Overview Functional Goals of the Open Protocol for Unit Ventilators ™ The McQuay International Open Protocol for unit ventilators allows other automation integrators the ability to communicate to a network of unit ventilators and obtain useful operating information via communication "reads" from the controller. In addition, remote control of the unit ventilator is possible by "writes"...
Ventilator Ventilator The OPM provides a single communications port entry into the McQuay Unit Ventilator network. The OPM panel consists of an EnergyLine model 120 controller. The automation integrator connects to Comm port A, which will be pre configured for RS-232, 9600 baud. Port A is the automation control integrator's Open Protocol communications port.

Unit Ventilator Ventilator Once the McQuay communication network has been commissioned and is functional, the temperature control vendor can disconnect the monitor PC and connect a communicating device from the Building Automation System (BAS) Integrator's network. When the BAS Integrators communicating device is connected to the OPM panel the...
OPM - Open Protocol Master Panel Variables This is the only memory location that will be able to be read in the Open Protocol Master Panel. It is used to see if the OPM is powered, communicating, and the applications code is intact. Open Protocol Master Status 0400 This is the status of the OPM.
Configurations Heating and Cooling Types Unit Ventilators come in many configurations. They can be self contained or split. If they are split, the supply fan and coil section are floor mounted or ceiling mounted with the condenser section remotely mounted outside. The condenser section includes a compressor, condenser coil, fan and reversing valve.

Description of Operation Control Temperature Following is a general description of operation. A more detailed description of operation is included in the Installation and Maintenance manual. Note that the control temperature for Unit ventilator is continually calculated by the MicroTech controller during occupied mode using the following equation: Temperature Control Temp = 19/20 * (Room Temp) + 1/20 * (Discharge Air Temp)
Water or Steam Heat If there is hot water or steam heat, the heating valve or face & bypass dampers will be modulated to maintain the occupied heating setpoint (for 2 pipe units the entering water temperature must be above 80°F).
Damper Control If Outdoor Air Temperature 68 °F or over: Outdoor Air Dampers Closed Occupied Cooling Spt. Minimum Position Occupied Heating Spt. Outdoor Air Dampers Closed If Outdoor Air Temperature is under 68 °F: Occupied Cooling Spt. Outdoor Air Dampers Modulate Ventilation Spt Minimum Position Occupied Heating Spt.

Face & Bypass Damper Position or Valve Position Setpoint 041A This location contains the current Face & Bypass Damper or Valve Position Setpoint. To get the actual damper or valve position, take the values and multiply by 0.5. This will then give a value of 0-127.5 in .5% increments.

2. Connect the MicroTech communications cables. Start with the OPM port B. Connect (daisy chain) the comm. cables to the (2) unit ventilators. For RS-485 pinout connections for each model controller, see the McQuay International "Open Protocol Data Communications" document version 1.2 dated Feb. 24th, 1991.
