Installation & Application Guide
Product Description
The Delta Field Modules are small expansion I/O boards
that provide remotely expandable I/O to Delta's BACnet
Controllers. The DFM-400P Pulse Input Field Module
provides four pulsed inputs and communicates directly on
a BACnet RS-485 MS/TP network where it functions as an
independent BACnet device and the pulse counter values
and PI objects are accessible over the MS/TP network.
Ideal for electrical, water, gas, and various flow meters,
the DFM-400P has four pulse inputs. Two inputs support
pulses from 0 to 200 Hz and the other two inputs support
pulses from 0 to 2000 Hz.
Any additional strategies associated with the pulse
counter values are typically programmed in GCL in other
controllers on the network.

Summary of Contents for Delta DFM-400P

  • Page 1: Table Of Contents

    PI objects are accessible over the MS/TP network. Ideal for electrical, water, gas, and various flow meters, the DFM-400P has four pulse inputs. Two inputs support pulses from 0 to 200 Hz and the other two inputs support pulses from 0 to 2000 Hz.
  • Page 2: Model Numbers

    Pulse Input Field Modules may only be installed on a BACnet RS-485 MS/TP network. However, since the PI object is proprietary to Delta Controls, third party vendors may not be able to access these objects. To better accommodate multi-vendor integration the pulse count values and other properties are mapped Application Notes into internal AV objects.

    DFM-400P Rev 2.1 Installation and Appplication Guide Edition 1.6 Mounting The DFM-400P includes a plastic enclosure that can be mounted quickly and easily with two screws in an appropriate location, or within another enclosure (to meet code requirements). The Rev 1.2 DFM-400P enclosure can be snapped into a 35mm DIN rail.

    Typically this assumes that there is one other device configured as a System level device on the network. 2. Pulse Input Field Modules Configured as LINKnet Devices Not applicable for the DFM-400P Field Module, as it can only be connected to a BACnet RS-485 MS/TP network. Network Communications Setup On an MS/TP network the Pulse Input Field Module communicates at a default speed of 76,800 bps, but V3.22 OCRAview...

    DFM-400P Rev 2.1 Installation and Appplication Guide Edition 1.6 Application Notes Objects The following is a list of predefined or “fixed” objects that reside in the Pulse Input Field Module, which you cannot create or delete. When connected to a BACnet RS-485 MS/TP network, these objects are readily accessible over the network.
  • Page 10 This means that time is only kept while the module is running, but is very accurate. Time is lost whenever power is cycled on the device, and will be initialized to ‘Delta default time’. Time will of course be updated over the network from a device that is configured as a Time Master.
