Protocol overview
Protocols are the communication languages spoken by the control devices. The main purpose of a protocol is to
communicate information in the most efficient method possible. Different protocols exist to provide specific
information for different applications.
In the BAS, many different protocols might be used, depending on manufacturer. Different protocols do not
change the function of the controller, but they typically require the owner to change systems or components in
order to change from one protocol to another. communicates different types of protocols.
The WSHP Open can communicate 1 of 5 different protocols:
•
BACnet MS/TP
(page 7)
•
BACnet ARC156
(page 11)
•
Modbus
(page 13)
•
Johnson N2
(page 16)
•
LonWorks
(page 18)
The default setting is BACnet MS/TP. You set the protocol and baud rate using the
SW3
DIP switches. The rotary
switches
MSB
(
SW1
) and
LSB
(
SW2
) set the board’s network address. See table below for specific switch settings.
The third party connects to the controller through port
J19
for BACnet MS/TP, BACnet ARC156, Modbus, and N2,
and through
J15
for the LonWorks Option Card.
NOTE
You must cycle power after changing the rotary switches or after connecting the LonWorks Option Card to
J15
.
