APOGEE P2 and BACnet Product Features Order of Implementation
The APOGEE field panel firmware supports the BACnet protocol as follows:
● If both the BACnet and APOGEE protocols have a function, the BACnet function is
implemented.
● If APOGEE provides a function that the BACnet protocol does not support, the
APOGEE function is retained.
This approach to BACnet implementation retains the APOGEE feature set while
providing compatibility with standard BACnet/IP protocol.
TCP/IP Protocol Compatibility
PXC Compact Series controllers with BACnet/IP or Ethernet TCP/IP (P2) ALN provide
the following:
● 100% compatibility with the TCP/IP protocol suite.
● Support of Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and Domain Name
Servers (DNS).
● Support and auto detection of 10Base-T and 100Base-TX Ethernet.
Required IP Addresses
APOGEE BACnet/IP or Ethernet TCP/IP (P2) ALN uses:
● One IP address per device (field panel or workstation).
● One additional shared IP address per ALN for the multicast group (when using
multicast optimization).
Device Registration
Devices register with the DHCP server and Domain Name Server, if either is present.
Address Assignment
IP addresses are dynamically assigned by the DHCP server.
If an address changes or is not recognized, the field panel firmware lets you release
the dynamically assigned IP address and then reconnect the field panel to the DHCP
server, accepting a new IP address assignment in the process.
If there is no DHCP server at the site, you must manually assign static IP addresses as
part of the startup system configuration.
Physical Addressing
Each device on the BACnet/IP or Ethernet TCP/IP (P2) ALN has a hard-wired MAC
address, which is printed on the product label.
Port Numbers
The default TCP/IP port number for APOGEE BACnet/IP or Ethernet TCP/IP (P2) ALN
communications is
5033. You can change the TCP/IP port number if necessary.
NOTE:
All devices on the network must use the same TCP/IP port number.
