Introduction
This document contains the necessary information you need to incorporate a MicroTech III Applied Air Handling Unit
Controller (i.e. Rooftop or Self-Contained Unit) from McQuay International into a building automation system (BAS). It
lists all BACnet® properties, LONWORKS variables, and corresponding MicroTech III Applied Air Handling Unit Controller
data points. It also contains the BACnet Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS). BACnet and LONWORKS
terms are not defined. Refer to the respective specifications for definitions and details.
Protocol Definitions
The MicroTech III Applied Air Handling Unit Controller can be configured in either an interoperable BACnet or
LONWORKS network. The controller must have the corresponding MicroTech III communication module installed for
network integration (see Reference Document section for corresponding part numbers). There are three MicroTech III
communication modules: BACnet/IP, BACnet MS/TP (Master/Slave Token Passing), and LONWORKS. There are two
LONWORKS modules: one in accordance with the LonMark Space Comfort Controller (General) functional profile and one
in accordance with the Discharge Air Controller functional profile.
BACnet Protocol
BACnet is a standard communication protocol for Building Automation and Control Networks developed by the American
National Standards Institute (ANSI) and American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air-conditioning Engineers
(ASHRAE) specified in ANSI/ASHRAE standard 135-2004. It addresses all aspects of the various systems that are applied
to building control systems. BACnet provides the communication infrastructure needed to integrate products manufactured
by different vendors and to integrate building services that are now independent.
LONWORKS Networks
A control network specification for information exchange built upon the use of LonTalk for transmitting data developed by
the Echelon Corporation.
LonTalk Protocol
A protocol developed and owned by the Echelon Corporation. It describes how information should be transmitted between
devices on a control network.
LonMark Certification
LonMark certification is an official acknowledgement by the LonMark Interoperability Association that a product
communicates using the LonTalk protocol and transmits and receives data per a standard LonMark functional profile. The
MicroTech III LONWORKS communication modules are LonMark 3.4 certified in accordance with the Space Comfort
Controller (SCC) and Discharge Air Controller (DAC) functional profiles.
ED15112 5
Basic Protocol Information
BACnet Networks
Compatibility
The MicroTech III Applied Air Handling Unit Controller conforms to the BACnet Standard (ANSI/ASHRAE 135-2004) as
stated in the Protocol Implementation and Conformance Statement (PICS). See BACnet Protocol Implementation
Conformance Statement on page 87.
BACnet Objects
MicroTech III Applied Air Handling Unit Controllers incorporate standard BACnet object types (i.e., object types defined
in the BACnet Standard) that conform to the BACnet Standard. Each object has properties that control unit variables or data
points. Some object types occur more than once in the MicroTech III Applied Air Handling Unit Controller; each
occurrence or instance has different properties and controls different unit variables or data points. Each instance is
designated with a unique instance index. Some properties can be adjusted (read/write properties, e.g., setpoints) from the
network and others can only be interrogated (read-only properties, e.g., status information).
Each data point accessible from a BACnet network is described with a table that gives the Object Identifier, Property
Identifier, Full BACnet Reference or path, and the Name enumeration of the property.

Object Identifier
Object Identifiers are each designated with an Object type as defined in the BACnet specification. The first column of the
data point definition gives the object type. This object happens to be Return/Exhaust Fan Status (See page 67.)
The object identifier is a property of the object that you can read from the object. The name of the property is
“Object_Identifier” and the property identifier is 75.
Each object in the Air Handling controller has a unique identifier. BACnet object identifiers are two-part numbers of
BACnet Object Identifier data type. The first part identifies the object type (the first 10 bits of the 32-bit BACnet Object
Identifier [See ANSI/ASHRAE 135-2004 BACnet A Data Communication Protocol for Building Automation and Control
Networks]). The first column of the data point definition gives the object type. The second part identifies the instances of
that particular object type (the last 22 bits of the 32-bit BACnet Object Identifier).
The object identifier is shown in the data points listing as two numbers. The first number is shown in the Type ID column
and designates the Object type enumeration. The second number is shown in the Instance column and designates the
instance of that particular object type.
The object identifier is a property of the object that you can read from the object code. The name of the property is
“Object_Identifier” and the property identifier is 75. The ASHRAE BACnet specification reserves the first 128 numbers for
ASHRAE defined objects. Manufacturers may define additional object types and assign a number above 127 as long as they
conform to the requirements of the ASHRAE BACnet specification.
Each object also has a name. Object names are character strings. The object name is a property of the object that you can
read from the object. The name of the property is “Object_Name” and the property identifier is 77.
Objects are sometimes referred to as an object type and instance number as they are in the BACnet specification. The
example object above would be: Binary Output, Instance 1.
Property Identifier
Each object has a number of properties or attributes. Each property has a unique identifier of BACnet Property Identifier
data type. Property identifiers are an enumerated set; a number identifies each member. The Property Identifier enumeration
number is shown in the Property ID column. In the example above the property identifier is 85.
Property Name
Each property also has a unique name. Property names are character strings and shown in the Property Name column. In the
example above the property name is Present Value.
Full Reference
The full reference is the path of the property within the network where the MicroTech III Applied Air Handling Unit
Controller resides. It is a character string equivalent to the object identifier and the property identifier. In the example above
the full reference is <Device Name>.ExhFanState.Present_Value.
Enumerated Values
Some properties are standard data types and some are enumerated sets. If the property value is an enumerated set, all
enumerated values and corresponding meaning are given in the Enumeration column of the data point listing.
ED15112 7
MicroTech III Applied Air Handling Unit Controller Device Object
Each BACnet compatible device must have one and only one BACnet Device Object.
Device Object Identifier
The MicroTech III Applied Air Handling Unit Controller Device Object Identifier uniquely specifies the unit within the
network. The device object type for all devices is fixed by ASHRAE at 8. Therefore the device object instance number must
be unique. The initial Device Object identifier is set at manufacturing. The device object identifier can be read from the unit
controller. The name of the property is “Object_Identifier” and the property identifier is 75.
The initial device object instance number is 1579312. This number must be unique on the entire BACnet network. The
object instance number can be changed via the keypad display. You must cycle power for the change to take effect.
! CAUTION
If another device in the network already has this object identifier (instance number), you must change the instance
number of one device object, so that all devices in the network have a unique device identifier.
Network Considerations
Access to Properties
Object properties are accessible from the network by specifying the device object identifier, object identifier, and the
property identifier. To access a property, you must specify the object identifier including the device object identifier or the
object name including the device object name and the property identifier.
BACnet/IP Addressing
The BACnet/Internet Protocol (BACnet/IP) address of the MicroTech III Applied Air Handling Unit Controller in a
BACnet/IP network consists of the four-octet Internet Protocol address followed by the two-octet UDP (User Datagram
Protocol) port number. The BACnet/IP address is a six-octet value analogous to a MAC address. The IP address portion of
the BACnet/IP address must be unique in the BACnet/IP network segment. The default UDP port number in the MicroTech
III Applied Air Handling Unit Controller is 47808 (BAC0 in hexadecimal).
The device object of the MicroTech III Applied Air Handling Unit Controller contains a Given Internet Protocol Subnet
Mask (Default is 255.255.255.0) and a default Given IP address of 127.0.0.1. The controller does support DHCP (Dynamic
Host Configuration Protocol) IP addressing which is enabled by default.
The keypad/display can be used to configure the BACnet/IP addressing. The keypad will display the current IP address
only when the network is connected.
The MicroTech III Applied Air Handling Unit Controller can be incorporated into a BACnet/IP network dedicated to
BACnet devices only or an Ethernet network shared with BACnet devices and other devices.

LONWORKS Networks
LONWORKS technology, developed by Echelon Corporation, is the basis for LonMark interoperable systems. This
technology is independent of the communications media. The LonMark Interoperable Association has developed standards
for interoperable LONWORKS technology systems. In particular they have published standards for HVAC equipment
including the Discharge Air Controller functional profile and the Space Comfort Controller functional profile. These
profiles specify a number of mandatory and optional standard network variables and standard configuration parameters.
This manual defines these variables and parameters available in the MicroTech III Applied Air Handling Unit Controller.
Compatibility
The MicroTech III Applied Air Handling Unit Controllers with the LONWORKS communications modules operate in
accordance with the Discharge Air Controller (DAC) functional profile and the Space Comfort Controller (SCC) functional
profile of the LonMark Interoperability standard.
LONWORKS Variables
MicroTech III Applied Air Handling Unit Controllers incorporate LONWORKS network variables to access unit data points.
The unit controller uses LONWORKS Standard Network Variable Types (SNVT) from each profile. Some data points can be
adjusted (input network variables, nvi) (read/write attributes, e.g., setpoints) from the network and others can only be
interrogated (output network variables, nvo) (read only attributes, e.g., status information). Configuration variables (nci) are
included with the read/write attributes.
Each data point accessible from a LONWORKS network is described with a table that gives the LONWORKS Name, Profile,
SNVT Type, and SNVT Index. If the variable is a configuration variable the table also includes the SCPT Reference and the
SCPT Index.
SNVT Type
This column gives the name of the standard network variable type from the master list.
SNVT Index
This column gives the number of the standard network variable type from the master list.
SCPT Reference
This column gives the name of the Standard Configuration Parameter Type (SCPT) from the master list.
SCPT Index
This column gives the number of the Standard Configuration Parameter Type (SCPT) from the master list.
Network Considerations
Network Topology
Each MicroTech III LONWORKS Communication Module is equipped with an FTT-10A transceiver for network
communications. This transceiver allows for (1) free topology network wiring schemes using twisted pair (unshielded) cable
and (2) polarity insensitive connections at each node. These features greatly simplify installation and reduce network
commissioning problems. Additional nodes may be added with little regard to existing cable routing.
ED15112 11
Free Topology Networks
A LONWORKS “free topology network“ means that devices (nodes) can be connected to the network in a variety of
geometric configurations. For example, devices can be daisy-chained from one device to the next, connected with stub
cables branching off from a main cable, connected using a tree or star topology, or any of these configurations can be mixed
on the same network as shown in Figure 1. Free topology segments require termination for proper transmission
performance. Only one termination is required. It may be placed anywhere along the segment. Refer to Echelon
LONWORKS FTT-10A Transceiver User’s Guide for further details (see Reference Documents section).
Free topology networks may take on the following topologies:
• Bus
• Ring
• Star
• Mixed - Any combination of Bus, Ring, and Star
Ring Topology

A network segment is any part of the free topology network in which each conductor is electrically continuous. Each of the
four diagrams is a illustration of a network segment. Some applications may require two or more segments; see “Free
Topology Restrictions.” If necessary, segments can be joined with FTT-10A-to-FTT-10A physical layer repeaters. See
Figure 2. Refer to Echelon LONWORKS FTT-10A Transceiver User’s Guide for further details.

Free Topology Restrictions
Although free topology wiring is very flexible, there are restrictions. A summary follows, refer to the Echelon FTT-10A
User’s Guide for details.
1. The maximum number of nodes per segment is 64.
2. The maximum total bus length depends on the wire size:
Wire Size Maximum Node-to-Node Length Maximum Cable Length
24 AWG 820 ft (250 m) 1476 ft (450 m)
22 AWG 1312 ft (400 m) 1640 ft (500 m)
16 AWG 1640 ft (500 m) 1640 ft (500 m)
The longest cable path between any possible pair of nodes on a segment must not exceed the maximum node-to-node
distance. If two or more paths exist between a pair of nodes (e.g., a loop topology), the longest path should be
considered. Note that in a bus topology, the longest node-to-node distance is equal to the total cable length.
a. The total length of all cable in a segment must not exceed the maximum total cable length.
3. One termination is required in each segment. It may be located anywhere along the segment.
Doubly Terminated Networks
You can extend the maximum total cable length without using a repeater by using doubly-terminated network topology. See
Figure 3. The trade-offs are (1) this network topology must be rigorously followed during the installation and subsequent
retrofits and (2) two terminations must be installed at the ends of the bus for proper transmission performance. Refer to
Echelon LONWORKS FTT-10A Transceiver User’s Guide.
Termination Termination
ED15112 13
Device addresses are defined at the time of network configuration. All device addresses have three parts. The first part is the
Domain ID, designating the domain. Devices must be in the same domain in order to communicate with each other. The
second part is the Subnet ID that specifies a collection of up to 127 devices that are on a single channel or a set of channels
connected by repeaters. There may be up to 255 subnets in a domain. The third part is the Node ID that identifies an
individual device within the subnet.
A group is a logical collection of devices within a domain. Groups are assembled with regard for their physical location in
the domain. There may be up to 256 groups in domain. A group address is the address that identifies all devices of the
group. There may be any number of devices in a group when unacknowledged messaging is used. Groups are limited to 64
devices if acknowledged messaging is used.
A broadcast address identifies all devices within a subnet or domain.
LONWORKS network variables for both the Discharge Air Controller and the Space Comfort Controller are defined below.
Variables are used in both the Space Comfort Controller and Discharge Air Controller profiles unless marked otherwise.
Data Integrity
The integrity of some data depends on a valid network connection to maintain current values. The following data points
require a valid network connection if bound. If data points listed in Table 2 do not change after a given time, the controller
reverts to local control. In the case of the LonWorks module, the variables will revert to their default values. The BACnet
variables listed implement priority array. However, they can only be written at priority 8.

Typical Application: Minimum Integration
When you have integrated the unit into your network, you can monitor and control unit operation from your workstation. At
a minimum, you can:
• Display and monitor a minimum of important data points on your workstation display
• Turn the unit on or off from your workstation
• Set the schedule from your workstation and
• Operate the unit safely
This section gives you the basic information and outlines a procedure to set up the unit for network control.

3. On the unit keypad, set the Control Mode function to AUTO. The keypad password (2526) is required to edit this
function. For a detailed description of how to use the keypad, refer to MicroTech III Applied Air Handling Unit
Controller Operation Manual (OM 920).
16 ED15112
Display Important Data Points
Typical workstation displays of MicroTech III Applied Air Handling Unit Controller attributes include the following
significant data points (page number of detailed description in parenthesis). Each data point is identified with a number that
also identifies it in the Comprehensive Data Point Tables. These data points are also shaded in the comprehensive tables so
that you can distinguish them from the rest of the data points in the table. References in the text of this section also identify
these data points with a number and shading.

You can display any number of additional data points based on job requirements or individual preference. See LONWORKS
Variables on page 25 for lists of all LONWORKS Variables available to a LONWORKS network. See BACnet Standard
Objects on page 20 for a list of all Standard BACnet Objects available to a BACnet network. For a more detailed description
of all available data points, see the Detailed Data Point Information section on page 29.
Network Off
The unit can be turned off over the network by writing to the (2) Application Mode (see page 29). Writing AUTO to
Application Mode allows the unit controller to determine its mode of operation based on input conditions. Writing OFF to
Application Mode shuts down the unit, etc.
The Emergency Override Mode Flag (see page 39) can also be used to shut down the unit from the network.
ED15112 17
Alarms
Alarms in a MicroTech III Applied Air Handling Unit Controller are divided into three classes: Faults, Problems, and
Warnings.
• Fault Alarms have the highest priority.
• Problem Alarms have medium priority.
• Warning Alarms have the lowest priority.
Notification
BACnet
MicroTech III Applied Air Handling Unit Controllers may have their alarms monitored by one of four methods: 1)
individually by BACnet Binary Values, 2) Alarm value using one BACnet Analog Value, 3) Alarm class, or 4) Notification
Class.
1. To monitor alarms individually, read the Present_Value of the desired Binary Value object. Each alarm has its own
Binary Value object. If the Present_Value is Inactive (0), the alarm is not active. If the Present_Value is Active (1),
the alarm is active.
2. To monitor alarms by alarm value, read the Present_Value property of the Alarm Value Analog Value object. The
Present_Value displays a value that corresponds to the highest priority alarm that is active. It is possible to have
multiple active alarms, but only the highest priority is displayed. For example, if there is a simultaneous Dirty Filter
Warning (value of 24) and a Freeze Fault (value of 252), then the Freeze Fault value of 252 will display in the
Present_Value because it is the higher priority alarm of the two. Once the Freeze Fault condition is corrected and the
fault is cleared, the next priority active alarm value (in this example, value of 24 for Dirty Filter alarm) is displayed.
The values for all alarms are described in the Alarms section tables. If the Present_Value displays a zero, there are no
active alarms.
3. To monitor alarms by alarm class, read the Present_Value of the appropriate Analog Value object (Warnings, Problems
and Faults). The Present_Value displays a value that corresponds to the highest priority alarm that is active for that
particular alarm class. It is possible to have multiple active alarms, but only the highest priority is displayed.
4. To monitor alarms using the Notification Class object, see the Alarm Notification section.
LONWORKS
MicroTech III Applied Air Handling Unit Controllers may have their alarms monitored by one of two methods: 1) by using
the In_alarm attribute of nvoUnitStatus, or 2) by alarm class.
1. Alarms within MicroTech III Applied Air Handling Unit Controllers can be monitored individually by using the In
Alarm attribute of the Unit Status Network Variable Output (i.e. nvoUnitStatus_in_alarm). This attribute displays a
value that corresponds to the highest priority alarm that is active. It is possible to have multiple active alarms, but only
the highest priority is displayed in this attribute. For example, if there is a simultaneous Dirty Filter Warning (value of
24) and a Freeze Fault (value of 252), then the Freeze Fault value of 252 will display in nvoUnitStatus_in_alarm
because it is the higher priority alarm of the two. Once the Freeze Fault condition is corrected and the fault is cleared,
the next priority active alarm value (in this example, value of 24 for Dirty Filter alarm) is displayed. The values for all
alarms are described in the Alarms section tables. If the attribute nvoUnitStatus_in_alarm displays a zero, there are no
active alarms.
When the nvoUnitStatus_in_alarm attribute reads a value in the range of 1 to 99, a Warning Alarm is active. When the
attribute reads a value in the range of 100 to 199, a Problem Alarm is active. When the attribute reads a value in the
range of 200 to 255, a Fault Alarm is active.
2. To monitor alarms by alarm class, read nvoWarnAlarm, nvoProbAlarm and nvoFaultAlarm. The value corresponds to
the highest priority alarm that is active. It is possible to have multiple active alarms, but only the highest priority is
displayed.
Clearing
BACnet
MicroTech III Applied Air Handling Unit Controllers have one Multi-State Value objects that can be used to clear alarms;
ClearAlarms (See page 81). All alarms of a particular class may be cleared by writing the appropriate value to the Present
Value property of ClearAlarms (2=ClearAllFaults, 3=ClearAllProblems, 4=ClearAllWarnings). All alarms of all three
18 ED15112
classes can be cleared by writing a 5 (ClearAllAlarms) to Present_Value. Once the alarms are cleared, the Present_Value of
this object goes back to None (1).
LONWORKS
MicroTech III Applied Air Handling Unit Controllers have one variable that can be used to clear alarms; nviClearAlarms
(See page 81). All alarms of a particular class may be cleared by writing the appropriate value to nviClearAlarms
(1=ClearAllFaults, 2=ClearAllProblems, 3=ClearAllWarnings). All alarms of all three classes can be cleared by writing a 4
(ClearAllAlarms) to nviClearAlarms. Once the alarms are cleared, this variable goes back to None (0).

Advanced Menus\Network Variables\Net Ec Ena Vl=
This read/write configuration property enables or disables the economizer. This variable only applies if the unit is
configured for a waterside or airside economizer. BACnet must write at priority 8 only.
In BACnet, if EconEnable is 0, then the economizer is disabled. If it is 1 and EconEnaPercent is 0, the economizer is
disabled. If EconEnable is 1 and EconEnaPercent is greater than 0, the economizer is enabled.
The LONWORKS point nviEconEnable has two properties; a State and a Value. When the State = 0, economizer control
through the network is disabled. When State = 1, the Economizer can be controlled through the network. When the Value
= 0 and the State = 1, the economizer is disabled through the LONWORKS network. When the Value is greater than 0 and
the State = 1, the economizer is enabled through the LONWORKS network.

Object Request
Keypad Menu Path No Keypad Equivalent
This input network variable provides the mechanism to request an operation or a mode for a functional block within a
device.
A request consists of an object ID (the object_id field) and an object request (the object_request field). The object ID is the
functional block index for a functional block on the device. The Node Object functional block is index zero. The remaining
functional blocks are numbered sequentially, starting with one.

Object Status
Keypad Menu Path No Keypad Equivalent
This output network variable reports the status for any functional block on a device. It is also used to report the status of the
entire device and all functional blocks on the device. A status update consists of an object ID (the object_id field) and
multiple status fields. The object ID is the functional block index as described under nviRequest. If the object ID is zero,
the status of the device itself and all functional blocks on the device is reported. The status fields are one-bit bitfields. The
only supported status fields are the report_mask, invalid_id, and invalid_request fields; all other status fields are not
supported.
• invalid_request - Set to one if an unsupported request code is received on the nviRequest input network variable.
• invalid_id - Set to one if a request is received for a functional block index that is not defined in the device. No further
checking of the request code is required when set to one.
• report_mask Set to one if an RQ_REPORT_MASK request is received by the nviRequest input network variable,
and the nvoStatus output network variable is set to contain the status mask. The status mask is an nvoStatus value that
describes the status bits that are supported beyond the three mandatory status bits. The status mask consists of all fields
in the nvoStatus output network variable, with the exception of the report_mask, invalid_id, and invalid_request
fields. A one bit in the mask means that the functional block may set the corresponding bit in the nvoStatus output
network variable when the condition defined for that bit occurs. A zero bit means that the functional block may never
set the bit.

This read/write property commands the occupancy function of the MicroTech III Applied Air Handling Unit Controller
when Occupancy Mode is set to Auto (see page 56). It is typically sent by a scheduler or a supervisory node.
SNVT_tod_event is a structure containing three parts.
• Current_state, (required)
• Next_state (optional)
• Time_to_next_state (optional)
This network variable is used in conjunction with Optimal Start. If time_to_next_state is not valid, the MicroTech III
Applied Air Handling Unit Controller uses an internal calculation to determine when the unit will start. Consequently, if
time_to_next_state is valid, the MicroTech III Applied Air Handling Unit Controller uses this time to determine when the
unit will start. This input is used in conjunction with nviOccManCmd (Occupancy Mode) to determine the effective
occupancy mode. Refer to Occupancy Mode on page 56 for more information. BACnet must write at priority 8 only.

In BACnet, if HeatEnable = 0, then the primary heating is disabled. If it HeatEnable = 1 and HeatEnablePct = 0, the
primary heating is disabled. If HeatEnable = 1 and HeatEnablePct is greater than 0, the primary heating is enabled. When
heating is enabled, HeatEnablePct reflects the percentage of heating that is enabled.
The LONWORKS variable nviPriHeatEnable has two properties; a State and a Value. When the State = 0, primary heating
control is disabled through the network. When State = 1, the primary heating can be controlled through the network. When
the Value = 0 and the State = 1, the primary heating is disabled through the LONWORKS network. When the Value is greater
than 0 and the State = 1, the primary heating is enabled through the LONWORKS network.

Alarms
Two methods of obtaining alarm information are available in the MicroTech III Applied Air Unit Controller: 1) by
monitoring individual alarms and 2) by monitoring alarms according to alarm class.
Alarms in a MicroTech III Applied Air Unit Controller are divided into three classes: Faults, Problems, and Warnings. Fault
alarms have the highest priority. Problem alarms have the next priority. Warning alarms have the lowest priority. The
alarms within each class are also prioritized. Refer to the MicroTech III Applied Air Unit Controller Operation Manual (OM
920) for a description of each alarm.
The MicroTech III Applied Air Handling Unit Controller has various ways of managing alarms, depending on the protocol.
Using one of these mechanisms, alarms can be recognized and acknowledged by alarm class or individually, and cleared
from the network by alarm class.

Alarm Monitoring
The MicroTech III Applied Air Handling Unit Controller provides individual alarm identification through a unique value for
each alarm. The value assigned to each alarm is the same for both BACnet and LONMARK applications.
BACnet
MicroTech III Applied Air Handling Unit Controllers may have alarms monitored by one of four methods: 1) individually
by BACnet Binary Value Objects, 2) alarm value using one BACnet Analog Values, 3) alarm class or 4) Notification Class.
1. To monitor alarms individually, read the Present_Value of the desired Binary Value. Each alarm has its own Binary
Value object. If the Present_Value is Inactive (0), the alarm is not active. If the Present_Value is Active (1), the alarm
is active.
2. To monitor alarms by alarm value, read the Present_Value property of the Alarm Value Analog Value object. The
Present_Value displays a value that corresponds to the highest priority alarm that is active. It is possible to have
multiple active alarms, but only the highest priority is displayed. For example, if there is a simultaneous Dirty Filter
Warning (value of 24) and a Freeze Fault (value of 252), then the Freeze Fault value of 252 will display in the
Present_Value because it is the higher priority alarm of the two. Once the Freeze Fault condition is corrected and the
fault is cleared, the next priority active alarm value (in this example, value of 24 for Dirty Filter alarm) is displayed.
The values for all alarms are described in the Alarms section tables. If the Present_Value displays a zero, there are no
active alarms.
3. To monitor alarms by alarm class, read the Present_Value of the appropriate Analog Value object (Warnings, Problems
and faults). The Present_Value displays a value that corresponds to the highest priority alarm that is active. It is
possible to have multiple active alarms, but only the highest priority is displayed.
4. To monitor alarms using the Notification Class object, see the Alarm Notification section.
LONWORKS
MicroTech III Applied Air Handling Unit Controllers may have their alarms monitored by one of two methods: 1) using the
In_alarm attribute of nvoUnitStatus, or 2) alarm class.
1. Alarms within MicroTech III Applied Air Handling Unit Controllers can be monitored individually by using the In
Alarm attribute of the Unit Status Network Variable Output (i.e. nvoUnitStatus_in_alarm). This attribute displays a
value that corresponds to the highest priority alarm that is active. It is possible to have multiple active alarms, but only
the highest priority is displayed in this attribute. For example, if there is a simultaneous Dirty Filter Warning (value of
24) and a Freeze Fault (value of 252), then the Freeze Fault value of 252 will display in nvoUnitStatus_in_alarm
because it is the higher priority alarm of the two. Once the Freeze Fault condition is corrected and the fault is cleared,
the next priority active alarm value (in this example, value of 24 for Dirty Filter alarm) is displayed. The values for all
alarms are described in the Alarms section tables. If the attribute nvoUnitStatus_in_alarm displays a zero, there are no
active alarms.
Alarms may also be monitored by alarm class if desired. When the nvoUnitStatus_in_alarm attribute reads a value in
the range of 1 to 99, a Warning Alarm is active. When the attribute reads a value in the range of 100 to 199, a Problem
Alarm is active. When the attribute reads a value in the range of 200 to 255, a Fault Alarm is active.
2. To monitor alarms by alarm class, read nvoWarnAlarm, nvoProbAlarm and nvoFaultAlarm. The value corresponds to
the highest priority alarm that is active. It is possible to have multiple active alarms, but only the highest priority is
displayed.
ED15112 79
Alarm Notification
The MicroTech III Applied Air Handling Unit Controller has one Notification Class object for alarms and uses intrinsic
reporting which allows the controller to generate event notifications directed to one or more recipients (maximum 20
recipients). You must subscribe to the notification class object in order to use them. The Recipient List property must
indicate when and to which device notification should be made. This is a standard BACnet data type as defined in
ANSI/ASHRAE 135-2004, BACnet A Data Communication Protocol for Building Automation and Control Networks.
The Event_Enable property of each object can be used to separeatly enable and disable reporting of To-OffNormal, To-
Fault, and To-Normal events. For example, if you do not want an event to be generated when the object returns to a normal
state after being in alarm, set the To-Normal bit of the objects Event_Enable property to 0. The table below shows the
objects that support intrisic reporting:

Element Standard BACnet Data Type Description
Recipient BACnet Recipient The destination devices to receive the notification. A
maximum of 20 destination devices is supported.
Process Identifier Unsigned The handle of a process within the recipient device
that is to receive the event notification
Issue Confirmed Notification Boolean (TRUE) if confirmed notifications are to be sent and
(FALSE) if unconfirmed notifications are to be sent
Transitions BACnetEventTransitionBits A set of three flags that indicate the transition (TO-
OFFNORMAL, TO-FAULT, and TO-NORMAL that
the recipient is suitable.
If the BACnet workstation or BACnet device supports intrinsic alarming, but is unable to subscribe to the recipient list
property of the notification class object, the workstation or device can still receive alarm notification by adding its Device
Instance to the “NC Dev 1=”, “NC Dev 2=” or “NC Dev 3=” items on the keypad/display. These items are located on the
IP Setup or MSTP Setup menus. Power must by cycled for changes to these items to take effect. Once power is cycled, the
MicroTech III Applied Air Handling Unit Controller will send out a “Who-Is” command directed at the device. If the
device reponds, the MicroTech III Applied Air Handling Unit Controller will send Unconfirmed Notifications for all alarms
that are generated in the application. If the device does not repond to the Who-Is, the MicroTech III Applied Air Handling
Unit Controller will periodically send out the Who-Is until the device responds.
Alarm Clearing
BACnet
Alarms within MicroTech III Applied Air Handling Unit Controllers can be cleared via BACnet by setting the ClearAlms
variable to value greater than 1. To clear alarms by alarm class, change the Present_Value property to a 2 to clear all faults,
a 3 to clear all problems or a 4 to clear all warnings. Setting this variable to a 5 will clear all alarms in all three alarm
classes. After the alarms are cleared, this variable will return to None (1).
LONWORKS
Alarms within MicroTech III Applied Air Handling Unit Controllers can be cleared by alarm class using nviClearAlarms.
To clear alarms in a particular class, set the value of nviClearAlarms to the appropriate value (1=Clear Faults, 2=Clear
Problems, 3=Clear Warnings & 4=Clear All). If the unit is still in the alarm condition, the In Alarm attribute of the Unit
Status Network Variable Output (nvoUnitStatus.in_alarm) again reads the number corresponding to the highest priority
active alarm that still exists.

BACnet Device Management
The following functions are specific to the BACnet device. These functions are used for maintenance and testing. A network
management tool such as VTS is typically used to issue the network commands.
DeviceCommunicationControl - Disable
The purpose of this command is to reduce network traffic for diagnostic testing of the BACnet network. When the BACnet
Communication module receives a network command to Disable communications it stops communicating information to the
network. An optional time may be specified for how long to suspend communications. The unit continues to operate during
the Disabled state.
DeviceCommunicationControl - Enable
When the BACnet Communication module receives a network command to Enable communications, MicroTech III AHU
communications to BACnet is restored.
ReinitializeDevice (Reset)
When the BACnet Communication module is capable of receiving a network ReinitializeDevice command to reboot itself
(cold start or warm start). The funcationality of a cold and warm start are the same and simple reboot the BACnet
Communication module. No password is required.
