  • Page 6: Mbs Universal Bacnet Router (Ubr)

    MBS Universal BACnet Router (UBR) MBS Universal BACnet Routers connect networks with different BACnet network technology, such as BACnet/IP, BACnet Ethernet and BACnet MS/ TP (BACnet - Building Automation and Control Networks). A typical area of application is the field of technical building service equipment. In the process, building control systems, DDC stations, field devices and room controllers, for instance, communicate via BACnet.
  • Page 7: Mbs Ubr Type Overview

    Security UBR-01 | Mk II UBR-02 Both MBS Universal BACnet Routers make it possible to implement BACnet network topologies ISO 8802-2 (BACnet/Ethernet), BACnet/IP and MS/TP (RS485-based serial BACnet networks). They are compatible with the MS/TP slave proxy functions "Auto-Slave Discovery" and "Manual-Slave-Proxy". That way, slave devices can be detected using Who-Is/I Am telegrams on the network.

    Start-up and operation To put the MBS UBR into operation and configure it, you need the following hardware and software: Power unit for the UBR • Computer • Installed web browser • Installed PDF reader • Network cable The MBS UBR provides an integrated web server for configuration.
  • Page 14: Ethernet Network Installation

    Ethernet network installation Connect the Ethernet network cable (RJ-45 port) to the MBS UBR. Use CAT5 UTP or STP cables (or equivalent). Avoid laying cables parallel to power lines, e.g. to motors, frequency converters etc. MS/TP network installation Connect the MS/TP or RS485 network to the MS/TP port (orange). Adhere to the instructions for connecting MS/TP or RS485 networks as per ASHRAE 135-2016 chapter 9.2 (BACnet standard).

    If the checkbox [Show on login] is activated, the information which has been entered here is displayed on the router's login page and on the configuration page General > Overview. Checkbox selected Checkbox not selected Important: To save the settings on the configuration pages, click on [Save]. An info dialogue then confirms the application of the entries.
  • Page 19 Network adapter LAN1 and LAN2 (LAN2 with UBR-02 only): For the Ethernet interfaces the IP address, network mask and standard gateway are configured (if required). The UBR-02 router has two Ethernet interfaces which can be configured independently of each other. Note: Note that broadcast messages are blocked when multiple IP subnetworks are connected to IP routers.

General > Update The router provides the option of a firmware update. You install new firmware version on the router on this configuration page. These updates may contain bugs fixes, improvements or new functions.
  • Page 25: General > Restart

    General > Restart Changes to the configuration, an import of a data backup or adjustment of the settings require the device to be restarted. Click on [Restart]. Before restarting, the router checks the configuration. If it is faulty, a message is displayed accordingly and you have the option of reworking the configuration.
  • Page 26 The router has two modes for restarting: • A restart of the communication software (standard) • Additional restart of the hardware and the operating system The advanced restart is the equivalent of a restart when the router is switched off and back on again Click on [Restart] again and confirm the information dialogues.

    Router mode, password for DCC/RD and network security (DDC/RD - device communication control/reinitialize device) Router mode: The MBS UBR routers can communicate both via Ethernet (BACnet IP) and via a two-wire RS485 connection (BACnet MS/TP). Whereas the UBR-01 router has one Ethernet and one RS485 (MS/TP) interface, the UBR-02 has two of each of these interfaces.
  • Page 28 DCC/RD password: Sets the password for the BACnet services device communication control and reinitialize device. Please note that the password is case sensitive. The maximum length is 50 characters. Network security (FOR UBR-02 ONLY): Activate the checkbox to prepare the router for secure communication. Two further checkboxes for BACnet network security settings are displayed.
  • Page 29 Network number: Defines the network number of the BACnet network for the datalink. The value is in a range from 1 to 65,534. Note: The network numbers of the configured datalinks must be unique! Network security policy: Defines the security setting for the communication link. If two devices are to be used to create a tunnel, identical settings must be made on both for "network security policy".
  • Page 30 The security setting for a communication link specifies the minimum required security for a communication: • Plain-Non-Trusted Unencrypted telegrams from a potentially unsafe source are accepted and routed – as long as the checkbox "Disable non trusted routing" is not checked.
  • Page 31 b) IP mode = BBMD The router provides BBMD functionality for its own IP subnet and work and allows logins of external FD or BBMD devices. Direct broadcasts to own ip network (one hop): This option is used to enable the use of "OneHop" mode for BBMD. This mode is seldom used in networks and should only be set if the network planner explicitly provides for this.
  • Page 32 IP filter: The following three filter settings are available from the drop-down list: • No active Filter – All devices are queried. • White Filter – Only devices in the network with these IP addresses are queried. • Black Filter – Devices other than those with these IP addresses are queried.
  • Page 33 You define the UDP port of the BBMD server as a decimal number. The default value is 47808 dec. (0xBAC0 hex.). Reregister interval: Time in seconds after which the router must newly register with the BBMD. B) Router mode = BACnet IP and/or MS/TP , link type = mstp For the mstp link type in the "Datalinks"...
  • Page 34 Serial interface: Defines the interface of the datalink. In the case of UBR-02 two RS485 interfaces are available. • COM1 • COM3 Baud rate: Speed of the MS/TP network suitable for the other MS/TP components in use. The value is stated in bit/s, possible values are: 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 76800 and 115200 baud.

    Network security policy: Defines the security setting for the communication link. LAN name: Defines the interface of the datalink. In the case of UBR-02 two ethernet interfaces are available. • LAN1 • LAN2 Note: After defining new link types the router has to be restarted so that the new configuration takes effect.
  • Page 37 Device name: Defines the device name of the router which has to be unique within the overall BACnet network. Description: Defines the BACnet description – a free descriptive text – of the router. Location: Defines the BACnet location – a free text for the installation location – of the router.

    APDU segment timeout: This value in milliseconds defines the period of time after which a segmented telegram that requires confirmation is deemed to have failed in the absence of segment confirmation. The default value is 2000 milliseconds. BACnet > Network Security (for UBR-02 ONLY) The encrypted tunnel between two UBR-02 routers can be activated via submenu item "Network Security".
  • Page 39 Security-PDU-timeout: Time in milliseconds in which a secure request frame must be answered (< APDU timeout) Update-keyset-timeout: Time in milliseconds in which a keyset must be transferred from the key server (> APDU timeout) Do-not-hide: The checkbox controls the reaction of the router to queries which are not successful due to security restrictions.
  • Page 40 Keysets: Two keysets are always to be configured with the revisions 1+2. You use the [+] button to add a new keyset. You use the editing button to edit or delete an existing keyset. If keysets have a validity period which expires, subsequent key sets must overlap in time by at least the number of "Security-Time-Window"...
