MSA fieldserver ProtoNode FPC-N64 - Setup for Protonode; Record Identification Data; Point Count Capacity and Registers Per Device; Configuring Device Communications

2 Setup for ProtoNode
2.1 Record Identification Data
Each ProtoNode has a unique part number located on the side or the back of the unit. This number should be recorded, as it
may be required for technical support. The numbers are as follows:
Model Part Number
ProtoNode FPC-N64-2045
• FPC-N64 units have the following 4 ports: 2 Ethernet + RS-485 + RS-485/RS-232
2.2 Point Count Capacity and Registers per Device
The total number of registers presented the device(s) attached to the ProtoNode cannot exceed:
Part number Total Registers
FPC-N64-2045 1,500
Devices Point Count Per Device
Yaskawa 20
Mitsubishi 60
TRAK 24
2.3 Configuring Device Communications
2.3.1 Set Node-ID for Any Device Attached to the ProtoNode
• Set Node-ID for any device attached to ProtoNode. The Node-ID needs to be uniquely assigned between 1 and 255.
• Document the Node-ID that is assigned. The Node-ID assigned is used for deriving the Device Instance for BACnet/IP
and BACnet MS/TP. (Section 9.5 BACnet: Setting Node_Offset to Assign Specific Device Instances)
NOTE:The Metasys N2 field protocol Node-ID is automatically set to be the same value as the Node-ID of the
device.
2.3.2 Set IP Address for Any Ethernet Device Connected to the ProtoNode
• Ensure any device is set to Modbus TCP/IP to communicate with the ProtoNode.
• The device needs to be on the same IP subnet as the ProtoNode and the configuration PC.
• Record the following device information to start the setup:
◦ IP Address
◦ IP port
◦ TCP_ID
NOTE:This information is required for Section 9.3 Setting Active Profiles.
