The MP-V controllers can be reconfigured to communicate with the hosting server based on the BACnet MS/TP protocol, instead of the BACnet/IP protocol. An adapter is required for converting the controller RS-485 Com port with RJ45 interface to screw terminals.
You wire the screw terminals on a Non-isolated RS-485 Adapter to connect an RP or MP controller to a BACnet MS/TP (RS-485) network or Modbus RTU (RS-485) subnetwork. Always use the recommended wires.
You connect a Non-isolated RS-485 Adapter (via a separate connection cable) to an RP or MP controller to convert the controller RS-485 RJ45 interface to screw terminals, which is required to connect the controller to a BACnet MS/TP (RS-485) network or a Modbus RTU (RS-485) subnetwork. You use a Non-isolated RS-485 Adapter (SXWNISORS48510001) when the BACnet MS/TP network includes non-isolated controllers, such as the b3 BACnet family of zone controllers, and when the Modbus RTU subnetwork includes Modbus devices that are non-isolated or isolated.
The Non-isolated RS-485 Adapter is equipped with an RJ45 port for connection to an RP or MP controller RS-485 Com port and a 4-position removable screw terminal block for connection to a BACnet MS/TP (RS-485) network or Modbus RTU (RS-485) subnetwork.
The Non-isolated RS-485 Adapter (SXWNISORS48510001) is used when connecting an RP or MP controller to the following networks:
You wire the screw terminals on an RS-485 Power Adapter to connect a BACnet/IP controller (RP or MP controller) to an RS-485 bus. Always use the recommended wires.
You wire the screw terminals on an Isolated RS-485 Adapter to connect a BACnet/IP controller to a BACnet MS/TP (RS-485) network. Always use the recommended wires.
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.
