KMD–5210 Installation and Operation
Revision E 5
SECTION 1
About the LAN controller
This section provides a general introduction to the KMD-5210 LAN
Controller. It also introduces safety information. Review this
material in its entirety before installing or operating the controller.
Introduction
The KMD-5210 LAN Controller is a programmable, direct digital controller
used to facilitate high-level, peer-to-peer network communications for
facilities management purposes. The LAN Controller may be operated in a
stand alone configuration or as part of a fully networked digital system to
intelligently monitor and control HVACR equipment.
The KMD-5210 uses a token passing protocol in Tier 1 networks using an
Ethernet network to communicate with other LAN Controllers. The LAN
Controller also supports Tier 2 networks with two dedicated EIA–485 ports.
Up to 32 KMD-5210 controllers can be integrated into a single peer-to-peer
network, each supporting up to 124 nodes on a Tier 2 network.
The controller also supports remote access through a modem port and
provides two ports for direct connection with up to two PCs. The firmware in
the controller uses a high-level, easy-to-learn programming language to
ensure reliability, rapid programming, and compatibility with future KMC
system. This programming function is available from within the KMC
Controls WinControl application.
BACnet options
BACnet 802.3 The KMD-5210-001 adds BACnet functionality to the LAN
Controller. Through Control Basic statements the controller communicates
with 802.3 BACnet devices on the same Ethernet broadcast segment.
BACnet MS/TP The KMD-5210-002 adds BACnet MS/TP functionality to the
LAN Controller functionality. By using Control Basic programming, the
controller exchanges data with native BACnet devices on an MS/TP network.
