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

in the panel.
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

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

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.

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

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

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:

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.

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
NOTEIf 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.
• 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.

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 1This terminal is
connected to an input buffer (each input
has a separate buffer).
Termination Rows 1-2These terminals

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

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.
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.
LED 6 Logic Power +5V - indicates power is
being supplied to the logic circuitry.
LED 7 Power +12V - indicates power is
being supplied to the analog circuitry.
LED 8-23 Binary Outputs - indicates 12V
on the individual output.
Page 19
LED 24 Output Power - indicates power is
being received from field termination board
from the external power supply for binary
outputs and isolated binary inputs.

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.
