MBS Universal BACnet Routers connect networks with dierent BACnet
network technology, such as BACnet/IP, BACnet Ethernet and BACnet MS/
TP (BACnet - Building Automation and Control Networks). A typical area
of application is the field of technical building service equipment. In the
process, building control systems, DDC stations, field devices and room
controllers, for instance, communicate via BACnet. BACnet objects can thus
be transferred between dierent types of BACnet networks.

BACnet Network
Security

UBR-01 | Mk II 1 x

UBR-02 2 x x

Both MBS Universal BACnet Routers make it possible to implement BACnet
network topologies ISO 8802-2 (BACnet/Ethernet), BACnet/IP and MS/TP
(RS485-based serial BACnet networks). They are compatible with the MS/TP
slave proxy functions "Auto-Slave Discovery" and "Manual-Slave-Proxy". That
way, slave devices can be detected using
Who-Is/I Am telegrams on the network.

You use the integrated web interface to configure the routers, save the
configuration and call up documentation.

The UBR-01 | Mk II is equipped with an Ethernet port and is used as the base
device.

The UBR-02 has two Ethernet ports for connecting two separate IP ranges
and two RS485 ports for the BACnet MS/TP bus. The UBR-02 also supports
the tunnelling protocol of the BACnet NetworkSecurity layer.

Routing options

Connecting an MS/TP to a BACnet IP network

Routing encrypted packages between BACnet networks (UBR-02)

Establishing an encrypted communication link between two BACnet
networks in conjunction with a second UBR-02

Chapter 2 MBS Universal BACnet Router (UBR)

Connecting two IP networks (UBR-02)

Standalone BBMD (BACnet Broadcast Management Device)

The routers can function as BBMDs in BACnet networks. In the process the
BBMD functionality is used to transport broadcast messages via network
boundaries (IP switches) and to provide availability in the other subnetwork.
Without the use of BBMDs broadcast messages are not be transmitted via an
IP router. The connection of a foreign device (FD) is supported in BBMD mode.

Further characteristics of the MBS Universal BACnet Routers

BACnet Protocol Revision

Conformity with BACnet version 1 protocol revision 14

Diagnosis

Comprehensive diagnostics options to make a start-up easier and to monitor
the function in operation

FD – foreign device

Registration of the router as a foreign device when there is a BBMD in the
network.As a result, the router becomes part of the BACnet/IP network and
receives broadcast messages from other subnetworks.

BBMD IP filter

The BBMD-IP filter function makes it possible to control from which devices
broadcasts are forwarded using the BBMD functionality from the IP subnet.
Individual devices can be excluded using the filters to prevent broadcasts
from these devices being transported over the boundaries of the IP subnet.

BACnet MS/TP

The routers operate as masters on the MS/TP bus. Compatible with the
following speeds: 9600 baud, 19200 baud, 38400 baud, 57600 baud, 76800
baud, 115200 baud.

The bus terminating resistor and the network bias resistors are activated by
the DIP switch. The RS485 interface (BACnetMS/TP) is potential-free.

Chapter 2 MBS Universal BACnet Router (UBR)

Slave proxy

Configuring the router as "slave proxy":
Response on behalf of connected MS/TP slave devices to "who is" enquiries
with an "I am" message.

The slave proxy option makes it possible for other BACnet devices to find the
connected MS/TP slave devices on the network without the slave addresses
in each device to be configured individually. The routers can be configured
both manually and automatically.

Start-up and operation

To put the MBS UBR into operation and configure it, you need the following
hardware and software:

Power unit for the UBR

• Computer

• Installed web browser

• Installed PDF reader

• Network cable

The MBS UBR provides an integrated web server for configuration.
Chapter 4.2.1 describes the steps required to access the web server.

The user handbook is also available as a PDF file in the Help directory on the
web server. The handbook can be displayed and printed out as necessary
with a PDF reader.

Hardware installation

Assembly

The router has a mount at the rear for easy installation on top of hat rails
as per EN 60715. Install the router in the electrical cabinet and make sure
that there is sucient ventilation to ensure the specified temperature range
(0…45 °C).

Electrical installation

Connect the MBS UBR to the green, two-pole port with a power supply as
per the technical specifications. An international power supply is optionally
available if required.

Chapter 4 Start-up and operation

14

Ethernet network installation

Connect the Ethernet network cable (RJ-45 port) to the MBS UBR. Use CAT5
UTP or STP cables (or equivalent). Avoid laying cables parallel to power lines,
e.g. to motors, frequency converters etc.

MS/TP network installation

Connect the MS/TP or RS485 network to the MS/TP port (orange). Adhere
to the instructions for connecting MS/TP or RS485 networks as per ASHRAE
135-2016 chapter 9.2 (BACnet standard). Use the DIP switches to activate the
network bias and the terminating resistor.

Configuring the router using the web interface

Opening the web interface

The router has an integrated web server for configuration. You use the web
interface to configure the IP, BACnet and other settings, and you save the
changes with [Save]. Following changes to the network configuration it is
sometimes necessary to restart the router.

With the factory settings the web server is accessible at the following IP
address:

• IP address: 169.254.0.1

• Network mask: 255.255.0.0

Connect the MBS UBR to your PC with the network cable for configuration.
Enter the IP address of the UBR web server in a web browser:
http:// 169.254.0.1.

Note:

Note that your computer's LAN connection has to be set appropriately.
Have the IP address, for example, set automatically with the DHCP
server activated. For a manual setting define the IP address as

169.254.0.2, for example. The network mask remains at 255.255.0.0.

Chapter 4 Start-up and operation

Attention:

The guarantee will become null and void if the MBS UBR is connected
to an unsuitable power supply or the casing is opened. There are no
controls inside the casing. Do not establish a connection with the
BACnet network before the MBS UBR has been fully configured.

Logging on to the web server

Enter the following user name and password (preconfigured administrator
access) to sign in to the web server:

• Username: admin

• Password: admin

You can change the access data using the configuration pages.

Chapter 4 Start-up and operation

Web server language

The router provides the website in both German and English. You switch the
language in the web interface using the respective flag symbols at the top
right.

The web interface contains the following menu areas for configuration of the
router:

• GENERAL

• BACNET

• DIAGNOSIS

• HELP

Each menu area includes submenus in the left-hand column which you use to
call up the individual configuration pages/views.

"General" area

General > overview

After logging in, the router loads an overview page for the device.
You can use [Refresh] to refresh the displayed information.

Chapter 4 Start-up and operation

17

General > information

Information on the device name, the installation location, a description and
contact details can be stored in the router. This information is used in order
to identify the respective router better in the network. Edit the input fields for
this purpose.

An image can be stored for each contact as required (e.g. photo, company
logo etc.). To add a new image or replace an existing image, click on the
placeholder with the bold border or on the existing image. The company
logo dialogue opens. This is where you select the desired image or delete an
existing image.
