BACnet and LONworks Protocol Gateway for OnTrac®,
TempTrac® and XR Boiler Control
When a BAS interface with OnTrac, TempTrac or the XR requires a protocol other than the standard
Modbus TCP/IP for OnTrac or Modbus RTU for TempTrac and XR, Riverside Hydronics offers a
premapped gateway from FieldServer Technologies. The ProtoNode currently supports BACnet MSTP,
BACnet IP, and Lonworks. Consult factory for other protocols.
This manual is meant to be a general overview of the application of this gateway, for additional
information specific to the Protocessor product, please visit: www.protocessor.com or contact FieldServer
Technologies at 800-317-8319 Email: sales@protocessor.com for technical assistance.

The default ProtoNode IP address may not fit within the existing network address pool. The following
CONNECTION TO PROTONODE USING UTILITIES
instructions describe the utilities used for changing the ProtoNode IP address. If interfacing with an
OnTrac, you may need to edit the profile in the ProtoNode to include the OnTrac’s IP address, this is
explained in detail in the supplement document 34-525C-1 and 34-525C-2. The OnTrac IP setting
procedure is explained in the OnTrac manual 34-152. Utilities for configuring the ProtoNode are available
from Fieldserver’s website. Make sure that the Fieldserver Utilities are downloaded and installed on your
computer.
( http://www.fieldserver.com/docs/downloads/Install.zip )
Connect an Ethernet cross-over cable between the PC and ProtoCessor or connect the ProtoCessor and
the PC to a Hub/switch using straight through patch cables.
The Default IP Address of the ProtoNode IP address is 192.168.1.24, Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0.
If the PC and the ProtoNode are on different IP Networks, assign a Static IP Address to the PC on the
same network. Example, with the default settings of the gateway on 192.168.1.24, the network is
192.168.1.XXX then 192.168.1.8 will be a valid IP address for your computer. Instructions on how to
change the IP address of your computer is beyond the scope of this manual.
Launch: FieldServer Utilities > Ping Utility ("C:\FieldServer Technologies\FieldServer Utilities\Bin\ruiping.exe"). If the IP
Address of the ProtoNode module appears on the screen, the ProtoNode is running.
You can exit this program by hitting ESC key.
The next program “Remote User Interface” is used to change the IP address of the gateway, view
communication between the devices, and update the configuration files of the gateway.

Launch: FieldServer Utilities > Remote User Interface ("C:\FieldServer Technologies\FieldServer Utilities\Bin\ruinet.exe").
CONNECTION TO PROTONODE USING UTILITIES
The following screen will appear if it can connect to the gateway:
CHANGE IP ADDRESS: Option “I” will allow changing the IP address of the Gateway.
VIEW COMMUNICATION: Select “O” from the main menu screen for Connect Overview to see the
number of messages on each protocol. If the ProtoNode gateway is communicating correctly with the
device then the display will show Tx and Rx messages without any errors. Below SMT is the
communication of your computer with the gateway, and can be disregarded. Modbus RTU is
communication directly to a TempTrac, not used in this example. Modbus/TCP is the communication to
the OnTrac boiler group control. BACnet_MSTP is the BAS talking to the gateway. In this example, the
BAS is not using the BACnet_IP interface.

BACK UP GATEWAY FILES: It is highly recommended to back up the configuration files before
CONNECTION TO PROTONODE USING UTILITIES
performing any update or editing of the configuration. In order to back up the configuration files stored on
the gateway, perform the following steps.
Clear or move any files from the Field Server Configuration files folder. There is a short cut to this
in the program group: FieldServer Utilities > Config ("C:\FieldServer Technologies\FieldServer
Utilities\Config”).
From the main menu hit U (Upload Configuration file from Field Server).
Hit U to upload the default CONFIG.CSV to your computer.
Once that is complete, you will need to enable the “Other Filenames” option by hitting the “O” in
the Upload menu.
Once this is done, perform the following for each file PROF1.CSV, PROF2.CSV, PROF3.CSV
From the Upload menu, Hit ”R” and then type the file name PROF1.CSV and hit Enter.
Hit “L” and type the same name again and hit Enter.
Hit “U” to upload the file to your computer. It will be located in the previously mentioned CONFIG
folder.
Once this has been done for all the files, back up the files in your CONFIG folder in case you
need to revert back to the original files.
UPDATE CONFIGURATION FILES ON GATEWAY: Once the files have been backed up and save to a
safe place, you can then place the new files, or edited old file in the CONFIG folder for transfer to the
gateway.
Clear any old program from the CONFIG folder, and place the files that are to be transferred to
the gateway in this folder.
From the main menu, hit “D” (Download Configuration file to Field Server).
From this menu, if you are uploading the CONFIG.CSV file, simply hit the “D” key again.
To transfer any of the other files, you will need to enable the “Other Filenames” option by hitting
the “O” in the Download Menu.
To transfer the PROF1.CSV file from the CONFIG directory on your laptop to the gateway:
From the Upload menu, hit “L” and type PROF1.CSV and hit Enter.
Hit “R” and type the same name again and hit Enter.
Hit “D” to Download to the Gateway.
Once all files that are required have been transferred to the gateway, get back to the main menu by
hitting ESC, from the main menu, hit “!” to reboot the gateway (or remove power from gateway). It will
take a couple of minutes to reboot. Once it has finished, from the main menu, hit “E” to see if there are
any errors after loading the new configuration files.
The default IP for the OnTrac is 192.168.1.100 and the Default for the gateway is 192.168.1.24. If the
building IP network require different IP addresses, it is necessary to change both the Protonode
PROF1.CSV client configuration for the OnTrac and the OnTrac IP. This topic is covered in detail in the
34-525C-1 BACnet document, and the 34-525C-2 LONworks Document. See the OnTrac manual
Document 34-152 for instructions on changing the OnTrac IP address.

In order to set up the network communication system, each water heater’s TempTrac control must be
1. On the face of the TempTrac control, enter the programming mode by pressing and
holding the “set” and “down arrow” keys together for 3 seconds.
ASSIGNING TEMPTRAC ADDRESSES
Adr

assigned an address. In installations with multiple TempTrac controls, a different address must be
assigned to each TempTrac.
The following instructions are specific to the TempTrac®. If your water heater uses a different control
refer to the programming instruction for that control to set the address.
2. The upper LED readout should read “St1” with a numeral (the St1 setting) appearing in the lower LED
readout.
IMPORTANT: If the lower readout indicates “Pof”, the TempTrac control is locked for programming. To
unlock the control, press and hold the “up arrow” and “down arrow” keys together until the lower LED
readout indicates “Pon”. The TempTrac control is now unlocked. Repeat step 1 to proceed with
assigning the TempTrac address.
3. Press the “down arrow” key.
4. “Pr2” will appear in the upper LED readout and “Pas” will appear in the lower LED readout.
Press the “set” key to begin entering the password to allow programming.
5. In the lower LED, the value “0 - -” (zero, dash, dash) with a flashing zero will be displayed.
6. The programming password is “321”. Use up arrow key to input each digit in the security code.
Confirm each digit by pressing “set” key. After each confirmation, the next digit will begin to flash.
7. After entering the third digit and pressing “set”, “Pr2” will appear in the upper
LED readout. Press the “down arrow” key three times and the parameter
“Adr” will appear in the upper LED readout. The lower LED readout will
indicate the default address “1”. (See image to the right.)
8. Press the “set” key once and the number will begin to blink. Use the “up
arrow” key to set the address from (1 to 247). When the proper address is
indicated in the lower LED, press “set” key.
9. The address is programmed. After approximately 30 seconds, the LED
readouts will return to the default temperature reading mode.
