SECTION 1—About the BAC-A1616BC
SECTION 1—About the Building Controller
KMC Controls
This section provides a general description of the KMC Controls BAC-A1616BC
BACnet Building Controller (B-BC). Review this material before installing or
operating the controller.
Introduction
The BAC-A1616BC combines a high-performance, native BACnet, direct digital
controller and a BACnet router that is a BACnet (IP) Broadcast Management
Device (BBMD). Integrated into this native BACnet device is BACnet router, web
server, and expandable I/O capability.
As part of a complete interoperable building automation system, this 16x16
BAC-A1616BC provides precise monitoring and control of connected points. I/O
expansion modules (that can be mounted up to 200 feet away) provide the BACA1616BC with a maximum total of 128 inputs and 72 outputs.
As a web server, it offers the capability for configuration from a web browser in
addition to (via Ethernet) TotalControl. Configure I/Os, set-up objects, and monitor
present values via a browser. A custom web graphical interface can be loaded from
TotalControl.
As a router, the BAC-A1616BC can route traffic between two MS/TP ports, one
BACnet PTP (point-to-point) port, four (logical) BACnet IP ports, and one (logical) BACnet Ethernet port (BACnet IP and BACnet Ethernet are logical ports on
the Ethernet physical port). It supports BACnet IP foreign device registration and
BBMD, supports PTP modem communications, and performs IP packet assembling/disassembling (PAD) routing for up to four BACnet IP PAD networks.
Quick Start
Before using a BAC-A1616BC, the minimum requirements are:
• Mount and make all physical connections. See SECTION 2—Installation
(Mounting and Wiring) on page 11.
• Configure for network communication with the Router Configuration Tool. See
SECTION 3—Router Configuration Tool Connection/Configuration on page 27.

SECTION 2—Installation (Mounting and Wiring)
SECTION 2—Installation
KMC Controls
This section provides important instructions and guidelines for installing the BACA1616BC. Carefully review this information before installation.
Mounting
Mount the BAC-A1616BC inside of a metal enclosure. KMC Controls recommends
using a UL-approved enclosed energy management equipment panel such as a
KMC model HCO-1035 or HCO-1036. Insert #6 or #8 (or metric equivalents) hardware through the two mounting holes on each side of the controller to securely
fasten it to a flat surface. See Diagram and Dimensions on page 9 for mounting
hole locations and dimensions. To maintain RF emission specifications, use either
shielded connecting cables or enclose all cables in conduit.
Connecting Inputs
The BAC-A1616BC has 16 universal inputs. Each input can be configured to receive
either analog or binary signals (see Input and Output Objects on page 55). After
selecting the appropriate jumper position for each input, a variety of active or
passive devices may be connected to the inputs. (Active devices have their own
external power supply.)

SECTION 2—Installation
KMC Controls
For inputs to work properly, you must correctly:
• Attach sensors/switches to terminal blocks. See Connecting Inputs on page 11.
• Check/change input jumper settings. See Illustration 3 on page 11 and Illustration 4 on page 13.
• Configure input objects. See Input and Output Objects on page 55.
• For analog input (AI) objects, check/select/import/configure the relevant lookup table as needed. See Tables on page 65.
0–12
VDC inputs
For an active voltage input, set the jumper to the 0–12 VDC position. See Illustration 3 on page 11 for the jumper positions. (For active pulse inputs, see below.)
4–20
mA inputs
For a 4–20 mA current loop input, set the jumper to the 4–20 mA position.
Passive
Inputs
Passive input signals, such as thermistors or switch contacts, need a pull-up resistor in the circuit. For KMC thermistors and most other applications set the jumper
to the 10K Pull-up position. For 1K ohm platinum RTDs, use the 1K Pull-up position. (For troubleshooting inputs with a voltmeter, see Illustration 4 on page 13.)
NOTE: For pulse inputs, read the Pulse inputs section below carefully! Active
voltage pulses of less than 6 VDC require an external voltage divider.
Pulse
Inputs
Connect pulse inputs in the following manner:
• If the pulse input is a passive input such as switch contacts, then place the
input pull-up in the 10K Pull-up position.
• If the pulse is an active voltage from 6 VDC up to a maximum of 12 VDC, then
place the input jumper in the 0–12 VDC position.
• If the pulse is an active voltage LESS than 6 VDC, then remove the input
jumper and use an external resistor voltage divider to provide a 3 VDC
maximum. See Illustration 4 on page 13.

Ground
Terminals
Input ground terminals are located next to the input terminals. Up to two wires,
size 14–22 AWG, can be clamped into each ground terminal. If more than two
wires must be joined at a common point, use an external terminal strip to accommodate the additional wires.
NOTE: Input and Output GND terminals are circuit grounds and should not be
connected to earth ground (or ground loops may result).
Connecting Outputs
All 16 onboard outputs are universal, software selectable to produce either analog
or binary signals. For loads that exceed the output specifications of the controller,
including loads that require AC, use an output override card. See Installing Override Boards (Optional) on page 14.
For outputs to work properly, you must correctly:
• Attach output devices to terminal blocks. See Connecting Outputs on page 13.
• Configure output objects. See Input and Output Objects on page 55.

Outputs
Connect the device under control between the output terminal and the ground
(GND) terminal on the same bank. Switched common (SC) terminals are only used
with some of the output override boards. See Grounds and Switched (Relay) Commons on page 16. The universal KMC BACnet controller outputs can be configured
as:
• Analog objects—0 TO 12 volts DC
• Binary objects—0 OR 12 volts DC
For either type of output, the DC voltage signals can—within the specification of
the output (100 mA per output or 600 mA total)—connect directly to most equipment.
Installing
Override Boards (Optional)
For enhanced output options, such as manual control or using large relays or
devices that cannot be powered directly from a standard output, install output
override boards (also called “cards”). Output boards have an accessible threeposition slide switch for selecting the “Hand-Off-Auto” functions. While in the
“Hand” position, the output is manually energized, and the controller is provided
with a feedback signal to indicate the output has been overridden. While in the
“Off” position, the output is manually de-energized, and the controller is provided
with a feedback signal to indicate the output has been overridden. While in the
“Auto” position, the output is under the command of the controller. Each output

HPO-6704
4–20 mA (@10 VDC) current loop: short protection, 100 ohm min. and
500 ohm max., adjustable override potentiometer (since the HPO-6704
supplies the power, it will not work with a 4–20 mA device that also
supplies its own power).
HPO-6703*
Normally open relay: 30 VAC/VDC, 2 A max., power factor 0.4.
HPO-6705*
Normally closed relay: 30 VAC/VDC, 2 A max., power factor 0.4.
*With the HPO-6701 triac and HPO-6703/6705 relays, use only the Switched Common
terminals instead of Ground!
CAUTION
Connecting 24 volts AC or other signals that exceed the operation
specifications of the controller before the output jumper is removed will
damage the controller. Remove the jumper and install the override board
before connecting AC or other voltage to output terminals of the controller.
To install the desired output override boards, remove the plastic cover(s) on the
right side of the BAC-A1616BC. After installation of the boards, the existing cover
needs to be replaced by an HPO-6802 output board cover.
To install the HPO-6700 series override boards:
1. Disconnect the power by removing the power jumper.
2. Remove the relevant cover(s) by lifting the right-hand side of the cover (within
the plastic frame) toward you.
3. Remove the jumper from the relevant mounting header. See Illustration 6 on
page 16.
4. Position the board above the relevant slot with the Hand-Off-Auto selection
switch positioned toward the output connections.
NOTE: The slots do not align perfectly with their respective output terminals. Be
sure to put the board in the correct slot.
5. Slide it down the integral board tracks onto the header pins.

Use the following principles when connecting a controller to an MS/TP network:
• Use 18 gauge, twisted-pair, shielded cable with capacitance of no more than
about 50 picofarads per foot for all network wiring. Belden cable model #82760
meets KMC requirements.
• Connect the –A terminal in parallel with all other –A terminals. (See Illustration 8 on page 19.) Connect the +B terminal in parallel with all other +B terminals.
• Connect the shields of the cable together at each controller. For KMC BACnet
controllers use the S terminal.
• Connect the shield to an earth ground at one end only.
• To maintain communications in case of an open conductor on the network
cable, redundant wiring routed separately enhances reliability.
• Connect no more than 128 addressable BACnet master devices (total) to one
MS/TP network. The devices can be any mix of controllers or routers. (Up to
127 slave devices can also be connected.)
• Limiting the MS/TP network size to no more than about 60 BAC-A1616BC,
BAC-5800, and BAC-7000 series controllers will optimize network performance.
• Use a KMC KMD-5575 repeater after every 31 MS/TP devices or if the cable
length exceeds 4,000 feet (1,220 meters). Generally, use no more than four repeaters per MS/TP network. Do not connect the cable shield to the circuit GND
terminal on the KMD-5575. For each network segment, connect the shields to a
good earth ground at only one end of the segment; tape back the shield ground
at the other end.
• Place a KMC KMD-5567 surge suppressor in the cable where it exits a building.

the Ethernet LAN network service. Review SECTION 3—Router Configuration
Tool Connection/Configuration on page 27 and the applications note AN0404A
Planning BACnet Networks before connecting a BAC-A1616BC or router to a
network.
The BAC-A1616BC connects to the Ethernet LAN in the same manner as other
Ethernet devices. Connect a standard CAT 5 or CAT 6 Ethernet cable from the
Ethernet port on the router to a network router, switch, or hub.
Connecting for Point-to-Point Operation
Introduction
BACnet point-to-point (PTP) links are established between two BACnet halfrouters. Each half-router may be:
• Part of a hardware router (built into the BAC-A1616BC or BAC-5050).
• A feature of a software driver in a computer.
In the BAC-A1616BC, either the modem connector or the Serial 1 port may be used
to establish PTP links. See Illustration 11 on page 22 and Illustration 12 on page 22.
Use the KMC Router Configuration Tool to configure the router function for pointto-point operation. You will need all or part of the information in the following list
to configure the router for PTP:
• The desired baud range that will be established between two remote modems
(e.g., 9.6K to 33.6K).
• The baud between the modem and the BAC-A1616BC or between the
BAC-A1616BC and a directly connected half-router. The maximum baud rate
between the BAC-A1616BC and the modem (link “A” in Illustration 12 on
page 22) must be higher than the baud rate between the two modems (“B”). The
default Building-Controller-to-modem baud rate is 38400, which requires a
36.6K or less modem-to-modem setting.
• The passwords used by the remote half-router.
• At least one BACnet network that is known to the remote half-router (required
for outbound connections only).

SECTION 2—Installation
KMC Controls
NOTE: When using the BAC-A1616BC with a modem, power the modem
before applying power to the router. If the power to the modem is ever
cycled, power to the BAC-A1616BC must then also be cycled.
The maximum baud rate between the BAC-A1616BC and the modem (link “A”
in Illustration 12 on page 22) must be higher than the baud rate between the two
modems (“B”). The default router-to-modem baud rate is 38,400, which requires a
36.6K or less modem-to-modem setting.
When the BAC-A1616BC powers up, it configures the modem by using modem
initialization strings, and it initializes the modem (using settings for a U.S. Robotics
56K Faxmodem or true compatible) to support any baud rate between 9600 and
33600. To use a higher modem-to-modem baud rate (e.g., 56K) or a different type of
modem, you would need to adjust the router’s modem initialization strings in the
router using the Router Configuration Tool. (See SECTION 3—Router Configuration Tool Connection/Configuration on page 27.) If modifying initialization strings
from the defaults, connect to the router from the PC using a program such as
HyperTerminal to test the new initialization strings.
The default settings for the Modem and Serial 1 ports are 38,400 baud, 8 data
bits, no parity bits, and 1 stop bit. The Serial 2 port defaults are the same except
for a speed of 115,200 baud. In the General Settings tab of Router Configuration
Tool menu, Serial 1 Baud Rate sets the baud for both the Serial 1 and Modem
ports, and Serial 2 Baud Rate sets the baud for the Serial 2 ports.

Connecting Power
The BAC-A1616BC requires an external, 24 volt, AC power source. Use the
following guidelines when choosing and wiring transformers. Use a KMC Controls
Class-2 transformer of the appropriate size to supply power to the controllers.
KMC Controls recommends powering only one controller from each transformer.
• When installing a controller in a system with other controllers, you may power
multiple controllers with a single transformer as long as the total power drawn
from the transformer does not exceed its rating and phasing is correct.
• If several controllers are mounted in the same cabinet, you can share a transformer between them provided the transformer does not exceed 100 VA or other
regulatory requirements.
•
Do not run 24 volt, AC power from within an enclosure to external controllers.
• (For future release reference, the transformer must be powered by the same
UPS as is connected to the Building Controller’s UPS communications port.)
Connect the 24 volt AC power supply to the power terminal block on the lower
right side of the controller near the power jumper. Connect the neutral lead from
the transformer to the – terminal (middle terminal of the block) and the AC
phase to the ~ (phase) terminal. Power is applied to the controller when the transformer is plugged in and the power jumper is in place.
Connect an earth ground to the E terminal. This terminal grounds the USB and
Ethernet connector shields, but it is not circuit/signal ground (–). It does not
ground the input GND terminals, output GND terminals, or S terminals on the
MS/TP connectors.
NOTE: If a CAN-A168EIO expansion module is being used, see the important
notes on powering both in Inputs, Outputs, and Power on page 88.

SECTION 3—Router Configuration Tool Connection/Configuration
SECTION 3—Router Configuration Tool connection and configuration
This section provides important guidelines for configuring the BAC-A1616BC
before it is placed on a network. Review this information carefully for proper
installation.
Before You Begin
Before initializing the BAC-A1616BC, review Application Note AN0404A, Planning
BACnet Networks. Also refer to the TotalControl documentation for complete details
of network configuration.
Before the BAC-A1616BC can communicate on a network, it must be configured
with the supplied Router Configuration Tool. Configuring prepares the controller
with the following:
• MS/TP MAC address.
• Device instance number.
• Baud rate.
• IP address.
In addition to the Router Configuration Tool software, you will need the following
information before you can initialize the router function of the BAC-A1616BC.
From the system designer:
• Network numbers for each of the networks to which the BAC-A1616BC will
connect.
• A MAC address for each MS/TP port that will be enabled in the router function.
• The highest MAC address used on each of the MS/TP networks to which the
BAC-A1616BC will connect.
• The baud rate for each of the enabled MS/TP networks.
• The address and port for a PAD router or BBMD to which the BAC-A1616BC
router function will connect.
From the system administrator:
• The IP address for the BAC-A1616BC.
• The UDP port numbers.
• The IP subnet mask for the Ethernet LAN to which the BAC-A1616BC will
connect.
NOTE: The Setup > Router web page has many of the same functions as the
Router Configuration Tool in a graphical format.. See Router Setup
(Web) on page 68.

Illustration 16—Ethernet Configuration Connections
Configure the BAC-A1616BC router functions before connecting it to a BACnet
internetwork. To perform initialization with the Router Configuration Tool (see
Router Configuration Tool (RCT) on page 30) via Ethernet, you will need a computer
with an Ethernet port and one of the following connection methods.
• Connect directly to the BAC-A1616BC with an Ethernet (cross-over or straightthrough) cable.
• Connect the BAC-A1616BC and computer together with a router/hub/switch.
(For example, a Linksys or D-Link router in standard configuration should
work.)
Verify that address conflicts will not occur (see Resolving PC and B-BC IP Address
Conflicts below).
NOTE: Before connecting an uninitialized BAC-A1616BC to an existing LAN,
verify that addressing conflicts will not occur and that they will be
on the same subnet. The default IP address for the BAC-A1616BC is
192.168.1.254. The default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. The default
gateway is 255.255.255.255.
NOTE:The existing (unknown) IP address for a BAC-A1616BC can be viewed
in a terminal program (such as Hyperterminal). It will appear on a line
part-way through a restart. To optionally monitor the boot-up, a KMD5672 computer-to-router serial cable is needed. See Serial Connection and
Debug Monitoring on page 30.
Resolving
PC and B-BC IP Address Conflicts
To communicate on the same subnet as the BAC-A1616BC after making physical
Ethernet connections, the IP address of the computer will probably have to be
temporarily changed. One way of doing so is the following procedure.
1. Determine the computer’s IP address and subnet mask by running ipconfig
from a command prompt (Start button > select Run > type in cmd and hit Enter
> at the prompt, type in ipconfig). Write the address numbers down for future
reference. (See Illustration 17 on page 29.)

Connection and Debug Monitoring
Serial 2 is a standard EIA-232 port for connecting a PC directly to the BACA1616BC. Make the connection using a KMD-5672 PC to serial port cable. See
Illustration 11 on page 22.
The Serial 2 “Debug” port allows monitoring of the BAC-A1616BC’s boot-up
process. Most of the debug information is only useful to KMC engineers, but the
current device number, IP address, and subnet mask can be viewed. Also, during
the boot-up, there will be a two-second window to halt the process by hitting
any key (but the terminal program must have sending keystrokes enabled). Use
HyperTerminal, Tera Term or equivalent. In HyperTerminal, change the default
Port Settings to the following:

While boot-up is paused, firmware may be reloaded using the Router Configuration Tool (e.g., if a problem in a firmware upgrade has caused the BAC-A1616BC to
continuously reboot). To connect to that default IP address, the computer’s IP address may need to be temporarily changed. See Resolving PC and B-BC IP Address
Conflicts on page 28 information about communicating with that IP address.

NOTE:The Home Port determines to which network the BAC-A1616BC appears
to be connected.
NOTE: Be very careful about setting the baud rate on the controllers on the
MS/TP network. They should all match. The BAC-A1616BC does not (yet)
autobaud. For example, if other controllers are set to 38400 with autobaud
turned on while the BAC-A1616BC is set to 9600 baud, and if power to all
devices is temporarily lost, the other controllers may cycle first and lock
in 38400 baud before the BAC-A1616BC has a chance to send any MS/

Route
Status (RCT)
Introduction
Route Status (selectable from the context-sensitive menu by right-clicking the B-BC
line) is a diagnostic tool that displays a list of all networks of which the Building
Controller’s router function is aware. The Route Status tab displays status of both
direct and remote networks.
NOTE: Direct (or local) networks are networks that connect directly to the router,
and remote networks are networks that are on the other side of one or
more remote routers. The path to a remote network always includes at
least one directly connected network. If a directly connected network
is shown to have a problem, the remote networks that connect to it will
also show problems. Correct directly connected network problems before
troubleshooting remote network problems.
Route status can be used to troubleshoot network problems (such as a duplicate
network number indicated by the D-in-a-circle icon in Illustration 22 on page 33).

results in the discovery of other networks. Other routers will respond with an
I-am-router-to-network message.
• Clear Direct Networks forces the status of all local networks to OK. If a problem continues with a direct network, it will return to a status other than OK.
• Clear Remote Status forces the status of all remote networks to OK. If a problem continues with a remote network, it will return to a status other than OK.
• Purge Remote Networks removes all remote routes from the network table.
• Send Sequence broadcasts the three commands Purge Remote Networks, Clear
Remote Status, and Send I-Am-Router-To-Network sequentially.
NOTE: After configuration changes, it may be helpful to select Send Sequence and
wait for the entire network to refresh traffic from active controllers and
routers (which may take a minute or more for large networks).

A PAD (Packet Assembler/Disassembler) can be used to join BACnet networks
through the Internet. PAD enables the transporting of BACnet packets across IP
routers to join two separate IP subnets.
NOTE: The routing might or might not involve NAT (Network Address
Translation), which is a (fixed/static or dynamic) process of network
address translation involving rewriting the source and/or destination
addresses of IP packets as they pass through a router or firewall. NAT
is often used to enable multiple hosts on a private network to access the
Internet through a single public IP address.

SECTION 3—Router Configuration Tool connection and configuration
KMC Controls
FDs (Foreign Devices) report to the BBMD (BACnet Building Management Device)
to tunnel through IP Routers. However, as the BACnet standard was written, this
form of tunneling cannot deal with NAT (Network Address Translation) in IP
Routers. This form of tunneling is recommended only in an intranet (see Illustration 31 on page 41), VLAN environment, or as a temporary connection over a VPN.
FDs and a BBMD cannot use NAT to cross the Internet except through a VPN
connection.
Addendum O of the BACnet standard now allows communication across the
Internet with the addition of a public IP address of the router (see the BBMD_ADDENDUM O selection in Illustration 32 on page 42). (This requires Router Configuration Tool version 2.1.0.13 or later and BAC-A1616BC firmware R1.6.0.11 or later.)
If communication with FDs on both an (internal) intranet and across the Internet
is required, two different networks must be set up. One network is configured as a
BBMD for the FDs on the intranet, and the other is configured as a BBMD ADDENDUM O for the FDs on the Intranet.
Illustration 32—RCT Settings for BACnet Over IP (BBMD, B-BC1)
The Foreign Devices in this example (mixed between BAC-A1616BCs and BACnet
routers) register with the BBMD over BACnet IP UDP Port 47808, Network #25,
and they become four networks joined as a single BACnet internetwork. PC1 joins
the BACnet network using BACnet/Ethernet 8802-3 on the local subnet.

Firmware Update and Backup
The current firmware version number can be viewed on the Device web page as
well as the top right of most screens. (See Illustration 42 on page 53.)
The BAC-A1616BC firmware can be updated through the Router Configuration
Tool (ver. 2.1.0.14 or later). The BAC-A1616BC can also be backed up using the
Router Configuration Tool or TotalControl. (For backing up using TotalControl,
refer to the documentation with that software.)
CAUTION
To update to R2.0.0.5 firmware, firmware R1.8.0.1 (from October 2012)
MUST ALREADY BE INSTALLED! Earlier firmware must first be upgraded to
R1.8.0.1, and then upgraded from R1.8.0.1 to R2.0.0.5.
The Router Configuration Tool (RCT) 3.0.0.18 (released in September 2013)
or later MUST be used to upgrade from R1.8.0.1 to R2.0.0.x! Do NOT use an
earlier version of the RCT or your BAC-A1616BC may become unusable!
Back up the BAC-A1616BC before starting the firmware update either
through TotalControl or as part of the firmware update process in the Router
Configuration Tool.

SECTION 3—Router Configuration Tool connection and configuration
KMC Controls
4. Click Start Upload.
NOTE: With firmware R1.6.0.12 or later installed, to update the BAC-A1616BC’s
firmware, FTP Access on the System screen must be set to Protected (which
requires an admin log-in on the RCT) or Anonymous. (See Illustration 39
on page 50.) If FTP is configured for No Access, it must be temporarily
changed to Protected or Anonymous.
Reset (warm start) the BAC-A1616BC to make the changes take effect. (Leaving
the Allow Reboot of B-BC when finished option checked will automatically reset
the controller when the upgrade is done.) To reset it manually, see Resetting (Reinitializing) the BAC-A1616BC on page 82.
CAUTION
During the upgrade process, avoid stopping the upload unless absolutely
necessary. Stopping the process may result in some files being updated and
not others. As a result, the BAC-A1616BC may become unusable.
If the BAC-A1616BC keeps rebooting itself or becomes unusable after the
firmware update, halt the boot-up via the debug port and reload the last working
version of the firmware. See Serial Connection and Debug Monitoring on page 30.
If the BAC-A1616BC will not connect with the Router Configuration Tool because of a boot-up problem, firmware can still be uploaded. From the Tools tab,
select Upgrade Firmware, double-click inside the Selected Panels box, and manually
type in the IP address of the BAC-A1616BC. See Illustration 35 on page 45. Upload
the appropriate firmware and restart the BAC-A1616BC.
Illustration 35—Upgrading Firmware from Typed-in IP Address
Choosing to restore to Factory Default during the upgrade might resolve problems
with the configuration. The BAC-A1616BC would then need to be reconfigured.

Email sent from the optional internal SMTP “server” requires a license. (See Login, Security, and Permissions (Setup > Admin) on page 47.) For the internal SMTP
“server” (or restricted closed SMTP relay that is dedicated solely to forwarding
emails internally generated by the BAC-A1616BC), the values of the DNS numbers
can by determined from a PC on the same network:
1. Select the Start button
2. Select Run
3. Type in cmd and hit Enter

Illustration 40—Determining DNS Numbers for Internal Email
When powered up after losing the RTC (Real Time Clock) time, the time and date
will revert to the default and must be set manually or by Sync to PC. (See Illustration 39 on page 50.)
For areas that observe DST (Daylight Saving Time), check DST Enable and
DST Auto Calculation. The DST period is currently the second Sunday of March
through the first Sunday of November, but these rules can be changed in the menu
if the official period changes or if the installed location needs a schedule adjustment for better operation.
NOTE: If DST is enabled but Auto Calculation is not, the actual calendar dates
(instead of using the general rules) will need to be entered every year.
If UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) synchronization is used on the network,
set the UTC Offset value. The UTC Offset value is in minutes and corresponds
to the distance of the local time zone to the zero degree meridian. In stand-alone
operation or networks that do not have UTC broadcasts, setting this value is not
necessary.

You can set FTP access/permissions to Anonymous (not recommended), No Access,
or Protected (accessible using any administrator log-in currently set-up in the BACA1616BC). Backing up is better done through the Router Configuration Tool or
TotalControl (see Firmware Update and Backup on page 44), but to use Internet
Explorer to back up the BAC-A1616BC via FTP, perform the following procedure.
1. In the address bar, type ftp://192.168.1.254/ (or use the current IP
address if it has been changed) and hit Enter. (You should then see the root
directory of the BAC-A1616BC web server.)
2. From the Menu bar, select View > Open FTP Site in Windows Explorer.
3. In the password dialog box, type the following (assuming FTP permissions are
not set for No Access):
• User: anonymous (or an administrator user name for Protected Access)
• Password: [email protected] (or the administrator password)
4. To back up the BAC-A1616BC from the resulting window, drag and drop all
the files and folders from its root directory to a storage device. (This may take
quite some time.)
CAUTION
Using FTP to delete or edit the wrong files can potentially render the BACA1616BC inoperable and unable to properly control objects!
This setting also affects TotalControl’s access from the Building Controller Site
Manager and ability to publish web pages:
• To publish web pages with a Protected FTP setting, after starting TotalControl’s Building Controller Site Manager, log into the BAC-A1616BC with any
valid Administrative log-in.
• With a No Access FTP setting, TotalControl will be unable to publish web
pages to the BAC-A1616BC at all—to publish, temporarily change FTP access
to another setting.
The File System Memory monitor shows used and available memory. (See Illustration 39 on page 50.) If free space becomes too limited, use TotalControl to
delete unused graphics pages and consolidate/rework needed pages. Avoid resizing standard graphic elements since that increases the file size.

Viewing
& Editing BACnet Objects (Setup > Objects)
Objects are the means by which a BACnet device represents information that can
be observed or changed. An object may represent a physical point such as an input
or output or a logical grouping of data such as a PID loop, schedule, or variable.
Objects are a method of organizing and accessing data in a way that corresponds
to real-world inputs and values. The BACnet standard strictly defines available
objects, their properties, and the acceptable values for each property.
Add or Delete Objects
(click on the Add or Delete button,
choose the device type, enter the
range, and click the button underneath)
Choose Objects to View/Edit
(click on the triangle to the left of
the object type folder and then
click on the desired object)

can be deleted. To change an object (e.g., AI to BI), delete the object and
then add an object.
Any “light gray” field (but might appear “white” depending on the monitor’s
brightness and contrast settings) on a screen may be viewed only and cannot be
changed in the web browser. The Router Configuration Tool and TotalControl Design Studio can edit some of those settings and labels, but some cannot be changed.
(See Illustration 42 on page 53.)
Settings in the white fields may be changed as needed. Click the Save button to
save the new configuration to the BAC-A1616BC.
NOTE: Unless the Save button is clicked, switching to a different screen will
cause all changes to be lost.
CAUTION
After the Save button is pressed in the web browser a one minute time-out
period exists before changes are written to flash memory. (To reduce the
number of writes to and provide longer life for the flash memory.) If the red
reset button is pushed or power is removed during the time-out period, all
changes will be lost. If the red reset button is pushed or power is removed
during the time-out period, all changes will be lost.
Click the Refresh button (prior to clicking the Save button) to return any edited
field values to those of the last saved configuration. The Refresh button erases any
changes in editable fields since the last save. It also updates present value fields.

Device Object
The BAC-A1616BC supports one device object. (See Illustration 42 on page 53.) The
Device Name and Max Master are edited here. Choose to view/edit the device
object properties by clicking on the device name.
NOTE:The Device Instance Number can be changed in the Router Configuration
Tool but not in the web interface.
NOTE: The Max Master is the highest MAC address a device will attempt to
locate when polling for master devices on the MS/TP network. The
lowest Max Master number that still incorporates all the installed MAC
addresses will increase network traffic efficiency.

• 100 default and up to 1,000 binary value objects.
• 10 default and up to 256 multi-state value objects (with up to 16 states each).
Value objects represent variables. Analog values (AV) store a floating-point value,
binary values (BV) store a Boolean value (true or false), and multi-state values
(MSV) store up to 16 discrete states.
Value objects are managed the same as described in Viewing & Editing BACnet
Objects (Setup > Objects) on page 53.
Illustration 44—Values (Analog) Screen
NOTE: The BAC-A1616BC was the first KMC controller to support MSV (MultiState Value) objects. MSVs are used to show changes of state, such as
OFF, LOW, MEDIUM, and HIGH for fan speed. Other potential uses
include stages, ranges, positions, and alarm messages. MSV states are
numbered consecutively, starting with 1 and going up to 16. Text (up
to 32 characters) can accompany each state. The current state text (e.g.,
MEDIUM) displays as the MSV’s present value.

• 10 default and up to 32 calendar objects.
Use a schedule object dialog to enter and manage a periodic schedule that may
recur during a range of dates. Schedules can control objects in the BAC-A1616BC
and other controllers as well. Schedules are divided into days, of which there are
two types:
• Normal days are defined by the weekly schedule. See Illustration 45 on page 57.
• Exception days are defined by exception schedules (and calendars). See Illustration 46 on page 58.
Use a calendar object to enter and manage a list of special dates. These special
dates may be holidays, special events, or other days that require special attention
on a schedule.

Loop Objects (PID Controllers)
The BAC-A1616BC supports 16 default and up to 32 PID loop objects.
A PID loop is a mathematical function that calculates the analog output required
to maintain a process at or near a setpoint. The output of the loop object directly
controls the present value of either an analog output or analog value object.
The Setpoint Reference (e.g., desired temperature) is compared to the Controlled
Variable Reference (e.g., actual temperature), and the difference controls the Manipulated Variable Reference according to the other screen settings. PID loops are
used with Control Basic programs. For more information about PID loops, see the
Help files in TotalControl or BACstage.
Loop objects are managed the same as described in Viewing & Editing BACnet
Objects (Setup > Objects) on page 53.

Notifications, Events, and Alarms
To have the BAC-A1616BC send out notifications (to the Alarms viewer on the web
interface, to BACstage or TotalControl, or to email addresses), the specified event
or alarm is setup and enrolled in a particular notification class.
The BAC-A1616BC supports 10 default and up to 64 notification (alarm/event)
objects as well as 10 default and up to 512 event enrollment objects.
Use the notification class object to manage the distribution and processing of
alarms and events. The notification object:
• Maintains a list of destination devices such as a BACnet operator workstation
or an email address.
• Sets the prioritization of TO-OFFNORMAL and TO-NORMAL events by the
destination device. (TO-FAULT is not currently supported in the BAC-A1616BC.)
• Designates if the event notification requires an acknowledgement. (TO-FAULT
is not currently supported in the BAC-A1616BC.)
• Designates the process a recipient device should perform upon the receipt of an
event.

NOTE:An unsigned property state means having no negative sign in front of the
integer (e.g., 0, 1, or 70, but neither –1 nor 70.34).
NOTE:Under Acknowledged Transitions, a check in a green box indicates that
the event and notification was triggered and an acknowledgment was

Programs (Control Basic)
The BAC-A1616BC supports 32 program objects.
Program objects allow the corresponding Control Basic program to be loaded, run,
halted, restarted, or unloaded using the browser. These programs are the method
by which automation is added to controllers.
A Control Basic program cannot be created or edited directly in the browser.
TotalControl or BACstage is required to load Control Basic programs. The BACA1616BC uses Next Generation Control Basic. See the Help files in TotalControl or
BACstage for more information about creating and loading programs.
The method for using the web browser to edit the Control Basic program configuration is described in Viewing & Editing BACnet Objects (Setup > Objects) on page

Trend Logs
The BAC-A1616BC supports 64 default and up to 256 trend objects, each of which
holds up to 256 samples.
A trend log can monitor the present value of one object. Each trend log periodically
saves the data record along with a timestamp and relevant status information at
the time the controller saved the record to a trend log. Trend log objects can be configured in the browser and viewed in a graph (by clicking on the Log Buffer View:
Graph button) or table format (by clicking on the Log Buffer View: Tabular button).
TotalControl and BACstage can also view the record as a graph.
NOTE: The Graph view of trend logs became available in firmware R2.0.0.5. For
details, see the BAC-A1616BC Applications Guide.
NOTE:To clear a trend log buffer, click the Reset Buffer button (or change Record
Count to 0 and click Save).
For trends:
• A trend object defines the object to be sampled (see Illustration 51 on page 64).
• An event enrollment object enrolls the trend object as an event (see Illustration 52 on page 64).
• And a notification class object determines what device to contact and report
the event (see Illustration 48 on page 60).
All three objects must be configured properly. The method for editing these
objects is described in Viewing & Editing BACnet Objects (Setup > Objects) on
page 53.
NOTE:The Log Interval is in units of 0.01 seconds, and, for example, 6000
intervals equals one minute.
NOTE: Be sure the Start and Stop date range is valid.
NOTE: In the Notification Class screen (see Illustration 48 on page 60), Ack
(Acknowledged) Required transitions must be left unchecked for trends.
NOTE: Trends from external device instances are not yet supported.
Using Change of Value (COV) instead of polling for trends reduces network traffic. Plus, for binary objects, such as a fan status switch, it provides the exact times
the switch opens and closes. To configure a trend for one of the BAC-A1616BC’s
objects:
• The trend’s Log Interval must be set to 0 and Client COV Increment set to null
(see Illustration 51 on page 64).
• Configure the COV Increment in the object being trended to an appropriate
desired value (usually 1 for binary objects). See Illustration 43 on page 55
and Illustration 44 on page 56.
See the TotalControl Help system for information about subscribing to a COV from
TotalControl as well as more information about COVs.

Tables
Look-up tables are used when the value of an expression is nonlinear (such as the
temperature response of a thermistor) or requires a complex calculation to arrive at
the proper value. The two types of supported tables are:
• (Up to 16) InTbl_x input tables that determine the present value based on the
voltage input (e.g., x VDC = y° F). The 128 values in the table span the range of
the input voltage to the BAC-A1616BC’s processor.
• (Up to 8) CbTbl_x Control Basic tables that are used to chang values according
to another value (e.g., resetting setpoints according to outside air temperature).
The 32 x:y value pairs have 0:0 as defaults. The CB table in Illustration 53 on
page 65 would work with the Control Basic code AV4 = TBL( AI3, 1 ). An
outside air temperature (OAT) of 60° F or above would cause the hot water to
reset to 140° F, and an OAT of –10° or below would reset the hot water to 180°,
and any OAT between –10° and 60° would cause the hot water temperature to
be linearly adjusted somewhere between 140° and 180°. Since the adjustment
is linear, only two x:y value pairs are needed in the table (besides the default
zeros).

Tables can be added or replaced through three methods:
• Entering each Y value manually in each of the rows (via mouse and keyboard).
• Calculating the Y value table from the Input Source Values table (see Illustration 53 on page 65). To calculate a custom table, select the correct Input
Jumper Position (as well as Volts vs. Ohms if applicable) and enter the (“In”)
input voltage/resistance with the corresponding desired (“Out”) AI present
value. For details and examples, see the BAC-A1616BC Applications Guide.
• Importing a (*.CSV) file by clicking the Import button. (See instructions below.)
Because the BAC-A1616BC has a 0–12 VDC total input range, different tables are
required than in other (0–5 VDC) KMC controllers. Reserve Input Table 2 for Type
II sensor input values and Input Table 3 for Type III sensor input values.
Input tables are required for the STE-6012/6016 room temperature and setpoint
transmitters and for the STE-6014/6017/6019/6018/6020 rotary dial setpoints. To set
up the correct tables for these devices by downloading and importing CSV files:
1. Download the CSV table files from the KMC Partners web site and unzip the
compressed file. (Log-in to https://partners.kmccontrols.com/ and go to Downloads > Tables or the BAC-A1616BC product pages.)
2. Click the Import button near the bottom of the Tables screen. (See Illustration
53 on page 65.)
3. Locate the appropriate file and click Open.
4. At the “Upload Complete” reminder, click OK.
5. Click Save before exiting to another screen.
6. Record which device/function corresponds to each table.

NOTE: Custom CSV files can be easily created in Microsoft Excel. (See
Illustration 54 on page 66.) For an input table, fill in 128 values, and
save the file as a CSV (Comma Delimited) file type.
NOTE:The input table import function imports the first 128 values from the CSV
file even if there are more values in the file. Input tables must have 128
values even if many of them are 0. Likewise, the The Control Basic table
import function imports the first 32 values from the CSV file. All indexes
in all tables must have values, which default to 0.
NOTE: Downloadable KMC BAC-A1616BC tables have Celsius values.
Fahrenheit values are calculated via a multiplier (1.8) and offset (32) on
the input configuration screens. (See Illustration 43 on page 55.)

Weekly
View
The weekly view shows the time and values (On, Off, or Null) assigned to a particular schedule on a weekly basis. To add a value to a particular day, double-click
the desired time slot for the day. A default value will appear and can be edited to
the desired value. To resize a value block, click on the top or bottom of the block
and drag the block up or down. See Illustration 59 on page 71.
Time slot increments can be “zoomed” from one hour each to 15 minutes each by
clicking the +/– buttons above the time column. If the time is “zoomed out” any
increments smaller than the the rest will be highlighted in yellow. Time increments
with values as small as one minute can also be created directly by double-clicking
in a slot in the time column and typing in the desired time. The schedule’s On/Off
must also be adjusted for this to have an affect.
To copy the schedule for one day to another, click the day name at the top of the
column (e.g., “Mon”), drag the day to the desired day, release the button over the
new column, and click Yes.
An override is an exception that takes precedence over the weekly and holiday
values for that day only. An override exception can be added to any day by
clicking on the Override check box located above the desired day of the week.
Once checked, a translucent copy of the weekly day will be seen over the column.
Value blocks can then be adjusted by clicking on the override grid and adjusting
just as in the weekly view. If an override for a particular day is no longer wanted,
uncheck the override box. A total of up to five overrides are available per schedule, and overrides in the past disappear (freeing them for use on other days)
if needed for a new day. (A sixth override may be available if no holidays are
used.)
Navigate to different weeks by clicking on the Right or Left arrow buttons located
at the top of the weekly view. Alternately, click the calendar icon to select a month
view and click on the week desired. The weekly schedule is the same for all the
viewable weeks, but some weeks may have overrides and holidays that affect only
those particular days.
To disable or enable the schedule, check or uncheck the “Disable” box at the upper left of the screen. The status of the schedule being viewed is shown by a green
“Schedule is Enabled” message or a flashing red “Schedule is Disabled” message.

NOTE: At midnight the schedule restarts with the schedule default if no value
is set. If a (default) value on the schedule is null (see Illustration 59 on
page 71), objects commanded by the schedule will be relinquished
at their set priority for writing (see Illustration 45 on page 57). For
example, a schedule writing to BO1 @ priority 8 will normally command
0 or 1 and write to the BO1’s priority array @ 8. However, if the schedule
default is set to null and neither the weekly nor the holiday schedules
are controlling, BO1’s present value will become null, and BO1 will be
relinquished @ level 8 in its priority array.

Disconnect Switches
The network disconnect switches are located on the left side of the controller. Use
these switches to enable or disable the MS/TP network connections. When the
switch is ON the controller can communicate on the network; when it is OFF, the
controller is isolated from the network.
Alternately, you may remove the isolation bulbs to isolate the controller from the
network.

SECTION 5—Operation and troubleshooting
KMC Controls
Ethernet Communications (Amber)
Three amber LEDs indicate Ethernet communications. The left LED illuminates
when the BAC-A1616BC has power. The middle LED illuminates whenever it
detects an Ethernet connection. The right LED flashes at a rate in accordance to
Ethernet traffic. Under normal conditions the left and center LEDs are illuminated
continuously and the right LED is blinking.
MS/TP 1/2 Communications (Amber)
When the BAC-A1616BC is powered up (but not communicating on the MS/TP
port), these amber LEDs will flash slowly, about once per second. When the MS/TP
port establishes communications with the network, the amber LED for that MS/TP
port will flash rapidly as it receives and passes the token.
Power/Status (Green)
About 30 seconds after power is applied, this (upper green LED by the power
jumper) indicator flashes about once per second when the BAC-A1616BC is operating normally.
Fault (Red)
This (lower red LED by the power jumper) indicator will illuminate for approximately 30 seconds after the BAC-A1616BC has been reset/reinitialized or poweredup.
• It will glow dimly (along with the green power/status LED) after power has
been first applied or restored after an outage (and both LEDs will go out briefly
before the green LED starts flashing normally).
• It will glow brightly (by itself) during a commanded warm or cold start.
If it stays illuminated after boot-up or illuminates at a later time, this indicates a
problem in the BAC-A1616BC.
Isolation
Bulbs (HPO-0054)
Two isolation bulbs are located near each network switch. These bulbs serve three
functions:
• Removing the bulbs will open the MS/TP or expansion I/O network and isolate
the BAC-A1616BC from the network.
• If one, or both, bulbs are lit, it indicates the network is improperly phased.
This means that the ground potential of the controller is not the same as other
controllers on the network.
• If the voltage or current on the network exceeds safe levels, the bulbs operate as
fuses and may protect the controller from damage.

NOTE: Be very careful about setting the baud rate on the controllers on the
MS/TP network. They should all match. The BAC-A1616BC does not (yet)
autobaud. For example, if other controllers are set to 38400 with autobaud
turned on while the BAC-A1616BC is set to 9600 baud, and if power to all
devices is temporarily lost, the other controllers may cycle first and lock
in 38400 baud before the BAC-A1616BC has a chance to send any MS/TP
traffic.
Firmware
Update or FTP Access Does Not Work or Requires a Log-in
• With firmware R1.6.0.12 and later, access to the BAC-A1616BC through FTP
can be selected as Anonymous (not recommended during general use), Protected
(requires an administrator log-in), and No Access. (See Device and System
Screens (Setup > Objects) on page 50.) With a Protected FTP setting, the FTP
connection or firmware update through the Router Configuration Tool requires
an Administrative log-in. With a No Access FTP setting, neither connection is
possible—to connect, temporarily change FTP access to another setting.

LED
Indicators and Isolation Bulbs Issues
Power/Status LED (Green) Issues
About 30 seconds after power is first applied, the green Power/Status LED will begin flashing about once a second if the device is functioning normally. See Controls
and Indicators on page 75.
• If it is not illuminated, check the (1.6 A, fast-acting, 5 x 20 mm) fuse, power,
and connections to the BAC-A1616BC (see Illustration 15 on page 26).
• If it stays illuminated continuously (without flashing), check the Ethernet
connection and restart the BAC-A1616BC (see Resetting (Reinitializing) the
BAC-A1616BC on page 82).
Fault LED (Red) Issues
The red Fault LED will illuminate for approximately 30 seconds after the BACA1616BC has been reset/reinitialized or powered-up. If it stays illuminated
after boot-up or illuminates at a later time, this indicates a problem in the BACA1616BC:
• Check the Ethernet connection.
• Restart the BAC-A1616BC (see Resetting (Reinitializing) the BAC-A1616BC on
page 82).
• If it continues to stay illuminated, contact KMC Controls technical support.
Ethernet LEDs (Amber) Issues
The Ethernet connection has three amber LEDs below it.
• The left LED illuminates when the BAC-A1616BC has power.
• The middle LED illuminates whenever it detects an Ethernet connection.

MS/TP LEDs (Amber) Issues
Each MS/TP network has an amber LED that flickers as it receives and passes
the token during communication with the network. When the BAC-A1616BC is
powered up (but not communicating on the MS/TP port), these amber LEDs will
flash slowly, about once per second. When the MS/TP port establishes communications with the network, the amber LED for that MS/TP port will flash rapidly as it
receives and passes the token. If it is not flashing rapidly:
• Check the position of the network switch. See Network Disconnect Switches on
page 75.
• Check the isolation bulbs. See Isolation Bulbs (HPO-0054) on page 76.
• Check network connections and configuration. See Connecting to an MS/TP
Network on page 18 and Router Configuration Tool (RCT) on page 30.
• Restart the BAC-A1616BC. See Resetting (Reinitializing) the BAC-A1616BC on
page 82.
MS/TP Isolation Bulbs Issues
Each MS/TP network also has two isolation bulbs located near each network
switch. (See Illustration 61 on page 75.) Normally they are not illuminated.
• If one or both bulbs is illuminated, it indicates the network is improperly
phased (the ground potential of the controller is not the same as other controllers
on the network). Remove power and check the MS/TP and power connections.
• If one or both bulbs is blown, it indicates the voltage or current on the network exceeded safe levels. Correct the conditions and replace the bulbs.

Resetting
(Reinitializing) the BAC-A1616BC
CAUTION
To protect against equipment damage and loss of data, read ALL the
information in this section before proceeding! Before resetting the BACA1616BC, shut down or manually override all controlled equipment that
might be damaged by abrupt changes in operation.
Types
of Reset
If the BAC-A1616BC appears to be operating incorrectly or is not responding
to commands, it may need to be reset (reinitialized). After initiating, the restart
process takes at least half a minute to complete and return the Building Control
to normal operation. Three types of controller reset exist:
• A warm start is the option least disruptive to the network and should usually
be tried first.
• If problems persist, then try a cold start.
• If problems still persist, restoring all settings to their factory defaults (and
reconfiguring and reprogramming the controller) may be required.
CAUTION
When any of the three types of reset are initiated, the BAC-A1616BC
will immediately reboot. It will NOT back up data in the memory to the
nonvolatile flash memory before restarting. If needed, back up current
information (using TotalControl) before continuing.
After the Save button is pressed in the web browser a one minute time-out
period exists before changes are written to flash memory (to reduce the
number of writes to and provide longer life for the flash memory). If the red
restart button is pushed or power is removed during the time-out period, all
changes will be lost.
Performing
a WARM Start
A warm start does the following in the BAC-A1616BC:
• Keeps present values at their last known values until the Control Basic
programs update them (in contrast to a cold start).
• Restarts the controller’s Control Basic programs.
• Leaves configuration, programming, trend data, and IP address intact.
CAUTION
In the unlikely event that the checksum test in RAM fails during the warm
start, the BAC-A1616BC will automatically perform a cold start. During a cold
start, object values are returned to their relinquished defaults, which may
abruptly change the state of connected equipment.
BAC-A1616BC BACnet Building Controller
82
Installation and Operation Guide, Rev. L
SECTION 5—Operation and troubleshooting
KMC Controls
A warm start can be performed:
• By removing the power jumper for a few seconds (see Illustration 61 on page
75).
• Through the Reinitialize button on the built-in configuration System web page
(see Illustration 39 on page 50).
• Through TotalControl or BACstage (see the software documentation).
NOTE: If power is off for less than about six hours and the RAM checksum test
passes, a warm start will occur after reboot. If power is off for longer than
that or if the RAM checksum test fails, a cold start will occur after reboot.
Performing
a COLD Start
A cold start performs the same functions as a warm start except for retaining last
known present values. Instead, a cold start returns all object values back to their
relinquished defaults until they are updated by the controller (usually within a
few seconds).
CAUTION
Returning object values to their relinquished defaults may abruptly change the
state of connected equipment during the cold start. Before performing a cold
start, manually override equipment as needed.
A cold start can be performed:
• By pushing (for about one second) the red restart button (see Illustration 61 on
page 75). (The red Fault light will turn on several seconds later.)
• Through the Router Configuration Tool (see Illustration 20 on page 32).
• Through the Reinitialize button on the System web page (see Illustration 39 on
page 50).
• Through the Controller Restart button on the Admin web page (see Illustration
38 on page 49).
• Through TotalControl or BACstage (see the software documentation).
Restoring
Factory Defaults of Controller Functions
NOTE: See also Restoring Factory Defaults of Router Functions on page 84.
CAUTION
Restoring factory defaults in the controller erases object configuration. You
must then reconfigure the controller to establish normal operation.
Returning object values to their relinquished defaults may abruptly change the
state of connected equipment during the cold start. Before restoring factory
defaults, disconnect, turn off, and/or manually override controlled equipment
as needed.
Restoring controller functions to the WEB INTERFACE factory defaults:
• Restores the object database/configuration to the defaults.

KMC Controls
Mounting
Mount the CAN-A168EIO inside of a metal enclosure in the same manner as the
BAC-A1616BC. See Mounting on page 11.
Inputs, Outputs, and Power
Connect the CAN-A168EIO inputs and outputs in the same manner as the BACA1616BC. See Connecting Inputs on page 11 and Connecting Outputs on page 13.
NOTE: The maximum output current is 100 mA per output (at 0–12 VDC) or 450
mA total for all outputs.
Connect the CAN-A168EIO power in the same manner as the BAC-A1616BC. See
Connecting Power on page 26.
NOTE: The CAN-A168EIO is controlled by the BAC-A1616BC. If they are on
separate electrical circuits, the possibility exists that power could fail to
the BAC-A1616BC but remain on to the CAN-A168EIO. If this occurs,
the outputs of the CAN-A168EIO would remain in their current state
until (at least) the BAC-A1616BC has its power restored. Having the
BAC-A1616BC and all expansion modules on the same electrical circuit is
recommended.
CAUTION
If the CAN-A168EIO will control a device that has a minimum required
“off” time (e.g., a large compressor), for proper operation after a power
failure, power the CAN-A168EIO from the same electrical circuit as the BACA1616BC. The CAN-A168EIO should restart at the same time as the BACA1616BC after a power failure.
I/O
Bus
Connect the I/O Bus connector of the CAN-A168EIO to the I/O Bus connector
of the BAC-A1616BC. The modules can be installed up to 200 feet away (of total
wiring) using standard twisted-pair wiring on the serial I/O bus. Use the following
principles when connecting the BAC-A1616BC to one or more expansion modules:
• Use 18 gauge, twisted pair, shielded cable with capacitance of no more than about
50 picofarads per foot for all network wiring. Belden cable model #82760 meets
KMC requirements.
• The total wire length from the BAC-A1616BC to the CAN-A168EIO should be no
more than 200 feet. If there is a daisy chain of multiple modules, the total, combined wire length to the farthest CAN-A168EIO from the BAC-A1616BC should be
no more than 200 feet.
• Connect the – terminal in parallel with all other – terminals.
• Connect the + terminal in parallel with all other + terminals.
• Connect the shields of the cable together at each module using the S terminal.
• Connect the shield to an earth ground at one end only.

Illustration 64 on page 89.) If one expansion module is installed, it and the BACA1616BC must both have the jumper installed. If multiple expansion modules are
installed, the devices not on the ends must have the jumper removed/off (reinsert
the jumper on one pin only for possible future use).
NOTE: The BAC-A1616BC does not need to be on an end.

NOTE: Input and output numbers must correspond with the appropriate module
number set by the address switches.
NOTE: If the EIO modules are not addressed in consecutive order, gaps will exist
between the input and output objects. For example, B-BC, EIO_1, and
EIO_3 (only) would have Inputs 1–32, 49–64 and Outputs 1–24, 33–40.
B-BC and EIO_2 (only) would have Inputs 1–16, 33–48 and Outputs 1–16,

Override
Boards (Optional)
Optional output override boards are installed in the same manner as in the BACA1616BC with the exception of the horizontal instead of vertical orientation.
On the selection switch on the override board, A (Automatic) is the top position of
the switch, O (Off) is the middle position, and H (“Hand” or On) is on the bottom
position. Output 1 slot is on the left, and Output 8 slot is on the right.
See Illustration 62 on page 87, Installing Override Boards (Optional) on page 14,
Illustration 6 on page 16, and Illustration 7 on page 17.
Indicators
LED
Indicators
Communication (by I/O Bus)
This amber LED flashes quickly when there is I/O communications bus activity.
The LED will be off when there is no activity. (In contrast, the BAC-A1616BC’s
I/O LED will also flash quickly when there is I/O communications activity, but it
flashes slowly when there is no activity.)
Ready (by Power Jumper)
This green LED flashes about once per second when the controller is operating
normally.
Isolation
Bulbs (HPO-0054)
Two isolation bulbs are located near I/O bus connector. These bulbs serve three
functions:
• Removing the bulbs will open the I/O bus circuit and isolate the CAN-A168EIO
from the BAC-A1616BC and any other daisy-chained CAN-A168EIOs. (This
can also be done by pulling the connector from the pins on the board.)
• If one, or both, bulbs are lit, it indicates the bus is improperly phased.
• If the voltage or current on the bus exceeds safe levels, the bulbs operate as
fuses and may protect the expansion module from damage.
Web
Configuration Page
The State column on the Extended I/O configuration screen (see Illustration 66 on
page 92 and Illustration 68 on page 95) indicates the current conditions of attached
expansion modules:
• Running—module connected, objects configured, and operating normally.
• Silent—module has been silenced.
• Intermediate—module is rebooting (click the Refresh button to see) or is connected but not configured properly (see Illustration 65 on page 90).
• Inactive—no module properly connected and configured.

Firmware Update (CAN-A168EIO)
Firmware for the expansion modules may be included as part of the firmware for
the BAC-A1616BC. If so, after updating the firmware in the BAC-A1616BC (see
Firmware Update and Backup on page 44), a new firmware version will appear in
the Expansion I/O screen. See Illustration 67 on page 93. Follow Steps 5 through 8
(only) to also update the expansion module.
Expansion module patches might also be available separately. In that case, follow
Steps 1 through 4 and then 5 through 8.
1. Download the updated firmware file from the KMC web site to a convenient
location on your computer.
2. From the System screen, click on the Extended I/O View button. (See Illustration
66 on page 92.)

Troubleshooting (CAN-A168EIO)
Ready
LED
The CAN-A168EIO green Ready LED flashes about once per second if the device is
functioning normally. If it is not illuminated:
• Check the (1.6 A, fast-acting, 5 x 20 mm) fuse.
• Check the power connection.
• Check the connection to the BAC-A1616BC.
Communication
Issues
• The CAN-A168EIO amber Communications LED flashes quickly when there is
I/O communications bus activity. The LED will be off when there is no activity.
If there is no indication of activity when there should be, check the I/O bus
connection.
• If the CAN-A168EIO inputs appear “frozen” and outputs are not controlled
even though correct values appear in the web interface or TotalControl, check
the I/O communications bus wiring and connections.
Inputs
or Outputs Not Working
• Input and output numbers must correspond with the appropriate module
number set by the address switches. See Illustration 65 on page 90
• If inputs are “frozen” and outputs do not respond to commands, check that
the Communications LED is flashing and that the I/O bus connection is wired
correctly.
• See Inputs or Outputs Are Not Working on page 78.
Other
Difficulties
• Thoroughly check appropriate connections, wiring, and settings.
• Check that the EOL jumpers are set correctly. See Illustration 64 on page 89.
• Remove the CAN-A168EIO.
• Reset the BAC-A1616BC. See Resetting (Reinitializing) the BAC-A1616BC on
page 82.
• Contact KMC Controls technical support.

Resetting
and Silencing the CAN-A168EIO
CAUTION
A cold start returns object values to their relinquished defaults. Returning
object values to their relinquished defaults may abruptly change the state of
connected equipment during the cold start. Before performing a cold start,
manually override equipment as needed.
The expansion module can be reset (cold start) by any of three methods:
• On the Expansion I/O screen (see Illustration 68 on page 95), click on the desired
button under Reset Card. Single or multiple expansion modules (cards) can be
reset remotely.
• Remove the lower cover and push the reset button. See Illustration 62 on page
87.
• Remove the power jumper for a few seconds and reinstall. See Illustration 62
on page 87.
To facilitate troubleshooting, one or more of the expansion modules can be
“silenced” from the Expansion I/O screen. To prevent a particular module from
transmitting on the MS/TP network, check the appropriate number under Silence
Card and click the Save button. See Illustration 68 on page 95. Remember to uncheck it when resuming normal operation.
