PC data port
The NetSensor is equipped with a PC data port located at the bottom
of the NetSensor housing. This port provides a temporary connection
for setup or troubleshooting to either KMD Tier 2 or BACnet MS/TP
networks.
To use the port to connect to a computer, use one of the following
connection methods. The exact connection depends on the computer
and the operator workstation software (see also the instructions
included with those devices and software):
◆For a USB connection with either WinControl or BACstage, use a
KMD-5576 USB Communicator (see the illustration above).
◆For a serial port connection to BACstage, use a third-party
interface.
◆For serial port connection to WinControl, use a KMD-5559
CommTalk and KMD-5624 cable.
To use the PC data port:
1. Connect the keyed, flat end of the KMD-5624 NetSensor
interface cable to the port on the NetSensor. The KMD-5624
cable is included with the KMD-5576 but not the KMD-5559.
2. Connect the RJ-12 end of the cable to the interface device that
converts the EIA-485 signal from the NetSensor into a USB or
EIA-232 signal.
3. Connect the suitable cable from the interface device to the
computer’s serial or USB port. Install any required software and
configure the port as necessary.
