Commissioning the RTU-MP for LonWorks communication
Before a device can communicate on a LonWorks network, it must be commissioned. Commissioning allows
the system integrator to associate the device hardware with the LonWorks system's network layout diagram.
This is done using the device's unique Neuron ID.
A network management tool such as Echelon's LonMaker is used to commission each device, as well as to
assign addressing. Specific instructions regarding the commissioning of LonWorks devices should be
obtained from documentation supplied with the LonWorks Network Management Tool.
When a new device is first commissioned onto the LonWorks network, the system integrator must upload the
device's External Interface File (XIF) information. LonWorks uses the XIF to determine the points (network
variables) that are available from a device. The RTU-MP has a set of predefined network variables. These
variables can be bound or accessed by the network management tool.
NOTE Contact your local Carrier representative for a copy of the .XIF file.
The Browse feature of the Network Management Tool also allows you to read real-time values from the RTU-
MP. The Network Management Tool allows you to test integration prior to binding the RTU-MP's network
variables to other LonWorks nodes.
Local Access
BACview6 Handheld
The BACview6 Handheld (BV6H) is a keypad/display interface used to connect to the RTU-MP to access the
control information, read sensor values, and test the RTU-MP. This is an accessory interface that does not
come with the RTU-MP and can only be used at the unit.
Connect the BACview6 to the RTU-MP's J12 local access port.
There are 2 password-protected levels in the display (User and Admin).
•
The User password is defaulted to 0000 but can be changed.
•
The Admin password is 1111 and cannot be changed.
NOTES
To adjust the contrast of the display, turn the contrast screw on top of the BACview6 clockwise to
○
lighten the display or counterclockwise to darken it.
There is a 10 minute auto logout if a screen is left idle.
