Overview
Purpose
The purpose of this document is to provide instructions for integrating the Symbio™ 800700
controller into Non-Trane building automation systems. This document is targeted to system
integrators and controls contractors.
Symbio™™ 800700 Controller Overview
The Symbio™ 800700 controller has been installed, programmed, wired, commissioned, and
tested in the factory prior to shipment. While some sensors and end devices are normally wired
in the field, nearly all other wiring is factory-provided. Power for the controller is provided and
connected from within the RTU control panel.
The RTUunit and associated controller can be applied as standalone or as part of a building
automation system.
NNoottee:: For communicating applications to third-party control systems, network communication
wiring must be provided by others.
Communication Options
The Symbio 800 controller supports the following communication protocol options for
integration to either Trane or non-Trane control systems:
• BACnet TP
• BACnet Air-Fi
• BACnet IP
– Ethernet
– Wi-Fi
• Modbus RTU
• Modbus TCP
• LonTalk
For information pertaining to the integration of the Symbio 800 controller using either Modbus or
BACnet communication, refer to the integration guides specific to those applications.
Units of Measure
The communicated LonTalk data of the Symbio™ 700 controller will be passed in the factory-
configured units of measure, inch-pound (I-P) by default. The Symbio 700 mobile application
allows the user to change and customize the Data Display Units Preferences.
The communicated data of the Symbio™ 800 controller will be passed in the factory-configured
units of measure, either inch-pound (I-P) or the International System of Units (SI). The units of
measure are selected as part of the unit order (the default selection is normally I-P). Should the
units of measure need to be changed in the field, contact your local Trane representative.
The Symbio 800 controller provides a browser-based user interface for USB connection to the
controller. One of the tools provided with that interface allows the user to change and customize
the Data Display Units Preferences.
IImmppoorrttaanntt:: These adjustable settings are applied only to the units of measured displayed in the
web interface, not the communicated interface.
Regardless of the communicated (system) units of measure, the user may change the displayed
units of measure on their smart device. These user preference units of measure are independent
of the communicated units.
