A note about BACnet network definitions
Some of the definitions you may know from the CCN world are somewhat different
in the BACnet world. Also, certain MS/TP network terms have no CCN
equivalent.
A CCN Network = an i-Vu Open System
This defines the entire system of controls
A CCN Bus = a MS/TP Network
A MS/TP Network is equivalent to a CCN Secondary Bus. The concept of the
primary and secondary bus does not exist in MS/TP networking
A Node refers to an Addressable Controller
A Physical Segment of an MS/TP network is a contiguous length of medium to
which BACnet addressable controllers (nodes) are attached
A Segment of an MS/TP network is one or more Physical Segments connected by
repeaters

Maximum of 750 Controllers (nodes)
for an entire i-Vu Open System
Maximum of 60 nodes per MS/TP

Each node on the MS/TP network
must have unique MS/TP MAC

BACnet MS/TP Networks
MS/TP Network Design Guidelines
MS/TP is a token passing network, meaning each node on
the MS/TP network can communicate only when it has the
token. The time needed for the token to cycle through the
MS/TP network is dependent on many factors. Follow the
guidelines below to optimize MS/TP network performance.

Communication Wiring Recommendations
The wires are connected correctly to the terminal blocks:
White wire to NET+ (typically, terminal 1 on a controller)
Black wire to NET- (typically, terminal 2 on a controller)
Shield/ground wire to Shield (typically, terminal 3 on a
controller)
NOTE :
1. Communication wire should not touch
the cable’s foil shield, shield wire or
metal surface other than the terminal
block
2. Do not ground the shield to earth
ground or to the controller’s power
ground.

What Is A TERM485
The TERM485 is a 120 ohm, ½ watt resistor that is
attached to the controller at the beginning and the end of
each physical segment to terminate the physical segment
per the BACnet spec.
The TERM485 is installed across the NET+ and NETterminals on the end controllers on each physical
segment.
20
BACnet MS/TP Networks
What Is A BT485?
Push the BT485 onto the
connector located near the
BACnet port on the controller
BT485 has no polarity
associated with it
Verify the LED turns on
Purpose: The BT485 is a device that you attach to the
controller at the beginning and the end of each
physical segment to add bias and to terminate the
physical segment
21
BACnet MS/TP Networks
What is the difference between a BT485 and a Terminating Resistor?
The BT485 provides network bias and termination, the terminating resistor only provides
network termination
What is Network Termination?
Network Termination adds a fixed resistance across the network, improving
communications reliability by suppressing signal reflections and reducing signal
distortion.
What is Network Bias?
Network biasing drives the NET+ and NET- signal wires to a reference voltage (>200mV)
when no device is transmitting.
Network biasing promotes reliable communication on the MS/TP RS485 network.
There should be one biasing device attached at each end of a network segment.
22
BACnet MS/TP Networks
BT485 and Line Terminators – Application Notes
A MS/TP network segment should have either of the following in order or priority:
1. A BT485 at each end (unless the segment is less than 10 feet [3 meters] long) to add bias
and prevent signal distortions.
2. A 1/2 watt, 120 Ohm terminating resistor (Part# TERM485) at each end to prevent signal
distortions
NOTES
• A network should always be installed with some kind of termination.
•The USB Cable used with the i-Vu Open server does not support the BT485. It would therefore
require a 120 ohm terminating resistor if the server is at one end of the network.
•If the network segment contains a third-party device that applies bias to the network, you must do
one of the following:
•Set the third-party device so that it does not apply bias
•Replace BT485's with 120 Ohm terminators
•If a third-party device has its own termination resistance and is located at one end of the network
segment, do not install a BT485 or 120 Ohm terminator at that end of the network segment.
•To attach a 120 Ohm terminator to an i-Vu Open controller, remove the MS/TP bus connector then
attach the terminator across NET+ and NET– terminals. Reconnect MS/TP bus to controller.

What Is A PROT485?
The PROT485 has two
replaceable .5 A fuses
Purpose: It is a surge suppressor, and guards against large
electrical surges on the communications network. It does not
25
count as a network node
BACnet MS/TP Networks
PROT485 Installation and Wiring
Mount at each place where
communication bus enters or
exits the building
Install at least one PROT485
within 250 feet of every
controller
Use the same polarity
throughout the network
segment
Purpose: Protects against large electrical surges on the
communications network

What Is A REP485?
It is a physical layer repeater that can be used to extend the
capacity and/or length of an RS485 MS/TP network
It has two bi-directional isolated ports that can communicate at
baud rates from 1200bps to 156kbps
A network of <2000 feet can have 32 nodes (no repeater
required)
The REP485 is not addressable
30
BACnet MS/TP Networks
Using A REP485 (cont)?
On a network longer than 2,000 feet, place a REP485 after 2,000 feet
regardless of the number of controllers (Segment A)
Each REP485 counts against the 32 nodes/segment rule (Segment B)
On a network with more than 32 controllers, place a REP485 after 32 nodes
regardless of the length of the network (Segment C)

Rules Governing Hybrid Network Layouts
A message from one controller to another controller may not pass through
more than 4 repeaters (same as in a daisy chain)
A branch in a Star network may not have more than 4 physical segments
joined by three repeaters, thus a maximum of 8,000 feet
A physical segment in a Star network must begin with a repeater
A physical segment in a Star network must be terminated at both ends
An MS/TP network using Star network topology is limited to no more than 60
nodes (same as a daisy chain MS/TP network)

MS/TP Best Networking Practices
Use proper cable and the
following principles when
connecting a node to an MS/TP
network.
Connect the shields of the cables
together at each node.
End-of-line termination- each
MS/TP network physical segment
requires end-of-line termination
for proper operation of the
network.
41
BACnet MS/TP Networks
MS/TP Best Networking Practices
Avoid running communications
wiring or sensor input wiring
next to AC power wires or relay
wires.
MS/TP networking cable is
comprised of a single twisted
pair of wires (NET+ and NET-)
and a shield (Alternatives are
listed in the installation guide)
42
BACnet MS/TP Networks
TroubleShooting Tips
43
BACnet MS/TP Networks
Communications Issues related to wiring:
1. Is EOL termination (BT485 or TERM485) installed at
BOTH ends of the physical segment?
2. Are repeaters installed as required?
3. If sharing power, is polarity maintained amongst all the
controllers?
4. Is the shield grounded at one or both ends instead of
being terminated at the controller?
5. If sharing the MS/TP network with 3rd party BACnet
controllers, make sure that these controllers do not have
EOL termination or biasing enabled unnecessarily
(check literature or rep of 3rd party equipment).
44
BACnet MS/TP Networks
Optimizing Performance
1. Follow the max controllers per segment based upon the
selected baud rate.
2. Controllers should follow contiguous addressing starting
at 1.
3. Configure the Max Master and Max Info Frames to suit
the system (set within driver properties of controller)
a. Max Master – the highest addressed controller
would have this set to his address
b. Max Info Frames – specifies how many requests a
controller can make while he has the token. Defaults
for i-Vu Open devices:
a. Routers are set to 50
b. Controllers are set to 10
