CHAPTER 6.
BACNET MS/TP AND BACNET/IP: SETTING
NODE_OFFSET TO ASSIGN SPECIFIC DEVICE INSTANCES
•
After setting your PC to be on the same subnet as the ProtoNode (Section 4.1 ), open
a web browser on your PC and enter the IP Address of the ProtoNode; the default
address is
192.168.1.24
.
•
If the IP Address of the ProtoNode has been changed by previous configuration, you
will need to get the assigned IP Address from the network administrator.
•
The Web Configurator will be displayed as your landing page (see Figure 6-1, below).
•
Node_Offset field will be presented displaying the current value (default = 50,000).
•
Change the value of Node_Offset to establish the desired Device Instance values, and
click the
Submit
button.
o
Given that: Node_ Modbus Node_ID = Device Instance
o
Then:
Node_Offset (required) = Device Instance (desired)
– Modbus
Node_ID
For example:
o
Device 1 has a Modbus Node-ID of 1
o
Device 2 has a Modbus Node-ID of 2
o
Device 3 has a Modbus Node-ID of 3
o
Desired Device Instance for 1
st
device = 1,001
o
Node_Offset (required) = 1,001
– (Modbus Node_ID) = 1,001 – 1 = 1,000
o
The Node_Offset value will be applied to all devices.
o
Device 1 Instance will then be = 1,000 + Modbus Node_ID = 1,000 + 1 = 1,001
o
Device 2 Instance will then be = 1,000 + Modbus Node_ID = 1,000 + 2 = 1,002
o
Device 3 Instance will then be = 1,000 + Modbus Node_ID = 1,000 + 3 = 1,003
NOTE:
For single Node Option, the Node-Offset + MAC Address = Device Instance. Therefore,
Node-Offset (required) = Device Instance (desired)
– MAC Address
