1. Description

The BACnet MS/TP module with 8 individually configurable
resistance or voltage input s is designed for local s witching
operations. It is suitable to record resistance or voltage values of for
example passive and active temperature sensors electric al
ventilation or mixing valves, valve positions etc. The inputs are
univer sally configurable by standard object via a BACnet-Client.
Addressing of the module and baud rate set ting are done with the
two address switches (x1 / x10) on the front. Possible settings are
addresses 00 to F9 and baud rates 9600 Bd, 19200 Bd, 384 00 Bd,
57600, 7680 0 Bd and 115200 Bd.

6. Mounting

Power down the equipment

Mount the module on standard rail ( TH35 per IEC 60715 in
junction boxes and/or on distribution panels).

Installation
Electric installation and device termination shall be done by qua­lifie d pers ons only, by respe cting all applicable
specifications and regulations.

The module can be aligned without inter space. Use the jumper
plug to connect bus and supply voltage when the modules are
mounted in series.

The max imum qua ntity of modules connecte d in line is limited
to 15 or to a maximum powe r consumption of 2 A mps (AC o r
DC) pe r conne ction to the power suppl y. For any similar block
of additional mo dules a s eparate conne ction to the pow er
supply is mandatory.

7. Network adress and Bit rate setting

Configuration Switches
Hexadecimal Switches x10, x1 define the Network Address
(00 - F9; e.g. F9h = 15x16+9 = 249d) and Baud rate (FA – FF).

• Turn Switch x10 to E (Device is temporaryly configured as Slave)

• Turn Switch x1 to A – F to select Baud rate

• Turn Switch x10 to F, wait 1 second

• Red and green LEDs are blinking when Baud rate ist stored in
EEPROM

• Turn Switch x10 to select Network Address

• Turn Switch x1 to select Network Address

MS/ TP Master if using Network Address 0 x00 … Max_Master,
MS/ TP Slave if using Network Address Max_Master + 1 … 0xF9.
