HyperStat as a BACnet Server

3 Minute Read

| Overview

The HyperStat is part of Carrier's vertically integrated suite of intelligent building solutions, delivering multi-mode sensing, remote monitoring, and individual zone control for the comfort and productivity of building occupants.

With the vision towards platform play and greater interoperability in the building management space, the HyperStat is built and developed in such a way that it can either, work in a Carrier BMS environment connected to Carrier's CCU configured for system and terminal level profiles or can support an external BACnet protocol based BMS as a BACnet server. It can also work as an independent or standalone device that can work as per profiles that can be configured in the HyperStat itself.

The HyperStat when used in a BACnet network provides the capability to the customer, to configure a HyperStat in a BACnet MSTP-based (Master-Slave Token Passing) protocol using the RS 485 bus, and it can work both as master or salve and read and write the data in a certain format in the BMS. With its powerful onboard sensors. HyperStat can be an excellent asset to the BACnet-supported BMS.

| Installation

for more information refer to HyperStat Installation & HyperStat UI.

| Wiring

Below is the wiring schematic followed when HyperStat is used as a BACnet server.

| Wiring Harness

In order to support the basic wiring requirement in a BACnet protocol network, the Carrier supports a type of wiring harness that aids the ability to wire in a Daisy Chain format.

4 Pin to 6 Wire Screw Connector

This uses a 4-pin Molex connector at one end and a 6-wire, screw connector at the other end, you can simply twist the four wires and insert them into the screw slots provided for connection. 

Part Number: 4 Pin to 6 Wire Screw Connector- 7X-WA-C5X-X

| Example Daisy Chaining

With the above wiring format and a BACnet router capable enough to convert the BACnet MSTP to BACnet Ip to communicate with the BACnet protocol-based BMS.

| Jumper Settings

 

Note: If HyperStat is not the end of the RS485 network bus (EOL), remove the TER ISO Jumper, and if the end of the RS485 network bus (EOL) do not remove the TER ISO Jumper.

Post wiring once the device is powered on, you configure HyperStat to act as a BACnet server.
