Simplex Programming and Installation BACpac Ethernet Module

Cautions and BACPac Ethernet Instructions AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS Follow the instructions in this manual These instructions must be followed to avoid damage to this and associated equipment Product operation and reliability depend upon installation NOT INSTALL ANY SIMPLEX PRODUCT THAT APPEARS Upon unpacking your Simplex product inspect the contents of the for shipping damage If damage is apparent immediately file a claim with the and notify an authorized Simplex product supplier HAZARD Disconnect electrical field power when making any adjustments or repairs All repairs should be performed by a representative or agent of your local Simplex product supplier HAZARD Static electricity can damage components Handle as follows Ground yourself before opening or installing Prior to installation keep components wrapped in anti static material at all times RULES AND REGULATIONS PART 15 This equipment has been tested found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device pursuant to Part 15 of FCC Rules These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment equipment generates uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and if not and used in accordance with the instruction manual may cause harmful to radio communications Operation of this equipment in a residential area likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct interference at his own expense Page Information About the BACPac Ethernet Module Ethernet Module Programming and

ASHRAE American Society of Heating Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers F Information About the BACPac Ethernet Module Simplex Model 4100 6069 BACPac Ethernet Module is a microprocessor based device that provides seamless one way communications between a 4100ES Fire Alarm Control Panel FACP and the industry standard Automation and Control Network BACnet The portal acts as a protocol translator the Simplex 4100 Computer Port Protocol and the industry standard BACnet When the BACPac Ethernet Module receives system status messages from the it translates the messages into BACnet Protocol and communicates the information to BACnet devices BACPac can be used with either a stand alone FACP or a 4120 Network of up to 1000 See Figure 1 1 BACPac Ethernet Module Location Within the Control Panel basic BACPac Ethernet Module assembly consists of two modules that consist of electronics of the BACPac Ethernet Module suppressor through which the LAN interface must be connected on

into a 4100ES 4100U 4100 control panel requires separate steps Program the host panel to communicate with the BACPac Ethernet module Configure the host panel to send point information to the BACPac Ethernet module Physically install the BACPac Ethernet module into the system host panel The BACPac Ethernet Module may be installed in a 4100 Legacy Control Panel a 4100U Panel or a 4100ES Control Panels The programmer will be covered in this section Legacy programmer will use the same settings as the 4100U and 4100ES the RS 232 card and the BACPac Ethernet Module ProtoCessor need to be configured for same communications settings Table 4 shows the options available for the RS 232 card Default RS 232 card settings are the preferred recommended settings These must be set in 4100U

Continued 4100 Host Card Settings covered the communications settings above so the image here is a reference only One to stress is USE PORT B not port A Port A was designed to support a service modem as a result it broadcasts a modem startup string when the panel is powered up We have had where the startup string has caused external programs to lockup Port B does not have startup string and is immune to this potential problem With the communication settings click on the Port Data button as seen in Figure 4 Data 4 Port Data button RS 232 card has a number of configuration options for the device type Follow this Configure the RS 232 card for COMPUTER Leave the Port default SET priority at the default of 9 as seen in Figure 5 This will restrict to panel features like Silence Acknowledge and Reset These features will only be from the front panel or on another approved network device like a workstation NDU LCD Annunciator Change the Header and Port ID labels so they indicate BACnet or

tab include three options provide some important features Indicates that you will be using the Computer Port Protocol structure to send receive messages This protocol defines how to structure a message which characters to for the start and finish how to maintain sequence numbers for message and how to calculate where to locate the checksum in the message All of these features help to ensure that no are lost missed and that the mes
