The TAC I/A Series™ MicroNet™
BACnet™ Plant Controller is an
interoperable controller with native
BACnet, IP, and MS/TP
communications support. The
controller features Sensor Link
(S-Link) support, LED status and
output indication, two Ethernet ports,
and screw terminal blocks.
The Plant Controller’s sequence of
operation and BACnet image are fully
programmable using WorkPlace
Tech Tool, and can be applied to a wide range of mechanical
equipment. Typical applications include central station air
handlers, VAV air handlers, and cooling towers.

Precautions
When installing the MNB-1000 controller, be sure to
follow the guidelines outlined in "Precautions" on
page 4.
Location
The MNB-1000 controller is suitable for indoor use only.
Caution:
• Avoid locations where excessive moisture, corrosive
fumes, vibration, or explosive vapors are present.
• Avoid electrical noise interference. Do not install near
large contactors, electrical machinery, or welding
equipment.
• Locate where ambient temperatures do not exceed
140 °F (60 °C) or fall below -40 °F (-40 °C) and relative
humidity does not exceed 85% or fall below 5%,
non-condensing.
Dimensions
Mounting dimensions for the MNB-1000 controller are shown
in Figure-1. Refer to Figure-3 for mounting dimensions for
optional enclosure MNB-1000-ENC.
Inspection
Inspect carton for damage. If damaged, notify carrier
immediately. Inspect controllers for damage upon receipt.

MountingMount the controller to the wall according to Figure-2.
7 Tighten the four thumb screws
CW to secure the input and
output boards in place.
5 Position the controller onto
the base plate.
2 To mount the MNB-1000 to a panel, proceed as
follows:
a. Holding the controller's base plate in position,
mark the locations of the four mounting holes
on the panel.
b. Set the base plate aside and drill the marked
mounting holes, using a drill bit sized to the
mounting screws.
c. Secure the base plate to the panel, using four
#10 screws (not supplied).
d.
Continue at Step 4.
3 Optional To mount the MNB-1000 inside Enclosure MNB-1000-ENC,
proceed as follows:
a.
Separate the enclosure cover from the enclosure base.
b. Holding the enclosure's base in position on the wall, mark the
locations of the four mounting holes.
c. Set the enclosure base aside and drill the marked mounting holes,
using a drill bit sized to the mounting screws.
d. Secure the enclosure base to the wall, using four #10 screws (not
supplied).
e. Mount the controller's base
plate onto the four threaded
studs on the enclosure's base.
Secure the base plate, using
four #6-32 nuts (provided).
f.
Continue at Step 4.

1 Select a mounting location. The MNB-1000 may be
panel-mounted or, optionally, enclosure-mounted. To
panel-mount the MNB-1000, go to Step 2. To mount the
MNB-1000 inside optional Enclosure MNB-1000-ENC,
go to Step 3.
Note: The MNB-1000 may be mounted in any
orientation.
4 Be sure the input and output boards
are spread apart as far as possible.
If needed, loosen the four thumb
screws by turning them CCW and
then reposition the boards.
6 Press on the aluminum tabs to slide the input and output boards
into the controller, making sure the mating connectors engage fully.
Note: The connectors are properly
engaged when the gap between
the controller and the input and
output boards is even and minimal
from top to bottom.
Warning: Electrical shock hazard! Disconnect power before installing or removing the
cover.
Each MicroNet BACnet controller is equipped with a DIP switch for setting the controller’s
MS/TP network address. Once the address is set, the network is properly wired, and all
routers are configured, WorkPlace Tech Tool (must be version 5.0 or greater) and other
Schneider Electric tools will be able to “see” and work with all the networked BACnet
devices. For guidance in assigning a DIP switch setting that will optimize system
performance, refer to the WorkPlace Tech Tool BACnet Engineering Guide Supplement,
F-27356.
Other BACnet Devices
The UNC and other BACnet devices on the network can work with the MicroNet BACnet
controller once they are assigned unique identifiers and names. MicroNet BACnet
controllers are configured in this way through the Commissioning Tool.
Note: The logical addressing of devices (i.e. the assignment of unique identifiers and
names) is not a prerequisite for using Schneider Electric network management tools. It is,
however, a prerequisite for using the UNC and third-party BACnet devices with MicroNet
BACnet controllers.
EOL Termination
The MNB-1000 is equipped with a jumper-selectable end-of-line (EOL) termination resistor.
The default position for the EOL jumper is “EOL termination not present.” If the controller is
at the end-of-line, set termination according to the MicroNet BACnet Wiring, Networking, and Best Practices Guide, F-27360.
Note: If another device is at the end-of-line on the MS/TP trunk, use an end-of-line
termination resistor, 120 Ω ±5%, part number 40-1758.
Network Bias Resistors
The MNB-1000 is equipped with two internal, jumper-selectable, network bias resistors for
the MS/TP trunk. The default position for these jumpers is “disabled.” For more information
on these resistors, refer to the MicroNet BACnet Wiring, Networking, and Best Practices Guide, F-27360.
Finish installing the MNB-1000 controller by performing the wiring and network configuration
tasks outlined in the MicroNet BACnet Wiring, Networking, and Best Practices Guide,
F-27360. Information covered in this Guide include:

General
Warning: Electrical shock hazard! Disconnect power before installing or removing the
cover.
• Follow Static Precautions (below) when installing this equipment.
• Use copper conductors that are suitable for 167°F (75°C).
• Make all connections according to electrical wiring diagram, national and local electrical
codes.
Static Precautions
Static charges damage electronic components. The microprocessor and associated circuitry
are extremely sensitive to static discharge. Use the following precautions when installing,
servicing, or operating the system.
• Work in a static-free area.
• Discharge static electricity by touching a known, securely grounded object.
• Use a wrist strap connected to earth ground when handling the controller’s printed
circuit board.
