87Appendix C: BACnet integrationPRC-E Series Instruction Manual MN014003EN August 2015 www.eaton.comAppendix C: BACnet integrationOverviewPRC1500E and PRC2000E controllers provide a BACnet/IPintegration path to building automation system, allowing auser to monitor and switch controllable circuit breakers andcontrol fluorescent and LED lighting equipped with 0–10 Vdimming control circuitry from a BACnet controller usingBACnet/IP protocol.The PRC-E controller has been designed for the simplestconfiguration possible in stand-alone circuit breakerpanelboard applications. After the Pow-R-CommandPRC-E circuit breaker panelboard is installed and energized,connect to the panelboard via the provided Ethernet portto obtain all of its configuration and status information.PRC-E controller point types are automatically mapped toBACnet objects as shown in the table below.Table 8 Point Integration into BACnet ProtocolPointType AddressFormat AddressSpace BACnetObject Type FormulaExamplesPRC BACnetFlaggroup xF 1F–64F Binaryvalue x 1F BV-1Breaker x:yB 1:1B–8:42B Binaryoutput 100x + y 2:1B BO-201Digitalinput 1:xI 1:1I–1:8I Binaryinput x 1:1I BI-1Analoginput 1:A 1:1A–1:8A Analoginput x 1:1A AI-1Analogoutput xO 1O–8O Analogoutput x 1O AO-1Configuration and integrationThe BACnet settings of the PRC-E controllers can beedited using the embedded Web pages of the controller,PRC Lighting Optimization Software, or the Color LCDTouchscreen (See LCD programming guide).The BACnet configuration setting available are listed in thetable below.Ethernet Default BACnet DefaultIP address 10.0.222.1 Instance —Netmask 255.255.0.0 Network 1Gateway 10.0.0.1 Port 47808External (LAN) Priority* 13Internal (LAN) Priority* 15The BACnet configuration settings are supplied by theBuilding Automation System integrator.Controller ConnectionIf the system has been commissioned and connected to thebuilding Ethernet backbone, the IP address assigned can beused to access the Web pages from any PC on the networkusing a standard Web browser.If the system has not been connected to the buildingEthernet and commissioned with a static IP, the controllerwill need to be connected to locally using an Ethernetcable to the controller Ethernet network RJ-45 connectoror Maintenance Port RJ-45 connector.Figure 43 PRC-E Ethernet RJ-45 ConnectorsThe Pow-R-Command PRC-E BACnet panelboard isconfigurable via Web interface using a standard Webbrowser from the PRC Ethernet port or Maintenance Port.Connect to the PRC-E controller using either Ethernet orMaintenance Port.Open the Web page of the PRC-E controller by entering itIP address in the chosen Web browser. See “Web PageProgramming” guide for detailed instructions on Ethernetconnections.BACnet settingThe PRC1500E and PRC2000E controllers have nativeBACnet/IP capabilities. The attributes needed for BACnetsystem communication are set using the BACnetconfiguration screen. These setting must be providedby the BACnet integrator.Once connected to the PRC-E controller Web page:Step 1 Click the “System Configuration” tab.Step 2 Click the “BACnet” tab within this Web page.
