1. INTRODUCTION
ProtoNode is an external, high performance building
automation multi-protocol gateway that is configured to
allow communication between Raypak heating products
equipped with the VERSA IC® control platform to various
building automation protocols. These protocols include
BACnet MS/TP, BACnet/IP, Modbus TCP, Metasys N2,
and LonWorks.
• All Raypak products using VERSA IC control platform
support ProtoNode.
Through the ProtoNode Web GUI Configurator, the user
selects how many VERSA IC Master units are connected
to the ProtoNode as well as sets the Modbus Node-ID for
each VERSA IC Master. A Versa IC Master Unit can have
up to 169 Modbus points for up to 4 connected Versa IC
equipped units. Once the Raypak products are selected,
the ProtoNode Automatically builds and downloads the
Configuration for the desired protocol.
• The total number of VERSA IC Master units attached
to the ProtoNode RER (FPC-N34) cannot exceed 8
Master units or 1400 Modbus registers for BACnet
MS/TP, BACnet IP, Modbus TCP or Metasys N2.
• The total number of VERSA IC Master units attached
to the ProtoNode LER (FPC-N35) cannot exceed 6
Master units or 1000 Modbus registers for LonWorks.
This document provides the necessary information to
facilitate installation of the ProtoNode.
