1.1 DDNG-BACnet (JACE-3E)
1.1.1 Introduction
The DDNG-BACnet gateway (JACE-3E) uses an embedded Java Application Control Engine
(JACE) to integrate diverse systems. This permits BACnet to communicate with Philips
Dynalite connected lighting systems and with other network protocols that interface to the
building management system.

The BACnet gateway provides configurable data points allowing bi-directional

communication to Philips Dynalite’s powerful distributed architecture network. For
integration with building management systems, Philips Dynalite supplies the BACnet gateway
with a pre-configured template to reduce commissioning time.

The BACnet gateway is configured using the NiagaraAX Workbench software, which can be
run as an executable or from a web browser.

Refer to www.tridium.com for detailed specifications.

1.1.2 BACnet gateway options

All BACnet gateways are provided with Philips Dynalite drivers and station pre-installed.
The station license is linked to the host number of the box.

For BACnet integration you can order the following products from Dynalite

 DDNG-BACnet-1000 Point (913703001309)

 DDNP1501 Network Power Supply

1. Plan Job

2. Connect to Jace box

3. Define DyNet points

4. Map DyNet to BACnet

5. Test functionality

2.1 Plan Job

2.1.1 System design
The starting point for the lighting integration design is the scope of works. This details
integration requirements for electrical, air conditioning, security and other systems.
The building management system (BMS) can integrate with these systems by:

 Monitoring

 Controlling

 Both monitoring and controlling

For the lighting system, you must define BACnet points for monitoring and control of
functions such as preset scenes, channel levels, lux levels, occupancy detection, ballast status
and temperature control.

Tip: The scope of works must include the number of points required. This impacts which
gateway is chosen: JACE-3E gateway for installations with fewer than 1000 points; or
multiple gateways or SoftJACE for installations with more than 1000 points.

Firstly, identify the number of areas in the job and the functions in each area. Use this
information to calculate the number and type of gateways that need to be ordered.

Refer to the BACnet gateway options section for product ordering information.

BACnet Gateway 10 Commissioning

 March 25, 2015

Using the table below, add up the number of points required for each function to estimate
the total number of points required to map DyNet to BACnet in the building.

The table indicates the lighting control function and the number of points required.

Function Point Type Read/Write Points/Description

Preset control Logical R/W 1 point per Area.

A Preset scene number is recalled for the area from the BMS
or a user interface, such as a button panel, sensor or
personal control app.

Channel level Logical R/W 1 point per channel in an area.

control
Specifies the channel level as a percentage.

Fade control Logical modifier W Specifies the fade value for preset messages from
BACnet to the lighting control system (default is 2
seconds).

HVAC Logical R 1 point per area for actual temperature.

temperature
Requests the current temperature value in degrees from
reporting
either the DyNet network or the BACnet network.

HVAC Logical R/W One of the following methods of control can be used to
temperature control the HVAC system:
control
1 point per Area
Sets an absolute value for the temperature setpoint.
1 point per Area
Sets the relative setpoint up/down when the lighting
system is directly controlling the temperature offset
value. Step value is defined in user interface. Limits are
defined in the BACnet gateway.
1 point per Area
Sets the relative setpoint accumulated nudge when the
lighting system is recommending an offset from a
predefined default temperature value in the HVAC
system. The step value and the maximum and minimum
limits are defined in user interface. Limits are also
defined in the BACnet gateway.

Sensor light Physical R 1 point per sensor in an Area.

control Recalls the current lux value from a PE sensor.

DALI Physical R 1 point per ballast/device in an Area.

MultiMaster
Reports device, lamp and/or ballast failure as one of the
ballast/device
following four states:

3. Lamp Failure

Tip: Presets allow for the broadest range of control with the least number of points.
Preset control is sufficient for the majority of lighting control systems.

2.1.2 Gateway IP details

The BACnet Points spreadsheet is a reference tool used to configure the Internet protocol
(IP) settings and the BACnet points for preset control. This saves you from having to type
the same information multiple times in the BACnet configuration.

To correctly configure the BACnet gateway, you need to gather the following IP information
from the BMS consultant. All fields are mandatory.

Enter the supplied information into the BACnet Points spreadsheet to use as a reference
during the commissioning process.

2.2 Connect to the BACnet gateway

Caution: If you connect the BACnet gateway to the Dynalite network before all DyNet
installation work is complete, it may adversely affect the station connection status.

2.2.1 Identify the IP address

The BACnet gateway has a default IPv4 address based on its serial number. If the given IP
address is not suitable for your job, then the IP address can be changed by using Serial Shell
mode.

Note: To change to Serial Shell mode or view the serial number, disconnect BACnet
gateway from the power before removing the cover.

The serial number is printed inside the box underneath the cover. When using IPv4, the last
digit of the IP address is the last digit of the serial number.

For example: Serial No. 123456 = IP address 192.168.1.126

As the default IP address for the BACnet gateway is IPv4, when using IPv6, you must
configure the IP address manually using Serial Shell mode as described below.

Note: Ensure the BACnet gateway has a station installed on the host before changing the IP
address.

2.2.2 Change the IP address

If the BMS requires you to use a different IP address or if you are using an IPv6 system, then
this must be changed in serial shell mode using a terminal program such as PuTTY. This
program can be freely downloaded from the internet.

Set up serial communication to the BACnet gateway.

1. Disconnect the power cord and battery (if fitted) from the BACnet gateway and
wait for the status LED on the top of the unit to turn off.

2. Take the cover off of the unit and switch the jumper to Serial Shell.

2.4.2 Export the logical project

To save typing, you can export the Dynalite logical area information using EnvisionProject.
This information is used to name the BACnet preset points.

Export logical area list report.

1. Open the job in EP.

2. Click the Logical tab in the View window.

3. Right-click the job name at the top of the tree.

4. Select Run Area List Report.

5. Click Export.

6. Select Excel.

7. Enter a name for the spreadsheet.

A spreadsheet of your logical area information is created.

(Default name = Area List with Links.xls)

Note: The BACnet point names for logical functions are derived from the area names.
The BACnet point names for physical functions are derived from the device names.

2.4.3 Preset Point Naming

Once EP has exported the logical area information into a spreadsheet you can import this
information into the BACnet Points spreadsheet to automatically create the BACnet Point
names.

This information is your main reference when mapping DyNet to BACnet.

Create BACnet point names.

1. Using your preferred office software (such as Excel), open the spreadsheet that you
exported from EP.

2. Highlight and copy the area information columns from column D to column M.

3. Paste into the right hand side of the BACnet Points spreadsheet starting at cell F15.
The built-in formula then automatically creates the BACnet point names in column B
replacing spaces with underscores.

Tip: To ensure formatting is not pasted, select Paste Formulas.
