Communication Wiring -- Protocols
General —
Protocols are the communication languages spoken by
control devices. The main purpose of a protocol is to
communicate information in the most efficient method
possible. Different protocols exist to provide different
kinds of information for different appli cations. In the BAS
application, many different protocols are used, depending
on manufacturer. Protocols do not change the function of
a controller; just make the front end user different.
The RTU Open controller ca n be set t o communicate on
four different protocols: BACnet, Modbus, N2, and
LonWorks. Switch 3 (SW3) on the board is used to set
protocol and baud rate. Switches 1 and 2 (SW1 and SW2)
are used to set t he board’s network address. See Fig. 68
and 69 for protocol switch settings and address switches.
The third party connection to the RTU Open controller is
through plug J19. See Fig. 70 for wiring.
NOTE: Power must be cycled after changing the SW1--3
switch settings.
Refer to the RTU Open v3 Integration Guide for more
detailed information on pro toco ls , thir d party wir ing , and
networking.
