Note: Metasys controllers ship with switch 128 ON
and the remaining address switches OFF rendering
the controllers wired subordinate devices, which do
not operate on MS/TP buses, but do not interfere
with bus operation. Set a valid and unique device
address on the expansion module before applying
power to the expansion module on the bus.
To set the device addresses on Metasys expansion
modules, complete the following steps:
1. Set all of the switches on the address DIP
switch block (128 through 1) to OFF.
2. Set one or more of the seven address switches
(64 though 1) to ON, so that the sum of the
switch numbers set to ON equals the intended
device address, and ensure that switch 128
remains set to OFF.
Note: To do this, set the highest number switch
that is less than or equal to the intended device
address to ON. Then continue setting lower
numbered switches until the total equals the
intended address. For example, if the intended
device address is 21, set switches 16, 4, and 1 to
ON (16+4+1= 21) and all other switches to OFF.
3. Set a unique and sequential device address
for each of the expansion modules connected
on the SA or FC bus starting with device
address 4.
Note: To ensure the best bus performance,
set sequential device addresses with no gaps
in the device address range (4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and
so on). The expansion modules do not need
to be physically connected on the bus in their
numerical device address order.
4. Write each expansion module's device
address on the white label below the DIP
switch block on the expansion module's
cover.
The following table describes the FC bus and SA
bus device addresses for Johnson Controls MS/
TP communications bus applications.
Table 6: SA/FC bus device address descriptions
Device Address Use on Descriptions
0
(Switch 128 Off)
Reserved for FC Bus Supervisory Controller (not
for use on controllers or expansion modules).
1-3
(Switch 128 Off)
Reserved for peripheral devices (not for use on
controllers or expansion modules).
4-127
(Switch 128 Off)
Used for MSTP master devices (controllers and
expansion modules) that are hardwired to an
SA bus or FC bus.
Removing the expansion module cover
About this task:
Important: Electrostatic discharge can damage
expansion module components. Use proper
electrostatic discharge precautions during
installation, setup, and servicing to avoid damaging
the expansion module.
Important: Disconnect all power sources to
the expansion module before removing cover
and changing the position of any jumper or the
EOL switch on the expansion module. Failure to
disconnect power before changing a jumper or
EOL switch position can result in damage to the
expansion module and void any warranties.
The expansion module cover is held in place by four
plastic latches that extend from the base and snap
into slots on the inside of the housing cover.
To remove the expansion module cover, complete
the following steps:
1. Place your fingernails under the two cover lift
tabs on the sides of the housing cover and
gently pry the top of the cover away from the
base to release the cover from the two upper
latches.
2. Pivot the top of the cover further to release it
from the lower two latches.
3. Replace the cover by placing it squarely over
the base, and then gently and evenly push the
cover on to the latches until they snap into the
latched position.

Setting the End-of-Line (EOL) switch
About this task:
Each expansion module has an EOL switch. When the
EOL switch is set to ON, it sets the expansion module as a
terminating device on the bus. See Figure 11 for the EOL
switch location. The default EOL switch position is OFF.
