4. Power Wiring – Half Wave Devices Single Device:

5. Power Wiring – Half Wave Devices Multiple devices powered from the same transformer:

6. AC - Rectification • Do not share transformers for Half and Full Wave Devices….!!!! • BTI and MSTP Repeater are Full Wave, all others are Half Wave devices • Check for other field devices before connecting them…

7. Inputs Termination 4-20 ma Pulse

8. Inputs Jumper / Dips Setting Jumpers Dips

9. Outputs Termination Binary Analog

10. MS/TP Network – Cabling • EIA-485 signaling standard • High quality tranciever; exerts only ¼ unit load on MS/TP • 9.6, 19.2, 38.4, or 76.8Kbps (configured at global controller). • Shielded Twisted Pair 18-22 AWG • Segment Length = 4000 ft • Use of MS/TP repeater increases number of segments and not number of devices. • Maximum of 3 repeaters between each device. • Matched terminating resistors required at each end of segment bus wired • across (DATA+) and (DATA–). Use matched resistors rated 80-120 ohm ¼W • ±5%. • Never ground both ends of a shield • Do not ground the MS/TP shield using a VLC terminal.

11. Recommended Cable for MSTP • Characteristic impedance between 100 and 130 ohms. • Distributed capacitance between 2 conductors shall be less than 100pF per meter (30 pF per foot). • Distributed capacitance between conductors and shield shall be less than 200 pF per meter (60 pF per foot).  • Foil or braided shields are acceptable. • Connect Air : W241P-2544 • Belden : 9841 (1-pair/24awg, 12.8pF 120ohm)

12. Terminating Resistors

13. MS/TP Network – Addressing • BACnet MS/TP LAN supports a maximum of 255 devices – addressed 0 ~ 254 • BACnet reserves address 255 • MS/TP = Master Slave / Token Passing • Maximum of 128 masters – addressed 0 ~ 127 • All Alerton devices are Masters • Alerton specification – 64 VLCs per LAN • Alerton uses ¼ unit load EIA-485 transceivers

14. MS/TP Network – Addressing • MAC address in the range 0–127 (Master Devices) • Using switch 8 will cause the VLC to be a slave device (not recommended) • 0 and 127 are often reserved for the BACtalk global controller

15. BACtalk Control Modules (BCMs) • High-performance, modular global controllers • BCm-PWS + 7 modules • Flexible, scalable • DIN rail mount • Requires 6-inch deep panel enclosure • NOT Hot Swappable! • Each have unique device instance except PWS and MDM • 8 MB Flash ; 32 MB RAM

16. BCM’s Structure

17. Architecture • BACnet Ethernet and BACnet/IP • Connect to LAN via Ethernet Switch • Remote access via BCM modem module • Gateway modules available… • BCM-TUX • BCM-MODBUS • BCM-HOTEL

18. Configuration • Unique software device instance for each module except PWS and MDM • DI set through Hyper Terminal using NULL Modem Cable. • Use CAT-5 or better for Ethernet • Always use a switch with all devices supporting 100Mbps • Maximum Ethernet length 100m (328ft) • Does not implement internal crossover

19. Boot Loader and ROC files • System boot code is factory loaded and cannot be changed and configured • Real Time Operating Code (ROC: *.OMF / *.BIN) factory loaded with software up gradable for latest firmware revisions. • DDC files (*.bd3) ; compiled version
