TAC I/A Series
MNB-300 BACnet Unitary Controller
I/A Series Micronet MNB-300
The TAC I/A Series™ MicroNet™ MNB-300
BACnet™ Unitary Controller is an interoperable
controller with native BACnet MS/TP communications
support. The controller features Sensor Link (S-Link)
support, LED status and output indication, screw
terminal blocks, as well as a panel mount sub-base
with removable electronics module.
When programmed using WorkPlace Tech Tool, the
Unitary controller provides a wide range of control
strategies for packaged rooftop, heat pump, fan coil,
unit ventilator, and similar applications.

COMMUNICATIONS
BACnet Networks
The TAC I/A Series MicroNet BACnet Unitary
Controller incorporates 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 TAC
I/A Series 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 MicroNet sensor. The various MN-Sx
sensors can provide room temperature, room
humidity, setpoint adjustment, and occupancy
override. This connection uses two-wire, unshielded
cable and is not polarity sensitive. Maximum S-Link
bus length is 200 ft (61 m).
