 BMS(Modbus) Protocol (V1.2) for Gree Multi VRF System(CAN Mode)

Preface
This protocol specifies the communication format and also the data format for the communication of the multi
VRF system.
This protocol is applicable to the Multi VRF System(CAN Mode).
Please pay particular attention to the following three points before the development of the BMS software.
1） Make sure you have read the section 6 “Precautions before the Use of the Communication Module”.
2） Make sure you have read all parts which are about the precautions before the development to the BMS
interface of each unit, like 5.1.2 “Precautions before the Development to the BMS Interface of Multi VRF
System(CAN Mode)”
3） Please contact GREE technicians to confirm the compatibility of the BMS system.

 BMS(Modbus) Protocol (V1.2) for Gree Multi VRF System(CAN Mode)

1. Terms and Definitions

1.1 Modbus Communication
Modbus protocol is such a protocol as is used for industrial communication and distributed control system.
Modbus network is a master-slave network, allowable for the communication between one master unit and multiple
slave units through data interchange. The Modbus communication is realized in the request-response way, that is, each
request sent by the master unit is corresponding to a response replied by the slave unit.

1.2 ASCII Mode

Under this mode, as for the communication via the Modbus, eight bits in one piece of information can be
transmitted as two ASCII characters.

1.3 RTU Mode

Under this mode, eight bits can be divided into two four-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 transmitted continuously.

1.4 Master Unit

It indicates the device which sends out the request to Modbus, like a PC.

1.5 Slave Unit

It indicates such a device as is capable of responding to the request sent by the master unit, like a Modbus
Gateway which is taken as an example in this protocol.

1.6 Coil
It is expressed by one bit, like the switch bit, failure bit etc. The coil is a universal express way of the Modbus
protocol and actually it is a one-bit data value, namely Boolean, switching value.

1.7 Register
It is expressed by two bytes (16 bits), like temperature, mode etc. The register is a universal express way of the
Modbus protocol and actually it is a word (16 bits), or an analog value.

1.8 Device Address

It indicates the address of the Modbus Gateway, through which the master unit can identify each Modbus Gateway
in the network. Address range: 1～255. “0” is the address of the broadcast (it can be received by all Modbus
Gateways).

1.9 Broadcast
When the master unit sends out a control frame, then all slave units in the network can receive it and then all
perform 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 protocol.

Table １ Function Code

Description Function Code

Read Multiple Coils 0x01

Read Multiple Registers 0x03

Write Multiple Coils 0x0f

Write Multiple Registers 0x10

1.11 Starting Address

It indicates the starting address of the register (coil: bit address; register: word address). The data translation starts
from the high-order eight bits to the low-order eight bits.

1.12 Data Size

It indicates the operated data count starting from the starting address (coil: bit count, register: word count). The
data translation starts from the high-order eight bits to the low-order eight bits.

1.13 Byte Count

It indicates the count of the effective bytes during the data transmission.

1.14 Effective Data

It indicates the control data, status data etc.

1.15 Alarm Code

It indicates the error type which is detected by the Modbus Gateway when the master unit is sending the request
frame.

1.16 CRC
It indicates the cyclic redundancy code consisting of two bytes. The data translation starts from the low eight bits
to the high-order eight bits. See Annex A for more details of its calculation.

1.17 Request Frame

It is the request sent by the master unit to the Modbus Gateway.

1.18 Response Frame

It is the response replied by the Modbus Gateway to the request frame sent by the master unit.

1.19 Communication Frame

It is the collection of continuously transmitted bytes during the communication.

1.20 BMS
Its full name is building management system

2. Brief Introduction to the BMS System

1） The Modbus monitoring system is capable of controlling more than 256 sets of outdoor units and 1024 indoor
units at the same time.
2） The interface RS485 of Modbus communication protocol, provided by the long-distance monitoring system,
can be directly connected with the BMS system or Gree long-distance monitoring system, that is, control more than 256
sets of outdoor units and 1024 indoor units and display their running status at the same time. The control function of the
BMS system is equal to that of the long-distance monitoring system. However, the command sent later takes the
priority.

3. Network Topology
3.1. General
1） As shown in Fig. 1, it can be seen that the whole network consists of two parts: units network and Modbus
network, which are connected through the Modbus Gateway by which the communication data can be interchanged.

Notes:
One modbus bus can support up to 255 Modbus gateways. The address of Modbus gateway is not allowed to be
repeated, otherwise communication would fail.

4. 4. MODBUS Protocol Format

4.1. General
Modbus actually has become the 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, it can be
developed fast and also can be conveniently connected with the devices which support this protocol. There are two
communication modes, RTU and ASCII. The former one is adopted for the BMS interface.

 BMS(Modbus) Protocol (V1.2) for Gree Multi VRF System(CAN Mode)

4.2. Protocol Interface

The protocol interface is the Modbus RTU protocol.
4.3. Hardware Interface
1) Communication Interface：RS485
2) Communication Mode：Baud Rate：9600 bit/s
（In some special event, other baud rate also can be selected but the communication mode should be compatible
with this protocol）
Start Bit：1
Data Bit：8
Check Bit：None
Stop Bit：1

4.4. Universal Communication Frame Format of Modbus under RTU Mode

Start Time Interval Add. Code Function Code Data Area CRC Stop Time Interval
T1-T2-T3-T4 1 Byte 1 Byte n Bytes 2 Bytes T1-T2-T3-T4
Under the RTU mode, there is at least 3.5ms dead time before the data transmission, which can be figured out
through the adopted baud rate (like T1-T2-T3-T4 listed in the table above) and there is another 3.5 ms dead time after
the transmission of the last character. After that, another set of data can be transmitted. The whole set of data should be
transmitted continuously, if there is a pause more than 1.5 ms, the receiver will jump to the transmission of next set of
data.
If the dead time is less than 3.5 ms, 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 date 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, so is the low-order byte and bit. See Table 2 for more
details.
4） The master unit can operate one bit among the communication data or multiple continuous 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 transmit or read the effective data of the communication frame. For instance,
when nine “1” bits are read or transmitted, then two bytes are need, “1111 1111” and “0000 0001”. For the
later byte, the ineffective bits “0” should be cleared.

1） The unit of the register is “word “ which has a corresponding address starting from 0
2） When the master unit reads a word, it needs to read two bytes from the high-order eight bits to the low-order
eight bits.

Modbus Long-distance Monitoring Protocol (V1.2)

5. Communication Protocol for GMV Multi VRF System

5.1. General
1） The BMS is available to provide the Modbus protocol interface. The long-distance monitoring system can be
used to monitor the Multi VRF System(CAN Mode) or be incorporated into the BMS system. Through the
long-distance monitoring PC or the BMS system, the user can take a centralized management and control to up to 256
sets of outdoor units and 1024 indoor units. It without doubt is the high-efficiency tool for the management of the
intelligent air conditioners system in the modern buildings.
2） This BMS system is applicable to the Multi VRF System(CAN Mode).
3） Through this interface, it can not only realize the long-distance monitoring to the unit, including the running
temperature of the unit, the status of the compressor, and the failure status but also set the unit long distantly, like
temperature, running mode, on/off, mode shield, on/off shield etc.
4） In the protocol, “R” indicates “only read” and “W/R” indicates “write and read”.

5.2. Precautions before the Software Development to the BMS Interface for the GMV Multi
VRF System
Before the software development to the provided BMB interface, please make sure the setting of the DIP switch
and the wiring are correct.
 Precautions to the Software Design：
★（1） ： When there is a conflict with cooling and heating type of outdoor unit, the mode set by BMS system
software is invalid. Monitoring software is suggested to indicate invalid operation.
If the outdoor unit is cooling only type, setting of heating/floor heating/heat supply/quick heating is invalid;
If the outdoor unit is heating only type, setting of cooling/dehumidifying is invalid;
If the outdoor unit is air supply type, setting of other modes is void, except air supply/fresh air.

★（2） ：When there is a conflict with the mode of master indoor unit, the indoor unit mode set by BMS
system software is invalid; Floor heating/heat supply/quick heating modes are handled only by the
corresponding indoor units and they are invalid for other indoor units.
★（3） ：When the frame type of exception response received by BMS system software is 0x04, it means there
is communication malfunction between the unit and gateway.
★（4） ： Energy saving process:
When “energy saving” functional is turned on, all upper limit temperature and lower limit temperature of
energy saving will react.
Setting lower limit temperature of cooling energy saving: when “energy saving” reacts and the lower limit
of energy-saving temperature is higher than the Temperature setting set by BMS system software, BMS
system software is suggested to indicate operation failure if BMS system software sets Temperature setting. It
is valid only when the Temperature setting set by BMS system software is higher than the lower limit of
energy saving temperature. Lower limit temperature setting of dehumidifying energy saving, quick heating
energy saving and heat supply energy saving are in a similar way.
Setting upper limit temperature of heating energy saving: when “energy saving” reacts and the upper
limit energy-saving temperature is lower than the Temperature setting by BMS system software, BMS system
software is suggested to indicate operation failure if BMS system software sets Temperature setting. It is
valid only when the Temperature setting set by BMS system software is lower than the upper limit
temperature of energy saving.
★（5） ： Determine the effective range of all data sent by BMS system software to gateway.
★（6） ： After de-energization and energization of gateway, prior to not receiving one frame of effective
device information data, the gateway will report abnormal response 04.
★（7） ： Forced mode of outdoor unit takes priority over control of BMS system software. In this case, any
control of BMS system software is invalid.
★（8） ： Remote lock
Under any status, setting is valid;
Under remote lock status, forced mode of outdoor unit is valid, as well as hardware resetting of indoor unit.
★（9） ： ON / OFF

10
Modbus Long-distance Monitoring Protocol (V1.2)

When unit is forcedly shutdown with power shortage (displaying malfunction code L8), start-up sent by BMS
system software is invalid.
In any other case, On/Off by BMS system software is valid.
★（10）： Remote shielding of ON / OFF, shielding ON, shielding OFF
Under any status, setting is valid;
Under these three shielding status, timer of indoor unit is temporarily invalid (timer mark is not cleared), and
can not be set; But timer can be cancelled by remote controller;
★（11） ： 8℃ heating function (i.e. absence mode)
It is valid only to set the function under heating mode. 8℃ heating (absence mode) will exit automatically if
switch to other modes. When 8℃ heating has been set, fan speed and sleep setting are invalid;
8℃ heating (i.e. absence mode) and remote shielding of temperature setting are mutually exclusive,
whichever set first will prevail: that is to say, if remote shield temperature setting has been set, 8℃ heating
(i.e. absence mode) cannot be set; if indoor unit has been under 8℃ heating (i.e. absence mode), it is invalid
to set remote shield temperature setting function;
★（12）： Low temperature dehumidifying:
Setting of low temperature dehumidifying is valid only under the dehumidifying mode. Low temperature
dehumidifying mode will exit automatically when switching to other mode;
Low temperature dehumidifying and remote shielding of temperature setting are mutually exclusive, the same
as that of 8℃ heating.
Under low temperature dehumidifying, set temperature is forced to be 12℃;
★（13）： Temperature setting
Set temperature is forced to be 8℃ or 12℃ when the unit is under 8℃ heating or low temperature
dehumidifying. In this case, Temperature setting by BMS system software is invalid.
When energy saving of indoor unit is turned on, temperature set by BMS system software will be invalid if it
is beyond the limited value of energy saving (for example, the lower limit of energy saving in cooling is 20℃.
If the temperature set by BMS system software is lower than 20℃, it will be invalid); The energy saving will
be of no effect temporarily, if the BMS system software sets shielding temperature. In this case, it shall
response the temperature set by BMS system software.
★（14）： Shielding of temperature setting
Shielding of temperature setting is mutually exclusive with absence mode (8℃ heating) and low temperature
dehumidifying (whichever set first will prevail);
Energy saving will be of no effect temporarily when set temperature has been shielded;
Sleep mode will be cancelled and cannot be set when set temperature has been shielded.
★（15）： Energy saving and its limited temperature
Under fan mode, energy saving setting is invalid;
Energy saving will be of no effect temporarily when set temperature has been shielded (energy saving mark
cannot be cleared);
Under any status, setting limited temperature of energy saving is valid.
★（16）： Shielding of energy saving:
Under any status, setting is valid.
★（17）： Sleep mode
The current indoor unit only has sleep mode 2. If long-distance monitoring sets sleep mode 1, mode 2 or
mode 3, all of them are analyzed to be sleep mode 2, and the status responded by indoor unit is also sleep
mode 2;
Sleep mode will be cancelled and can not be set when shielding temperature setting.
Sleep mode will retime when adjusting temperature setting (including BMS system software).
★（18）： Fan speed:
Under dehumidifying mode, fan speed is forced to be low fan speed. Other fan speed set by BMS system
software is invalid.
If BMS system software sets the fan speed with indoor unit under turbo status or forced quiet status, the
indoor unit will exit from the status; under 8℃ heating, fan speed is forced to be auto. Setting other fan
speed is invalid;
If the fan of indoor unit only has three kinds of fan speed, the five kinds of fan speed sent by BMS system
software will be analyzed as below: low and medium-low fan speed are analyzed to be low fan speed;
medium fan speed is analyzed to be medium fan speed; medium-high and high fan speed are analyzed to be

11
Modbus Long-distance Monitoring Protocol (V1.2)

high fan speed;

★（19）： Turbo
The setting is valid only under cooling/heating mode and invalid under other modes.
Turbo cannot be set under 8℃ heating;
When the indoor unit is running under quiet mode, if BMS system software sets turbo mode and it is valid,
the indoor unit will enter turbo mode and exit from quiet mode;
★（20）： Quiet
Under dehumidifying/fan mode, quiet setting is invalid;
Quiet mode cannot be set under 8℃ heating;
When the indoor unit is running under turbo mode, if BMS system software sets quiet mode and it is valid,
the indoor unit will enter quiet mode and exit from turbo mode;
★（21）： Swing
Setting of up&down swing and left&right swing is only valid to the model with these swing ways (see indoor
unit logic);
For the indoor unit without fixed angel swing function, setting (up&down, left&right) swing in position 1,
position 2, position 3, position 4 and position 5 are equal to swing off; other settings are equal to swing on;
★（22）： Drying
Setting drying mode is valid only under cooling/dehumidifying mode and unit on status; it will not be
cancelled in case of switching mode.
★（23）： Air exchange
Setting air exchange function by BMS system software is valid under any status;
Manual shutdown (including BMS system software) and timer off will turn off air exchange function;
★（24）： Filter cleaning reminder and elimination:
Under any status, setting is valid;
★（25）： Shielding of timer
Under any status, setting is valid;
Timer of indoor unit will be of no effect temporarily if timer is shielded (timer mark is not cleared); Timer is
not displayed and cannot be set; Timer will recover after canceling shielding;
★（26）： Prohibition of auxiliary heating
Under any status, setting is valid;
Export unit doesn’t have controllable auxiliary heating function and prohibition function of auxiliary heating.

5.3. Definition of Effective Data

The data for the Modbus communication protocol can be divided into two types: register and switching value. The
former one indicates the values of temperature, valves and other continuous, multi-mode values, while the later one
indicates the value which only has two status, like the temperature sensor failure (with only two options: “Yes” or
“No”).

Annex A
A.1 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 generation of 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 was 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 more 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 How to Calculate the CRC

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.

A.3 CRC Example

Parameters：Data (starting address of the block data), Data Size (Byte count of the block data)
Return：CRC Calculating Result
uint16 CRC_Calculate(uint8 *data, uint16 dataSize)
{
uint8 i;
uint8 temp;
uint16 j;
uint16 CRCode;
CRCode=0xffff;
for(j=0;j<dataSize;j++){
CRCode=CRCode^data[j];
for( i=0; i < 8; i++ ){
temp=CRCode & 0x0001;
CRCode=(CRCode >> 1);
if(temp ==1){
CRCode=(CRCode^0xA001);// 0xA001 is a preset multinomial, a constant.
}
}
}
return CRCode;
}
