CCN Addressing
The Key to the CCN BUS is Addressing:
An address is required of all devices on the bus.
No two devices on the same CCN system may ever
have the same address.
A CCN and CCS address consists of a 3 digit bus
number and a 3 digit device number.

Copyright Carrier Corp. 2008

11

Addressing Rules
CCN BUS is Addressing:
Example Address: ( 024 , 127)
Device Number

Bus Number

Legal bus numbers are 0 to 239 inclusive

The primary bus number is always 0
Note: All CCN device come from the factory at bus 0
Secondary bus numbers are 1 to 239 inclusive.

Legal device numbers are 1 to 239 inclusive.

A repeaters are not addressed.

Wiring is daisy chained between control devices

For a simple and multiple TEMP system, the only addressing rule is
to never duplicate addresses.
For a simple TEMP and multiple TEMP system, bus communication
is at a minimum, and therefore usually a single bus is sufficient.

Broadcast Communications Rules

*

Many CCN devices may broadcast information over the network such as time of day or point
values like outdoor air temperature, or relative humidity.

Broadcast information is sent (or made available) to all Network Devices.

Every BUS should have one device configures as a the Broadcast Acknowledger

The Broadcast Acknowledger acts as a spokes person for the entire Bus by acknowledging
back to the sender that a successful broadcast was received.

Time broadcaster's send their internal clock time and holiday status twice a day at 1:00 AM
and 1:00 PM, as well as when requested to send time by another Network Device.
