Description

Service Port (Micro USB)

8-Way MS/TP address DIP switch (CBX only)

The controller’s BACnet® MAC address can be set either electronically (USB or BACnet®) or manually using the 8-way

DIP swi tch.

Manual setting for ease of replacement

: Setting the 8-way DIP sw itch to an address between 1 and 254, and then cycling the power, will force the controller to update its MAC address to match the DIP settings. To replace a manually-addressed controller in the field simply copy t he DIP s witch setting of the controller you are replacing.

Electronic setting for remote configuration

: Setting the 8-way DIP s witch to all zeros will allow the MAC address

to be set electronically either locally by USB or remotely over BACnet®. It is also possible to use manual setting for initial commissioning, and then cycling the power to force the controller to update its MAC address to match the DIP settings. To enable subsequent electronic configuration, set the DIP switch to all zeros. The controller will retain the manually-set address until i t is electronically overwritten.

5-Way FLX bus address DIP switch (FLX only).

This sets the address of the FLX unit on its local FLX bus.

1. APPLY POWER TO THE CBX-8R8(-H)

1.1. Set the CBX MS/TP Address

To communicate to other MS/TP devices on a BACnet® MS/TP network, the MS/TP address must be set to a unique address within the MS/TP subnet. Where possible, there should be no gaps between addresses. The BACnet® Instance Number must also be unique for the BACnet®site.

The 8-way DIP switch can be used to set the MS/TP address when the device is first powered on.

• The address is set in binary, from 1 (0000001) to 127 (1111111).

• A switch moved to the center (towards the ‘ON’ mark) represents 1, moved

to the edge represents 0.

• The right-most switch (labeled “1”) is the least-significant bit; the switch on the left (labeled “8”) is the most-significant bit.

Software Selectable*

*Note: If it is required that t he CBX-8R8(-H)’s address can be configured r emotely via

BACnet ® or electronically via USB, t hen once the CBX-8R8(-H) has been

powered up (Installation step 1.2) the 8-way DIP switch should be set to all zeros.

Setting the 8-way DIP switch to all zeros will allow the MAC address to be set

electronica lly either local ly by USB or remotely over BACnet®.

It is also possible to use manual setting for initial commissioning, and then

cycling the power to f orce the controller to update its M AC address to match the DIP settings. To enable subsequent electronic configuration, set the DIP switch t o all zeros. The contr oller wil l retain th e manually-set address until it is electronica lly overwritten.

Note: If no address had previously been set (e.g. when the device is received from the

factory), then a device tha t is powered-on with the DIP sw itch set to all zeros will use t he last 2 digits of its s erial number as its initial address.

The MS/TP baud rate must match on all devices on the MS/TP subnet.

1.2. Connect 24 V AC Power to the CBX-8R8(-H)

For the ini tial configuration of the device, the controller must f irst be powered on .

Note: Service Port (USB connection) must no t be connec ted until after the de vice is

powered on.

The CBX-8R8(-H) requires 24 V AC supplied from an externally mounted power transformer. One conductor of the transformer must be grounded to an earth ground to avoid damage to the controller. This conductor will be wired to the COM (common) terminal of the controller. The wiring diagram is shown here:

Note: Ensure the 24 V AC and Common wires are correctly connected to the

controller. If the wires are swapped, it may cause damage to anything connected t o the controller.

2. CONNECT THE CBX TO THE MS/TP NETWORK

2.1. Attach RS-485 communication wires to the MS/TP Subnet port

Wiring the RS-485 network involves connecting the A+ (95) and B- (96) terminals in a daisy-chained configuration. One end of the network will be connected to the Fieldbus of the Network-level controller or BACnet® router. At the other end of the network, the last device must be “terminated” by either installing a 100 Ω … 120 Ω resistor or, if the last device is a CBX, users can switch the MS/TP Subnet terminator switch (located beside the MS/TP port) towards the icon. This will effectively terminate

the network. The shield (screen) must be carried through the entire network.

If the RS-485 network is wired to an eSC, then the shield will be grounded at the eSC.

If the RS-485 network is wired to a CBR, the shield must be grounded at one point on the network as shown below:

2.2. Terminate the MS/TP network

If the CBX-8R8(-H) is the last device on the RS-485 network, then its MS/TP subnet

terminator switch must be set to “in”

3. CONFIGURE THE CBX-8R8(-H) FOR BACNET® COMMUNICATIONS

3.1. CBX-8R8(-H) Default Settings

The CBX-8R8(-H) is shipped with the following default settings:

MS/TP Address: last 2 digits of the numeric portion of the seri al number*

BACnet® Instance Number:

entire numeric portion of the Controlle r's serial number*

MS/TP Baud Rate: 38,400 bps

*Note CBX serial numbers are structured as “CCBX” followed by a sequential

number fo llowed by a letter : CCBX (numeric portion) (letter)

Note If the ‘numeric portion’ of the Controller serial number ends with ‘00’ then

the MS/TP addre ss is set to 100 rather than 0 to avoid conflict with the CBR default MS/TP address.

e.g. If the Controller serial number is CCBX727458C, the ‘numeric portion’ is

727458. In that case the MS/TP address would be 58 and the BACnet

Instance Number would be 727458.

If the Controller serial num ber is CCBX812300C, the ‘numeric portion’ is

812300. In that case the MS/TP address would be 100 and the BACnet Instance Number would be 812300.

3.2. Connect CXproHD to the CBX-8R8(-H)

Connect the laptop to the CBX-8R8(-H) through a BACnet® Router such as CBR or

ASPECT® Control Engine (ACE - Matrix or Nexus Series) via Ethernet, or directly

using a standard Micro-B USB cable.

Note: When the CXproHD PC is connec ted to the CBX USB port for the first time,

you will be pr ompted to install a driver. Install “ STMicroelectronics Virtual

COM port ”, and then sel ect the corresponding serial port i n CXpro

to connect to the CBX. If you are using Windows 8.1 this driver may not be available by default, please c ontact Cylon TSG for a copy of the drive r.

Once connected to the controller, it is possible to change the settings on the controller using CXpro

- for details see the CXproHD User Guide (MAN0133)

available from the Cylon support site (http://support.cylon.com

Note: It is not requ ired to cha nge the Site Number or Comms Controller preset

values. It is however recommended to match the Field Controller address with the MS/TP Station a ddress (see below).

3.3. (If required) Set Device Instance & MS/TP Address

Note: This is only possible if the MS/TP address switch is set to Zero.

3.4. Confirm or set MS/TP parameters

MS/TP Baud Rate is the Baud rate at which all the other devices on the subnet (Fieldbus) are communicating. All devices must be configured for the same baud rate for communications on the subnet.

Device ID is the BACnet device instance number. Every BACnet controller within the site must receive a unique BACne t instance number to ensure pr oper communications. This BA Cnet i nstance number should be unique even across subnets. By default, it is set is set to the entire numeric portion of the Controller's serial number. See the Cylon BACnet® Manual (MAN0106US) for further information.

Device Name is the user-assigne d name for the controller. This is not necessary for BACnet communications; however, it is useful to name each controller for organizational purposes.

APDU Timeout Seconds leave this at the default setting of 3 seconds.

MS/TP Station is the device MS/TP address. This is the unique address users

must give each controller on the subnet (Fieldbus).

MS/TP Max Masters is the maximum address that this controller will poll when in the “poll for masters” state. Because thi s is a BACnet master device, it will go into this state to search for the next BACnet master device to pass the token to. To optimize the speed of the netw ork, it is recommended that the last master device on the subnet be set at the maximum MS/TP addre ss on the network. For example, if the last device on the subnet (Fieldbus) is the CBX at address 63, then users would set the MS/TP Max Masters to 63. This will speed up communications as it will not go into the “poll for masters” state and immediately pass the token back to the eSC or CBM at MS/TP address 0.

See the Cylon BACnet® Manu al (MAN0106US ) for more details regarding this functionality and for other tips on optimizing the BACnet network.

4. CONNECT THE CBX-8R8(-H) TO FLX UNITS

The I/O capabilities of a CBX-8R8(-H) can be extended by the addition of FLX-8R8 and FLX-8R8-H devices.

These are connected to the CBX-8R8(-H) by means of a standard module interconnector (FLX bus connector), one of which is shipped with each FLX device.

4.1. Set the FLX address

Each of the FLX units connected to a single CBX must have an address that is unique on that CBX’s FLX bus. The address is set by the 5-way DIP switch.

The terminals on a FLX unit will be accessible within the CBX Strategy with point numbers prefixed by this address as illustrated below:

Inter-module bus

Note: If there are 2 devices on the same FLX bus w ith the same address –including

0, the address of the CBX - then the bottom (yellow) status LED wil l blink slowly to indicate a FLX bus address clash

4.2. Join or terminate the FLX bus

Place the devices side-by-side and place the FLX bus connector into

the two adjacent sockets at once.

The end device on a CBX set (either a FLX device or the CBX itself if no FLX devices are connected) must have a terminator inserted into its interconnector socket. One terminator is shipped with each CBX-8R8(-H) device.

4.3. (If required) Set up FLX bus extension

If a FLX device cannot be located beside a CBX device or another FLX device then The FLX bus can be connected by cable using two FLX-RMC Remote Module Connectors, sold separately.

Connect cables to the two supplied FLX-RMC screw-terminal connectors as shown above with the appropriate length of cable.

Note: Use Copper or Copper Clad Aluminum conductors only. Multiple wired

connections can be used between FLX mod ules, but the t otal FLX bus FL X bus length must not exceed the following lengths:

Use CXproHD to set the controller’s Date and Time.

Alternatively, if a device on the site has been set up as a Time Sync Master, then the CBX-8R8(-H) controller time will be automatically updated.

5.2. Set I/O to a known Safe Mode

Before connecting equipment to the CBX-8R8(-H) or FLX devices, carry out a Wipe

Controller command from CXpro

to put I/O into a Kno wn Safe Mode :

• In CXpro

select Wipe Controller from the Controller tab on the Ribbon .

In the Wipe Controller dialog, click in the ' Wipe All' checkbox.

• Click on the ' Wipe ' button.

When the Wipe operation is complete, a ' Controller Wiped ' message is displayed:

5.3. Set up the CBX and connected FLX in a Site

In the Cylon Configuration Utility (CCConfig) select the CBR Comms Controller to which the CBX device is connected, and add a new controller by clicking the Add button:

In the New Field Controller Details dialog change the Controller Type to CBX8R8.

This will cause an I/O Modules table to become visible in the New Field Controller

Details dialog:

Resistance Input mode (Passive Input)

Passive Inputs are all those devices that vary in resistance, including switch contacts. These all require a current supplied by the CBX-8R8(-H) terminal so that this resistance can be measured.

The passive sensor types supported by the CBX-8R8(-H) are:

• Pre-programmed Passive Temperature Sensors.

• Potentiometer (normally used as a 0 to 10 KΩ or a 1 KΩ to 11 KΩ variable

resistor to give a 0 to 100 % output).

• Volt-Free Digital Input (the controller strategy measures the contact resistance

and gives a 0 or 1 output).

• Straightforward Resistance measurement. This can be used with the Make

Linear block to give a temperature output for temperature sensors that are not

factory pre-programmed into the CBX-8R8(-H).

In CXproHD simply select ‘Resistance ’ sensor type in the Point Module and select

Pulsed in the Advanced parameters (the Pulsed option increases accuracy by

eliminating any self-heating in the passive temperature sensor, while the Continuous option can trade absolute accuracy for speed).

In Passive Input Mode the Uniputs™ and Universal Inputs configure like this:

Note: The refere nce voltage can be pulsed or continuous, using the solid state

switch.

A pulsed reference gives optimum accuracy by eliminating self-heating in

the sensor, and this is the defa ult setting.

UniPutTM 24 V AC Detection

If 24 V AC is connected to a Uniput™ terminal, then the 24 V AC Detect circuit will detect this and will open switch SW1. SW1 stays open for the duration of the 24 V AC state. When 24 V AC is removed from the Uniput™ terminal then the short circuit or open circuit states can again be detected.

Voltage input mode (Active Input)

Note: Inp ut Impedance for Univer sal Input terminals is 130 kΩ.

Input Impe dance for Uniput™ terminals is 40 kΩ.

The 0 … 10 V input is used for Active analog and binary measureme nts. ‘Active’ means that there is no current supplied by the CBX-8R8(-H) fo r the sensor, as the signal is generated completely by the Sensor.

The ‘mV’ sensor setting gives a value between 0 and 10,000, which represents voltage in mV.

In 0 ... 10V Input Mode, the Uniputs™ configure like this:

CBX System

TECHNICAL DATASHEET & INSTALLATION GUIDE

Current Input mode (Active Input)

The Current Input is used for 0 ... 20 mA or 4 ... 20 mA Active sensors.

4 ... 20 mA scaling can easily be achieved using CXproHD by entering range

values in the Point Module ‘ Advanced ’ parameters.

Output modes

UniPut™ terminals can generate an output as follows:

Analog Output 0 ... 10 V, 20 mA, 12-bit resolution Digital Output 0 ... 10 V, 20 mA Relay Contacts with ability to switch up to 24 V AC

Maximum Load: 24 V AC, 2 (1) A resistive (inductive) for all relay contacts

Analog 0 … 10 V output mode

In Analog 0 ... 10 V output Mode, the UniputsTM configure themselves like this:

where the D/A is the digital to analog converter. All circuitry is fully protected against 24 V AC .

Digital 0 … 10 V output mode

In Digital 0 ... 10 V output Mode, the Uniputs™ configure in the same way as for analog:

In this mod e the output toggle s between the volt ages defined as “ON” and “OFF”.

Relay Mode

In Relay mode the UniputsTM are configured with a single relay common for each half of the terminals:

Auxiliary Power outputs

The CBX and FLX modules each have two 18 V DC outputs, for I/O devices that require loop power.

For 3-wire connections return can be through any COM terminal, but it is recommended that Auxiliary power wiring is through terminal 14, the COM between the two Auxiliary power terminals.

The DC output terminals provide a minimum of 18 V DC, but the combined load (on each IO module) must remain below 60 mA.

Using a Keypad with the CBX

A CBT-STAT or UCU Room Display keypad can be connected to the CBX at the CBT-STAT port.

Note: If UCU Room Display is used, refer to t he DS0064 UCU10FC/K for the

corresponding Strategy Point Setup.

Output Override

HOA variants (CBX-8R8-H, FLX-4R4-H and FLX-8R8-H) include hardware override switches for each of their outputs. The override controls are located behind the flap on the front of the device:

CBX-8R8-H

FLX-4R4-H

FLX-8R8-H

And consist of a switch and a rotary knob for each output:

The channel number correspon ding to the switch is shown directly below the switch.

The switch can be set to one of 3 position s:

When a switch is set to the

Centre position

the corresponding output channel is set to Auto mode – the output is controlled by strategy.

The rotary knob has no effect in this mode.

When a switch is set to the

Bottom position

the corresponding output is forced to Off – both the strategy setting and the rotary knob have no effect.

When a switch is set to the Top position the corresponding

output is set to Manual mode

• for digital outputs, the output is forced on

• for analog outputs the rotary knob setting controls the

output value.

Note: Manual positi on is super vised, i.e. the strategy is

aware of the manual value.

The Controller Strategy can determine if an override is in place is by connecting to the Override point on the output module:

The value of the Override point will be '0' when the output is active and ‘1’ when the point has been manually overridden. This allows the strate gy to react to the fact that a point has been overridden.

Note: The corres ponding terminal LED will indicate the override condition.
