Leonard Valve ProtoCessor Start-up Guide CERTIFICATIONS BTL Mark – BACnet ® 1 Testing Laboratory The BTL Mark on ProtoCessor is a symbol that indicates that a product has passed a series of rigorous tests conducted by an independent laboratory which verifies that the product correctly implements the BACnet features claimed in the listing.
Leonard Valve ProtoCessor Start-up Guide INTRODUCTION ProtoCessor Gateway The ProtoCessor is an embedded module that is designed into Leonard Valve’s product (hereafter called “device”) and is preconfigured to support BACnet MS/TP, BACnet/IP, Metasys ®2 N2 by JCI, Modbus TCP/IP, Modbus RTU or EtherNet/IP. It is not necessary to download any configuration files to support the required applications.
Each ProtoCessor has a unique part number located on the side or the back of the unit. This number should be recorded, as it may be required for technical support. The numbers are as follows: Model Part Number ProtoCessor FPC-ED2 FPC-ED2-1145 Figure 1: ProtoCessor Part Numbers • FPC-ED2 units have the following 2 ports: RS-485 + Ethernet...
