CONTROL SYSTEM CONFIGURATION FOR BACNET
PoolPak
®
dehumidifiers equipped with CPCS can be directly connected to a BACnet/IP based Building Automation System
(BAS). Based on Carel’s pcoWeb serial card, the interface allows connection to an Ethernet network. 80 control points,
including all basic information and set points for the PoolPak dehumidification system, are available through the interface.
The BACnet configuration parameters for the controller are accessed in the configuration menu. To access this menu:
1. Press the program key (
) on the RIU or CM1 module
2. Scroll down to “Service” then press Enter (
).
3. Scroll up for the service password “0005”, then press Enter (
).
4. Scroll down to “Unit Config” then press Enter (
).
5. Scroll down for the advanced password of “9995”, then press Enter (
).
6. Use the arrow keys to scroll down to “BAS Interface”, then press Enter (
).
7. Press the Enter key
to move the cursor to different fields. Use the arrow keys to change the following parameters
as needed:
• TYPE
–
BACnet
– This is the type of BAS system connecting.
• BAUD RATE
–
19200
– Sets the baud rate for the onboard serial port. It must be set to 19200 for use with the
BACnet interface. 19200 is the factory default setting for this parameter. Note that this is the baud rate of the
internal serial interface between the BACnet board and the PoolComPak controller. The baud rate of the BACnet
MS/TP connection is set with a utility program from Carel. See the Interface Card Field Setup and Configuration
section of this document for more information.
• BAS Addr
–
001
– Sets the address of the BACnet interface card in the serial slot of the controller. It must be
set to 1 for proper operation of the BACnet interface. The factory default setting is 1. Note that this is the internal
serial address of the BACnet board. The station address for the BACnet MS/TP network is set with a utility program
from Carel. See the Interface Card Field Setup and Configuration section of this document for more information.
8. After changing any of the above parameters, reboot the controller by cycling power with the unit control power
switch. This switch is located within or adjacent to the main control panel of the dehumidifier.
