Description

The MicroTech III®BACnet Communication Module incorporates a MicroTech III Chiller Unit

Controller into a BACnet local area network (LAN). It supports the BACnet MS/TP (EIA 485) data

link layer (physical layer.)

The BACnet Communication Module is a printed circuit board with a plastic enclosure that connects

to the left side of the McQuay D-Net™ Module as shown in Figure 1 or directly to the MicroTech III

Chiller Unit Controller. The BACnet Communication Module provides access to the MicroTech III

Chiller Unit Controller variables and parameters via BACnet.

Note: The D-Net module is an optional feature that provides remote monitoring and diagnostic

capability for certain models of McQuay chillers. Please refer to supporting literature,

available on www.mcquay.com, for additional details about D-Net.

Application

The BACnet Communication Module connects the MicroTech III Chiller Unit Controller to a

building automation system (BAS) on a BACnet local area network. It is the interface for the

exchange of BACnet objects between the network and the unit controller. Refer to the McQuay

MicroTech III Chiller Operation Manual for keypad details.

Component Data

Figure 1 shows the BACnet Communication Module, located on the far left-hand side of the image

below. It is connected to the AWM, which is mounted directly to the unit controller. Figure 2 shows

the important features of the BACnet Communication Module.

Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs)

The BACnet Communication Module has a BSP LED and a BUS LED to indicate communication

activity and status of the BACnet Communication Module. These indicators are visible when the

communication module is connected to the MicroTech III Chiller Unit Controller and the unit is

powered on (see Figure 2).

BSP LED

The BSP LED indicates the communication state between the BACnet Communication Module and

the MicroTech III Chiller Unit Controller. The table below describes the status of the BSP LED.

BSP LED Color Meaning

Flashing between Red & Green Board Support Package (BSP) upgrade in progress

Green Communication is established with the unit controller

Communication is established between the communication

module and the unit controller.

Yellow The communication module is capable of communicating to

the unit controller. However, communication is not

established.

Red flashing with 2Hz Red flashing with 2Hz = Software error.1

Red Hardware error.1

1In the event that this should occur, cycle power to the unit controller to attempt to clear the problem. Contact

the McQuay Controls Customer Support Group at 866-4MCQUAY (866-462-7829) for additional assistance if

necessary.

BUS LEDs

The BUS LED indicates the communication status between the BACnet Communication Module and

the BACnet MS/TP network. The table below describes the status of the BUS LED.

BUS LED Color Meaning

Green The unit controller is capable of communicating to the network.

Red The unit controller is not capable of communicating to the network.

Orange / Yellow Communication module is initializing.

BACnet Network Connector

An RS485 connector connects the BACnet Communication Module to the MS/TP Network and has

three pins: + , -, and ref (see Figure 2).

Board-To-Board Connector

The board-to-board connector connects the MicroTech III Chiller Unit Controller to the BACnet

Communication Module (see Figures 3, 4 and 5).

Installation

The following section describes how to field install a new BACnet Communication Module or

replace an existing BACnet Communication Module on the MicroTech III Chiller Unit Controller so

that it can be incorporated into the BACnet network.

!CAUTION

Electrostatic discharge hazard. Can cause equipment damage.

This equipment contains sensitive electronic components that may be damaged by

electrostatic discharge from your hands. Before you handle a communications module, you

need to touch a grounded object, such as the metal enclosure, in order to discharge the

electrostatic potential in your body.

Contents of the BACnet Communication Module Kit

The following is the list of items included in the field-installed kit:

The BACnet Communication Module

Board-to-board connector

Network connector (attached to module)

Installation Manual (IM 967)

Installing a new BACnet Communication Module

Follow these steps to install a BACnet Communication Module on the unit controller. The BACnet

Communication Module can be connected directly to the unit controller itself or to an existing

module, if one is attached.

To install a BACnet Communication Module

!WARNING

Electric shock hazard. Can cause personal injury or equipment damage.

This equipment must be properly grounded. Only personnel knowledgeable in the operation of the

equipment being controlled must perform connections and service to the MicroTech III Chiller Unit

Controller.

1. Remove power from the unit controller.

2. Remove the knockout on the far left end of the unit controller itself (or additional module, if

present). See Figure 3.

Note: To prevent damage to the unit controller, insert a small screwdriver or other tool to the tab on

the bottom of the unit controller and pull the screwdriver away from the controller.

3. Remove the knockout on the right side of the BACnet Communication Module.

4. Insert the board-to-board connector into the BACnet Communication Module (see Figures 3 and

4). Note that it only fits one way and that the baffles must line up with corresponding slots in

BACnet Communication Module and the unit controller (see Figures 4 and 5).

10 IM 967-1

5. Insert the other end of the board-to-board connector to the far-left side of the unit controller or

other device (i.e. module), if attached (see Figure 1).

6. Connect the BACnet Communication Module to the network by inserting a network cable into

the communication module’s network connector (see Figure 2).

7. Power up the unit controller.

8. The unit controller automatically resets itself approximately 30 seconds after it is powered up.

This reset is necessary so that the BACnet Communication Module is synchronized with the unit

controller.

Note: There is a limit of three devices that can be attached to the left side of the unit controller.

Replacing an Existing BACnet Communication Module

Follow these steps to remove an existing BACnet Communication Module from unit controller and

replace it with a new BACnet Communication Module.

To Replace a BACnet Communication Module

!WARNING

Electric shock hazard. Can cause personal injury or equipment damage.

This equipment must be properly grounded. Only personnel knowledgeable in the operation of the

equipment being controlled must perform connections and service to the MicroTech III Chiller Unit

Controller.

1. Remove power from the unit controller.

2. Locate the BACnet Communication Module to the left of the unit controller (see Figure 1).

3. Pull the network cable connector from the BACnet Communication Module.

4. Grasp the BACnet Communication Module and carefully pull it from the unit controller (or from

an adjacent module, if it is attached to one.)

5. Install the new BACnet Communication Module (see steps 2-5 from previous section).

6. Insert the network cable connector into the BACnet Communication Module (see Figure 2 for

location of network connector).

7. Power up the unit controller.

9. The unit controller automatically resets itself approximately 30 seconds after it is powered up.

This reset is necessary so that the BACnet Communication Module is synchronized with the unit

controller.
