What is a i-Vu® Open Link?

The i-Vu® Open Link is a BACnet device router that acts as a gateway between the BACnet IP network and a BACnet MS/TP network. The i-Vu® Open Link increases the capacity of an Open system, allowing individual MS/TP networks (with up to 60 Open controllers each) to be connected via a common BACnet/IP backbone.

The i-Vu® Open Link can also integrate third-party equipment, supporting BACnet MS/TP, BACnet/IP, Modbus RTU, Modbus/IP, and LON FT-10 protocols. The i-Vu® Open Link has one EIA-485 port for connecting to the Open or third

-party MS/TP bus, and one jumper-configurable EIA-232/EIA-485 port for connecting to a Modbus or LonWorks network. It also has one 10/100 Base-T Ethernet port for connecting to the building LAN and integrating to third-party IP control networks.

Wiring the i-Vu® Open Link for power

WARNING Do not apply line voltage (mains voltage) to the controller's ports and terminals.

CAUTIONS

• The i-Vu® Open Link is powered by a Class 2 power source. Take appropriate isolation measures when mounting it in a control panel where non-Class 2 circuits are present.

• Carrier controllers can share a power supply as long as you:

• Maintain the same polarity.

○ Use the power supply only for Carrier controllers.

To wire for power

1 Make sure the i-Vu® Open Link’s power switch is in the OFF position to prevent it from powering up before

you can verify the correct voltage.

2 Remove power from the power supply.

3 Pull the screw terminal connector from the controller's power terminals labeled 24 Vac/Vdc and Ground.

4 Connect the transformer wires to the screw terminal connector.

5 Apply power to the power supply.

6 Measure the voltage at the i-Vu® Open Link’s power input terminals to verify that the voltage is within the

operating range of 21.6 – 26.4 Vac or 23.4 - 28.6 Vdc.

7 Insert the screw terminal connector into the i-Vu® Open Link's power terminals.

8 Turn on the i-Vu® Open Link's power.

9 Verify that the Run LED (a dot in the lower right corner of the Module Status LED) begins blinking. The Module

Status LED will display 8 for about 5 seconds and then reverts to 0, until controllers have been found and downloaded. There is a chase pattern when the controller is running with no errors.

Addressing the i-Vu® Open Link

i-Vu Open Control hardware, when used in conjunction with i-Vu Open routers (i-Vu® Open Link and i-Vu® Open Router), has a convenient feature of automatic addressing. To address the i-Vu® Open Link for third-party integration, using i-Vu® or Field Assistant, go to Driver Properties > Protocols > Properties tab. Refer to the appropriate protocol Integration Guide for further details.

Page 10

Installing the i-Vu® Open Link

The i-Vu® Open Link needs two addresses, one for the Open network and one for the IP Network.

The i-Vu® Open Link needs...

That is unique on the...

Notes

A router address

Open network

You set the i-Vu® Open Link address on the controller's rotary switches. (1 - 99)

NOTE The i-Vu® Open Link address is also used to autogenerate the BACnet device instance/name for the router and the MS/TP network number for the connected Open network. See Configuring BACnet device instance and network number.

An IP address

IP Network

Set the IP Addr DIP switch to choose one of the following:

• DHCP — to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server

If there is no DHCP server, the following

are the default

IP settings:

○ 192.168.168.xx, where xx = router address

○ subnet mask = 255.255.255.0

○ default gateway = 192.168.168.254

• Assigned

— a

custom IP address

To set the i-Vu® Open Link address on the Open network

CAUTION The i-Vu® Open Link address must be unique on the IP and Open network.

1 If wired for power, turn off the controller's power.

The controller only reads the rotary switch positions during power up or upon reset.

2 Use the rotary switches to set the address. Set the Tens (10's) switch to the tens digit of the address, and set

the Ones (1's) switch to the ones digit. Valid addresses are 1 - 99.

EXAMPLE If the controller’s address is 25, point the arrow on the Tens (10's) switch to 2 and the arrow on the Ones (1's) switch to 5.

10's 1's

3 Turn on the i-Vu® Open Link's power.

CAUTION The factory default setting is 00 and must be changed to successfully install your i-Vu® Open Link.

Page 11

Installing the i-Vu® Open Link

To choose an IP addressing scheme

Carefully plan your addressing scheme to avoid duplicate IP addresses.

• If there is a DHCP server on the network, and, if you have a single i-Vu® Open Link or multiple i-Vu® Open Links that exist on the SAME subnet, use DHCP addressing. Skip to the section To obtain an IP address using DHCP (page 7).

• If you have multiple i-Vu® Open Links that reside on different subnets, you cannot use DHCP addressing. Instead, give each i-Vu® Open Link an assigned IP address. Skip to the section To assign a custom IP address (page 7).

NOTE This network configuration also requires that you configure IP Broadcast Management Devices (BBMDs). See To set up BACnet Broadcast Management Devices. (page 17)

To obtain an IP address using DHCP

1 Turn the i-Vu® Open Link's power off.

2 Set the IP Addr DIP switch DHCP to On.

3 Turn the i-Vu® Open Link's power on. The DHCP server assigns an IP address to the i-Vu® Open Link.

CAUTION If the DHCP server is not found, the following default IP address settings will be used:

• IP address = 192.168.168.xx, where xx = i-Vu® Open Link address (rotary switch settings)

• Subnet Mask = 255.255.255.0

• Default Gateway = 192.168.168.254

To assign a custom IP address

1 Obtain the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway address for the controller from the facility network

administrator.

2 Turn the i-Vu® Open Link's power off.

3 Set the i-Vu® Open Link's IP Addr DIP switch Assigned to On.

4 Configure the i-Vu® Open Link by setting the Router Config Mode DIP switch Console to On using a terminal

program such as PuTTY or Hyperterminal.

5 Turn the i-Vu® Open Link's power on.

PREREQUISITES

NOTES

• If you cannot determine the media type or connections of the third-party device, contact your third-party

representative.

• Use the same polarity throughout the network segment.

• Repeaters are required for more than 31 devices. See your third-party device manufacturer's

recommendations.

• To reduce communication and data errors, terminate each end of an EIA-485 network with a resistor whose

value equals the network's characteristic impedance. Some third-party manufacturers provide a built-in resistor that you enable or disable with a jumper. Make sure that only devices at the end of a network have termination enabled.

EXAMPLE If an EIA-485 2-wire network's characteristic impedance is 120 Ohms, terminate one pair by placing a 120 Ohm resistor across the Net+ and NET- connectors of the i-Vu® Open Link. Terminate the other pair by placing a 120 Ohm resistor across the + and - connectors of the furthest third-party controller.

• A solid receive light on the i-Vu® Open Link indicates a wiring or polarity problem.

Communicating through the Local Access port with a USB Link

Using a computer and a USB Link, you can communicate locally with the i-Vu® Open Link to download or to troubleshoot.

CAUTIONS

• Maintain polarity when controllers share power.

• Failure to maintain polarity while using the USB Link on a computer that is grounded via its AC adapter may

damage the USB Link and the controller.

• If multiple controllers share power but polarity was not maintained when they were wired, the difference

between the controller's ground and the computer's AC power ground could damage the USB Link and the controller. If you are not sure of the wiring polarity, use a USB isolator between the computer and the USB Link. Purchase a USB isolator online from a third-party manufacturer. Plug the isolator into your computer's USB port, and then plug the USB Link cable into the isolator.

PREREQUISITES

• For the i-Vu® or Field Assistant application to communicate with the controller, the controller must have been

downloaded with at least its driver.

• Laptop with USB port

• USB Link (Part #USB-L)

Configuring BACnet Device Instance and network number

All BACnet Open controllers must have a unique Device Instance and Name. These BACnet addresses are automatically generated and usually do not require modification. However, sometimes you need to override the automatic addressing assignments.

Autogenerated addressing scheme:

The i-Vu® Open Link's rotary address setting determines the automatic BACnet addressing scheme for the connected Open network.

Legend

16 = Carrier's BACnet Vendor ID xx = i-Vu® Open Link's rotary switch address (BACnet Device Instance address) yy = Open controller's rotary switch address (MS/TP MAC address)

For the i-Vu® Open Link:

• BACnet Device Instance Number = 1600xx

• BACnet Device Instance Name = device1600xx

• BACnet IP Network Number = 1600

• BACnet MS/TP Network Number = 161xx

• BACnet ARC156 Network Number = 163xx

• Port S1 MS/TP MAC Address = 0 (fixed)

Page 20

Installing the i-Vu® Open Link

For the Open controllers connected to the i-Vu® Open Link

• BACnet MS/TP Device Instance Number = 161xxyy

• BACnet ARC156 Device Instance Number = 163xxyy

• BACnet MS/TP Device Instance Name = device161xxyy

• BACnet ARC156 Device Instance Name = device163xxyy

• BACnet MS/TP or ARC156 MAC Address = yy

• BACnet MS/TP Network Number = 161xx (learned from the router, defaults to 16101 if no i-Vu® Open Link is

operating)

If the BACnet automatic settings need to be changed, launch the

Router Configuration utility using a terminal

program. See To assign a custom IP address for instructions on connecting to and using a terminal program.

To change the BACnet settings:

1 Enter the BACnet selection# from the menu. Type the new setting and click Enter. The new setting will appear

on the Router Configuration screen.

2 Cycle power to the router for the new settings to take effect.

NOTE If the BACnet MS/TP or ARC156 network number of the router is assigned and not auto-generated, and the Open controllers connected to that router are set such that their BACnet settings are auto-generated, then the Open controller BACnet settings will be auto-generated based on the assigned MS/TP network number in the router:

Example A router's BACnet MS/TP or ARC156 network has been assigned to 200.

If the connected Open controllers are using autogenerate, then their settings will be:

BACnet MS/TP Network Number = 200

BACnet Device Instance Number = 200yy

BACnet Device Instance Name = device200yy

BACnet MS/TP MAC Address = yy

Page 21

Installing the i-Vu® Open Link

To set up BACnet Broadcast Management Devices (BBMDs)

If your system has multiple routers that reside on different IP subnets, you must set up one router on each IP subnet as a BACnet/IP Broadcast Management Device (BBMD).

Every subnet with a router must have a BBMD configured in order for broadcasts from controllers on that subnet to reach the rest of the routers on the network.

NOTES

• The i-Vu® Standard or Plus application - If the i-Vu® web server is on a separate subnet than the rest of the

routers, the internal router must be assigned an IP address and configured as a BBMD.

• The i-Vu® Pro application - If the i-Vu® Pro server is on a separate subnet than the rest of the routers, you

must register it as a foreign device.

Use the BBMD Configuration Tool to:

• Define the Broadcast Distribution Table (BDT) in each BBMD

• Enable an i-Vu® Control System to find routers that are on different subnets

• Allow controllers on one subnet to communicate with controllers on other subnets

• Enable the i-Vu® application to see, upload, or configure controllers on different subnets

Page 22

Installing the i-Vu® Open Link

To set up BBMDs using the BBMD Configuration Tool

1 Assign an IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway for each i-Vu® Open Link on the IP network. See

Addressing the i-Vu® Open Link (page 5).

2 Acquire the BBMD Configuration Tool from the Tech Tools DVD or from the Carrier Control Systems Support

Site http://www.hvacpartners.com/. This is a stand-alone executable file and no installation is necessary.

3 Make a list of the IP addresses for each router that will function as a BBMD in your system.

In the above illustration, the i-Vu® Open Link, address 172.18.1.2, must be configured as a BBMD for the

172.18 subnet, while the i-Vu® Open Link, address 172.16.1.15, must be configured as a BBMD for the

172.16 subnet.

CAUTIONS

○ Define only one BBMD per subnet. Multiple BBMD's on an IP subnet disrupt network communications.

○ Unless explicitly modified, the UDP Port for BACnet/IP is 0xBAC0 (47808). Do not change this parameter

unless you made a change in the router.

4 In a text editor such as Notepad, create a list of the routers that will be BBMD's. List each IP address on a

separate line. (Maximum of 50 IP addresses per file)

5 Save the file to your folder of choice with a .bdt extension instead of .txt.

NOTE ".bdt" is a Broadcast Distribution Table file.

6 Open the BBMD Configuration Tool.

7 In the IP Address or Host Name field, type the IP address of the router that functions as the BBMD (BACnet

Broadcast Management Device) for its subnet.

8 To check if the router has an existing BBMD table, click the Broadcast Distribution Table Read button.

9 If the Broadcast Distribution Table contains IP addresses that are not in your .bdt file, verify that they are

valid BBMD's and, if so, add them to your .bdt file.

NOTES

○ The BDT's in each BBMD should be identical. Repeat this entire process whenever a BBMD is added.

○ If needed, disable the checkbox next to Show Broadcast to limit the amount of scrolling text that is

displayed.

10 Click the Broadcast Distribution Table Browse button and select the .bdt file that you made in step 4.

11 Verify that the appropriate IP address is still in the IP Address or Host Name field.

12 Click the Broadcast Distribution Table Write button.

13 Click Read again to verify that the new .bdt file was written to the router. See example below.

Page 23

Installing the i-Vu® Open Link

NOTE If you have a large BDT, you may have to re-size the BBMD Configuration Tool window to see the Broadcast Distribution Table.

14 Using the next IP address in the .bdt file, repeat steps 7 through 14 until every file has been updated.

NOTE To clear the BBMD entries from a router, follow the steps above using an empty (blank) .bdt file. A cleared BBMD table contains just the router’s IP address without entries in the BBMD table, as shown below.

Configuring i-Vu® Open Link Driver Properties

After you find and upload the i-Vu® Open Link in the i-Vu® or Field Assistant interface, you may want to customize the i-Vu® Open Link's settings for your applications. You can change settings on the Driver Properties page.

1 In the i-Vu® or Field Assistant interface, right-click the i-Vu® Open Link in the navigation tree and select

Driver Properties.

2 Adjust the driver as desired.

Driver

On the Driver page, you can change the following properties:

• Backup battery conservation settings. See table below.

• Module clock synchronization and failure. See table below.

• Network Input microblock communication properties.

Backup Battery

Turn off internal backup battery after ___ days to conserve battery life (shutoff date/time)

How long backup battery should run after power loss.

TIP Downloading activates the battery backup. To conserve battery life when you know the i-Vu® Open Link will be without power for an extended period after downloading (for example, during shipment):

Verify the Archive Valid

LED is lit, then set this field to 0.

2 After you install the i-Vu® Open Link and apply power, enter a number

greater than 0.

BACview Control

Keypad inactivity timeout (minutes)

Log out the user (if a user-level password is required), turn off the backlight, and display the standby screen after this period of inactivity.

Keypad user

-level password

Numeric password user must enter to access system through a BACview® device.

TouchScreen Control

TouchScreen Schedule Edit Enable

Check this field to allow a user to edit this controller's schedules from an Equipment Touch's Schedules screen.

Module Clock

Clock Fail Date and Time

Date and time the control program uses when controller's real-time clock is invalid.

TIP Use an occupied date and time (such as a Tuesday at 10 a.m.) so the equipment does not operate in unoccupied mode if the controller loses power during occupancy.

Configuring i-Vu® Open Link Driver Properties

Page 25

Configuring i-Vu® Open Link Driver Properties

Time Synch Sensitivity (seconds)

When the controller receives a time sync request, if the difference between the controller's time and the time sync's time is greater than this field's value, the controller's time is immediately changed. If the difference is less than this field's value, the controller's time is slowly adjusted until the time is correct.

BACnet COV Throttling

Enable COV Throttling

Under normal circumstances, COV Throttling should be enabled to prevent excessive network traffic if an object's COV Increment is set too low. See EXCEPTION below.

When enabled, if an object generates excessive COV broadcasts (5 updates in 3 seconds), the driver automatically throttles the broadcasts to 1 per second. Also, if the object's value updates excessively for 30 seconds, an alarm is sent to the iVu® or Field Assistant application listing all objects that are updating excessively. A Return-to-normal alarm is sent only after all objects have stopped updating excessively.

EXCEPTION: In rare circumstances, such as process control, a subscribing object may require COV updates more frequently than once per second. For these situations, clear this checkbox, but make sure that your network can support the increased traffic. You will also need to disable the Excessive COV alarms under the driver's Common Alarms.

Device

On the Driver

> Device

page, you can change the following properties:

• BACnet device object properties for the i-Vu® Open Link

• i-Vu® Open Link communication

Configuration

NOTE The three APDU fields refer to all networks over which the i-Vu® Open

Link communicates.

Max Masters and Max Info Frames

Max Masters - defines the highest MS/TP Master MAC address on the MS/TP

network.

For example, if there are 3 master nodes on an MS/TP network, and their MAC addresses are 1, 8, and 16, then Max Masters would be set to 16 (since this is the highest MS/TP MAC address on the network).

This property optimizes MS/TP network communications by preventing token passes and “poll for master” requests to non-existent Master nodes.

In the above example, MAC address 16 knows to pass the token back to MAC address 1, instead of counting up to MAC address 127. Each MS/TP master node on the network must have their Max Masters set to this same value. The default is 127.

Max Info Frames - defines the maximum number of responses that will be sent when the i-Vu® Open Link receives the token. Any positive integer is a valid number. The default is 10 and should be ideal for the majority of applications. In cases where the i-Vu® Open Link is the target of many requests, this number could be increased as high as 100 or 200.
