1 INTRODUCTION
ProtoNode is an external, high performance, Building and Industrial Automation multi-protocol
gateway for OEMs wanting to provide protocol translation between Serial and Serial, Serial-Ethernet and
Ethernet-Ethernet devices using LonWorks®1, BACnet®2, Metasys®3 N2 by JCI, Modbus, DNP3, and
more.
This manual provides installation information for 2 types of customers:
OEMs that have purchased the product to be used with their controllers and have not done a first
time start with their controller. When the OEM completes the programming of the ProtoNode with
their device, the ProtoNode will be vitually plug and play at the OEMs customer sites.
o The OEM follows all the steps in this guide to complete the first time start up.
End Users that have purchased the preprogrammed ProtoNode from one of our OEM customers
and need some instructions to configure the device.
The ProtoNode is always pre-configured by the OEM, requiring the end customer to only set of
DIP switches to load a configuration file and set the specific network setting of the device.
NOTE: Technical Support for the end‐user is provided by the device manufacturer and not Sierra
Monitor.
NOTE: For FieldPoP™ information, refer to the FieldPoP™ Device Cloud Start-up Guide online at
the Sierra Monitor.com Resource Center.

ProtoNode Start-Up Guide
LonMark International is the recognized authority for certification, education,
and promotion of interoperability standards for the benefit of manufacturers,
integrators and end users. LonMark International has developed extensive
product certification standards and tests to provide the integrator and user with
confidence that products from multiple manufacturers utilizing LonMark
devices work together. Sierra Monitor has more LonMark Certified gateways
than any other gateway manufacturer, including the ProtoCessor, ProtoCarrier
and ProtoNode for OEM applications and the full featured, configurable
gateways.
2 CERTIFICATION
2.1 BTL Mark – BACnet Testing Laboratory
The BTL Mark on the BACnet Router is a symbol that indicates that a product
has passed a series of rigorous tests conducted by an independent laboratory
which verifies that the product correctly implements the BACnet features
claimed in the listing. The mark is a symbol of a high-quality BACnet product.

3.2 Installation Steps for the Customer
1. Record the information about the unit. (Section 3.3)
2. Set the A, B, and S DIP Switch banks for Field Protocol baud rate, Node-ID/Device Instance, and
proper configuration. (Section 3.4)
3. Connect the ProtoNode to the Field Protocol port and customer’s port to the ProtoNode’s RS-485
interface. (Section 4.4)
4. Connect Power to ProtoNode. After power up, the device is installed on BACnet MS/TP or
Metasys N2.
5. Where the Field protocol is BACnet/IP or Modbus TCP/IP, refer to Section 4 to run the
ProtoNode Web GUI program to change the IP Address. No changes to the configuration file are
necessary.
3.3 Record Identification Data
Each ProtoNode has a unique part number located on the side or the back of the unit. The number format
is FPC-N34-XXX-XXX-XXXX. This number should be recorded, as it may be required for technical
support.
Part Number: __________________________________________________

3.4 Configure the DIP Switches
3.4.1 Setting the Node/ID Device Instance (DIP Switch A0 – A7)
The A Bank DIP switches on the ProtoNode allow users to set the Node-ID/Device Instance on
the Field RS-485.
DIP switches A0 – A7 can also be used to set the MAC Address for BACnet MS/TP and
BACnet/IP.
NOTE: When setting DIP Switches, please ensure that power to the board is OFF.
Refer to Appendix B.1 for the full range of addresses to set Node-ID/Device Instance.
3.4.2 Setting the Serial Baud Rate (DIP Switch B0 – B3)
DIP Switches B0 – B3 can be used to set the serial baud rate to match the baud rate provided by
the interfaced systems.
Metasys N2 is always defaulted to 9600 baud and the B bank is disabled.
“B” bank DIP switches B0 – B3 are disabled on ProtoNode FPC-N35 (LonWorks).

3.4.3 Select and Load Configuration Files
The S bank of DIP switches, S0 - S3 is used to select and load a configuration file from a group of
pretested/preloaded configuration files that the OEM has programmed for their end users.
End customers will need to go back to the OEM of the device that they are installing to get the
DIP settings for the ProtoNode. The ProtoNode part number will need to be provided to identify
the unit.

The top 3 pin port will always be R1, unless it’s a LonWorks ProtoNode in which case the port designation
is LonWorks (and the port is 2 pins). The bottom 6 pin port will be R2.
NOTE: The 6 pin port can be RS-232, RS-485, RS-422 or KNX (and we use the left 3 pins for this as
currently shown).
4.2 Device Connections to ProtoNode
ProtoNode 6 Pin Phoenix connector for RS-485 Devices
The 6 pin Phoenix connector is the same for ProtoNode FPC-N34 (BACnet) and FPC-N35
(LonWorks).
Pins 1 through 3 are for Modbus RS-485 devices.
o The RS-485 GND (Pin 3) is not typically connected
Pins 4 through 6 are for power. Do not connect power until Section 4.6.

Bias Resistors
Figure 8: Bias Resistors
4.3 Resistor and Power Jumper Information
4.3.1 Bias Resistors
The ProtoNode bias resistors are used to keep the RS-485 bus to a known state, when there is no
transmission on the line (bus is idling), to help prevent false bits of data from being detected. The bias
resistors typically pull one line high and the other low - i.e. far away from the decision point of the logic.
In the RS-485 carrier, the bias resistor is 510 ohms which is in line with the BACnet spec. It should only
be enabled at one point on the bus (on the Brian field port were there are very weak bias resistors of
100k). Since there are no jumpers, many Brains can be put on network without running into the bias
resistor limit which is < 500 ohms.
NOTE: See www.ni.com/support/serial/resinfo.htm for additional pictures and notes.
