Maintain consistent polarity when connecting controllers and devices to the transformer, as
shown in
Typical Device BACnet MS/TP LAN and Power Wiring Diagram
on page 49. That is,
the 24V COM terminal of each controller and each peripheral must be connected to the same
terminal on the secondary side of the transformer. This transformer terminal must be con-
nected to the building's ground. This ensures that the reference terminals of all devices con-
nected to any BACnet MS/TP data bus in the building are at the same potential.
Most Distech Controls devices use the 24V COM terminal as the signal reference point for the
data bus (see
) for common device terminal labels). As a consequence,
you must wire the power supply (for any given number of devices) as shown in
, such
that the transformer's secondary that is connected to 24V COM / C terminals is connected to
the building's ground at the power supply. This ensures that the 24V COM /C terminals of all
devices connected to any BACnet MS/TP data bus in the building are at the same electrical
potential.
Figure 28: Power Wiring diagram
As specified by electrical safety codes worldwide, the building's protective ground
network must not be used to conduct electrical current under normal conditions.
Such current can lift the reference voltage sensed at a controller's 24V COM termi-
nal, thus resulting in data transmission errors.
A mechanical ground is unacceptable: Do not use a pipe, conduit, or duct work for
a ground. The power supply must have a dedicated ground wire that comes from
the main electrical supply panel.
Any connection between buildings cannot be made with BACnet MS/TP. For inter-
building connections, it is recommended to use a BACnet/IP or FOX network con-
nection. See
Inter-Building BACnet Connection
on page 39.
