Communication Wiring - Protocols

General —

Protocols are the communication languages spoken by control devices. The main purpose of a protocol is to communicate information in the most efficient method possible. Different protocols exist to provide different kinds of information for different applications. In the BAS application, many different protocols are used, depending on manufacturer. Protocols do not change the function of a controller; just make the front end user different.

The RTU Open can be set to communicate on four different protocols: BACnet, Modbus, N2, and LonWorks. Switch 3 (SW3) on the board is used to set protocol and baud rate. Switches 1 and 2 (SW1 and SW2) are used to set the board’s network address. See Fig. 49 and 50 for protocol switch settings and address switches. The 3rd party connection to the RTU Open is through plug J19. See Fig. 51 for wiring.

NOTE: Power must be cycled after changing the SW1-3 switch settings.

Contact your Bryant applications engineer for more detailed information on protocols, 3rd party wiring, and networking.
