8.2.1 Connecting to the BMS
The embedded Unity software resides on the Vertiv™ Liebert® iCOM™ control board. There are two methods of connecting to
a BMS, via Ethernet or RS-485.
For a network connection, connect the Ethernet cable from the BMS to P74 on the Liebert® iCOM™ control board. 8.2.1 above
, shows the connector location.
For an RS-485 connection, connect the serial cable form the BMS to TB3 on the Liebert® iCOM™ control board. Pin1 is the
positive terminal on the right in on the facing page .
If the optional RS-485 expansion board is purchased, TB1 on the expansion board is used for BACnet MSTP or MODBUS RTU
and TB3 on the Liebert® iCOM™ board directly to a Sitelink/Sitescan system.
