KMC Controls Now Offers BACnet Auto Addressing

Article Tools

KMC Controls introduces a patent-pending process to automatically assign MAC addresses to MS/TP controllers in our line.

Here is how it works:

  • Before leaving the factory, the controller receives a unique device instancenumber based on the electronic model and serial numbers embedded within it.

  • At the job site, the controller is connected to the MS.

  • The technician designates one controller on the network as the “anchor” by pressing a hardware switch on the controller.

  • All other controllers on the network automatically initiate the addressing process.

The automatic MAC addressing process eliminates the need for a technician to address individual controllers in the field or for preaddressed controllers to be installed at specific locations.
