Table 2. BACnet Network Connection Details

Network Connector Type BACnet MS/TP An RS485 connector links the BACnet Communication Module to the MS/TP

network. The connector port has three pins: + , -, and Common. Pin 1 → COM → Common (isolated from host controller) Pin 2 → Tx/Rc + → EIA485 Transmit/Receive Positive Pin 3 → Tx/Rc - → EIA485 Transmit/Receive Negative

BACnet IP or BACnet Ethernet

An RJ45 connector links the BACnet Communication Module to the BACnet IP or BACnet Ethernet network. The LEDs for this connector function as follows: Green – This LED flashes to indicate Ethernet activity. If configured for

MS/TP, this LED does not flash green, even if it is connected to an active Ethernet port.

Yellow –This LED indicates the port speed. The communication module always operates in full-duplex mode. If the output is Off, the speed is 10 mbps. If the output is On, the speed is 100 mbps.

16-Pin Header

The 16-pin header connects the Chiller I/O Backplane to the BACnet communication module through the bottom of the communication module. The pins are on located on the back side of the of the communication module.

J8 Jumper The BACnet Communication Module has a built-in terminating resistor labeled “J8” on the circuit board. The communication module ships with the jumper installed, providing 120 Ohms of end-of-line resistance to the network. Typically, a network is terminated at each end of each segment. However, it is the responsibility of the system installer/integrator to recommend whether or not to terminate a device within the network. If the device does not require terminating resistance, or if an external terminating resistor is used, the jumper on J8 should be removed. See Figure 2 for location.

Integration

Introduction Once the BACnet Communication Module has been properly installed on the unit controller, it is then possible to integrate the unit controller into a building automation system (BAS) via the BACnet network. The addressing and configuration process is described separately for each protocol (BACnet MS/TP, BACnet IP, and BACnet Ethernet) in the following sections. The BACnet Communication Module can be configured using the Magnitude chiller unit controller Operator Interface Touch Screen (OITS) display. The unit is ready to operate after you have configured the parameter values of the unit controller for your particular network. Refer to the Magnitude Chiller Operation and Maintenance Manual (OM 1034) for default values and unit controller OITS operating instructions. Refer to McQuay Protocol Document ED 15117 for descriptions of all the available BACnet parameters. Figures 3 and 4 show the chiller unit controller OITS display screens with the corresponding network parameters available for configuration. These two screens (titled BAS1 and BAS2) are accessed by pressing the BAS button at the top of the column on the right-hand side of the main unit controller OITS display.

Note: Refer to the Magnitude Chiller Operation and Maintenance Manual (OM 1034) for details regarding accessing and using the unit controller OITS display.

BACnet MS/TP Addressing The BACnet MS/TP Media Access Control (MAC) address is a one-octet address that must be set during the BACnet Communication Module configuration. The MAC address must be unique to the MS/TP network and have a valid range of 0-127. Additionally, there are certain parameters that must be set properly to verify communication between Magnitude Chiller Unit Controller and the MS/TP network. Table 3 provides details about these addressing parameters. See your system integrator for additional information regarding proper BACnet MS/TP addressing.

Changing the device object name may affect the operation of other BACnet devices on the network that have previously discovered the device. The BACnet Communication Module takes up to 60 seconds before this change is recognized. A power cycle is not needed.

Network Address

IP Address of the BACnet Communication Module

172.16.5.8/ If the IP address is changed via the unit controller OITS display during run-time, the update is automatically applied to the BACnet Communication Module as soon as the change is received. The IP address is checked for validity as an IP address and against the Subnet Mask. If the address is not valid, the BACnet Communication Module does not enable BACnet/IP communications. The device does not initiate or respond to BACnet messages. If the IP address is changed at run-time and the address is not a valid IP address, the change is ignored. The existing address remains in effect. Changing the IP address may affect the operation of other BACnet devices on the network that may be dependent on objects within the device.

Subnet Mask Subnet Mask of the BACnet Communication Module

255.255.255.0/ If the Subnet Mask is changed, the update is automatically applied to the BACnet Communication Module as soon as the change is received. The Subnet Mask is checked for validity against the IP address. If the Subnet Mask is not valid, the BACnet Communication Module does not enable BACnet/IP communications. The device does not initiate or respond to BACnet messages. If the Subnet Mask is changed at run-time and the Subnet Mask is not a valid Subnet Mask, the change is ignored. The existing mask remains in effect Changing the Subnet Mask may affect the operation of other BACnet devices on the network that may be dependent on objects within the device.

Name Value (Range)/Definition Initial Value/Note

Default Gateway

Gateway address “None”/ If the default gateway address is changed, the update is automatically applied to the BACnet Communication Module as soon as the change is received. Changing the default gateway address may affect the operation of other BACnet devices on the network if they are dependent on objects within the device.

BBMD IP Address

IP Address for the BACnet Broadcast Management Device (BBMD) if used.

“None”/ If the BBMD address is not 0, the BACnet Communication Module sends a Register-Foreign-Device message to the address. If the result code returned is X’0000’, the BACnet Communication Module renews the registration at the period defined by the Foreign Device Time-To-Live value. If the BBMD address is changed, the update is automatically applied to the BACnet Communication Module as soon as the change is received. If the new value is 0, the existing signup is no longer refreshed and will be allowed to expire. In other words, when a BBMD IP address is defined here, a Register-Foreign-Device message is sent to register the chiller unit controller’s IP address with the BBMD. This message is continuously sent out before the Foreign Device Time expires. If the new value is non-zero, a Register-Foreign-Device message is sent to the BBMD address that has been defined by this parameter. Changing the BBMD address may affect the operation of other BACnet devices on the network if they are dependent on objects within the device.

Foreign Device Time

0-65535/ The time, in seconds, within which the foreign device must re-register with the BBMD. If it does not re-register, the BBMD removes it from its Foreign Device Table (FDT) and discontinues forwarding messages to the foreign device.

0/ If the Foreign Device Time-To-Live (FDTTL) is changed, the update is automatically applied to the BACnet Communication Module as soon as the change is received. If the new value is different from the existing value, a Register-Foreign-Device message is sent to the BBMD address. A minimum TTL of 15 seconds is enforced to avoid excessive network traffic.

Service Information

Troubleshooting General

If you can control the unit from the chiller unit controller OITS display, but you are not able to communicate with unit via the BACnet network/BAS workstation, follows these steps: Check the network wiring Verify BAS Network Protocol is set correctly using the chiller unit controller OITS display. Check the network parameters and verify that they are correct and that there are no duplicate

devices on the network. Verify that the serial cable is connected from the CPU to the chiller I/O backplane board at J16

(ribbon cable) is connected. Reduce (isolate) the network to one single unit controller. Once this small network is working

properly, continue to add more devices to the network.

BACnet IP If Protocol Type is set to BACnet IP, use the standard TCP/IP suite of protocols to check your connectivity with other devices. Using the PC’s Windows Command Prompt, type “ping .” If you get a response from that IP address, you are connected to the BACnet Communication Module. If you do not get a response, verify the BACnet Communication Module and the PC network settings.

BACnet MS/TP BACnet MS/TP-specific communication errors could result from one or more of the following conditions below. Follow these steps: Verify that there are no duplicate MAC Addresses and/or Device-IDs on the network. Check that no more than two network bias resistors are installed. Confirm that all terminations exist and/or remove any invalid terminations, particularily in the

middle of the bus. Verify that polarity is correct (a single node can disrupt the MS/TP network.) Check that there are no more than 32 devices installed in a single segment (using standard

transceivers.) Verify correct topology (e.g. a star topology rather than a straight bus topology) may impact

physical medium (Layer 1). You should carefully follow the EIA-485 specifications (see www.ashrae.org). If the BACnet Communication Module still does not respond, contact the McQuay Controls Customer Support Group at 866-4MCQUAY (866-462-7829).
