Running the Commission mobile application on a Windows laptop computer, you can connect directly to an Ethernet port on a networked BACnet/IP controller, or use an Ethernet switch to connect to a group of controllers.
You connect to the network and acquire an IP address so that you can communicate with the devices on that network. Most network connections used with the Commission mobile application assign an IP address to your mobile device using DHCP, which is a type of automatic addressing. However, certain Ethernet or WiFi networks may require you to use a static IP address. Consult with the network administrator to determine if a static IP address is required.
You log on to the Commission mobile application to perform commissioning, flow balance, and checkout operations on BACnet/IP controllers.
After you have wired the physical inputs and outputs of the controller, you perform I/O checkout to verify that the wiring was done correctly and that the physical inputs and outputs are working properly.
You connect to a device to begin all commissioning tasks.
This section provides recommendations on minimum wire sizes (cross-sectional areas) and maximum wire lengths for the wires connected to the screw terminals of Central IO modules, AS-B servers, RP and MP controllers, and IP-IO and RP-IO I/O modules. Recommendations on minimum wire size and maximum cable length for the digital inputs of the RP controller expansion modules, the DALI bus of the DALI light modules, the SMI Interface of the SMI blind modules, the Zigbee DALI and 0-10V modules, and the KNX Modbus gateway are also provided. The recommendations are for guidance only. Other wire sizes and lengths may be used, depending on wiring rules and when appropriate.
When uninstalling the building management system it is also important to securly dispose the products.
The MP-C controller is available in five models that support BACnet/IP communication. These five models offer five different combinations (sets) of the number of I/O points and types of I/O points. The MP-C controller also comes in two models that only support BACnet MS/TP communication.
The Status LED on the front of the automation devices changes color and flashes to indicate the status of the device.
