“Power Up and Initial Checkout,” page 16.

battery connector, and apply power to the unit. See

Grounding

An earth ground spade lug (0.187") is provided on the base of the EC-BOS-6AX for connection to earth ground. For maximum protection from electrostatic discharge or other forms of EMI, connect the supplied earth grounding wire to this lug and a nearby earth ground (see Figure 3 on page 13). Keep this wire as short as possible.

Power is provided for EC-BOS-6AX plug-in accessory modules through the 20-pin accessory connectors. However, you should also connect the earth ground spade lug of each accessory module to ground in the same manner.

Power Wiring

The EC-BOS-6AX must be powered by an approved 15 Vdc power source. This can be either1 an external wall mount AC adapter (EC-WPM-XX) or the DIN-mount power module (EC-NPB-PWR/-UN). The EC-BOS-6AX controller does not include an on/off switch. To apply power, plug in the power connector to either the EC-BOS-6AX (if EC-WPM-XX) or the EC-NPB-PWR/-UN.

The EC-BOS-6AX controller does not include an on/off switch. To apply power, you either:

• if EC-WPM-XX, plug in the power connector to the EC-BOS-6

• if EC-NPB-PWR, plug in its 2-position power connector.

• if EC-NPB-PWR-UN, energize the AC circuit (90-263Vac) wired to that module.

1. In some markets, a fourth power option is available: an EC-NetAX IO-34 accessory module, which is a combination of the EC-NPB-PWR module and two EC-NetAX IO-16 modules (plus two extra relays). Please refer to its mounting and wiring instructions document for more details. For general information on accessory modules, see “About Accessory

Modules,” page 9.

Wiring Details

Power Wiring

Caution Do not connect both the EC-WPM-XX and EC-NPB-PWR/-UN supplies at the same time, or

equipment damage may result.

If desired, you can use the wall mount EC-WPM-XX in your office (to initially commission the EC-BOS-6AX), and then install the EC-BOS-6AX at the job using an EC-NPB-PWR/-UN module. The following sections provide more details:

• EC-WPM-XX (Wall Power Modules)

• EC-NPB-PWR (24Vac-powered in-line module)

• EC-NPB-PWR-UN (90-263Vac powered in-line module)

EC-WPM-XX

All models of wall power modules (US, EU, UK) are self-contained, isolated, switching power supplies designed to plug into a standard building power receptacle of appropriate voltage. To supply power to the EC-BOS-6AX, you then simply plug the barrel connector plug from the EC-WPM-XX into the barrel power connector on the EC-BOS-6AX base board (see Figure 5 on page 15).

Caution Do not plug the barrel connector plug from the EC-WPM-XX into the EC-BOS-6

until all other

mounting and wiring is completed. See “Power Up and Initial Checkout,” page 16.

EC-NPB-PWR

Using the EC-NPB-PWR module lets you power the EC-BOS-6AX from a dedicated Class 2, 24Vac transformer, or from a 24Vdc power supply. If installing EC-NetAX IO-16 modules, the EC-NPB-PWR installs as tghe last (end) module in the chain. See

Note If powering from the transformer, do not power any other equipment with it. Otherwise, conducted noise

problems may result. Also, do not ground either side of the transformer’s secondary.

Located at the bottom of the power module is a 2-position power connector, and an earth ground spade lug, as shown in Figure 3.

Ethernet

Two, female 10/100-Mbit Ethernet connections are provided on the EC-BOS-6AX. These are RJ-45 connectors labeled LAN2 and LAN1. Use a standard Ethernet patch cable for connecting to a hub or Ethernet switch. An activity LED for each Ethernet port is visible, and are labeled “LAN2” and “LAN1” on the cover.

The factory-default IP address for LAN1 on an EC-BOS-6AX is 192.168.1.12n, where the last numeral n in the address matches the EC-BOS-6AX’s serial number, and subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. By default, LAN2 on an EC-BOS-6AX is disabled. Refer to the EC-BOSAX Install and Startup Guide for details on changing IP address.

Note Typically, you only use LAN1 (primary port), unless you have a specific application for isolating a

driver’s network traffic to a separate LAN, using LAN2. Do not use LAN2 as the primary port.

Serial

There are two serial ports on the EC-BOS-6AX base unit. Each has a UART capable of operation up to 115,200 baud. At the bottom of the board (see Figure 5), the left port is an RS-232 port using an DB-9 plug (male) connector. To the right of this is a two-wire with shield, isolated RS-485 port, using a screw-terminal connector plug.

Note A green “receive” LED and yellow “transmit” LED are provided for each serial port. These LEDs are

located on the bottom board, on the opposite side of the serial connectors (see Figure 2 on page 7). These LEDs are labeled on the board (COM1, COM2) and are not visible with the cover on.

RS-232—An RS-232 serial port using a male DB-9 connector always operates as COM1. You can use standard DB-9 serial cables with this port. The EC-BOS-6AX is a serial DTE device, such another DTE device (PC, for example) requires a “null modem” cable. If connecting the EC-BOS-6AX to a DCE device (modem, for example), a straight-through cable is used. Table 3 provides standard serial DB-9 pinouts.

Battery Connector

Battery Assembly

Connect the Backup Battery

With the cover removed from the EC-BOS-6AX (see “Removing and Replacing the Cover,” page 7), locate the red and black wires coming from the backup battery, with 2-position connector plug. Insert the plug into the battery connector on the bottom board (below option slot 2 area), as shown in Figure 6.

Figure 6 Backup battery connector on EC-BOS-6AX bottom board.

The connector is keyed—you cannot insert it incorrectly. The red (positive) connection should be the furthest from the two 30-pin option board connectors. For more battery details, see “About the Battery,” page 18.

Apply Power

Apply power to the EC-BOS-6AX by plugging in the power plug into either the EC-BOS-6AX (if wall mount AC adapter EC-WPM-XX) or the 24V-powered EC-NPB-PWR module. If powering using the line-voltage input EC-NPB-PWR-UN power supply module, energize the 90-263Vac circuit wired to the EC-NPB-PWR-UN module.

Caution Do not connect both the EC-WPM-XX and EC-NPB-PWR/EC-NPB-PWR-UN supplies at the same

time, or equipment damage may result, or a power outage may go unrecognized.

Check the Status LEDs

When power is applied, the green LED labeled “STATUS” will light. This indicates that the system is OK and that power is applied. Once the EC-BOS-6AX boots, the yellow “BEAT” (heartbeat) LED will begin blinking, with a typical rate of about 1 Hz. Blinking should begin within 30 seconds after power is applied.

If after applying power, the STATUS LED goes out, or if the BEAT LED comes on (steady) and stays lit longer than two minutes, contact Systems Engineering for technical assistance. See also the “Using Status LEDs” section on page 19.

EC-BOS-6AX Mounting and Wiring Instructions Part Number: 05DI-HIBS6AX-10 Revised: February 2008

Using Status LEDs

Ethernet Ports

Using Status LEDs

The EC-BOS-6AX controller includes several LEDs that can help determine the status of the unit. They are located in two places: the top of the controller (visible through the cover), and for serial ports, on the bottom board (only with cover removed). From left-to-right these LEDs include:

• Ethernet Ports

• Heartbeat

• Status

• Serial Ports

Refer to Figure 2 on page 7 for the exact locations of status LEDs on the EC-BOS-6AX controller.

Ethernet Ports

Each Ethernet port (“LAN2”, “LAN1”) has one green LED, visible on the top cover.

A “LANx” LED indicates activity on that port as follows:

• Off—No Ethernet link is made

• On—Ethernet link is present, but no activity on the LAN

• Blinking—Ethernet link is present with data activity on the LAN.

Heartbeat

The “BEAT” LED is located to the right of the Ethernet status LEDs, and is yellow. Under normal operation, this LED should blink about once per second. If the heartbeat LED stays on constantly, does not light, or blinks very fast (more than once per second), contact System Engineering for technical support.

Caution During boot-up, the heartbeat LED blinks in a 90% on - 10% off pattern. Do not remove power

during this time or data loss may result (I/O module’s firmware upgrade may be in progress.

Status

The “STATUS” LED is located to the right of the heartbeat (“BEAT”) LED, and is green. This LED provides a CPU machine status check, and should remain lit whenever the EC-BOS-6AX is powered. If the STATUS LED does not light while power is applied, contact System Engineering for technical support.

Serial Ports

LEDs for the two serial ports are located on the EC-BOS-6AX’s bottom board, on the opposite side of the RS-232 and RS-485 ports (see Figure 2 on page 7). Labels “COM1” and “COM2” correspond to the software configuration of the COM ports. LEDs show the transmit and receive activity for the serial ports and optional modem.

Note You must remove the cover to the serial port LEDs. See “Removing and Replacing the Cover,” page 7.

• The yellow transmit LED indicates that the EC-BOS-6

is sending data out the serial port over a

communications line to a connected device.

EC-BOS-6AX Mounting and Wiring Instructions Part Number: 05DI-HIBS6AX-10 Revised: February 2008

Cleaning

Maintaining the EC-BOS-6

• The green receive LED indicates that the EC-BOS-6

is receiving data from a connected device.

These LEDs provide a fixed on-time when data is detected on the port. If these LEDs are on constantly, this indicates a problem with the communications channel, such as a shorted wire or reversed wiring.

Maintaining the EC-BOS-6

This section provides information on the following topics:

• Cleaning

• Required Battery Maintenance

• Replacement Parts

• Replacing the base assembly Federal Communications Commission (FCC)

Cleaning

If dust or metal filings are present inside the unit, clean with vacuum or compressed air. Otherwise, no cleaning inside the unit is required. Optionally, if the cover becomes dirty, you can wipe it with a damp cloth and mild detergent.

Required Battery Maintenance

Battery life expectancy is a function of its discharge cycles (the number of discharges and their depth) and the ambient temperature of the battery during normal operation. In most applications, the battery should see relatively few discharges. Therefore, ambient temperature has more to do with determining the life expectancy of the battery than does any other factor. If the EC-BOS-6AX is installed in a conditioned space, the battery should provide dependable service for approximately three years (average). In an environment where the operating temperature is higher (that is, 50ºC or 122ºF), you should only expect the battery to last approximately one year.

The NiMH battery in the EC-BOS-6AX controller is fully discharged when factory shipped. Additionally, NiMH batteries lose charge over time if not kept trickle-charged (for more details, see “About the Battery,” page 18). Therefore, even a new unit (or replacement battery) will require up to 18 hours of powered operation before it can provide reliable backup power (is at full charge).

The EC-BOS-6AX monitors the battery and periodically loads the battery to test its ability to maintain battery-backed functions. Investigate any battery trouble message, and check the battery connections to the unit. Replace the battery as required. To order a new battery, see the “Standard Replacement Parts” section on page 22.

Replacing the Battery

A replacement battery is a complete assembly, that is a battery pack pre-attached to a battery bracket. See

Figure 6 on page 17.

Caution Use only battery packs approved for use with the EC-BOS-6

To replace the battery, proceed as follows:

Step 4

Step 5

Step 6

Unplug all Ethernet, serial, LON, and modem connectors from the EC-BOS-6AX, and unplug its earth ground wire.

If I/O accessory modules are installed:

–

If DIN rail mounting with DIN end-clips was used, you may be able to remove the DIN rail end clip that secures the EC-BOS-6AX end of the assembly and then slide the EC-BOS-6AX away from the rest of the assembly. Then you can remove the EC-BOS-6AX from the DIN rail (see Figure 1 on page 6), leaving the mounting and wiring of I/O modules untouched. In this case, after removing the EC-BOS-6AX from the DIN rail, skip ahead to Step 6.

–

If tab (screw) mounting was used instead of DIN rail mounting, or if a combination of DIN rail mounting and tab screws (into the EC-BOS-6AX’s “accessory side” tab holes, see last page), you will need to remove the accessory modules first, before removing the EC-BOS-6AX. In this case:

a. Making a careful note of all wiring terminations, unplug the I/O connector plugs and earth ground

wires from the installed I/O modules.

b. Remove the installed accessory modules, starting with the end module. Modules may be secured

by screws in mounting tabs or clipped to a DIN rail, or fastened by some sombinations. See

Figure 1 on page 6 for details on removal from (and mounting onto) the DIN rail.

c. Remove any screws fastening the EC-BOS-6

and remove it (see Figure 1 on page 6).

Remove the cover from the old EC-BOS-6AX (see “Removing and Replacing the Cover,” page 7). Note the position of installed option boards, if any. You must transfer them to the replacement EC-BOS-6AX.
