Introduction Notes on this addendum manual Condair devices equipped with an Integrated Controller can be connected via the corresponding interface on the Integrated Controller (BACnet on-board) to a BACnet IP network or a BACnet MS/TP network. This manual describes how to install and configure BACnet on-board (see...
Functions overview The following table gives you an overview of the supported protocols and functions. BACnet on-board Integrated controller BACnet IP BACnet MS/TP Master Mode BACnet MS/TP Slave Mode BACnet IP and BACnet MS/TP BTL certified Remote "RS draining" BACnet Service COV (Change of Value) Please refer to the BACnet Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS, see chapter 4.2)
For safety and warranty reasons any action beyond the scope of this manual must be carried out only by qualified personnel authorised by the manufacturer. It is assumed that all persons working with the Condair Integrated Controller are familiar and comply with the appropriate local regulations on work safety and the prevention of accidents.

Safety reporting All persons working with the Condair Integrated Controller are obliged to report any alterations to the system that may affect safety to the owner without delay and to secure such systems against ac- cidental power-up. Prohibited modifications to the unit No modifications must be undertaken on the Condair Integrated Controller without the express writ- ten consent of the manufacturer.
Notes for the planning engineer 3.1.1 Overview The BACnet on-board functionality of the Integrated Controllers allows to connect Condair devices via the RJ45 Ethernet interface to a BACnet IP network or via the RS485 interface to a BACnet MS/TP network without further options.
3.1.2 Principle network diagrams 3.1.2.1 Principle BACnet network The principle diagram below shows the connection of the Condair Integrated Controller to a BACnet IP network. Principle BACnet IP network Ethernet (BACnet IP) CAT6A cable (or higher) with Integrated Controller RJ45 termination...

Principle BACnet MS/TP network The diagram below shows the connection of a Condair Integrated Controller to a BACnet MS/TP network. The diagram also shows an application an application encountered in practice: BACnet MS/TP com- municates with the higher-level BACnet IP via a router.
Wiring 1. Lead the network cable through a cable gland or the rectangular cable lead-through into the control unit. 2. Connect network cable according to the following wiring diagrams to the corresponding interface connector on the Integrated Controller. BACnet IP BACnet MS/TP –...
Configuration After network wiring connections have been completed, the Condair Integrated Controller needs to be setup to operate and communicate through BACnet IP or BACnet MS/TP with the building management system. This setup includes the settings in the "Communication" and the "Control Settings" submenu of the Condair Integrated Controller.

– Default Gateway: This field shows the actual IP address of the default gateway assigned manually or assigned by a DHCP server. If the parameter "IP Type" is set to "Fix", the IP address of the default gate- way can be set via this field. If the parameter "IP type" is set to "DHCP", the IP address of the default gateway is assigned by a DHCP server.

BACnet IP Settings The following settings appear only, if the parameter "BACnet" is set to "BACnet/IP". – Device Name: with this setting you determine the name of the device for the communication via the integrated BACnet interface. Note: The name assigned here is also assigned to the object name of the device object.

BACnet MS/TP Settings The following settings appear only, if the parameter "BACnet" is set to "MSTP". – MSTP Mode: with this setting you determine whether the device should act as Master or Slave. Factory setting: Master Options: Master or Slave –...
Note: If you want the Condair Integrated Controller to be controlled via a hardwired analog control signal set "Signal Source" to "Analog" and set the other control settings as required (see "Operation Manual"...

These types of controls do not report the detected humidity or temperature level or set point to the Condair Integrated Controller. As a result the set point and humidity/temperature levels cannot be monitored through the Condair Integrated Controller when using demand controls.
