For details see the Open Controller Network Wiring Guide.
Do not apply line voltage (mains voltage) to the controller's ports and terminals.
To wire the controller to the BACnet MS/TP or ARC156 network
1 Pull the screw terminal connector from the controller's power terminals labeled
and
(Ground).
2 Check the communications wiring for shorts and grounds.
3 Connect the communications wiring to the controller’s screw terminals labeled
,
, and
.
Use the same polarity throughout the network segment.
4 Set the communication type and baud rate.
Set BACnet Mode jumper to...
MS/TP
See To set a port's baud rate using PuTTY.
ARC156
N/A. Baud rate is automatically set to 156 kbps.
Use the same baud rate for all controllers on the network segment.
5 Wire the controllers on a BACnet MS/TP or BACnet ARC156 network segment in a daisy-chain configuration.
6 Install a BT485 on the first and last controller on a network segment to add bias and prevent signal
distortions due to echoing.
