1. INTRODUCTION
ProtoNode is an external, high performance, Building Automation multi-protocol gateway that has been
preprogrammed for AERCO’s equipment to support BACnet®
1 MS/TP, BACnet/IP, Metasys® 2 N2 by JCI, Modbus
TCP, and LonWorks® 3 . All the different AERCO C-More configurations for the various protocols are stored within
the ProtoNode and are selectable via DIP switches for fast and easy installation. There is no need to download any
configuration files to support the required applications.
This provides the necessary information to assist the Installers of the boilers/heaters with the installation of the
ProtoNode RER on BACnet MS/TP, BACnet/IP, and Metasys N2 by JCI networks and installation of the ProtoNode
LER on a LonWorks network.
BACnet International BTL certification is the highest level of BACnet conformance tests that a product can be
subjected to.
• The ProtoNode RER is BACnet BTL Certified.
• The ProtoNode LER is LonMark Certified.
The ProtoNode units feature a very small form factor, as indicated in the dimensional illustration below:
