heating is active, the temperature set by long-distance
monitoring must be lower than the temperature upper limit for energy saving, otherwise units will not response to
the command. It is suggested that the BMS software can tell the setting fails.

★(4)：
When the BMS system needs to cancel or set one of the two flag bits of energy saving, When the BMS system
needs to cancel or set one of the two flag bits of energy saving, the two flag bits need to be cancelled or set
simultaneously.
★(5)：When unit is in fan mode or auto mode, sleep setting
will be invalid.
★(6)：When unit is in auto mode, the setting of
long-distance temperature shield will be invalid.
★(7)：Under power-off statuss, when X-fan function is
energized, fan motor will run for 2min.
★(8)：All data sent by the BMS system to the communication module should be verified if it is effective.

★(9)：After the communication module is powered on again and before receiving any effective data, the alarm
code 04 will be reported.

5.3. Definition of Effective Data

The data for the Modbus communication protocal can be divided into two types: switching value and register. The
register indicates the values of temperature, valves and other continuous or multi-mode values. Switching value
indicates the value which has only two status, like the temperature sensor error (with only two status: abnormal or
normal).

 Annex A
(Normative Annex)
CRC Calculation Method

Calculation Method of CRC: The CRC is first preloading a 16-bit register to all 1’s. Then successively transact
each 8–bit bytes of the message. During calculating the CRC, each 8–bit character is exclusive ORed with the register
contents. Then the result is shifted in the direction of the least significant bit (LSB), with a zero filled into the
most significant bit (MSB) position. The LSB is extracted and examined. If the LSB is a 1, the register is then
exclusive ORed with a preset, fixed value. If the LSB was a 0, no exclusive OR takes place. This process is repeated
until eight shifts have been performed. After the last (eighth) shift, the next 8–bit character is exclusive ORed with the
register’s current value, and the process repeats for eight shifts as described above. The final contents of the register,
after all the characters of the message have been applied, is the CRC value. During transmission and reception of data
in CRC, low order byte is in the front.

A.2

1) Preload a 16–bit register with FFFF hex (all 1’s). Call this the CRC register.
2) Exclusive OR the first 8–bit byte of the message with the low–order byte of the 16–bit CRC register, putting
the result in the CRC registers.
3) Shift the CRC register one bit to the right (toward the LSB), zero–filling the MSB. Extract and examine the
LSB.
4) (If the LSB was 0): Repeat Step 3 (another shift). (If the LSB was 1): Exclusive OR the CRC register with the
polynomial value A001 (1010 0000 0000 0001).
5) Repeat Steps 3 and 4 until 8 shifts have been performed. When this is done, a complete 8–bit byte will have
been processed.
6) Repeat Steps 2 and 5 to process the next 8-bit data.
7) The final obtained CRC register is CRC.
