CHAPTER 2:
Bacnet/LONWorks Setup for ProtoNode RER/LER
2.1 INSTALLATION STEPS FOR THE CUSTOMER
Installation Instructions
1. Set the A, B, and S DIP Switch banks for the proper AERCO configuration. See Section 2.4.
2. Connect the ProtoNode Field protocol port to your Building Automation System (BAS) or
Energy Management System (EMS) as directed in Sections 4.1 and 4.2.
3. Connect the ProtoNode host port to AERCO equipment as shown in Section 3.1 through
3.7.
NOTE
To connect to an RS232 port, as featured on the AERCO BMS II
or ACS, you must use a RS232-to-RS485 converter.
4. Power up the ProtoNode RER or LER.
5. If the Field protocol is BACnet/IP or Modbus TCP, refer to Section 5 to change the IP
address using the ProtoNode Web GUI interface, or to Section 6 to run the RUInet utility
program to change the IP address. No changes to the configuration files are necessary.
6. If a BACnet Instance greater than the “A” DIP switch range is desired, it can be done in the
ProtoNode Web GUI interface. See Section 5.
7. If the Field Protocol is LonWorks, commission the ProtoNode on the LonWorks network.
This needs to be done by the LonWorks administrator using a LonWorks commissioning
tool. See Section 4.4.
2.2 RECORD IDENTIFICATION DATA
Each ProtoNode has a unique serial number located on the underside of the unit. The number
format is FPC-N3X-XXX-XXX-XXXX. This number should be recorded as it may be required for
technical support. The AERCO part numbers and model numbers are shown in the table below:
