What is a i-Vu® Open Link?
The i-Vu® Open Link is a BACnet device router that acts as a gateway between the BACnet IP network and a
BACnet MS/TP network. The i-Vu® Open Link increases the capacity of an Open system, allowing individual MS/TP
networks (with up to 60 Open controllers each) to be connected via a common BACnet/IP backbone.
The i-Vu® Open Link can also integrate third-party equipment, supporting BACnet MS/TP, BACnet/IP, Modbus
RTU, Modbus/IP, and LON FT-10 protocols. The i-Vu® Open Link has one EIA-485 port for connecting to the Open
or third-party MS/TP bus, and one jumper-configurable EIA-232/EIA-485 port for connecting to a Modbus or
LonWorks network. It also has one 10/100 Base-T Ethernet port for connecting to the building LAN and integrating
to third-party IP control networks.

Wiring the i-Vu® Open Link for power
WARNING Do not apply line voltage (mains voltage) to the controller's ports and terminals.
CAUTIONS
•The i-Vu® Open Link is powered by a Class 2 power source. Take appropriate isolation measures when
mounting it in a control panel where non-Class 2 circuits are present.
•Carrier controllers can share a power supply as long as you:
•Maintain the same polarity.
○Use the power supply only for Carrier controllers.
To wire for power
1 Make sure the i-Vu® Open Link’s power switch is in the OFF position to prevent it from powering up before
you can verify the correct voltage.
2 Remove power from the power supply.
3 Pull the screw terminal connector from the controller's power terminals labeled 24 Vac/Vdc and Ground.
4 Connect the transformer wires to the screw terminal connector.
5 Apply power to the power supply.
6 Measure the voltage at the i-Vu® Open Link’s power input terminals to verify that the voltage is within the
operating range of 21.6 – 26.4 Vac or 23.4 - 28.6 Vdc.
7 Insert the screw terminal connector into the i-Vu® Open Link's power terminals.
8 Turn on the i-Vu® Open Link's power.
9 Verify that the Run LED (a dot in the lower right corner of the Module Status LED) begins blinking. The Module
Status LED will display 8 for about 5 seconds and then reverts to 0, until controllers have been found and
downloaded. There is a chase pattern when the controller is running with no errors.
Addressing the i-Vu® Open Link
i-Vu Open Control hardware, when used in conjunction with i-Vu Open routers (i-Vu® Open Link and i-Vu® Open
Router), has a convenient feature of automatic addressing. To address the i-Vu® Open Link for third-party
integration, using i-Vu® or Field Assistant, go to Driver Properties > Protocols > Properties tab. Refer to the
appropriate protocol Integration Guide for further details.

Notes
A router address
Open network
You set the i-Vu® Open Link address on the controller's
rotary switches. (1 - 99)
NOTE The i-Vu® Open Link address is also used to auto-
generate the BACnet device instance/name for the router
and the MS/TP network number for the connected Open
network. See Configuring BACnet device instance and
network number.
An IP address
IP Network
Set the IP Addr DIP switch to choose one of the following:
•DHCP — to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server
If there is no DHCP server, the following are the default
IP settings:
○192.168.168.xx, where xx = router address
○subnet mask = 255.255.255.0
○default gateway = 192.168.168.254
•Assigned — a custom IP address
To set the i-Vu® Open Link address on the Open network
CAUTION The i-Vu® Open Link address must be unique on the IP and Open network.
1 If wired for power, turn off the controller's power.
The controller only reads the rotary switch positions during power up or upon reset.
2 Use the rotary switches to set the address. Set the Tens (10's) switch to the tens digit of the address, and set
the Ones (1's) switch to the ones digit. Valid addresses are 1 - 99.
EXAMPLE If the controller’s address is 25, point the arrow on the Tens (10's) switch to 2 and the arrow on
the Ones (1's) switch to 5.

To choose an IP addressing scheme
Carefully plan your addressing scheme to avoid duplicate IP addresses.
•If there is a DHCP server on the network, and, if you have a single i-Vu® Open Link or multiple i-Vu® Open
Links that exist on the SAME subnet, use DHCP addressing. Skip to the section To obtain an IP address using
DHCP (page 7).
•If you have multiple i-Vu® Open Links that reside on different subnets, you cannot use DHCP addressing.
Instead, give each i-Vu® Open Link an assigned IP address. Skip to the section To assign a custom IP
address (page 7).
NOTE This network configuration also requires that you configure IP Broadcast Management Devices
(BBMDs). See To set up BACnet Broadcast Management Devices. (page 17)
To obtain an IP address using DHCP
1 Turn the i-Vu® Open Link's power off.
2 Set the IP Addr DIP switch DHCP to On.
3 Turn the i-Vu® Open Link's power on. The DHCP server assigns an IP address to the i-Vu® Open Link.
CAUTION If the DHCP server is not found, the following default IP address settings will be used:
•IP address = 192.168.168.xx, where xx = i-Vu® Open Link address (rotary switch settings)
•Subnet Mask = 255.255.255.0
•Default Gateway = 192.168.168.254
To assign a custom IP address
1 Obtain the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway address for the controller from the facility network
administrator.
2 Turn the i-Vu® Open Link's power off.
3 Set the i-Vu® Open Link's IP Addr DIP switch Assigned to On.
4 Configure the i-Vu® Open Link by setting the Router Config Mode DIP switch Console to On using a terminal
program such as PuTTY or Hyperterminal.
5 Turn the i-Vu® Open Link's power on.

NOTES
•If you cannot determine the media type or connections of the third-party device, contact your third-party
representative.
•Use the same polarity throughout the network segment.
•Repeaters are required for more than 31 devices. See your third-party device manufacturer's
recommendations.
•To reduce communication and data errors, terminate each end of an EIA-485 network with a resistor whose
value equals the network's characteristic impedance. Some third-party manufacturers provide a built-in
resistor that you enable or disable with a jumper. Make sure that only devices at the end of a network have
termination enabled.
EXAMPLE If an EIA-485 2-wire network's characteristic impedance is 120 Ohms, terminate one pair by
placing a 120 Ohm resistor across the Net+ and NET-connectors of the i-Vu® Open Link. Terminate the other
pair by placing a 120 Ohm resistor across the + and -connectors of the furthest third-party controller.
•A solid receive light on the i-Vu® Open Link indicates a wiring or polarity problem.
Communicating through the Local Access port with a USB Link
Using a computer and a USB Link, you can communicate locally with the i-Vu® Open Link to download or to
troubleshoot.
CAUTIONS
•Maintain polarity when controllers share power.
•Failure to maintain polarity while using the USB Link on a computer that is grounded via its AC adapter may
damage the USB Link and the controller.
•If multiple controllers share power but polarity was not maintained when they were wired, the difference
between the controller's ground and the computer's AC power ground could damage the USB Link and the
controller. If you are not sure of the wiring polarity, use a USB isolator between the computer and the USB
Link. Purchase a USB isolator online from a third-party manufacturer. Plug the isolator into your computer's
USB port, and then plug the USB Link cable into the isolator.
PREREQUISITES
•For the i-Vu® or Field Assistant application to communicate with the controller, the controller must have been
downloaded with at least its driver.
•Laptop with USB port

Configuring BACnet Device Instance and network number
All BACnet Open controllers must have a unique Device Instance and Name. These BACnet addresses are
automatically generated and usually do not require modification. However, sometimes you need to override the
automatic addressing assignments.
Autogenerated addressing scheme:
The i-Vu® Open Link's rotary address setting determines the automatic BACnet addressing scheme for the
connected Open network.
Legend
16 = Carrier's BACnet Vendor ID
xx = i-Vu® Open Link's rotary switch address (BACnet Device Instance address)
yy = Open controller's rotary switch address (MS/TP MAC address)
For the i-Vu® Open Link:
•BACnet Device Instance Number = 1600xx
•BACnet Device Instance Name = device1600xx
•BACnet IP Network Number = 1600
•BACnet MS/TP Network Number = 161xx
•BACnet ARC156 Network Number = 163xx
•Port S1 MS/TP MAC Address = 0 (fixed)

For the Open controllers connected to the i-Vu® Open Link
•BACnet MS/TP Device Instance Number = 161xxyy
•BACnet ARC156 Device Instance Number = 163xxyy
•BACnet MS/TP Device Instance Name = device161xxyy
•BACnet ARC156 Device Instance Name = device163xxyy
•BACnet MS/TP or ARC156 MAC Address = yy
•BACnet MS/TP Network Number = 161xx (learned from the router, defaults to 16101 if no i-Vu® Open Link is
operating)
If the BACnet automatic settings need to be changed, launch the Router Configuration utility using a terminal
program. See To assign a custom IP address for instructions on connecting to and using a terminal program.
To change the BACnet settings:
1 Enter the BACnet selection# from the menu. Type the new setting and click Enter. The new setting will appear
on the Router Configuration screen.
2 Cycle power to the router for the new settings to take effect.
NOTE If the BACnet MS/TP or ARC156 network number of the router is assigned and not auto-generated,
and the Open controllers connected to that router are set such that their BACnet settings are auto-generated,
then the Open controller BACnet settings will be auto-generated based on the assigned MS/TP network
number in the router:
Example A router's BACnet MS/TP or ARC156 network has been assigned to 200.
If the connected Open controllers are using autogenerate, then their settings will be:
BACnet MS/TP Network Number = 200
BACnet Device Instance Number = 200yy
BACnet Device Instance Name = device200yy
BACnet MS/TP MAC Address = yy
