The BACnet MS/TP MAC Layer Status expanded window now displays the status of MS/TP packets as they are being exchanged between the BCM Configuration Tool, the BACnet Communication Module, and any other BACnet MS/TP Devices on the network. It is recommended that you use the BACnet MS/TP MAC Layer Status for diagnostic purposes only because it can impact BACnet MS/TP operation, especially at higher baud rates. Note: Minimize the BACnet MS/TP Layer Select during an image upload. Figure 12. MS/TP MAC Layer Status Expanded Window 28 IM 906

29 Troubleshooting Guide Table 10 below summarizes several potential problems and corresponding solutions. Contact the McQuay Controls Customer Support group at 866-4McQuay for additional assistance. Table 10: Common Problems and Solutions Error/Condition Problem Solution You are unable to read/write to the Chiller Unit Controller via the BACnet Communication Module. Cannot change the Device Instance When selecting MS/TP for the MAC Layer Selection, you get a series of three errors including: Error: [5] Access is denied., MS/TP Init Failed (-306) and BACLIBinit failed. When using the Configuration Tool, you get a?write Error [- 111]?: Timeout at MS/TP Station Address error when trying to modify the MS/TP Station Address. This can be due to several reasons such as wiring or setup. The Device Instance Write property is disabled. The serial port is already in use by another program or the Configuration Tool is trying to use a serial port that is not present or working. This could mean that you are trying to write an MS/TP Station Address that already exists. Verify the BACnet Communication Module is installed correctly and the LEDs are functioning correctly. Verify the wiring. Verify the Chiller Unit Controller is set up to communicate BACnet using the keypad. Refer to the proper Chiller Unit Controller OM for details on using the keypad. Verify connection to the correct MAC Layer Type (MS/TP). Verify that you are attempting to read the correct Device Instance number. Verify the Device Instance for the BACnet Communication Module is unique on the BACnet network and does not match the Device Instance of the Configuration Tool. Refer to the Configuration Using BACdoor OEM Client Status section of this document. Verify the baud rate of the BCM Configuration Tool is the same baud rate of the BACnet Communication Module. Also verify the MS/TP device instance is unique. Select Enable from the BACnet Device tab to enable the Device Instance Write property. You can now change the Device Instance. Close any programs that are using the serial port and restart the Configuration Tool. If the problem persists, verify that the BCM Configuration Tool is using the correct serial port by following these steps: Open the Configuration Tool by selecting BACnet IP as the MAC Layer Type. In the lower right corner of your task bar, click on the BACdoor OEM Client icon. Click Configure. Change COM Port to the COM Port you are using on your PC. Restart the BCM Configuration Tool by choosing MS/TP as the MAC Layer Type. Change the MS/TP Node Address of the Configuration Tool using the BACdoor OEM Client. This address needs to be unique on the network and is likely set at the address you are trying to write to the BCM. IM
