(3) GATEWAY CONFIGURATION
(1)Protocol configuration is made at the factory, prior to final testing. Baud rates are also adjusted to the following values:
Table 2. Baud Rates
Protocol | Default Baud Rates |
BACnet MS/TP | 38.4 kbps |
|
|
BACnet / IP | 10BaseT |
Johnson N2 | 9.6 kbps |
(2)For BACnet/IP, BACnet/MSTP and Johnson N2 applications, it is necessary to establish the modules network address parameters in order access it. Address assignments can be configured at the factory or Nortec can provide instructions to modify the address settings in the field.
(4)NETWORK INTEGRATION
(A)LONWORKS.XIF FILE
(1)To facilitate the integration of a LonWorks unit within a network, it may be desirable to obtain an External Interface File (XIF). Files of type .xif are used to convey the resources, specific objects and data types which a LonWorks device possesses. The
.xif file allows a network integrator to simulate the presence of a networked humidifier even if it is not yet physically connected to the network. In fact, if the integrator has the .xif files of all network devices, a complete system could be simulated and configured
(B)BACNET PICS AND BIBS
(1)The Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement or “PICS” describes the BACnet capabilities of a particular BACnet implementation. It is a written document, created by the manufacturer of a device, which identifies the particular options specified by BACnet that are implemented in the device.
(2)BACnet Interoperability Building Blocks (BIBBs) describe a list of services a BACnet device provides. The main areas that the building blocks are concerned with include: data sharing, trends, schedules, device and system management. BIBBs help specify the interoperability capabilities of a BACnet device. Please contact the factory to obtain a PICS statement or BIBBs profile.
