The TAC I/A Series™ MicroNet™ BACnet™
VAV (Variable Air Volume) Controllers are
interoperable controllers with native BACnet MS/TP
communications support. All models incorporate: an
integral actuator with manual override; an integral,
patented, pressure transducer; three universal inputs;
Sensor Link (S-Link) support; LED status indication;
and over-the-shaft damper mounting. See the model
chart for optional features.
When programmed using WorkPlace Tech Tool, the
controllers provide a wide range of control strategies
for pressure-dependent and pressure-independent
terminal boxes with or without reheat capabilities.
The MicroNet BACnet VAV controllers can function

logs.
COMMUNICATIONS
BACnet Networks
The MicroNet BACnet VAV controllers incorporate
an isolated EIA-485 (formerly RS-485) transceiver for
BACnet MS/TP communications at 9.6 up to 76.8
kbaud using standard MS/TP wiring methods. Up to
128 MicroNet BACnet controllers can be connected
to an MS/TP sub-net without repeaters.
S-Link
The Sensor Link (S-Link) communications wiring
provides power and a communication interface
for one MN-Sx TAC I/A Series MicroNet sensor.
The various MN-Sx sensors can provide room
temperature, room humidity, setpoint adjustment,
and occupancy override. This connection uses twowire, unshielded cable and is not polarity sensitive.
Maximum S-Link bus length is 200 ft (61 m).
