Appendix C: BACnet integration
Overview
PRC1500E and PRC2000E controllers provide a BACnet/IP
integration path to building automation system, allowing a
user to monitor and switch controllable circuit breakers and
control fluorescent and LED lighting equipped with 0–10 V
dimming control circuitry from a BACnet controller using
BACnet/IP protocol.
The PRC-E controller has been designed for the simplest
configuration possible in stand-alone circuit breaker
panelboard applications. After the Pow-R-Command
PRC-E circuit breaker panelboard is installed and energized,
connect to the panelboard via the provided Ethernet port
to obtain all of its configuration and status information.
PRC-E controller point types are automatically mapped to
BACnet objects as shown in the table below.

Configuration and integration
The BACnet settings of the PRC-E controllers can be
edited using the embedded Web pages of the controller,
PRC Lighting Optimization Software, or the Color LCD
Touchscreen (See LCD programming guide).
The BACnet configuration setting available are listed in the
table below.

The BACnet configuration settings are supplied by the
Building Automation System integrator.
Controller Connection
If the system has been commissioned and connected to the
building Ethernet backbone, the IP address assigned can be
used to access the Web pages from any PC on the network
using a standard Web browser.
If the system has not been connected to the building
Ethernet and commissioned with a static IP, the controller
will need to be connected to locally using an Ethernet
cable to the controller Ethernet network RJ-45 connector
or Maintenance Port RJ-45 connector.
Figure 43 . PRC-E Ethernet RJ-45 Connectors
The Pow-R-Command PRC-E BACnet panelboard is
configurable via Web interface using a standard Web
browser from the PRC Ethernet port or Maintenance Port.
Connect to the PRC-E controller using either Ethernet or
Maintenance Port.
Open the Web page of the PRC-E controller by entering it
IP address in the chosen Web browser. See “Web Page
Programming” guide for detailed instructions on Ethernet
connections.
BACnet setting
The PRC1500E and PRC2000E controllers have native
BACnet/IP capabilities. The attributes needed for BACnet
system communication are set using the BACnet
configuration screen. These setting must be provided
by the BACnet integrator.
Once connected to the PRC-E controller Web page:
Step 1 .
Click the “System Configuration” tab.
Step 2 .
Click the “BACnet” tab within this Web page.
