Carrier OPN-UPC Communications Card
The Carrier OPN-UPC, widely known as the UPC Open, is a high-performance Universal Protocol Converter essential for integrating legacy Carrier CCN equipment into modern building automation systems. As a veteran-grade BACnet MS/TP Communications Card, it eliminates the need for complex on-site engineering by providing a pre-programmed interface that translates proprietary data into open-protocol BACnet objects. This hardware supports EIA-485 physical layers and is a standard requirement for linking Carrier chillers, rooftops, and 1row air-side systems to a third-party Building Automation System (BAS) or the i-Vu Building Automation System. Designed for demanding environments, it operates efficiently between -22°F and 150°F and utilizes a 24VAC/DC power source. The onboard integrated air source linkage algorithm and demand limiting capabilities allow for advanced energy management and i-Vu Tenant Billing support without additional logic programming.
Key Benefits for Technicians and Contractors- Plug-and-Play Integration: Leverages a vast library of CCN to BACnet mapping templates for seamless system discovery.
- Robust Network Protection: Features non-replaceable solid-state resettable polyswitches to protect communication ports from transient surges.
- High Data Integrity: Supports up to 1050 BACnet objects with high-speed ARCNET 156kbps or standard MS/TP selectable via DIP switches.
- Local Access Port: Provides a dedicated 115.2 kbps connection for rapid Field Technician startup and troubleshooting.
- Extended Data Retention: Includes a CR2032 Lithium battery to maintain a real-time clock and up to 10,000 hours of trend data during power loss.
How do I connect the Carrier OPN-UPC to a non-Carrier BAS?
Simply wire the 3-pin BAS Port (Port 1A) to your BACnet MS/TP network and use the rotary DIP switches to set the MAC address. Use the Snap graphical programming tool if custom mapping beyond the standard templates is required.
Does this card support Carrier ZS Sensors?
Yes, the Rnet port enables direct connection for Carrier communicating space sensors and Equipment Touch interfaces, simplifying the wiring for single-zone rooftop applications.
Can I use a single OPN-UPC for multiple chillers?
While typically used for one piece of equipment, it supports leading/lagging configurations for up to three Carrier chillers when wired in a CCN daisy-chain to the Card's 5-pin CCN Port.
