Factory Device Handling
Default Factory Device ID Settings
For successful communication via BACnet, each controller must have a unique device ID. By default, each new IRM
controller has assigned the factory device ID = 4194302. But, when multiple controllers have the same device ID
assigned, they cannot talk via the BACnet protocol (Who is? - I am broadcast messages).
As a result, new controllers on the MSTP bus will not be visible after discovery.
IRM Configuration Settings
For engineering IRM controllers on a BACnet network, particular settings must be configured as default settings.
Procedure
1.
To do this, expand the
BacnetNetwork
folder in the
Nav
tree.
2.
Double-click the
IrmConfig
folder in the BACnet network to display the property sheet.
3.
On the property sheet, do any of the following:
•
Id Range Min Enter the value for the lowest drive ID that is assigned to a device during discovery.
•
Id Range Max Enter the value for the highest device ID that is assigned to a device during discovery.
Devices will get device IDs automatically assigned within the range of Id Range Min and Id Range Max settings
NOTES: Actual device Id assignment is executed not till the controller is connected to the network.
Then when adding the discovered controllers to the database, in the
Edit
dialog to each controller a unique device
Id is issued within the range of the min and max Id limits configured in the IRM Config Properties (see above).
