LG PDRYCB500

Use cases

• Monitor room temperature and setpoint temperature of LG HVAC units on a live cloud dashboard.
• Control on/off status and operating mode remotely to respond to tenant comfort requests.
• Create an alert when an error alarm is triggered on a connected LG indoor unit.
• Adjust fan speed and setpoint temperature across multiple LG units from a single interface.
• Track HVAC operating mode changes over time to optimize energy consumption in commercial buildings.

Installation

1. 1Connect the ModbusCloud gateway (MCG or MLP series) to the LG PDRYCB500 contact board using a standard RS-485 wiring connection (A, B, and GND terminals).
2. 2Configure the Modbus address on the PDRYCB500 following the procedure in the LG V-Net PDRYCB500 manual, then reboot the LG device so the new address takes effect.
3. 3Set the baud rate on the gateway to 9600 to match the PDRYCB500 default communication settings.
4. 4Import the LG PDRYCB500 template from the ModbusCloud template library and assign it to the connected gateway.
5. 5Verify the connection by checking that room temperature and on/off status values appear correctly on the ModbusCloud dashboard.
6. 6If multiple LG units are connected, assign unique Modbus addresses to each PDRYCB500 board and add a template instance per unit.
