® • LonTalk For information pertaining to the integration of the Symbio 700 controller using LonTalk communication, refer to the integration guides specific to those applications. Units of Measure The communicated data of the Symbio™ 700 controller can be changed from inch-pound (IP) to the international system (SI) if desired.
Communication Setup and Configuration Depending on the protocol and associated settings ordered from the factory, some changes may be required during equipment start-up. These can be made using the mobile app or onboard display protocol settings and/or IP settings in the Symbio™ controller. BAS-SVP085A-EN...
The Trane Symbio™ Service and Installation mobile app is required to setup, edit, and confirm the communication protocol and associated settings. The free download of Trane Symbio Service and Installation mobile app is available on the App Store® for iOS, and on Google Play® for Android™.

Protocol Configuration Figure 10. IP Configuration 2. Tap Edit. 3. Configure IP Address to either obtain the IP address automatically using DHCP or define a Static IP Address. If Static IP Address has been selected, manually enter the applicable IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway.
Air-Fi networks will be setup by a Trane technician. Integration to a Symbio™ 700 controller setup for Air-Fi communications uses BACnet over Zigbee communications through a Tracer SC+ system controller.
Protocol Configuration BACnet® IP or Modbus TCP If using BACnet/IP or Modbus TCP using a standard Ethernet cable, connect the Ethernet cable with RJ-45 connectors to the Ethernet port. Refer to the BACnet standard or BACnet® MS/TP Wiring and Link Performance Best Practices and Troubleshooting guide (BAS-SVX51*–EN) for detailed information on MS/TP wiring.

Appendix A: Arbitrations Standalone Control vs Enable External/BAS Control The Symbio™ 700 controller allows for two types of control: standalone control and external/BAS control. Standalone Control • The Arbitration Method Request point must be set to Standalone Control. • In Standalone Control, the Symbio™ 700 controller will ignore all BAS input and the only way to control the equipment is through the onboard display or local inputs.
Appendix A: Arbitrations Space Temperature Setpoint Single Setpoint Method The Space Temperature Single Setpoint Arbitration Method is used to determine the correct space temperature setpoint value when you have a single setpoint from various local inputs, wired or wireless, and the potential for a Building Automation System to communicate a value. There are two methods to determine the Space Temperature Setpoint Active when using a single setpoint.
Appendix A: Arbitrations Standalone Control 1. The Arbitration Method Request point must be set to Standalone Control. 2. The Symbio™ 700 controller will then look at available inputs and determine which one to use. a. If the Symbio™ 700 controller only has a valid wired sensor input it will use it to determine the active setpoint.
Page 23
Appendix A: Arbitrations d. If the Air-Fi sensor fails or loses communication the Symbio™ 700 controller will use the wired sensor to determine the active setpoint. If both the wired and Air-Fi sensors fail then the Symbio™ 700 controller will use the default setpoint to determine the active setpoint. e.
Appendix A: Arbitrations Space Temperature Setpoint Dual Setpoint Method The Space Temperature Dual Setpoint Arbitration Method is used to determine the correct space temperature setpoint value when you have a two setpoints from various local inputs, wired or wireless, and the potential for a Building Automation System to communicate two values. There are two methods to determine the Space Temperature Setpoint Active when using dual setpoints.
Appendix A: Arbitrations Standalone Control 1. The Arbitration Method Request point must be set to Standalone Control. 2. The Symbio™ 700 controller will then look at available inputs and determine which one to use. a. If the Symbio™ 700 controller only has a valid wired sensor input it will use it to determine the active setpoints.
Page 26
Appendix A: Arbitrations d. If the Air-Fi sensor fails or loses communication the Symbio™ 700 controller will use the wired sensor to determine the active setpoint. If both the wired and Air-Fi sensors fail then the Symbio™ 700 controller will use the default setpoint to determine the active setpoint. e.
Appendix A: Arbitrations The Occupancy Arbitration Method is used to determine the correct Occupancy Status value when you have local inputs, wired or wireless, and the potential for a Building Automation System to communicate a value. There are two methods to determine the Occupancy Status. The Symbio™ 700 controller will use the Arbitration Method Request point to determine the method, below is the breakdown of each step.
Appendix A: Arbitrations iii. The Building Automation System only needs to write to either the binary point OR the multistate point, not both. 3. After determining the correct input to use the Symbio™ 700 controller will write its decision to the Occupancy Input Active point.
Appendix A: Arbitrations 2. The Symbio™ 700 controller will then look at available inputs and determine which one to use. a. The Symbio™ 700 controller will use the wired input on the Symbio™ 700 controller to determine the active value if no Air-Fi sensor is configured. b.
Appendix A: Arbitrations The Setpoint Simple Arbitration Method is used to determine the correct setpoint value when you only have the potential for a Building Automation System to communicate a value. Occupied Standby Cooling Setpoint Occupied Standby Heating Setpoint Standalone Control 1.
Appendix A: Arbitrations Setpoint/Mode Complex Method The Setpoint/Mode Complex Arbitration Method is used to determine the correct setpoint value when you have local inputs, wired or wireless, and the potential for a Building Automation System to communicate a value. Demand Limit Standalone Control 1.
Page 33
Appendix A: Arbitrations c. In order for the Symbio™ 700 controller to use a communicated setpoint value from a Building Automation System a valid setpoint value must be written to the setpoint BAS point at a priority higher than 14. 3.
