BACnet / Modbus DUCT SERIES

Installation & Operation Instructions

Phone: 1-888-967-5224 Website: workaci.com

GENERAL INFORMATION
The BACnet MS/TP / Modbus RTU Duct Series sensor is designed for use with electronic controllers in commercial heating and cooling building management systems. The ACI BACnet MS/TP /Modbus RTU Duct Series sensor can be ordered to monitor temperature, RH, or temp/RH in commercial HVAC ductwork. It uses BACnet MS/TP or Modbus RTU for physical connection to a BAS or controller, has dip switches to set addresses and baud rate, parity and stop bits (Modbus RTU only) and has on board end-of-line termination. There is no analog output.
WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
The BACnet/Modbus Duct Series temperature sensor has a depluggable terminal block located on the front of the PCB. For ease of wiring, we recommend removing the block, wiring, and reattaching before mounting. 16 to 22 AWG two conductor shielded cable is recommended for powering the sensors.
ACI recommends using Belden 3105 or compatible cable for RS-485 communication wiring. This wire has 120 ohm input impendence. The terminal blocks allow for (1) or (2) wires to be connected in each position for daisy chaining. Daisy chain the RS-485 wiring and do not use "Star" or "T" wiring. Avoid running communication wires next to AC line voltage wires. These can be sources of noise that can affect signal quality.
PRECAUTIONS · Remove power before wiring. Never connect or disconnect wiring with power applied.

PRECAUTIONS (Continued) · DO NOT RUN THE WIRING IN ANY CONDUIT WITH LINE VOLTAGE (24/120/230 VAC).
· If the 24 VDC or 24VAC power is shared with devices that have coils such as relays, solenoids, or other inductors, each coil must have an MOV, DC/AC Transorb, Transient Voltage Suppressor (ACI Part: 142583), or diode placed across the coil or inductor. The cathode, or banded side of the DC Transorb or diode, connects to the positive side of the power supply. Without these snubbers, coils produce very large voltage spikes when de-energizing that can cause malfunction or destruction of electronic circuits.

MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
For optimal readings, follow these tips:

· The sensor should be mounted in the middle of the duct where air circulation is well mixed (no stratification), and not blocked by obstructions. Stratification and obstructions can cause sensing errors. An example is downstream from a heating or cooling coil.
· Duct probe should be placed (3) to (4) duct segments down from any bend or obstructions and away from 90° bends.

BACnet or Modbus RTU protocol selection is done via SW4 switch. Place dipswitch #4 to the OFF position for BACnet and the ON position for Modbus. Refer to FIGURE 4.
ACI's BACnet sensors are master devices. Only master nodes are allowed to send and receive tokens on the MSTP network.
ACI's Modbus RTU sensors are slave devices. Only one master is connected to the bus and several slave nodes are connected to the same trunk. The Master initiates communication. The slave nodes only respond to a request from the Master. Slave nodes do not communicate with each other.

EURO (-EH)

Each branch must have all devices connected with (+) connected to (+) and (-) connected to (-). If a shielded cable is used, this is not to be connected to the devices. The shield cable should only be connected on one end to earth ground, usually at the controller. The start and end of each branch should have a termination resistor at the device level or at the controller.

MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS (Continued)
Refer to the wiring instructions (p. 2) to make necessary connections. After wiring, twist the cover until the enclosure is tightly sealed. *Reference FIGURE 2
BACnet MS/TP and Modbus RTU INTERFACE
The BACnet Master-Slave/Token-Passing (MS/TP) and Modbus Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) data link protocol uses EIA-485 as a two-wire, daisy chain network. A branch is a discrete chain of devices connected to a controller. The max number of devices per segment is 32, as per the BACnet and Modbus specifications. 4000 ft (1219.2 m) is the maximum recommended length for a segment, which includes all devices from the controller to the last device in the daisy chain.

Each device must be configured for the correct baud rate and have a unique address in each branch. The baud rate for the branch is set by the controller. This product has auto-baud for ease of network configuration but setting the baud rate using the DIP switches is recommended. Note: Auto-baud feature does not function when Modbus is the selected protocol.

**Note: Auto-Baud not available for Modbus RTU.

BAUD RATE SELECTION
By default, BACnet Protocol and Auto-Baud is factory set. If the sensor is field adjusted for Modbus RTU, the baud rate should be selected at this time to match the Master configuration. If Modbus RTU protocol is selected it is recommended the sensor unique address is selected at this time. Switches 8-10 are used to set the BACnet and Modbus baud rate. Refer to TABLE 2 for switch settings. Where (0) is OFF and (1) is ON. If the system's baud rate is known, it is recommended to set the specific baud rate to match the system. If the device is powered when a change is made, the device must be power cycled or reset for changes in baud rate to be made.

LED INFORMATION
One LED indicates four statuses. Solid green shows that power is good, but no data is transmitting. A solid Amber indicates that auto-baud is set and no data has been received to set a baud rate. Green/Amber flashing indicates data is being transmitted or received. Solid Red LED status indicates an error state, usually loss of communication on the network. If BACnet is the selected protocol, and this status remains for 10 times the APDU timeout, the device will automatically reset. If this state remains longer than that, reset the device.
ADDRESS SELECTION
Switches 1-7 are used to set the BACnet and Modbus addressing. Refer to TABLE 3 for switch settings. Each device in a network branch must have a unique address. The value of each position is printed on the board. By default, the address is (0). Note: (0) cannot be used if Modbus RTU protocol is selected and will require a unique address. If the device is powered when a change is made, the device must be power cycled or reset for changes in address to be made.

EOL TERMINATION RESISTANCE SELECTION
RS-485 requires that the last device in a chain have a termination resistor. This is controlled using a jumper in the EN (enabled) position marked on FIGURE 5. When the jumper is set to EN (enabled), a 120 resistance is added in parallel to the data line. When the jumper is set to DIS (disable), the resistance is not added. By default, the jumper is placed in the DIS (disabled) position.

DEVICE CONFIGURATION THROUGH BACnet
DEVICE INSTANCE
The Device Instance, by default, is 1035000 plus the Address. For example, an Address of 21 results in a default address of 1035021. This can be changed once the device is connected to the network, but each device instance must be unique within the network, not just this segment.

DEVICE NAME
By default, the device name is based on the type of device and the address. The device name can be a character string up to (32) characters in length. This can be changed once the device is connected to the network. For example: Temperature Sensor - 034. The device name must be unique throughout the entire BACnet network, not just this segment.

TEST MODE BACnet
For the Sensor objects (AI0 and AI1), a test mode can be set by writing the Boolean value true to the "out-of-service" property. Then the present-value can be set to any valid test value the user requires. This allows a user to test reactions to specific values returned by this device.

DEVICE LOCATION
The device location is optional but is intended to allow for further definition of the device's location. The device location can be a character string up to 64 characters in length.

DEVICE DESCRIPTION
By default, the device description is optional but is intended to allow for further information about the device or its environment. The device location can be a character string up to 64 characters in length.

TEMPERATURE UNITS CONFIGURATION
For temperature, the units of measure can be configured using BACnet. By writing to the units property of the temperature sensor (AI0), the reported temperature units can be changed. TABLE 4 shows the values to write.
TEMPERATURE AND RH OFFSET
This device allows for a temperature offset of +/-5C (9F) and an RH offset of +/-10%. By default, these values are set to 0, meaning no offset is added.
These are set by writing to the present value of the Temperature Calibration Offset (AV0) or RH Calibration Offset (AV1). The value written must be within the specified range or an error will be returned. To set back to factory settings, write any changed values to 0.

DEVICE CONFIGURATION THROUGH MODBUS RTU

MODBUS RTU DATA BITS, PARITY, AND STOP BITS SELECTION
Confirm Modbus Protocol is selected via dipswitch #4 on SW4 - see FIGURE 4. The device that requests information is called the Modbus Master and the devices giving the information are Modbus Slaves. The Modbus sensors are slave devices and the number of Data Bits needs to be the same as in the Master device configuration. ACI's Modbus RTU sensors utilize 8 data bits during communication exchange.
Parity and stop bit selection is performed via the SW4 switch located on the board. Dipswtiches #1 and #2 are adjusted to select the parity and stop bits - see TABLE 6. Where (0) is OFF and (1) is ON. If BACnet protocol is selected these dipswitches are irrelevant.

TEST MODE Modbus RTU
There are 5 data values in test mode. Coil 1001, Holding Registers (HR) 1001 and 1002, and the Input Registers (IR) 0003 and 0004 for Temp and RH values. When Coil 1001 is enabled, reading IR 0003 and 0004 will respond with the values in HR 1001 and 1002, other wise they will respond with the actual sensor values. General process for this is to write initial test values to HR 1001 and 1002, Enable Coil 1001 and then read as normal from IR 0003 and 0004. While Coil 1001 is enable, it is possible to write a change of value to IR 1001 and 1002, which will be reflected in the next read from IR 0003 and 0004. When testing completed, disable Coil 1001. The status of Coil 1001 and HR 1001 and 1002 are not persistent between reset/power cycle.
