Nortec Industries NHTC Series installation manual Networking

(1)NETWORKING

(1)It is possible to network up to a maximum of 8 units to a single LINKS 2. Since each unit is separately addressed, it is possible to monitor and control each unit individually. Different networking configurations may be achieved and are mostly dependant on the type of network present at the site. One networking example could have a Gateway installed inside the lead unit, which could then be daisy-chained to successive units. In turn, the lead unit would connect to a Building Management System (BMS) network via a shielded, twisted-pair connection. Please see wiring section for additional detail. A second example could have a series of units directly connected to an Ethernet network. This is only possible for BACnet communication and is essentially referred to as a BACnet/IP configuration.
