Quick Start Guide
• Auto-Discovery connection points are limited by available memory in the device.
• Auto-Discovery is not available in SSD mode required for BST (Boiler Sequencing
Technology) and WHM (Water Heater Management).
• BST and WHM are limited to eight (8) C-More connections.
• BST and WHM require a ProtoNode with all protocols, including Modbus.
INSTRUCTION
SECTION
1. Record the information about the unit.
2.1
2. Set the device’s Modbus RTU serial settings (i.e. baud rate, parity, stop bits)
and Modbus Node-ID for each of the devices that will be connected to
ProtoNode FPC-N34 or FPC-N35.
2.3
3. ProtoNode FPC-N34 units: Select the Field Protocol (BACnet MS/TP,
BACnet/IP, Modbus TCP/IP or Metasys N2) on the S Bank Dip Switches.
2.4.1
4. Enable the ProtoNode “Auto Discovery” mode on Dip Switch Bank S.
2.4.2
5. BACnet MS/TP (FPC-N34): Set the MAC Address on DIP Switch Bank A.
2.5.1
6. BACnet MS/TP or BACnet IP (FPC-N34): Set the BACnet Device Instance
2.5.2
7. Metasys N2, Modbus RTU, or Modbus TCP/IP (FPC-N34): Set the Node-ID.
2.5.3
8. BACnet MS/TP or Modbus RTU (FPC-N34): Set the BAUD rate of the Field
Protocol on DIP Switch Bank B.
2.5.4
9. Connect ProtoNode’s 6 pin RS-485 connector to the Modbus RS-485 network
that is connected to each of the devices.
3.2
10. Connect ProtoNode FPC-N34’s 3 pin RS-485 port to the Field Protocol
cabling,
or
Connect ProtoNode FPC-N35’s 2 pin LonWorks port to the Field Protocol
cabling.
3.3
3.4
11. Connect Power to ProtoNode’s 6 pin connector.
3.5
12. When power is applied it will take about 10 minutes for all the devices to be
discovered and the configuration file to be built. Once Auto-Discovery is
complete, turn OFF the S3 DIP Switch to save the configuration settings.
3.6
13. BACnet/IP or Modbus TCP/IP (FPC-N34): Use the ProtoNode’s embedded
tool which is accessed with a browser, referred to in this manual as the Web
Configurator, to change the IP Address. No changes to the configuration file
are necessary.
CHAPTER
4
14. LonWorks (FPC-N35): The ProtoNode must be commissioned on the
LonWorks Network. This needs to be done by the LonWorks administrator
using a LonWorks Commissioning tool.
