Installation Steps for the Customer The following chart describes S0 - S3 DIP switch configuration settings for the Raypak products to support BACnet MS/TP or BACnet/IP on a ProtoNode RER (Part # FPC-N34-0636). • When the S bank of switches are all off (default setting) BACnet IP is enabled.
The rate on the ProtoNode for Metasys is set for 9600. DIP Switches B0 – B3 are disabled for Metasys ProtoNode. N2 on ProtoNode RER (FPC-N34). • Addresses from 128 to 255 are Slave Addresses and cannot be discovered by BMS Front Ends that support auto discovery of BACnet MS/TP devices.
Wiring the ProtoNode RER to RS-485 Field Protocol (BACnet MS/TP or Metasys N2) • Connect BMS BACnet MS/TP or Metasys N2 RS485 port to the 3-pin RS485 connector on ProtoNode RER as shown below. BMS RS-485 Wiring ProtoNode Pin #...
4. CONNECT TO THE PROTONODE’S WEB CONFIGURATOR TO SETUP THE RAYPAK PRODUCTS (PROFILES) CONNECTED TO THE PROTONODE RER OR LER Connect the PC to the ProtoNode via the Ethernet port For BACnet IP only. For all others, use RS485 connection.
APPROVED Configure Profiles in the ProtoNode’s Web Configurator • Open PC web browser; enter the default IP address of the ProtoNode 192.168.1.24. • When the S bank of DIP switches are set for BACnet you will see all the Raypak Profiles supporting BACnet listed in the Configurator.

APPROVED Changing BN_Node_Offset via the ProtoNode’s Web Configurator • The BACnet Device Instance is equal to the Modbus Node ID plus the BN_Node_Offset. • To change the BN_Node_offset, enter the new values for the offset in web configurator. • And click to update new values.
APPROVED 5. COMMISSIONING THE • Select and enter a static IP Address on the same subnet. For example. PROTONODE LER ON A LONWORKS NETWORK Commissioning may only be performed by the LonWorks administrator. Commissioning the ProtoNode • Click the OK button to close the Internet Protocol LER on a LonWorks network window and the Close button to close the Ethernet Properties window.
APPROVED 6. CHIPKIN AUTOMATION’S CAS BACNET EXPLORER FOR VALIDATING THE PROTONODE IN THE FIELD Chipkin Automation has extended to Raypak and their customers a free complementary 2 week fully functional copy of CAS BACnet Explorer that can be used to validate BACnet MS/TP and/or BACnet/IP communications of the ProtoNode in the field without having to have the BMS Integrator on site.
3. In CAS Explorer, do the following: the following methods: a. Click on settings. o Open the FieldServer FS-GUI page and click on b. Check the BACnet IP box and uncheck the Diagnostics in the Navigation panel. BACnet MSTP and BACnet Ethernet boxes.
