Controller Addressing
DIP Switch
Each MicroNet BACnet controller is equipped with a DIP switch for setting the controller’s
MS/TP network address. Once the address is set, the network is properly wired, and all
routers are configured, WorkPlace Tech Tool (WP Tech) and other Schneider Electric tools
will be able to “see” and work with all the networked BACnet devices. For guidance in
assigning a DIP switch setting that will optimize system performance, refer to the WorkPlace
Tech Tool 5.x Engineering Guide Supplement, F-27356.

Note: Support for the MNB-70 is only found in WP Tech Version 5.6 and later (covered in
Revision 2 of F-27356).

Other BACnet Devices

The UNC and other BACnet devices on the network can work with the MicroNet BACnet
controller once they are assigned unique identifiers and names. MicroNet BACnet
controllers are configured in this way through the Commissioning Tool.

Note: The logical addressing of devices (i.e. the assignment of unique identifiers and
names) is not a prerequisite for using Schneider Electric network management tools. It is,
however, a prerequisite for using the UNC and third-party BACnet devices with MicroNet
BACnet controllers.

EOL Termination
If the controller is at the end-of-line on the MS/TP trunk, set termination according to the
MicroNet BACnet Wiring and Networking Practices Guide, F-27360, using an end-of-line
termination resistor kit, 120  ±5%, part number 40-1758.

Precautions General

Warning: Electrical shock hazard! Disconnect power before installing or removing the
cover.

• Follow Static Precautions (below) when installing this equipment.

• Use copper conductors that are suitable for 167°F (75°C).
• Make all connections according to electrical wiring diagram, national and local electrical
codes.

Static Precautions
• Static charges damage electronic components. The microprocessor and associated
circuitry are extremely sensitive to static discharge. Use the following precautions when
installing, servicing, or operating the system.
• Work in a static-free area.
• Discharge static electricity by touching a known, securely grounded object.
• Use a wrist strap connected to earth ground when handling the controller’s printed
circuit board.

Federal Communications Commission (FCC)

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a
commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy, and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a resdential
area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case the user will be required to correct
the interference at his own expense.

Canadian Department of Communications (DOC)

This Class A digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian Interference-Causing
Equipment Regulations.

European Community Directives

This equipment meets all requirements of European Community Directives for
Electromagnetic Compatibility (89/336/EEC).
