EAGLEHAWK CONTROLLER – INSTALLATION & COMMISSIONING INSTRUCTIONS
EN1Z-1005GE51 R0216 20
BACNET MS/TP BUS CONNECTION
The EAGLEHAWK controller features two RS485 interfaces to which BACnet MS/TP devices can be connected: RS485-1
(consisting of push-in terminals 24 [GND-1], 25, and 26) and/or RS485-2 (consisting of push-in terminals 29, 30, and 31 [GND-
2]).
NOTE: GND-2 is internally connected with 24V-0 (terminal 1)
BACnet MS/TP Bus Considerations
 RS485-1 (isolated)
˗ Max. BACnet MS/TP bus length: 800-1200 meters, depending on baud rate (see section “RS485 Standard” on pg. 8).
˗ Use only shielded, twisted-pair cable and daisy-chain topology.
˗ Must conform to EIA-RS485 cabling guidelines (see section "EIA 485 Cable Specifications" on pg. 18).
 RS485-2 (non-isolated)
˗ Max. BACnet MS/TP bus length: 800-1200 meters, depending on baud rate (see section "RS485 Standard" on pg. 8).
˗ Use only shielded, twisted-pair cable and daisy-chain topology.
˗ Ground noise should not exceed the EIA-485 common mode voltage limit.
˗ Must conform to EIA-RS485 cabling guidelines.
˗ Should not extend beyond a single building.
Connecting EAGLEHAWK via its RS485-1 Interface to a BACnet MS/TP Bus
With regards to Fig. 32 through Fig. 34, please note the following:
NOTE: Always power each EAGLEHAWK controller and the connected BACnet MS/TP modules via separate transformers.
NOTE: For “L,” see section “RS485 Standard” on pg. 8.
NOTE: If any devices are not electrically isolated, signal ground connection is recommended. See section “RS485 Standard”
on pg. 8).
