BACnet
MS/TP
BACnet Master Slave/Token Passing (MS/TP) is used for
communicating BACnet over a sub--network of
BACnet--only controllers. This is the defa ult Carrie r
communications protocol. Each RTU--MP module acts as
an MS/TP Master. The speed of an MS/TP network can
range from 9600 to 76.8K baud. Physical Addresses can
be set from 01 to 99.
Modbus
The RTU--MP module can speak the Modicon Modbus
RTU Protocol as described in the Modicon Modbus
Protocol Reference Guide, PI--MBUS--300 Rev. J. The
speed of a Modbus network ca n range from 9600 to 76.8K
baud. Physical Addresses can be set from 01 to 99.
Johnson
N2
N2 is not a standard protocol, but one that was created by
Johnson Controls, Inc. that has bee n made open and
avai lable t o the public. The speed of N2 network is
limited to only 9600 baud. Physical Addresses can be set
from 01 to 99.
LonW
orks
LonWorks is an open protocol that requires the use of
Eche lon’s Neuron microprocessor to encode and decode
the LonWorks packets. In order to reduce the cost of
adding that hardware on every module, a separate
LonWorks Option Card (LON--OC) was designed to
connect to the RTU--MP.
This accessory card is needed for LonWorks and has to be
ordered and connect ed using the ribbon cable to plug J15.
The RTU--MP’s baud rate must be set to 38.4k to
communicate with t he L ON--OC. The address switches
(SW1 & SW2) are not used with LonWorks.
Local
Access
BACview
6
Handheld
The BACview
6
is a keypad/display interface used to
connect to the RTU--MP to access the control information,
read sensor values, and test the RTU, see Fig. 69. This is
an accessory interface that does not come with the MP
controller and can only be used at the unit. Connect the
BACview
6
to the RTU--MP’s J12 local access port. There
are 2 password protected levels in the display (User and
Admin). The user password defaults to 0000 but can be
changed. The Admin password is 1111 and cannot be
change d. There is a 10 minute auto logout if a screen is
left idle. See RTU --MP Controls, Start--Up, Operation, and
Troubleshooting Instructi ons (Form 48--50H--T--2T),
Appendix A for navigation and screen content.
Virtual BACview
Vi rtual BACview is a freeware computer program that
functions as the BACview
6
Handheld. The USB Link
interface (USB--L) is required to connect a computer to
the RT U--MP board. The link cable connects a USB port
to the J12 local access port. This program functions and
operates identical to the handheld.
RTU--MP Troubleshooting
Communication LEDs
The LEDs indicate if the c ontroller is speaking to the
devic es on the network. The LEDs should reflect
communication traffic based on the baud rate set. The
higher the baud rate the more soli d the LEDs will appear.
