Setup For ProtoNode
Record Identification Data
Each ProtoNode has a unique part number located on the side or the back of the unit. This number should be
recorded, as it may be required for technical support. The numbers are as follows:
FPC-N54 units have the following 3 ports: RS-485 + Ethernet + RS-485/RS-232.
Point Count Capacity
The total number of registers presented the device attached to the ProtoNode cannot exceed:
Configuring Device Configurations
•The connected serial device MUST have the same baud rate, data bits, stop bits, and parity settings as the
ProtoNode
•To set the ProtoNode’s COM settings, see “Select Field Protocol and Set Configuration Parameters” on
page 15.
•Table 3 specifies the device serial port settings required to communicate with the ProtoNode.

Interfacing ProtoNode to Devices Device Connections to ProtoNode
RS-485 NETWORK
The ProtoNode has a 3-pin Phoenix connector for connecting RS-485 devices on the R2 port (see Figure 4).
Use standard grounding principles for RS-485 ground.
Figure 4. RS-485 Connections from Devices to the ProtoNode R2 Port
BIAS RESISTORS
The ProtoNode bias resistors are used to keep the RS-485 bus to a known state, when there is no transmission
on the line (bus is idling), to help prevent false bits of data from being detected. The bias resistors typically pull
one line high and the other low - far away from the decision point of the logic.
The bias resistor is 510 ohms which is in line with the BACnet spec. It should only be enabled at one point on the
bus (for example, on the field port were there are very weak bias resistors of 100k). Since there are no jumpers,
many gateways can be put on the network without running into the bias resistor limit which is < 500 ohms.
To enable Bias Resistors, move both the BIAS- and BIAS+ dip switches to the right as shown in Figure 5.

TERMINATION RESISTOR
If the ProtoNode is the last device on the serial trunk, then the End-Of-Line Termination Switch needs to be
enabled. To enable the Termination Resistor, move the TERM dip switch to the right as shown in Figure 6.
Termination resistor is also used to reduce noise. It pulls the two lines of an idle bus together. However, the
resistor would override the effect of any bias resistors if connected.
