1 Introduction
1.1 ProtoNode Gateway
The ProtoNode wireless gateway is an external, high performance building automation multi-protocol gateway that is
preconfigured to automatically communicate between Huntner Fans devices (hereafter simply called “device”) connected to
the ProtoNode and automatically configures them for BACnet/IP, BACnet MS/TP, Metasys N2 and Modbus RTU.
It is not necessary to download any configuration files to support the required applications. The ProtoNode is pre-loaded
with tested profiles/configurations for the supported devices.
FPC-N64Connectivity Diagram:
The ProtoNode can connect with the MSA Grid – FieldServer Manager. The FieldServer Manager allows technicians, the
OEM's support team and MSA Safety's support team to remotely connect to the ProtoNode. The FieldServer Manager
provides the following capabilities for any registered devices in the field:
• Remotely monitor and control devices.
• Collect device data and view it on the Dashboard and the MSA Smart Phone App.
• Create user defined device notifications (alarm, trouble and warning) via SMS and/or Email.
• Generate diagnostic captures (as needed for troubleshooting) without going to the site.
For more information on the FieldServer Manager, see the MSA Grid - FieldServer Manager Start-up Guide.

2 Setup for ProtoNode
2.1 Record Identification Data
Each ProtoNode has a unique part number located on the side or the back of the unit. This number should be recorded, as it
may be required for technical support. The numbers are as follows:
Model Part Number
ProtoNode FPC-N64-2045
• FPC-N64 units have the following 4 ports: 2 Ethernet + RS-485 + RS-485/RS-232
2.2 Point Count Capacity and Registers per Device
The total number of registers presented the device(s) attached to the ProtoNode cannot exceed:
Part number Total Registers
FPC-N64-2045 1,500
Devices Point Count Per Device
Yaskawa 20
Mitsubishi 60
TRAK 24
2.3 Configuring Device Communications
2.3.1 Set Node-ID for Any Device Attached to the ProtoNode
• Set Node-ID for any device attached to ProtoNode. The Node-ID needs to be uniquely assigned between 1 and 255.
• Document the Node-ID that is assigned. The Node-ID assigned is used for deriving the Device Instance for BACnet/IP
and BACnet MS/TP. (Section 9.5 BACnet: Setting Node_Offset to Assign Specific Device Instances)
NOTE:The Metasys N2 field protocol Node-ID is automatically set to be the same value as the Node-ID of the
device.
2.3.2 Set IP Address for Any Ethernet Device Connected to the ProtoNode
• Ensure any device is set to Modbus TCP/IP to communicate with the ProtoNode.
• The device needs to be on the same IP subnet as the ProtoNode and the configuration PC.
• Record the following device information to start the setup:
◦ IP Address
◦ IP port
◦ TCP_ID
NOTE:This information is required for Section 9.3 Setting Active Profiles.

3 Interfacing ProtoNode to Devices
3.1 Device Connections to ProtoNode
The ProtoNode has a 3-pin Phoenix connector for connecting RS-485 devices on the R1 port.
NOTE:Use standard grounding principles for RS-485 GND.
3.2 Wiring Field Port to RS-485 Serial Network
• Connect the RS-485 network wires to the 3-pin RS-485 connector on the R2 port.
◦ RS-485 is part of the RS-485 interface and must be connected to the corresponding terminal on the BMS. If the
cable is shielded, the shield must connected only at one end and to earth ground – it will help suppress the
electromagnetic field interference. (Connecting the shield at both ends will likely produce current loops, which
could produce noise or interference that the shield was intended to block).
• See Section 5.1 Connecting to the Gateway via Ethernet for information on connecting to an Ethernet network.

3.3 Bias Resistors
To enable Bias Resistors, move both the BIAS- and BIAS+ dip switches to the right in the orientation shown
above.
The bias resistors are used to keep the RS-485 bus to a known state, when there is no transmission on the line (bus is
idling), to help prevent false bits of data from being detected. The bias resistors typically pull one line high and the other low -
far away from the decision point of the logic.
The bias resistor is 510 ohms which is in line with the BACnet spec. It should only be enabled at one point on the bus (for
example, on the field port were there are very weak bias resistors of 100k). Since there are no jumpers, many ProtoNodes
can be put on the network without running into the bias resistor limit which is < 500 ohms.
NOTE:Seethe Termination and Bias Resistance Enote for additional information.
NOTE:If the gateway is already powered on, DIP switch settings will not take effect unless the unit is power
cycled.

3.4 Termination Resistor
If the gateway is the last device on the serial trunk, then the End-Of-Line Termination Switch needs to be enabled. To
enable the Termination Resistor, move the TERM dip switch to the right in the orientation shown in above.
Termination resistor is also used to reduce noise. It pulls the two lines of an idle bus together. However, the resistor would
override the effect of any bias resistors if connected.
NOTE:The R1 and R2 DIP Switches apply settings to the respective serial port.
NOTE:If the gateway is already powered on, DIP switch settings will not take effect unless the unit is power
cycled.
