3.4 LonWorks (FPC-N35): Wiring Field Port to LonWorks Network
•
Connect ProtoNode to the field network with the LonWorks terminal using a twisted
pair non-shielded cable. LonWorks has no polarity.

3.5 ACS/BMS II Wiring Connections to ProtoNode FPC-N34 and FPC-
N35
•
When an ACS, BMS OR BMS II is being used, an RS-485-to-RS-232 converter will be
required to connect it to the ProtoNode’s RS485 port (6-pin Phoenix connector).
•
Refer to Figures 3-8 and 3-9 to locate the internal RS-232 connector JP12 (BMS) or JP5
(BMS II/ACS) inside the wiring area of the ACS/BMS II.
•
If the AERCO RS232-to-RS485 Converter (part no. 124943) is used, the RS-232 side of the
converter contains a connector that plugs directly into header connector JP12 (BMS) or JP5
(BMS II/ACS).
•
If a third party converter is used, connect the RS-232 Receive (RxD) and Transmit (TxD)
wire leads to the internal RS-232 connector (JP12 or JP5) as shown in Figures 2-5 and 2-6.
DO NOT connect the wire shield on this side of the converter.
NOTE:
If a third-party RS232-to-
RS485 Converter is used, consult the manufacturer’s instruction
manual for signal polarity.
•
On the RS-485 side of the converter (Figure 3-8 and 3-9), connect the wire leads as follows:
o
Connect the TD
B (+) terminal to the ProtoNode’s RS485+ Port.
o
Connect the TD A (-
) terminal to the ProtoNode’s RS485- Port.
o
Connect the GND terminal to the ProtoNode’s RS485 Frame GND Port.
o
Place the ProtoNode’s termination jumper in the
ON
position.
