INSTALLATION OVERVIEW
The BACnet Interface Module is provided as a single module mounted inside the standard
ARIES NETLink remote enclosure. The single module supports systems with up to 4 Signaling
Line Circuits (SLCs). For systems including more than 4 SLCs, a second (Add-On) module is
required.
The enclosure includes conduit knockouts for Ethernet or RS485 output cables and connections
from the ARIES NETLink to the module(s) for both 24VDC power and RS232 data lines. The
single module configuration is shipped from the factory already mounted on standoffs inside
the enclosure with internal wiring completed.
Module requires mounting, wiring and setting a dip switch on the Add-On Module to the "ON"
position.
Installation is accomplished by:
•
Mounting the enclosure
•
Connecting power from control unit to BACnet Interface Module
•
Verifying grounding to Earth Ground stud
•
Connecting RS232 communications from control unit to BACnet Interface Module
•
Connecting BACnet Interface Module to either a BACnet/IP or BACnet MS/TP network
•
Setting "B Bank" DIP switches on BACnet Interface Module to match baud rate of MS/TP
network
•
Installing an Add-On Module, if required
•
Connecting power, grounding and RS232 cables to Add-On module (if included) and setting
Switch S0 to the "ON" position
•
Connecting Add-On Module (if included) to either a BACnet/IP or BACnet MS/TP networK
•
Setting "B Bank" DIP switches on Add-on Module to match baud rate of MS/TP network
•
Enabling the use of Modbus on the selected RS232 port(s) and setting the port's Modbus ID
•
Startup and configuration using the downloaded third-party software (PC or web-based)
