Setup Manual ® BACnet Protocol Gateway for TempTrac XR10CX Water Heater Control When a BAS interface with Temptrac or the XR10CX requires a protocol other than the standard Modbus RTU for Temptrac and XR10CX, PVI Industries offers a premapped gateway from FieldServer Technologies. The ProtoCessor ProtoNode RER currently supports BACnet IP or MSTP. Consult factory for other protocols. This manual is meant to be a general overview of the application of this gateway, for additional information please visit: www.protocessor.com or contact FieldServer Technologies at 800‐317‐8319 Email: sales@protocessor.com for technical assistance. The ProtoCessor ProtoNode can be user configured with the following specifics: IP address, serial address, baud rate and one of three register profiles. HARDWARE DISCRIPTION Voltage RS‐485 port for Host Ethernet port for selection or Field serial Diagnostics and Host or jumper protocol support Field Protocol support...

POWERING UP THE PROTOCESSOR/PROTONODE Power LED comes on and remains solid LA starts flashing about once per second. This tells us that PIC (Peripheral Interface Controller) number 1 in the ProtoCessor has powered up successfully. LB starts flashing about once per second. This tells us that PIC number 2 in the ProtoCessor has powered up successfully. GP105 will go on solid within 45 – 60 seconds after power up, signifying normal operation. ProtoCessor will be able to come up in RUINET shortly after this LED comes on. During the first 45‐60 seconds the LED should be dark. Upon successful operation of GP105 the ProtoCessor will go through diagnostics of the field port communications. The FFP‐ETH module is operational after this point. RX Field Port LED: On normal operation, the RX LED will flash when a message is received on the field port of the ProtoCessor. TX Field Port LED: On normal operation, the TX LED will flash when a message is sent on the field port of the ProtoCessor. RX TX ...

CONNECTION TO PROTOCESSOR USING UTILITIES Make sure that the FST Utilities is downloaded on the computer. (http://fieldserver.com/techsupport/utility/utility.php) Connect an Ethernet cross‐over cable between the PC and ProtoCessor or connect the ProtoCessor and the PC to the Hub/switch using a straight cat5 cable. The Default IP Address of the ProtoCessor is 192.168.1.24, Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0. If the PC and the ProtoCessor are on different IP Networks, assign a Static IP Address to the PC on the 192.168.1.0 network. Double click on the “RUIPING” Utility. If the IP Address of the ProtoCessor module appears on the screen, the ProtoCessor is running. PV500-43 PVI Industries, LLC P.O. Box 7124 Ft. Worth, TX 76111 1‐800‐433‐5654 Page | 5 7/10...

Double click on the debugging utility, “RUINET4” (Remote User Interface). The following screen will appear: See the “ProtoCessor Mapping” document to ensure that the device is set up correctly with respect to Baud rate, Node Address, and Points which are configured in the device. Select “O” for Connect Overview to see the number of messages on each protocol. If the ProtoCessor is communicating correctly with the device then the display will show Tx and Rx messages without any errors. If there are errors on the ProtoCessor socket communications, then the points list in the CSV file will require editing until there are no errors. Each time the points are edited, the CSV will need to be re‐downloaded using Ruinet. When communication between the device and the ProtoCessor is established the Field Side of the ProtoCessor may be connected to the appropriate device/software. Ensure that the Field Side parameters on the device/software are set up as per the “ProtoCessor Mapping” document. Read and Write data from each side and make sure the ProtoCessor works as expected.

TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS If PWR LED does not come on and LA and LB don’t flash, call or email ProtoCessor support support@ProtoCessor.com. If PWR LED does not come on but the LA and LB flash, then the PWR LED is broken. If LA and LB don’t start to flash there could be a problem with the ProtoCessor and you need to contact support@ProtoCessor.com. If GP105 never comes on then you need to contact ProtoCessor support. If TX and or RX don’t flash, it may represent a problem with the field wiring or Configuration problems in the ProtoCessor on field side or incorrect polling parameters (such as COMM properties like baud, parity, and etc). The Gateway is unable to find one or more controls in the RS485 network. The individual controls may not be programmed with the correct and unique node address. See the respective control manual for details. The Gateway has no communication with the controls in the RS485 network. Check the RS485 wiring for correct wiring method. See page 2 of this manual for details.
