Tier 2 wiring
Use shielded cable and the following principles when connecting the KMD-5551E translator
to a Tier 2 network:
lUse twisted pair, shielded cable with capacitance of no more than 51 picofarads per
foot for all network wiring. Belden cable model #82760 meets the cable requirements.
lConnect the -A terminal in parallel with all other A or -A terminals.
lConnect the -B terminal in parallel with all other B or +B terminals.
lConnect the shields of the cables together at each controller.
lConnect the shield to an earth ground at one end only.
lUse a KMD-5575 repeater if the cable length will exceed 4,000 feet (1,220 meters). Use
no more than seven repeaters per Tier 2 network.
lPlace a KMD-5567 surge suppressor in the cable where it exits a building.

End of segment
Middle of segment
EOL (End-Of-Line) termination switches
The devices on the physical ends of the Tier 2 wiring segment must have end-of-line
termination added for proper network operation.
lIf the translator is at the end of the network segment, set the EOL switch to ON.
lIf the translator is in the middle of the network segment, set the EOL switch to OFF.
Connecting power
Power the KMD-5551E translator from a 24 volt power source, either AC or DC, or from a USB
connection. The translator begins to operate when a power source is applied. Use the
following guidelines when choosing and wiring sources to the translator.
Section 1: Introduction KMC Controls, Inc.
10 Revision B

For USB power Connect the translator to a powered USB port with a USB A to USB micro B
cable. Typically the USB ports on laptop computers can supply power to the router. When
connecting to a USB hub, verify the power specifications of the hub. See the topic
Specifications on page 5.
Illustration 1–4 USB connection
USB power
Note: When using USB connection for power and communications, use the USB cable from the
HPO-5551 Technician's Router Cable Kit. The cable from the kit is specified to supply
enough power for both the USB and the network connection.
To use the USB for power and network communications, see the topic Single-cable
connection on page 12.
For permanent installations, the translator is usually powered from a 24 volt transformer or
DC power supply.
Illustration 1–5 24 volt power connections
24 volts AC 24 volts DC
For 24 volt AC power Connect a 24 volt transformer to the black power terminal block on the
end of the translator.
lConnect the AC phase to the phase terminal .
lConnect the ground side of the transformer to the ground terminal .
lUse a Class2 transformer of the appropriate size to supply power to the translator.
lKMC Controls recommends powering the translator from a dedicated transformer.
lDo not run 24 volt power from within an enclosure to external devices.

lKMC Controls recommends powering the translator from a dedicated power supply.
lDo not run 24 volt power from within an enclosure to external devices.
Single-cable connection
The single-cable connection method connects the KMD-5551E translator to a computer with
a USB cable that supplies both power and communications. The USB port becomes a virtual
network interface card (NIC) and establishes a network between the computer and the
translator.
Note: Use the USB cable from the HPO-5551 Router Technician's Cable kit for a single cable
connection. This cable meets the specification to supply the power and communications
required by the translator. Other cables may prevent routing on one or more ports.
Illustration 1–6 Single-cable connection
Computer with
browser
To set up a single-cable connection, do the following:
1Plug the USB cable from the HPO-5551 cable kit into the translator.
2Plug the other end of the USB cable into the computer.
Depending on the version of Windows, the first time the translator is plugged into a
computer, Windows will display a message that it is installing a new driver. Click on the
message to see more details. Note the name of the device in the message because
you will need this information in later steps. Allow the installation to finish and then
close the dialog.
3From the Windows Control Panel, click Network and Internet and then Networking
Sharing Center.
4Once the center is open, click Change Adaptor Settings.
5Identify the Local Area Connection that is associated with the translator and click it to
open the connection.
Section 1: Introduction KMC Controls, Inc.
12 Revision B

6In the Local Area Connection status, click Properties.
7When the next dialog opens, choose Internet Protocol Version 4 and then click
Properties.
8In the Properties dialog, select Use the following IPaddress and then enter a unique
IPaddress and subnet mask.
lThe IP address must be unique and be part of the same subnet as the translator’s
address.
lIf the translator is still configured with the default address, use 192.168.1.252.
lSet the subnet mask to 255.255.0.0.
9When finished, click OK to save the work and then close all dialog boxes.
To test the connection, open a browser window and enter the address of the translator.
When the log in page opens, set up the translator as described in the topic Setting up
translation on page 33.

Secti on 2: Transl ation concepts
This section explains the basics of translation, shows example networks, and explains the
rules for translation.
The KMD-5551E translator connects between one or more KMDigital controllers and a
BACnet internetwork. The translator polls designated KMDigital controllers and adds them
as BACnet devices to a virtual BACnet network. The BACnet routing within the translator
makes the virtual network and devices available to any other device or operator workstation
on the internetwork. The devices on the virtual network can then be discovered and
manipulated within the Niagara frameworks as standard BACnet devices and objects.

Translation rules
The KMD-5551E translator supports one Tier 1 controller and the controllers on one Tier 2
network. The Tier 2 network does not have to be connected to the Tier 1 controller.
lKMDigital input, output, and variable points are translated as BACnet input, output, and
value objects.
lDigital KMD points are translated to binary objects.
lAnalog KMD points are translated to analog objects.
lKMD analog input points with Counts selected as units are translated as BACnet
accumulator objects.
lLabels and descriptions in KMD points are translated as BACnet name and description
properties.
At power-up or reset, the translator scans for devices on the designated KMD networks. For
large networks the translator may take up to an hour to discover all devices and objects.
KMD-5551E Translator
Revision B 15

After the initial discovery, the translator automatically scans once an hour for new devices or
changes. To start an immediate rediscovery, see the topic KMD Subnet Device Configuration
page on page 40.
KMD to BACnet translation
lFor KMD output and variable points not set to Manual, the value of the point is
transferred to the Relinquish Default property of a BACnet output or value object.
lFor KMD output and variable points set to Manual, the value of the point is transferred
to Priority 8 in the Priority Array of a BACnet output or value object.
lValues for KMD input points are transferred to the Present Value of a BACnet input
object.
lKMD input points set to Manual status are transferred to a BACnet input object as Out
Of Service.
lWhen reading a property, values may be cached for up to 30 seconds.
BACnet to KMD translation
lChanging the BACnet Present Value property at any priority level transfers directly to
the value of the KMD point and the point is set to Manual.
lChanging an Input Object to Out of Service changes the KMD point to Manual.
lValues are cached for up to 30 seconds.
