need to change some of these addresses. The
unit operating as the Lead Lag Master should have
address “1,” and the other boilers should each have
unique Modbus address numbers.
CAUTION
You should set the Modbus addresses before you
connect the Modbus wiring. If the wiring is attached
before the Modbus addresses on the controls are
changed, there will be multiple controls with the
same address, and the system will not work.

If the Modbus addresses are not assigned properly,
the system could fail to operate correctly, or it might
