3.3 Conguration
After wiring connections have been completed, the Condair Integrated Controller needs to be setup to
operate and communicate through its optional BACnet or LonWorks gateway board. This setup includes
the settings in the "Control Settings" and the "Communication" submenu of the Condair Integrated
Controller unit and the Gateway conguration.
3.3.1 Conguring the Condair Integrated Controller
3.3.1.1 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 "Signal 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 entirely via the network through the optional
BACnet or LonWorks gateway board the "Control Settings" must be adjusted as follows:
1. Close control unit and switch it on.
2. Select "Control Settings" submenu as shown below.
Password: 0335
3. Set control settings as follows (see rightmost screen):
Signal Source: Modbus
System Mode: Humidifying or Cooling (only by ME)
Control Mode: Demand (if you use a external demand control signal)
RH P (if you use a sensor signal and proportional controller)
RH PI (use a sensor value and proportional-integral controller)
Note: see Humidier Operation Manual for details on control settings.

15Network integration via the optional LonWorks and BACnet Gateway boards
3.3.1.2 Monitoring of bus communication
The monitoring of the bus communication described below only takes place if the "Source" parameter
in the "Control Settings" menu is not set to "Analog".
As soon as the signal is transmitted via a BACnet or LonWorks gateway board, communication via the
bus system is also monitored. The control signal must be periodically updated within the time set in
"BMS Timeout".
If the control signal is not updated within the set time, warning "W35 - BMS Timeout" will be triggered
and the humidication will be stopped until a valid signal is returned.
This monitoring is intended to prevent the humidier from humidifying with the last transmitted value in
the event of a bus failure.
Note: The gateway board transfers the control signal to the humidier only if the value changes!

16 Network integration via the optional LonWorks and BACnet Gateway boards
3.3.1.3 BMS Timeout and Modbus settings
To allow the Condair Integrated Controller to be controlled via the BMS through the optional BACnet or
LonWorks gateway board the Condair Integrated Controller must be congured as follows:
1. Switch on control unit (if not already switched on).
2. Select "Communication" submenu as shown below.
Password: 0335
3. Select "BMS Timeout" tab and set BMS Timeout to the desired values:
Factory setting: 300 s
Setting range: 1 - 300 s
4. Select "Modbus Parameter" tab and set Modbus settings as follows (see rightmost screen):
Modbus: Modbus/RTU
Modbus Address: 10
Parity: Even
Baud Rate: 9600
Register Sequence: MSR rst
Important! Please note that the gateway board is communicating with the Integrated Controller of the
device via the Modbus RTU protocol. When using a gateway board the "BACnet" function in the "Con-
guration > Communication" submenu must be deactivated!

18 Network integration via the optional LonWorks and BACnet Gateway boards
3.3.2.2 Congure the IP settings
For BACnet and LonWorks application, an IP address and the subnet mask must be assigned to the
BACnet/LonWorks gateway board in order to access it. The IP address and subnet mask may be as-
signed at the factory or can be modied at any time via the integrated FS-GUI (Fieldserver Graphic User
Interface) of the gateway board.
Ex factory the gateway board is congured to the following default settings:
IP address 10.232.72.172
Subnet mask 255.255.0.0
Default gateway 10.232.72.1
To congure a new IP address, subnet mask and default gateway via the integrated FS-GUI of the
gateway board proceed as follows:
1. Connect the gateway board to a PC using an Ethernet cross-over cable or directly to the network
using a straight cable.
2. Make sure your PC is in the same IP network as the gateway board (default IP settings see table
above); otherwise assign a static IP address (e.g. 10.232.72.100) to your PC.
3. Switch on Condair Integrated Controller unit in order to power up the gateway board.
4. Open your internet browser and enter the IP address of the gateway board (by default ex factory
10.232.72.172), then conrm the entry with the Enter key.
