1.3 Setting Port 0 Configuration Jumpers

Before installing the module on the DIN-rail, you must set the jumpers for the

Port 0 application port.

Note: Ethernet-only ProLinx modules do not use the serial port jumper settings. The serial

configuration jumper settings on an Ethernet-only module have no effect.

Note: The presence of Port 0 depends on the specific combination of protocols in your ProLinx

module. If your module does not have a Port 0, the following jumper settings do not apply.

Port 0 is preconfigured for RS-232. You can move the port configuration jumper

on the back of the module to select RS-485 or RS-422.

Note: Some ProLinx modules do not correctly report the position of the port 0 jumper to the Port

Configuration page on the Config/Debug menu. In cases where the reported configuration differs

from the known jumper configuration, the physical configuration of the jumper is correct.

The following illustration shows the jumper positions for Port 0:

1.7 Installing ProSoft Configuration Builder Software

You must install the ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB) software to configure

the gateway. You can always get the newest version of ProSoft Configuration

Builder from the ProSoft Technology website.

Installing ProSoft Configuration Builder from the ProSoft website

1 Open your web browser and navigate to http://www.prosoft-

technology.com/pcb

2 Click the D

when prompted.

4 Save the file to your Windows Desktop, so that you can find it easily when

you have finished downloading.

5 When the download is complete, locate and open the file, and then follow the

instructions on your screen to install the program.

If you do not have access to the Internet, you can install ProSoft Configuration

Builder from the ProSoft Solutions Product CD-ROM, included in the package

with your gateway.

Installing ProSoft Configuration Builder from the Product CD-ROM

1 Insert the ProSoft Solutions Product CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive of your

PC. Wait for the startup screen to appear.

file and follow the instructions on your screen to install the

software on your PC. The information represented by the "*" character in the

file name is the PCB version number and, therefore, subject to change as

new versions of PCB are released.

Note: Many of the configuration and maintenance procedures use files and other utilities on the

CD-ROM. You may wish to copy the files from the Utilities folder on the CD-ROM to a convenient

location on your hard drive.

2 Functional Overview

In This Chapter

 BACnet/IP Client ................................................................................... 16

The ProLinx BACnet Client driver can be used to interface many different

protocols with Ethernet-enabled BACnet devices. The BACnet driver supports a

single UDP Client to interface with one or more devices that contain a BACnet

server.

The driver interfaces with a common internal database in the gateway. This

permits the sharing of data across many different networks. The following

illustration shows the functionality of the BACnet Client driver when interfaced

with serial communication based networks.

The gateway supports a single independent Client on the IP network using the

UDP protocol to interface with processors or devices using a user constructed

command list of up to 100 entries. The gateway's internal database is used as

the source for write commands to the remote units. Data collected from the

remote units using read commands is placed in the gateway's database.

2.1.1 Module Internal Database

The internal database is central to the functionality of the gateway. This database

is shared between all the drivers in the gateway and is used as a conduit to pass

information from one device on one network to one or more devices on another

network. This permits data from devices on one communication port to be viewed

and controlled by devices on another port.

In addition to data from the Client, status and error information generated by the

gateway can also be mapped into the internal database. Use this data to

determine the "health" of the gateway and to determine if commands are being

processed successfully.

BACnet/IP Client Edition 2 Protocol Manual

ProSoft Technology, Inc. Page 17 of 52

November 24, 2010

2.1.2 BACnet/IP Client Access to Database

The Client functionality automatically places data from a BACnet/IP device into

the gateway's internal database using read functions, and writes data from the

gateway's internal database to the remote unit. The Client driver generates the

message to the remote device using the gateway's user-constructed command

list. The command list defined in the user configuration determines what data is

to be transferred between the gateway and the remote units.

The following diagram describes the flow of data between the Client, the internal

database and the remote servers.
