This Manual is designed to be used and read in conjunction with the CenCon User Manual. A digital printable copy of all manuals can be found at https://www.engineeredair.com/manuals/
The CenCon is a configurable logic controller designed to be the primary controller of Engineered Air heating, cooling and ventilation equipment. This manual should be used in conjunction with the CenCon operation manual. The CenCon is designed to control the cooling, heating, and mixing economizer. In this manual, the primary setpoint and sensor refer to the final leaving temperature. All temperature register readings are based on degrees Fahrenheit. Conversion to degrees Celsius can be accomplished at the front end software.
The CenCon is equipped with two RS485 ports equipped for Modbus RTU the BACnet® MS/TP protocols and an Ethernet port equipped for the BACnet® TCP/IP protocol. This manual describes the BACnet® objects and the information contained in each object. In this manual, BACnet® objects that can be written to are said to be EMS (Energy Management System) commanded, identified by R/W (Read/ Write).

INTRODUCTION

The CenCon supports Modbus RTU, BACnet MS/TP RS-485 and BACnet/IP. The Baud rate is fixed at 19200 for Modbus RTU networks and can be adjusted from 19200 to 38400 for MS/TP networks. This manual describes the BACnet objects and the information contained in the CenCon. In this manual object points that can be written to are said to be EMS (Energy Management System) commanded.
Wiring
The CenCon can be connected to either an RS-485 network or a to an Ethernet/IP network. The BACnet MS/TP RS-485, & BACnet/IP communication cables must conform to BACnet specifications.
RS485
The CenCon has a gray terminal strip that is used for all RS-485 communication connections.
Terminals SmA and SmB have been designated and must be used to connect to the RS-485 Modbus network terminals.
Terminals BnA and BnB have been designated and must be used to connect to the RS-485 BACnet network.
The RS-485 communication cable to the CenCon should be a 24awg shielded twisted pair (STP) with a shunt capacitance of 16pF per foot and 100 ohm characteristic impedance.
Ethernet
The CenCon is equipped with a standard RJ45 Ethernet port located on the top of the controller. The Ethernet port is designed to be incorporated with a BACnet® over IP network that is used to communicate with the building EMS.
BACnet Communication Default Factory Settings
These default settings can be configured on the CenCon service display.=
Modbus RTU

BACnet MSTP

BACnet IP

Note:
After making any changes to the default communication setting you must cycle the power to the controller to reset it and force the updates.
PICS & BTL Approved
BACnet PICS (Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement) defines the options available by BACnet that are implemented in the CenCon. These PICS are available from the factory upon request. The following defines the BACnet objects available on the network. EMS is used to describe the objects that can be commanded by any 3rd party ‘Energy Management System’.
