15Network integration via BACnet on-board
– Foreign Device: With this setting, you determine whether the device logs
in to an external BACnet IP Broadcast Management Device (BBMD) ("On")
so that it can receive broadcast messages (messages to all participants)
on the IP network or not ("Off ").
Note: In an IP network, routers generally block broadcast messages
(messages to all participants) to reduce trafc. This prevents a BACnet
IP device from being detected via the "Who-is" service, or to answer via
the "I-Am" service. In order for the BACnet IP broadcast messages to
be forwarded to other network segments anyway, a BBMD (BACnet IP
Broadcast Management Device) is required. These devices integrated into
the IP network forward BACnet IP broadcast messages to other network
segments. Only one BBMD may be integrated per network segment.
Factory setting: Off
Options: Off or On
– BBMD IP Address: With this setting, you specify the IP address of the
external BBMD to which the device should log on.

3.3.3 Signal settings and monitoring of bus communication
3.3.3.1 Setup control settings
By default the Condair Integrated Controller is congured to operate on a hardwired analog control signal
from an external humidity controller or a humidity sensor (if internal P or PI controller is used) connected
to the driver board inside the control unit.
Note: If you want the Condair Integrated Controller to be controlled via a hardwired analog control signal
set "Source" to "Analog" and set the other control settings as required (see "Operation Manual" of the
corresponding device for details).
If you want to control the Condair Integrated Controller via one of the integrated BACnet on-board inter-
faces the "Signal Settings" must be adjusted as follows.
Select "Signal Settings" (Path: "Menu > Password: 8808 > Controls > Signal Settings"). The setting
parameters for the signal transmission appear.

18 Network integration via BACnet on-board
3.3.3.2 Monitoring of bus communication
The monitoring of the bus communication described below only takes place if the "Source" parameter
in the "Signal Settings" submenu is not set to "Analog" (siehe Section 3.3.3.1).
As soon as the control signal (demand or humidity signal) is transmitted via the BACnet IP or BACnet
MS/TP bus system, communication via the bus system is also monitored.
The control signal must be periodically updated within the time set in "Signal Timeout".
If the control signal is not updated within the set time, warning "W35 - Signal Timeout" will be triggered
and the humidication will be stopped until the device receives an updated value.
This monitoring is intended to prevent the humidier from humidifying with the last transmitted value in
the event of a bus failure.
