Thermal Solutions Boiler Controller To Building Automatio

Thermal Solutions ProtoNode Start Up guide Page 7 of 32
2.3 Configure the A, B, and S Bank of DIP Switches
The A, B and S need to be set on the ProtoNode RER (FPC‐N34).
The A and B banks of DIP switches are disabled on the ProtoNode LER (FPC‐N35) and are not set.
2.3.1 Setting Device Node-ID’s and Serial Settings of the TSBC Controllers
The baud rates on all the boilers need to match what is set on the ProtoNode’s Modbus RTU RS-485 port
which is 19200 baud. See appendix B.1 for the serial settings
All the boilers need to be set for odd parity, 8 date bits, and 1 stop bit.
All of the Thermal Solutions TSBC Boilers connected to the ProtoNode need to have their own unique
Modbus Node address. They need to be set between 1 and 255.
2.3.2 Setting the MAC Address (DIP Switch A0 – A7) for BACnet MS/TP
The A Bank DIP switches on the ProtoNode RER allow users to set the MAC Address for BACnet
MS/TP only.
Figure 1: A0 – A7 DIP Switches
Please refer to Error! Reference source not found. for the full range of addresses to set Node-
ID/Device Instance.
NOTE: When setting DIP Switches, please ensure that power to the board is OFF.
2.3.3 Setting the Node-ID/Device Instance for Metasys N2, BACnet/IP, and
Modbus TCP
BACnet IP/BACnet MSTP Addressing: The BACnet device instances will be set by the node offset + the
Modbus RTU device address set on the TSBC devices.
o
The node offset is currently set to 50000 in the config so Modbus address 1 would be assigned a
device instance of 50001.
o If the 2 nd Device is Modbus address set 2 then the device instance will be set to 50002.
Metasys N2 Addressing: The Metasys N2 device addresses will be the same as the discovered TSBC
Modbus RTU devices.
