BMS Network Settings: MAC Address, Device Instance and Baud Rate
3.5.1 BACnet MS/TP (FPC-N34): Setting the MAC Address for BMS Network
Only 1 MAC address is set for ProtoNode regardless of how many devices are connected to
ProtoNode.
Set the BACnet MS/TP MAC address of the ProtoNode to a value between 1 to 127 (Master MAC
address); this is so that the BMS Front End can find ProtoNode via BACnet auto discovery.
NOTE:
Never set a BACnet MS/TP MAC Address of the ProtoNode to a value from 128 to 255
.
Addresses from 128 to 255 are Slave Addresses and can not be discovered by BMS Front Ends
that support Auto-Discovery of BACnet MS/TP devices.
Set “A” bank DIP switches A0 – A7 to assign a MAC Address to the ProtoNode for BACnet
MS/TP.
Refer to
for the complete range of MAC Addresses and DIP switch settings.
NOTE:
When using Metasys N2 and Modbus TCP/IP, the A Bank of DIP switches are disabled and
not used. They should be set to OFF
.
