Introduction

The InterOP8500 mounts directly to a Johnson Controls panel, replacing the Johnson FIC-1n1 control board and the PCR-102. The InterOP8500 uses the same mounting brackets and can be powered by the existing power supply (using a special adaptor cable). However, in order to retain the UL listing, the RPA-105 and the LPS-105 must be replaced by the PWRSUP8500.
In addition, the InterOP8500 uses the Johnson field termination board (FTB-102) for binary I/O and analog input. Please note that slave FICs must be replaced by separate, stand­alone InterOP8500 modules.
The InterOP8500’s edge connector plugs directly into the field termination board’s socket. Once connected, the InterOp8500 accesses the binary and analog I/O, as well
as an isolated 12VDC power supply for its binary outputs. The InterOP8500 board contains the microprocessor, a connection port for the network connection, and a port for I/O expansion. The InterOP8500 has 8 binary inputs, 15 analog inputs (which can be set to either RTD or voltage mode), and 16 digital outputs.
The Access Port allows communication with WebCTRL or SuperVision. The InterOP8500's keypad port provides the interface for serial communications with a BACview BACview

4. Place the brushed aluminum ALC label on the door of the panel.

Connecting Expander Modules

Up to five expansion Mx modules can be connected to an InterOP8500. The stack can be arranged in a single column using the optional expansion cable.
NOTE
NOTE Use only one expansion cable per
NOTENOTE stack.

Addressing

Before setting or changing the address, make sure the InterOP8500’s power is off. The InterOP8500 only reads the address when the module is turned on. After changing the address, you must transfer memory to the module. Refer to “Transferring Memory” on page 17.
The InterOP8500 has two rotary switches for addressing:
1. Remove all power to the Johnson Controls panel.
2. Open the face of the Johnson Controls panel. The panel may contain up to three Johnson Controls boards which face the front of the panel and a side-mounted board.The facing boards are stacked above one another and are located adjacent to the field termination board. Remove the facing boards and any cables (called "RPA wires") connected to them.
3. The InterOP8500 mounts directly to the field termination board using either the PWRSUP8500 or the existing power supply (RPA-105 and LPS-105) as shown in Figure 3 on page 5 and Figure 5 on page
6. Connect the InterOP8500 edge connectors to the field termination board's socket. Lock the InterOP8500 in
• For WebCTRL systems, use the switches to assign the device’s MAC (medium access control) address on the BACnet­over-ARCNET network segment. The rotary switches define the MAC address portion of the device’s BACnet address which is composed of the network address and the MAC address.
• For SuperVision systems, use the switches to assign the device’s module number.
One switch corresponds to the tens digit and the other corresponds to the ones digit. For example, if the module’s address is three, set the tens switch to zero and the ones switch to three, as shown in Figure 4 on page 5.

Power Wiring

The InterOP8500 module is designed to accept power directly from either the PWRSUP8500 or the existing Johnson power supply (LPS-105 and RPA-105). In order to retain the UL listing of your system, a field inspection is required if using a Johnson power supply or the RPA-105 and the LPS-105 must be replaced by the PWRSUP8500 or. Refer to “Using the ALC Power Supply” on page 6 for wiring with the PWRSUP8500, or to “Using the Johnson Power Supply” on page 7 for wiring with an existing Johnson power supply.
PWRSUP8500 (side-mounted)
InterOp-8500
Edge Connectors
Whenever possible, make sure the module's power and communications connections are working properly before connecting any inputs and outputs. Care should be taken to isolate power wiring from all other wiring inside the enclosure. The high and low voltage wiring must be kept as far apart from each other as is possible to avoid noise interference.
NOTE
NOTE To protect analog signals from stray
NOTENOTE noise and to minimize EMI, use shielded cable on all signal wires and low voltage power wires.
When entering, exiting, or interconnecting with the enclosure, it is better to use several small openings than one large one. The 12V binary outputs are powered by a separate source supplied through the field termination board.
CAUTION
CAUTION The InterOP8500 module is a
CAUTIONCAUTION Class 2 device (less than 30VAC.) Take appropriate isolation measures when mounting an InterOp8500 module where non-Class 2 devices or wiring are present.

2. Turn the Johnson Controls panel power switch off.
3. Turn the InterOP8500 power switch off (see Figure 1 on page 2).
4. Use the Power Adaptor Cable shown in Figure 6 to connect power from the Johnson power supply to the InterOP8500. There is only one way for the connectors on the cable to properly connect to the indicated J terminals - do not force the connectors on the wrong terminal.
5. Connect a grounding wire from the chassis of the panel to the earth ground terminal of the InterOp8500. See Figure 5 on page 6 for wiring.
6. Turn the InterOP8500 power switch on.
7. Turn the panel power switch on.
8. Make sure that the Communications Power, Logic Power +5V, and Power +12V LEDs are lit (located at the top edge of the InterOp8500 board). See “LEDs” on page 18.

Network Communications

The InterOP8500 module supports several communications options through its CMnet port.
On a SuperVision system, the InterOP8500 module can connect to a BACnet-over­ARCNET network segment at 156 kbps, or to a legacy CMnet at 9600 bps or 38.4 kbps.
When communicating at 156 kbps, the network segment uses a unique implementation of the industry standard BACnet-over-ARCNET protocol called ARC156. For a summary of the differences between ARCNET and ARC156, please refer to ARC156 CMnet Wiring Technical Instructions.
Use the appropriate wire for network communications. When using an ARC156 network, use an A3ARC156 wire available from:
Magnum Cable Corporation Cleveland, OH 44110-0500 (800) 421-0820
Use a dedicated 22AWG to 18AWG twisted pair wire for legacy CMnet (EIA-485) wiring. For more information about CMnet wiring, refer to the Technical Handbook or to ARC156 CMnet Wiring Technical Instructions.
1. Be sure the module’s power is off before

wiring it to the network.
2. Check the network communication wiring for shorts and grounds.

You can verify that the InterOP8500 is communicating on the network segment by making sure the transmit and receive LEDs are active.

Communicating with the Wo r k s tat i o n

When using SuperVision, you can connect a workstation or portable computer directly to the InterOP8500 module using an APT and the module’s Access Port (see Figure 11). This type of connection can be used to troubleshoot the module or transfer memory. If you are using an ARC156 network segment, you can receive colors while connected to a module’s Access Port if a gateway module is on the network segment. You cannot receive alarms through the Access Port, however.
Figure 8. Using an ARC156 Network Segment
If you are using a legacy CMnet (9600 bps or 38.4 kbps), set the Comm Mode jumper to CMnet, and use the baud rate DIP switch to determine the baud rate (see Figure 9 and Figure 10).
NOTE
NOTE Setting the Comm Mode jumper

Input/Output

The InterOP8500 is equipped with 8 binary inputs, 15 analog inputs, and 16 binary outputs. Any of the analog inputs can be used as digital inputs. Table 2 summarizes the requirements for conductors between the Johnson Controls field devices and the termination board.
All wiring to remote devices must be kept separate from power wiring in the area. Exposed drain wire at the termination board should be kept as short as possible, not exceeding two inches (5 centimeters). All field devices should be terminated using a correctly sized wire nut or, when terminals are provided, a solderless crimp-type connection should be made.

Analog Inputs

The InterOP8500 provides access to 15 analog inputs through the Johnson Controls field termination board. Use the formulas in the “Calculating Offset and Gain” on page 12 section to read signals from these inputs.
There are four field terminals for each AI point 1 through 7, and five for each AI point 8 through 15 (see Figure 12 on page 10). The function of these terminals is as follows:
Termination Row 1 This terminal is for
analog inputs and is connected to a multiplexer.
Termination Row 2 This terminal is
connected to a regulated +2.5VDC supply.

Unswitched and Switched Inputs

Unswitched inputs, the most common type of input, reference the sensor to the module's ground, the same ground referenced by all other unswitched input sensors. This type of input is for devices that are "floating," meaning that they are not ground referenced anywhere. Examples would be RTD inputs or dry contacts.
Switched inputs are selected one at a time, and the circuit board's ground is then referenced to the module's "Switched Ground" lead. This feature allows modules that are not floating, and that may have a small amount of ground shift, to give stable readings on their AIs. Examples would be 0­5VDC or 0-2.5VDC devices.

1. Turn the Johnson panel power switch off.
2. Determine the type of signal received by the field termination board. Consult the Johnson Controls manuals if necessary. The InterOP8500 must be configured to receive the same type of input as the previously removed Johnson boards.
3. Set the InterOp8500 jumpers as follows:
• For RTD mode insert a jumper for the individual input. The jumpers are located along the lower right side of the InterOP8500 board (see Figure 13).
NOTE
NOTE If using a solid-state current
NOTENOTE switch on a digital input, the resistance must drop low enough for the module to recognize it.
• For voltage and potentiometer mode, remove the jumpers. (Current mode can be configured by adding an external
sense resistor. For 4-20mA use a 250 ohm resistor Figure 14). Turn the InterOP8500's power switch on.

4. For each input, enter the point identifiers.
• In WebCTRL, enter the point number and the point type on the Properties page. For linear inputs, set the minimum value and maximum value to scale the point to engineering units.
For example, consider a 1 to 4.5V humidity sensor with a relative humidity of 20 to 90%. The voltage span is 3.5 volts (4.5V - 1V). The user unit span is 70% (90% - 20%). Calculate the gain and offset for a humidity sensor like this:
• In SuperVision, enter the channel number, offset, and gain using the Configure Points or Point Help feature. Valid channel numbers are listed in “Channel Numbers in SuperVision” on
page 15.
5. To verify each input’s operation, have each sensor create a known value and compare it to the condition reported on the FB’s Properties page in WebCTRL or Status page in SuperVision.

Calculating Offset and Gain

You may need to calculate the offset and gain for analog inputs to ensure the correct value is read by the InterOP8500. You can also use the custom translation table on the module driver Parameter page to read nonlinear signals from these inputs. Refer to the “Channel Numbers in SuperVision” on page 15 for details.

The InterOP8500 provides a jumper (see Figure 1 on page 2 for location) for selecting between internal and external power for Binary I/O points. The InterOP8500 provides isolation for externally powered devices and no isolation for internally powered devices. If binary outputs are present, they must be externally powered and the jumper must be set to the External position (see Figure 15 on page 13). If no binary outputs are present,

Binary Inputs

The InterOP8500 provides 8 binary inputs with direct connection to the Johnson field termination board. The inputs are for signals in the range of -38VDC up to +38VDC. A digital input microblock indicates On for any voltage between -38.0VDC and 0.9VDC; it indicates Off for any voltage between 2.5VDC and 38.0VDC. These inputs are capable of counting up to 1,000 pulses per second for use in pulse-counting configurations. Each binary input can sense either a set of non­energized contacts, or a two-state DC voltage level.
The field termination board contains three terminals for each binary input point (see Figure 12 on page 10):

Binary Outputs

The InterOP8500 provides 16 binary outputs with a direct connection to the field termination board. The 16 binary outputs have suppression. The binary output power requirement is 13.2VDC, which should be supplied by an external Class 2 power supply. The output of this external power supply is connected to a pair of field terminals located on the field termination board (see Figure 12 on page 10 for location). The maximum load through each binary output is 200mA.
The field termination board has terminal capacity for between 8 and 16 points depending upon the types of output signals provided. Each of the eight BO points located on the termination board consists of six field terminals. Each of these six field terminals can provide either one or two independently controlled binary output points. The function of these terminals is as follows:
Termination Row 1 This terminal is
connected to an input buffer (each input has a separate buffer).
Termination Rows 1-2 These terminals are independently connected to either +12VDC or isolated common (depending on

Three types of output signals are available: momentary, position, and maintained. The momentary signal is used to control a maintained or momentary relay configuration. The position signal is intended to control an actuator with a position transducer or other interface device. The maintained signal is intended to control a two-position device by delivering a maintained 0 or 12VDC signal.

Manual Operation

The HOA switches (SW3 through SW18), located as shown in Figure 1 on page 2, allow each binary output to be in placed in Auto, On, or Off mode (as shown in Figure 16).

To verify each output’s operation, lock the output to a known condition using the Function Block’s Properties page in WebCTRL or Parameter page in SuperVision. Be sure the equipment operates as specified.
SuperVision, assign each switch a digital input in the FB using channel numbers 81 through 80. Channel 81 corresponds to HOA switch number one, channel 82 corresponds to HOA switch two, and so on. Switches 10 through 15 use channel numbers 8A through 8F, and switch 16 uses channel number 80.
An off status means the HOA switch is in Auto mode. An on status means the HOA switch is in Manual mode.

Point Identifiers

A point can be identified in WebCTRL by its point number and point type; in SuperVision, a point is identified by its channel number. On both systems, expander number zero represents I/O points on the InterOP8500.

Point Identifiers in WebCTRL

Enter the point identifiers in Eikon for WebCTRL before the FB is made or on the point’s Properties page in WebCTRL. Set the type, number, and any other required parameters for each point on the InterOP8500.
1. Select a physical point type from the Point Type field.
NOTE
NOTE To determine the physical point
NOTENOTE type of an analog input, see Table 3 on page 10.
2. If the physical point type is linear, enter the appropriate minimum and maximum present values on the microblock’s dialog box.
For example, on a 0-5VDC sensor, enter 0 as the minimum and 5 as the maximum.
3. Enter the number of the input or output in the Input or Output Number field.
NOTE
NOTE Points are numbered starting with
NOTENOTE 1 for each point type. For example, HOA Status output numbers would start at 1 and could go up to 16; likewise, RTD input numbers would start at 1 and could go up to 15.
4. Enter an expander number if needed.

Channel Numbers in SuperVision

The following table shows the valid channel numbers for each point on the InterOP8500. The offset and gain values used depend on the type of sensor or actuator attached to the I/O point. You can select the channel number, offset, and gain using SuperVision’s Point Help feature or Configure Points utility. Alternatively, you can preconfigure the points by manually entering the channel number, offset, and gain in Eikon using the values shown in the following tables.

Transferring Memory

You should download memory whenever you make changes to your modules (for example, change the module number, upgrade the module driver, or change the FB).
The InterOP8500 module can store one module driver and several FBs. The number of FBs stored depends on the software you are using (see the table on page 3).
NOTE This type of download should be performed with caution. When the module is automatically restarted before and after transferring memory, any equipment controlled by the module is shut down and restarted. Downloading memory also overwrites all Function Blocks in the module causing the module to lose any stored data.

Transferring Memory in WebCTRL

The InterOP8500 module using the DRV_InterOP8500 module driver can store up to 100 FBs, depending on their size. You must be logged in to WebCTRL with the appropriate privilege to download memory.
1. Click the CFG button at the bottom of the navigation pane.
2. Click Download in the CFG tree control.
3. Click the Memory, Parameters, or Schedules boxes, depending on what you want to download.
NOTE A memory download includes a parameter and schedule download.
4. Expand the tree in the action pane, click the module you want to download to, then click Add. Click on and Add any other modules you want to download to.
5. Click the Execute Download button.
If any downloads failed, they are listed in the Failures section under the tree in the action pane. To retry a failed download, click on the module in the Failures list, click Add, and click the Execute Download button again.
NOTE Since a failed download indicates a system problem, you should never clear a failure. Locate and resolve the problem, then retry the download.
6. Click the Properties button to refresh the screen. This removes the items from the Download Items list.

Transferring Memory in SuperVision

The InterOP8500 module using the 85M module driver can store up to 59 FBs, depending on their size.
1. Log in to SuperVision on a workstation connected to the module network. You can also connect directly to the module using the Access Port; see “Communicating with the Workstation” on page 8.
2. Navigate to the module driver and look at the module status report in SuperVision to make sure the module type and number agree with the module.
• To view the module status report in SuperVision v3.0, click Tools ­Troubleshooting - Module Status.
• To view the module status report in SuperVision v2.6b, press the Esc key, type MO ,,module address,15 and press Enter.
3. Transfer memory to the module.
• In SuperVision v3.0, click Tools ­Troubleshooting - Transfer Memory to Module.
NOTE Since the module is automatically formatted when you transfer memory, you should only manually format the module if communication was not established after the memory transfer.
1. Turn the module’s power off. Make sure the module’s address switches are not set to ‘0 0’.
2. Press and hold the Format button (see Figure 1 on page 2 for location).
3. While continuing to hold the Format button, turn the module’s power on.
4. Continue to hold the button until the Error LED flashes three times in sync with the Run LED.
5. Release the Format button.
6. Transfer memory to the module. Refer to “Transferring Memory” on page 17.

LEDs

The InterOP8500 module has several LED indicators to show the status of certain functions. Table 10 on page 19 explains the Run (LED 3) and Error (LED 4) LED signals in detail to assist troubleshooting.
• In SuperVision v2.6b, download memory for This Module.
4. When the memory transfer is finished, check the module status report again. Make sure the FB List shows all the FBs you intended to transfer.

Troubleshooting

LED 1 Rx - lights when the InterOP8500
receives data through the network segment.
LED 2 Tx - lights when the InterOP8500 transmits data over the network segment.
LED 5 Communications Power - Indicates power is being supplied to the communications circuitry.

Formatting the Module

If you are unable to communicate with a module after transferring memory, you can, as a last resort, manually format the module to try to restore communication. Formatting the module erases all memory, so you need to transfer memory back to the module once it is formatted.

Protection

The InterOP8500 module is protected by internal solid state Polyswitches on the incoming power and network connections. These Polyswitches are not replaceable and will reset themselves if the condition that caused the fault returns to normal.

Production Date

To determine when a module was manufactured, check the module status report for the module in WebCTRL or SuperVision. Refer to the appropriate user’s guide for more information about the module status report.
A sticker on the back of the module also shows the date the module was manufactured. The first three characters on the sticker indicate the type of module. The next two characters show the year and month of manufacture.
