Network Connection

BACnet MS/TP Network Communication

Connect the network wiring and set the EOL switch- es accordingly. (See the Installation Guide for wiring and end-of-line switch information.)

From the FlexStat menus, adjust the device instance number, the MAC address, and baud rate from the defaults as necessary. Set the Max Master to the minimum necessary for the network. See (Advanced) BACnet Device Properties on page 8 and (Advanced) BACnet Communications on page 7.)

NOTE: The current FlexStat MAC address and device instance numbers can be viewed in the About menu. Each BACnet device on a network must have a unique MAC address and device instance.

PC Data Port Connection

The FlexStat is equipped with a PC data port located at the bottom of the thermostat housing. This port provides a temporary EIA-485 (formerly RS-485) connection to the digital network for network setup or troubleshooting.

To connect a computer to the port, a means of converting the EIA-485 signal to a USB or EIA-232 (formerly RS-232) signal will be needed. For USB, use a KMC KMD-5576 USB Communicator. For EIA-232, use a third-party interface. (See the instruc- tions included with those devices and software.) To connect to the PC data port:

1.Connect the keyed, flat end of the KMD-5624 interface cable (included with the KMD-5576) to the port on the bottom of the FlexStat.

2.Connect the modular plug of the cable to the interface device that converts the EIA-485 signal from the FlexStat into a USB or EIA-232 signal.

3.Connect the suitable cable from the interface device to the computer’s serial or USB port. Install any required software and configure the port as necessary.

NOTE: To avoid faulty communication with the KMD-5576 USB Communicator, the Max Master number may need to be reduced to the minimum required for the network and the driver and latency settings on the computer may need to be checked or updated. See Troubleshooting on page 17.
