4. What is the BCI-C? • BACnet Communication Interface for Chillers • RTWD/RTUD release date: October 20th • CGAM release date: October 20th • RTHD release date: November 20th • RTAC release date: November 20th • Other CH530 based chillers in the future

5. BACnet Overview • Open Protocol regulated by ASHRAE standard 135 • Typically communicated over IP or MSTP • BCI-C uses BACnet MSTP • Common Objects • *Inputs (Analog/Binary/Multi-state) • *Outputs (Analog/Binary/Multi-state) • Values (Analog/Binary/Multi-state) *Objects in BCI-C

6. BACnet Addressing TermsMAC Address vs. Device ID MAC – Media Access Control • MAC Address • The controller’s address on the MS/TP link • Set using the 3 rotary switches • Valid range: 1-120 • Rule: unique per link • Best practice: start at 1, be sequential and no gaps • Device ID • The controller’s address on the BACnet network • Must be unique across the entire BACnet network • Valid range: 1-4194302

7. Set the BACnet MS/TP Addressof a Tracer UC400 • Set rotary switches to a valid address (1 - 120) • Rule: Rotary address must be unique per BACnet MSTP link MAC Address

8. Tools for Installation/Replacement • 3.5 mm (1/8 inch) Flat Blade Screwdriver • Tracer TU (Version 3.0 or higher) or BACnet Setup Tool • TechView (Version 12.1 SP2 or higher) • CH530 MP Software (available with TV 12.1 SP2) • RTWD/RTUD 6.30 or higher • RTHD 12.0 or higher • RTAC 37.0 or higher • CGAM 2.00 or higher

9. Installing the BCI-C • Factory Installed • Connect BACnet link to port labeled Link • Connect Tracer TU or BACnet Setup Tool • Set the following parameters by getting information from your customer/integrator • Controller name • Baud rate • Engineering units • Device ID

10. BCI-C replacement • Remove the old BCI-C • Snap the BCI-C on the DIN Rail • Connect the chiller bus to the IMC port • Connect the comm. link to port labeled “Link” • Set rotary addresses to the same as old controller • Connect Tracer TU or BACnet Setup Tool and set • Controller name • Baud rate • Engineering units • Device ID • Connect KestrelView • Bind BCI-C into CH530 • Navigate to “Unit View” • Verify communication with BAS

11. Tracer TU/BACnet Setup Tool Configuration • Connect • Navigate to Controller Settings • Set: • Date/Time* • Controller Name • Units of Measure (VERY IMPORTANT) • BAUD Rate • BACnet Device ID * Only available in Tracer TU

14. TechView/KestrelView Configuration • Connect • Navigate to Configuration View, Options Tab • Choose BACnet for BAS Interface • Navigate to Binding View • Select BACnet BCI-C • When prompted push the SERVICE button on BCI-C • Click OK

15. 4000 Feet (1219 M) BACnet MS/TP Link Rules Trane BACnet Terminator (TBT) Trane BACnet Terminator (TBT) 60 Devices Max per Link Not Including System Controller BACnet Wiring Guide: BAS-SVN03A-EN

16. BACnet MS/TP Link Rules Shield Drain Wire Maintain Polarity in Daisy Chain Connection Use 18 AWG Shielded Twisted Pair Shield Terminated Only at System Controller Same Baud Rate on Each Controller

17. 24 VAC/VDC Power BACnet MS/TP Link Trane BACnet Terminator The Trane BACnet Terminator (TBT) • Provides end of line termination resistance • Provides network biasing (per BACnet) • Install one at each end of the link TBT Installation Guide: X39641151-01B

18. BCI-C BACnet Objects • When the BCI-C is installed it interrogates the CH530 and creates all objects associated with the chiller configuration • Does not create an object if the option is not installed • Does not require any programming of objects • Object list is described in BAS-SVP05 • Integration Guide BACnet™ Communication Interface for Chiller (BCI-C) • Literature available in litweb chiller directory

19. Alarming with BCI-C • BI23 Alarm Present • Notification Class: HVAC-Information • BI24 Shutdown Alarm Present • Notification Class: HVAC-Critical • BI25 Last Diagnostic • Indicates the last diagnostic in the Active Text These points are always present. To use BACnet services for alarm notification the 3rd party must subscribe to the notification classes of the BCI-C

20. Available Resources • Literature available in litweb chiller directory: • Integration Guide (objects list, PICS, etc…) • BAS-SVP05 • Field Kit Installation Guide (step by step directions for replacement) • RF-SVN02 • The following literature is available on BCI-C page on Trane.com • Product Data Sheet • BAS-PRC038 • Overnight Expert • PICS (also included in BAS-SVP05) • BAS-PRG007 • Applications Guide, Air Systems for Tracer SC • BAS-APG007-EN - pages 144 through 149

21. What to expect • Units Conversion • BCI-C defaults to SI units. Use the BACnet Setup Tool to change engineering units. • IP vs. MSTP • If an IP connection is required we recommend the PolarSoft Free Range Router • Data List • Described in BAS-SVP05 • Standard Link Troubleshooting Questions
