BACNET COMMUNICATION FEATURES

The MPC Platinum BAC (with BACnet IP and BACnet MSTP connections) has many features and benefits.
• Boiler and Sensor status, values, and settings. Provides "Live" status and editing capability of Platinum control settings and values
from the BACnet network.
• The Data collected can be used to create a historical log, and trigger alarms.

BACNET COMMUNICATION

(Requires BACnet Communication Package)
SELECT: MENU/<Settings>/<More Settings>/<Remote Interface>/Network Settings
• Before connecting the Platinum control to the BACnet network, the user must set the
following parameters according to the BACnet Network Administrator's instructions.
MODBUS capable Platinum controls will display --NETWORK PANEL--
on the 2nd row of the display when in screen saver mode

SELECTING BACNET IP OR BACNET MSTP

SELECT: MENU/.../ Network Settings/Switch to IP or MSTP
• The same Platinum control can operate within a BACnet IP or BACnet MSTP network.
• To switch to BACnet IP from the MSTP menu, select the Switch to IP option.
• To switch to BACnet MSTP from the IP menu, select the Switch to MS/TP option.
BACNET IP CONFIGURATION
• Any Heat-Timer Platinum control can come as or be upgraded to communicate over a
BACnet IP network either directly or through a gateway with the BACnet IP driver.
• Using a gateway is beneficial when communicating to a proprietary protocol EMS/BMS
system. The gateway must have both drivers, the BACnet IP or MSTP and the proprietary
protocol.

BACNET DEVICE ID

• This is a 32 bit unique number within the BACnet network. It identifies the Platinum
control within the BACnet network. The BACnet Network Administrator must provide that
information.

IP AND MASk ADDRESSES

• The Platinum control IP address must be unique within the IP network.
• The Network Administrator needs to provide both of the IP and Mask addresses.
• Leaving the IP and Mask Addresses blank or 000.000.000.000 enables a DHCP server to
assign the addresses.
• If no DHCP server is active, the control must use a static IP and Mask. Enter the IP address
in the IP field and the Mask in the Msk field. After dialing each octet , press the ADJUST/
SELECT button to accept and move on to the next octet.
BACNET MSTP CONFIGURATION
• Any Heat-Timer Platinum control can come as or be upgraded to communicate over a
BACnet MSTP network either directly or through a gateway with the BACnet MSTP driver.
• Using a gateway is beneficial when communicating to a proprietary protocol EMS/BMS
system. The gateway must have both drivers, the BACnet IP or MSTP and the proprietary
protocol.
BACNET DEVICE ID
