What is tracking?
Tracking is an operation that finds devices connected to BACnet Gateway.
Through tracking operation, devices will be recognize if they are connected to BACnet
Gateway.
To supervise and control system air conditioner using BACnet Gateway, tracking should be
done first.
Things you can do through tracking
Checking the number of devices installed, setting communication mode for each channel,
DVM tracking, Renaming and setting ports is possible through tracking.
Execute tracking
(1) Connect DVM device to COM1~COM5.
(2) Set communication mode for each channel.
- Set proper communication mode which fits to the devices connected in step (1).
- Be aware that if communication mode is not properly set, the device may not be found
through tracking.
(3) Execute tracking - Execute DVM tracking.
- DVM tracking is an operation that finds system air conditioner devices such as
indoor/outdoor unit and watt-hour meter.
(4) Setting name for each device.
- You can set name for connected device. Set the names to help you recognize the location
of the device easily.
Communication mode setting for each channel
Roles
- It records what devices are connected to COM1~ COM5 of BACnet Gateway.
- Through tracking, BACnet Gateway searches proper devices that fits to user’s setting.
- Select proper communication mode which fits to connected device.
What is communication mode?
- You can connect an outdoor unit, centrailized controller, SIM interface module, Watt-hour
interface module and DDC devices to BACnet Gateway.
- BACnet Gateway can use only the device assigned for each COM port.
- Communicational devices by communication mode is as follows.
▶
IM mode: SIM/PIM which only supports conventional communication mode.
▶
NEW mode : OnOff controller and outdoor units which supports new communication
mode.
BACnet gateway will automatically assign the instance number of a device or object
according to the tracking result.
When the indoor unit address is changed by tracking, check the device information
again in the man machine interface (MMI) since the instance number can also be
changed.
