2 BACNET/LONWORKS SETUP FOR PROTONODE RER/LER
2.1 Installation steps for the customer
1. Record the information about the unit. See Section 2.2
2. Configure each ENVI controller’s Modbus node address for each ENVI connected to the ProtoNode. The
first node must start at 1 and go up to 16; if you have a total of 16 ENVI’s connected to the ProtoNode.
See Appendix B.1
3. For Love Controller connected to the ProtoNode, the Modbus Node address must be set to 1. See
Appendix B.1
4. Set A, B, and S DIP Switch banks on ProtoNode for field protocol baud rate, Node-ID/Device Instance, and
proper configuration. See Section 2.3
5. Connect the ProtoNode to the Field protocol port (3 pin Phoenix connector) and the ENVI’s or Love
Controller’s RS-485 port to the ProtoNode’s RS-485 interface (located on the ProtoNode’s 6 pin
connector). See Section 3
6. Power up the ProtoNode RER and LER. See Section 3.6
7. Commission the ProtoNode on the LonWorks Network. This needs to be done by the LonWorks
administrator use a LonWorks Commissioning tool. See Section 4
8. If the Field protocol is BACnet/IP or Modbus TCP, refer to Section 4 to run the ProtoNode Web GUI to
change IP address. See Section 5
2.2 Record Identification Data
Each ProtoNode has a unique part number located on the underside of the unit. The numbers are as
follows:

Part number FPC-N34-103-126-0710:
o
Supports 1 through 16 ENVI boilers to BACnet/IP, BACnet MS/TP, Modbus TCP, and
Metasys N2.
o
Supports 1 Love controller to BACnet/IP, BACnet MS/TP, Modbus TCP, and Metasys N2.

Part number FPC-N35-103-401-0771:
o
Supports 1 through 13 ENVI boilers to LonWorks .
o
Supports 1 Love controller to LonWorks .
These part numbers should be recorded, as they may be required for technical support.
2.3 Configure the DIP Switches
2.3.1 Setting the Node/ID Device Instance (DIP Switch A0 – A7) for BACnet MS/TP,
BACnet/IP, and Metasys N2

The A Bank DIP switches on the ProtoNode RER allow users to set the Node-ID/Device Instance on the
Field RS-485.
