FC BUS Terminal Block
An FC bus connects to BACnet MS/TP, Modbus, or N2
devices. Third party BACnet MS/TP or Modbus devic-
es can also be connected to the FC bus. Units shipped
with a BACnet IP card cannot support BACnet MS/TP,
Modbus, or N2 on the FC bus. Unplug the BACnet IP
card to support other protocols.
The FC bus terminal block is a removable, 4-terminal plug
that fits into a board-mounted jack. Wire the removable
FC bus terminal block plugs on the main control board
and other control boards in a daisy chain configuration
using a 3-wire twisted, shielded cable as shown in
for more information.

SA BUS Terminal Block
The SA bus connects to end point devices, such as
network thermostats and network sensors.
The SA bus terminal block is a removable, 4-terminal
plug that fits into a board-mounted jack. Wire the re-
movable SA bus terminal block plugs on the controller
and other SA bus devices in a daisy-chain configura-
tion using a 4-wire twisted, shielded cable as shown in
mation.
MS/TP Bus Cable Recommendations
The MS/TP bus supports much higher baud rates
than the N2 bus. Higher baud rates make the MS/
TP bus less fault tolerant and less immune to in-
terference from inductive noise sources that may
be present in the application environment.
Modbus Terminal Block
The Modbus connects to the burner control board and
the VFDs installed in the unit.
EQ BUS Terminal Block
The EQ bus connects to all installed control boards.
BACnet IP Terminal Block
The BACnet IP board is available as an option. ETH1
and ETH2 ports are available for daisy chaining from
a central Ethernet switch. Daisy chaining is not neces-
sary for Bacnet IP.
BACnet IP Cable Recommendations
Category 5 (Cat 5, Cat 5e, and Cat 6) cables
should be used for BACnet integration.
End of Line (EOL) Switch
The integral EOL switch must be set to ON, if the unit
is located at either end of each bus segment on a FC
bus.
Daisy-chained RS485-protocol networks typically re-
quire some type of EOL termination to reduce interfer-
ence caused by signal reflection that occurs when data
transmissions reach the end of a bus segment and
bounce back on the segment. The high baud rates on
MS/TP bus applications require robust EOL termina-
tion and strict adherence to the EOL termination rules.
Review EOL termination requirements for third party
MS/TP devices and network thermostats.
