Description
A MicroTech II® BACnet® MS/TP Communication Module incorporates a MicroTech II rooftop or self-contained unit
controller into a BACnet MS/TP Local Area Network (LAN). It supports the BACnet MS/TP (EIA 485) data link layer
(physical layer.) It is the interface to the Building Automation Network using BACnet objects.
The BACnet MS/TP Communication Module is a printed circuit board that plugs onto the MicroTech II unit controller’s
main control board. Figure 1 shows an outline drawing of the BACnet MS/TP Communication Module.
