Introduction

The LonPoint System is a family of products designed to integrate both

new and legacy sensors and actuators into cost-effective, interoperable,

control systems for building and industrial applications. Designed to

take best advantage of the LONWORKS® Network Services (LNS)

operating system, LONMARK® interoperability, and the distributed

processing capability of the Neuron® Chip and LonTalk® protocol, the

LonPoint System provides a truly distributed control architecture that

reduces installation time, lowers installation and life-cycle costs, and can

be economically integrated into applications both large and small.

LonPoint Hardware Guide 1-1

Applications

Traditional control networks have been based on an hierarchical architecture using proprietary controllers. This approach to control system design is expensive, complex, and locks the customer into a closed, non-interoperable architecture. Ultimately, the high costs of this design approach limits the market for control systems.

Overcoming the limits of traditional, closed, hierarchical systems is best accomplished with a flat, fully distributed control architecture. Such a system must: (a) interface with a broad range of sensors and actuators, (b) incorporate application programs that blur the distinction between legacy sensors/actuators and intelligent, networked devices, (c) include a design and installation tool that can seamlessly interconnect everything in the control network, and (d) incorporate software that simplifies hardware configuration and reduces commissioning time. Satisfying these diverse requirements requires a systems approach to the architecture, hardware, and software; it cannot be accomplished easily with a piecemeal collection of devices and components.

The LonPoint System is the result of just such a systems approach, providing at once the low cost of a flat system architecture, the multi-user capabilities of the LNS operating system, the distributed processing of capabilities of the Neuron Chip and LonTalk protocol, and the wiring flexibility of free topology communications. The system consists of the LNS-based LonMaker™ for Windows® Integration Tool, the LonPoint Plug-In, LonPoint application programs, network interfaces, and LonPoint interface, router, and scheduler modules.

The LonMaker for Windows tool is an LNS-based installation tool with a Visio™ user interface and support for both LonPoint devices and 3rd party LONWORKS® devices. The Visio user-interface provides a familiar, CAD-like design environment from which a control system can be designed. Installation consists of interconnecting function blocks (LONMARK objects) within LonPoint modules and 3rd party devices, using their application resources to create a distributed control system. The LonMaker for Windows tool can be used to design, configure, and commission a distributed control network, yet is economical enough to be left behind as a maintenance tool. The LonPoint Plug-In is provided with the tool to simplify the configuration of LonPoint devices.

Resident within each LonPoint module is a powerful, configurable LONMARK application program. The program includes a variety of function blocks (i.e., PID Controller, digital encoder, analog output, digital input, type translator) that are configured by the LonMaker for Windows tool. Linking the function blocks of multiple LonPoint modules, together with the resources of third pary LONWORKS® devices, creates a distributed control system that is interconnected via the network, yet which offers greater functionality, higher reliability, and lower cost than a traditional central controller-based system. The LonPoint System may be operated as a self-contained control system, integrated with other LONMARK or LONWORKS devices, or combined with remote systems and a remote supervisory station via a WAN, IP, or PSTN network to form a wide area control system.

The LonPoint interface, scheduler, and router modules provide I/O processing, application resources, timekeeping, and routing for a LonPoint System. The interface

1-2 Introduction

modules seamlessly integrate sensors, actuators, and controllers into peer-to-peer, interoperable networks. There are several different interface modules, including the DI-10 Digital Input Module (4 digital inputs with a status LED per input), DO-10 Digital Output Module (4 digital outputs with a separate hand/off/auto switch and status LED per output), DIO-10 Digital Input/Output Module (2 digital inputs, 2 relay outputs, status LEDs and hand/off/auto switches), AI-10 Analog Input Module (2 independent 16-bit analog inputs), and AO-10 Analog Output Module (2 independent 12-bit analog outputs with PID). The SCH-10 Scheduler Module provides scheduling or data logging for the system.

LPR Router Modules can be used to create high speed backbones, optimize network traffic, extend the size of the network, as well as to create bridges to other channels containing third-party devices. LPR Routers are available in any combination of TP/FT10, TP/XF-78, and TP/XF-1250 channels.

Many innovative labor-saving features have been built into the LonPoint modules to minimize installation time:

• A two-piece design allows pre-wiring and cable testing by an electrician prior to installing the electronics. Technician time can be reserved for tasks such as node configuration;

• Screw terminals and polarity-insensitive power and network connections minimize the chance of miswiring;

• All modules operate from 16-30VAC or VDC, allowing the modules to be powered from the same sources as the sensors and actuators;

• Power and network wiring are “looped” through each base plate, providing continuity in case of module replacement without network disruption;

• All modules can be hot-plugged, minimizing service time;

• Every module includes a front panel jack that accesses the twisted pair network without any disassembly, saving time when the network must be accessed for configuration or maintenance;

• All modules include a front panel bar code with the model, software revision, and two removable Neuron Chip ID stickers. When placed on the building or system design plans, these stickers save installation time, especially for inaccessible nodes.

When used in the context of a complete LonPoint System, the LonPoint modules provide tremendous flexibility and lower overall equipment, installation, and life-cycle costs. The modules simplify programming by using a CAD-like design environment, minimize cabling requirements by using free topology transceivers, and reduce the need for on-site calls by offering over-the-network downloading. The LonPoint modules support a flat architecture that is at once interoperable, lower cost to install and maintain, and flexible enough for future adds, moves, and changes.

Description of the LonPoint

Modules and Base Plates

This chapter provides a description of the LonPoint Interface, Router, and Scheduler modules, Type 1 and Type 2 Base Plates, and Type 1D and Type 2D DIN Base Plates mounting enclosures.

LonPoint Hardware Guide 2-1

LonPoint Interface Modules

The LonPoint Interface Modules are designed to monitor and control a wide variety of analog and digital sensors and actuators, and are the primary means of interfacing a LonPoint system to devices that lack an integral LONWORKS interface, i.e., a Neuron Chip and transceiver. By selecting the correct LonPoint Interface Module and configuring both its hardware and software correctly, a wide and varied assortment of sensors and actuators can be supported.

There are five types of LonPoint Interface Modules which share a common form factor but differ in terms of their I/O and internal software functions. The five modules include the DI-10 Digital Input Module, DO-10 Digital Output Module, DIO-10 Digital Input Output Module, AI-10 Analog Input Module, and AO-10 Analog Output Module.

The DI-10 Digital Input Module provides four digital inputs for supervising voltage ranges 0-5VDC through 0-32VDC or dry contacts. Inputs are isolated from the input power and the network but not from each other. Separate status LEDs are provided for each input.

The DO-10 Digital Output Module includes four digital outputs rated at 0-12V, 100mA source/sink per output, 110mA source, 400mA sink all outputs combined. Outputs are isolated from the input power and the network but not from each other. Each output may be separately overridden by a hand/off/auto switch accessible from the front panel. Separate status LEDs are provided for each output.

The DIO-10 Digital Input Output Module provides two digital inputs and two relay outputs. The digital inputs include configurable input thresholds for supervising dry contacts or 5V, 12V, 24V, or 31V DC inputs. In addition, the digital inputs can be set to measure frequency (20kHz) inputs. The inputs are isolated from the input power and the network, but are not isolated from each other. Each relay output consists of a Form A (normally open) and Form B (normally closed) contact which share a common wiper. The relay contacts are rated for 2A continuous, 6A momentary, at 30VAC or 42VDC. Each output may be separately controlled by a hand/off/auto switch accessible from the front panel. Separate status LEDs are provided for each input and output.

The AI-10 Analog Input Module provides two independent 16-bit resolution analog inputs which are isolated from the input power and the network but not from each other. Each input can be configured via jumper blocks to monitor RTDs, thermistors, and other types of analog inputs. Inputs can be separately configured as a voltage input, resistive transducer input, loop-powered 0-24mA current input, or remote-powered 024mA current input. Voltage input ranges can be selected via the LonPoint Plug-in to be 0-156mV, 0-625mV, 0-10V, or 0-20V. Current input ranges can be set via the LonPoint Plug-in to be 0-25mA, 0-12.5mA, 0-781µA, or 0-19.5µA. Resolution in the 020V range is 0.3mV per step; current input resolution in the 0 - 25mA range is 0.37µA per step. For resistive transducers, the module includes a configurable current source which can be set, under software control, to provide either 25µA or 400µA current for resistance measurement of transducers from 100 to 15k (nominal).

The AO-10 Analog Output Module offers two independent 12-bit resolution analog outputs. Each output can be separately configured for voltage or current output, and can drive 0-10V into a 1k load or 0-20mA or 4-20mA @ 0-12V. Outputs are isolated from the input power and the network but not from each other.

Network, power, and I/O wiring is connected to screw terminals located on a Type 1 Base Plate (figure 2.3) or Type 1D DIN Base Plate (figure 2.4), into which the LonPoint Interface Module is plugged; no wiring is ever connected directly to an Interface Module. A writing space is provided on the back of the Type 1 Base Plate for recording the date of installation or other pertinent information. Installers should take care to use a finepoint (smudge-free) pen.

Type 1/1D and Type 2/2D Base Plates are keyed to prevent accidental insertion of an incorrect module type. The Type 1 Base Plate (Model 40111) and the Type 1D DIN Base Plate (Model 48111) will only accommodate Interface Modules and Scheduler Modules. The Type 2 Base Plate (Model 40222) and the Type 2D DIN Base Plate (Model 48222) will only accept LPR-1X Router Modules.

In either Type 1/1D or Type 2/2D Base Plates, the associated module is affixed to the Base Plate by means of two 8-32, 3/8” screws (Echelon 205-0130-01) that are provided with each module.

This chapter provides information about network, power, and input/output cabling for the LonPoint system.

LonPoint Hardware Guide 3-1

Network Cabling - TP/FT-10 Channel

The LonPoint modules (excluding some LPR Routers) use Echelon’s FTT-10A Free Topology Transceiver for network communications. This transceiver operates at 78 kilobits per second and is designed to support free topology wiring; it will accommodate bus, star, loop, or any combination of these cabling topologies using a twisted pair cable. By eliminating restrictions on the cabling topology, the installer is free to locate LonPoint modules anywhere on the network cabling provided only that the maximum cabling distance limitations are observed99 This capability simplifies system installation and makes it easy to add nodes should the network need to be expanded. Figures 3.1 through 3.5 present five typical network topologies.

In free topology cabling it is necessary to use one Echelon Model 44100 terminator. In bus topology cabling it is necessary to use two Echelon Model 44101 terminators. Terminators are required for proper network operation and must not be omitted.

(Two Model 44101 Terminators)

A network consisting of LonPoint modules using the FTT-10A transceiver is said to reside on a “TP/FT-10 channel.” In some cases all of the LonPoint modules will be connected to a single TP/FT-10 channel. A maximum of 64 devices (LonPoint

modules, routers, PCLTA-10 and PCC-10 PC adapters, third-party LONMARK

devices) may be connected to any one channel. If more than 64 devices are to be used, or if it is necessary to add more cabling than is permitted on a single channel, then one or more model 42100 LPR-10 Routers (TP/FT-10 to TP/FT-10) would be placed in series with the network cabling.

Another application for the LPR Router is to limit the amount of network communications passing between different parts of a control network. For example, LPR Routers can restrict the transfer of messages from a portion of the network with many active PID loops to other, more quiescent parts of the network. In this case one or more model 42100 LPR-10 Routers would be placed in series with the network cabling.

The LPR Router can also be used to create a high-speed backbone that brings together many different channels, perhaps to a monitoring PC. In this case it may be desirable to increase the speed of the backbone channel in order to better manage the communication traffic. For example, in a highrise building it might be desirable to have a78 kilobit per second TP/FT-10 free topology channel operating on each floor, and use a 1.25 megabit per second channel to link together all of the floor channels with a PC in the basement. In this case, one model 42102 LPR-12 Router (TP/FT-10 to TP/XF-1250) would be placed on each floor and a separate 1.25Mbps twisted pair channel would serve as a backbone.

LonPoint Hardware Guide 3-3

The Model 42100 LPR-10 Router (TP/FT-10 to TP/FT-10) uses the TP/FT-10 channel cabling scheme. The Model 42102 LPR-12 Router (TP/FT-10 to TP/XF-1250) uses a different cabling scheme that is designed to handle high speed, 1.25Mbps communications. This 1.25Mbps cabling scheme is described in a later section.

System Performance and Cable Selection - TP/FT-10 Channel

The system designer may choose a variety of cables, depending on cost, availability, and performance. Currently, Echelon has documented system performance on the cable types shown in tables 3.1 and 3.2. Up to 64 devices may be connected to each channel; one or more Model 42100 LPR-10 Routers may be used to increase the number of devices and cable distance. Network performance specifications assume that the average wire temperature is +55°C, although individual segments of wire may be as hot as +85°C.

The free topology transmission specification includes two components which must both be met for proper system operation. The distance from each LonPoint module, network interface, or third party device to all other devices, and the distance from each LonPoint module, network interface, or third-party device to the Model 44100 Terminator, must not exceed the maximum node-to-node distance. If multiple paths exist, e.g., a loop topology, then the longest path should be used for the calculations. The maximum total wire length is the total amount of wire connected per channel.

TP/FT-10 Cable Termination

The TP/FT-10 channel must be terminated for proper data transmission performance.

Free Topology

If free topology cabling is used then only one Model 44100 Terminator is required and may be placed anywhere on the free topology segment, as shown in figure 3.6. The Model 44100 Terminator's orange wires should be connected to the twisted pair network. The Terminator's green wire must be connected to earth ground. The green wire must never be connected to the shield of a twisted pair cable.

Terminating Shielded Cables for the TP/FT-10 Channel

Model 44100 and 44101 Terminators are intended for use exclusively with unshielded twisted pair cables and must NOT be used as terminators for shielded cables. If a shielded cable is to be used then special Terminators must be fabricated for both free topology and bus cabling architectures. These special Terminators will ensure the effectiveness of the shield in providing noise immunity in electromagnetically harsh environments. Figure 3.8 presents the schematic for a Free Topology Shielded Cable termination.

Network Cabling - TP/XF-1250 Channel

If a high-speed backbone is created using the Model 42102 LPR-12 Routers (TP/FT-10 to TP/XF-1250), then a doubly-terminated bus topology using data grade cable that is intended specifically for this channel must be installed. The TP/XF-1250 channel can be used only with Level IV, 22 AWG (0.65mm) twisted pair cable, and the channel must be terminated at each end with a Model 44200 Terminator (do NOT use the Model 44100 or 44101 Terminators.) Suppliers of cable are listed in Echelon’s engineering bulletin, Junction Box and Wiring Guidelines, part number 005-0023-01, Rev D or higher.

Ground

Cable Shield

Under no circumstances should smaller gauge Level IV cable be substituted for Level IV, 22 AWG (0.65mm) twisted pair cable. Echelon periodically qualifies new cables for twisted pair transceivers, and it is advisable to check with Echelon from time to time to determine if new cables are available. DO NOT attempt to use any other type of cabling, including but not limited to Category 5 data cabling, or improper or erratic operation will result.

A maximum of sixty-four (64) Model 42102 LPR-12 Routers (TP/FT-10 to TP/XF-1250), PC adapters, and other devices can be installed on a backbone channel, with a maximum cable length of 130 meters with a maximum stub length of 1 feet (0.3m). If additional cabling or devices must be installed, then one or more model 42105 LPR-15 (TP/XF-1250 to TP/XF-1250) Routers may be placed in series with the backbone cabling.

Distribution Rule for TP/XF-1250 Channel

Due to the transmission characteristics of the TP/XF-1250 channel, communication failures may result from reflections of the TPT/XF-1250 transceiver’s 1.25Mbps

LonPoint Hardware Guide 3-7

transmitted signal under conditions where devices are concentrated in one point of cabling. These communication failures are eliminated when devices are used in a

distributed configuration. For this reason, it is essential to follow a simple topology rule when using the TPT/XF-1250 channel.

Referred to as the “8-in-16” topology rule, this rule requires that no more than 8 devices be connected to the TP/XF-1250 channel within any 16 meter length of cable. This means that no matter where along the bus the 16 meter measurement is taken, there should be no more than 8 devices. Figure 3.10 provides a diagram of such a measurement technique.

Figure 3.10 8-in-16 Topology Rule Example

In the example we see an installation with six groups of devices, varying in size from 2 to 7 devices, in a doubly-terminated bus that is terminated with Model 44200 Terminators. By using a 16 meter measurement stick that we can move from side-toside over the length of the bus, we can determine whether the 8-in-16 rule has been met (designated by the word "OK") or violated (shown by the designation "PROBLEM"). In the case of the PROBLEM area, a total of 13 devices are located within a 16 meter length of the bus, which amounts to five more devcies than are permitted under the 8in-16 rule.

There are two solutions that can be applied to situations in which the 8-in-16 rule has been, or must be, violated by virtue of the installation scenario. The first and simplest remedy is to insert a Model 42105 LPR-15 Router (TP/XF-1250 to TP/XF-1250) and two Model 44200 Terminators in the bus to break the network into two channels (figure 3.11). Since each side of the router comprises a different channel, the bus is effectively split and the nodes divided between two channels.

Figure 3.11 Using a Router to Meet the 8-in-16 Topology Rule

The second remedy to a violation of the 8-in-16 rule is to add additional cable to the bus such that the rule is no longer violated (figure 3.12). It is important to ensure that the maximum bus length (130 meters of 22AWG/0.65mm Level IV twisted pair) is not exceeded by the additional cable. Due to the complex interactions between the bus and the devcies with regard to reflections and transmission line delays, it is not possible to substitute an inductor/capacitor network in lieu of the additional cable to resolve this rule violation.

Terminator for TP/XF-1250 Channel

It is necessary to terminate both endpoints of the TP/XF-1250 channel twisted pair bus for proper data transmission performance. Failure to terminate the bus will degrade network performance. Use only the Model 44200 Terminator, and connect it as shown in figure 3.13.

I/O Cabling

The installer generally has wide latitude in the type of cabling selected for the I/O. It is good practice to ensure that all I/O cabling is made from twisted pair wire, as this has the advantage of minimizing susceptibility to differential noise. If the sensor or actuator requires a shield then a ground will have to be provided in the electrical box since the LonPoint modules are floating and do not include a ground screw connection. Note when selecting the I/O cabling that the Base Plate screw terminals accommodate wire guages from 24AWG/0.5mm to 12AWG/2mm. In all cases, use at least 90°C rated wire.

It is important to note that a maximum of 16 Amperes RMS at 24VAC RMS can be passed through the internal jumpers on the Power terminals of the Type 1/2 Base Plates, 10 Amperes RMS at 24 VAC RMS for Type 1D/2D DIN Base Plates using Jumper Plugs. This means that if power wiring is looped in and out of the power terminals of the LonPoint Base Plates, the current load presented by all of the LonPoint modules and any other devices powered by that circuit must be 16 Amperes ( 10 Amperes for Type 1D/2D DIN Base Plates using Jumper Plugs), as

LonPoint Hardware Guide 3-9

shown in figure 3.14. If >16 Amperes (>10 Amperes RMS at 24 VAC RMS for Type 1D/2D DIN Base Plates using Jumper Plugs) must be supplied then the loopthrough capability of the LonPoint Base Plate power terminals must not be used and the power cabling should be run in parallel, as shown in figure 3.15. To calculate the load current, divide the total VA (sum of all devices powered by the power supply) by the power supply voltage. For example, if the total VA of all LonPoint Modules and sensors/actuators equals 100VA, and the power supply provides 24 VAC, then the load current is 4.16A.

As a rule of thumb, it is recommended that power and I/O cabling be separated by 18”/ 46cm to prevent inadvertent pick-up of noise from the power circuit by sensitive analog I/O cabling. Power and network twisted pairs may be combined in a common cable if using an approved network cable.

Depending on the model, the LonPoint modules require between 2 and 6.5VA at an operating voltage of 16 to 30V DC or AC. The LonPoint Type 1/1D and Type 2/2D Base Plates include a power-looping capability that provides continuity through the Base Plate - even if the LonPoint module is removed - when the power cabling is daisy-chained through each Base Plate.

Tables 3.4 and 3.5 present the wire gauge that should be used in order to deliver the

specified power (total VA) across the distance shown. These tables only include wire gauges from 24AWG (0.5mm) to 12AWG (2mm) as these are the wire gauges supported by the Base Plate screw terminals. For the supply cabling use at least 24AWG/0.5mm, 90° C rated wire.

To determine the total power that a power cable must carry, total the VA requirements for all of the devices that will be drawing power from that cable, including both LonPoint modules and other devices. The VA ratings for the LonPoint Modules are shown in the module data sheets and are summarized in the following table.

To determine what gauge cable (in AWG or metric) will be required based on the total distance of the power cabling, refer to table 3.4 for cabling measured in AWG and table 3.4 for cabling measured in mm. If the wire gauge used is smaller than required, improper operation of one of more modules will result. All data in tables 3.4 and 3.5 assume an average wire temperature of +55°C.

Installation and Wiring of Base Plates

This chapter describes the process of installing LonPoint Base Plates. Type 1 Base Plates are used for mounting LonPoint Interface and

Scheduler Modules to 4-inch square electrical boxes or Echelon's Eurobox. Type 1D DIN Rail Base Plates are used for mounting LonPoint Interface and Scheduler Modules to 35mm DIN rails (CENELEC EN 50022) or to walls or panels.

Type 2 Base Plates are used for mounting LonPoint LPR Router Modules to 4-inch square electrical boxes or Echelon's Eurobox. Type 2D DIN Rail Base Plates are used for mounting LonPoint LPR Router Modules to 35mm DIN rails or to walls or panels.

LonPoint Hardware Guide 4-1

LonPoint Type 1 Base Plate Installation

Figure 4.1 presents a detailed view of the front side of the base plate. The circuit board inside the Type 1 Base Plate includes a large number “1A” in the lower right corner, as viewed from the front of the base plate, designating it as a Type 1 Base Plate with a Revision A circuit board. The “1A” designation indicates compatibility with LonPoint modules such as the DIO-10, that make use of screw terminal 14. Screw terminal 14 is NOT connected on older base plates marked “1”.

Test points are provided on the circuit board for measuring all of the wiring connections. Symbols are silk-screened on the PCB to identify the functions of the test points.

wiring connections are made.

Figure 4.2 LonPoint Type 1 Base Plate - Rear Wiring Panel

As shown in figure 4.3, the Type 1 Base Plate is intended to be installed in an electrical box either vertically (base plate interior arrows pointing up) or rotated clockwise 90° (base plate interior arrows pointing to the right). These two orientations provide optimal viewing of the front panel legends of an installed LonPoint module, and also accommodate different methods of installing electrical boxes.

4-4 Installation and Wiring of Base Plates

Figure 4.3 LonPoint Type 1 Base Plate Mounting Orientations

Installing A Compatible Electrical Box

Compatible electrical boxes that will accept a Type 1 Base Plate include a 4” square electrical enclosure (Raco model No. 232, 236, 7232, 7054 or equal), two-gang PVC switch box (Raco 7834 or equal), and Echelon’s Model 48001 EuroBox for wall or electrical box applications.

A 4” square electrical enclosures should be either affixed to a wall or to equipment using suitable mounting screws, or recessed using a suitable mounting clamp (figure

4.4). Due to variations in the location of knock-outs, care must be taken to ensure that 3/4” conduit fittings do not interfere with the Base Plate when it is installed in the electrical box; 1/2” conduit fittings have not been found to cause an interference problem.

LonPoint Hardware Guide 4-5

Figure 4.4 4” Square Electrical Box Mounting

There are four mounting options if Echelon’s EuroBox is used. The Eurobox requires the installer to drill cabling holes: ensure that suitable holes are drilled prior to mounting. In order to avoid interference with the Base Plate enclosure walls, all glands and conduit fittings must be located within 1.4”/35cm of the bottom of the box (as measured from the outside of the box). Wire glands and conduit fittings must not extend more than 0.63”/16mm into the EuroBox in order to prevent associated cabling from interfering with the Base Plate screw terminals.

For UK applications, a second mounting option is to affix the EuroBox to a single gang 25mm BS4662 flush mounting box (MK 866ZIC or similar). Two keyhole slots are provided in the EuroBox to accomodate the flush mounting box as shown in figure 4.5. Use screws with flush mounting and ensure that suitable cabling holes are drilled in the Eurobox prior to mounting, as discussed above.

Figure 4.5 MK Electrical Box Mounting the EuroBox

4-6 Installation and Wiring of Base Plates

For continental applications, a third mounting option is to affix the EuroBox to a recessed 6.5cm diameter plastic DIN box (Kaiser or equal). Two keyhole slots are provided in the EuroBox to accommodate DIN box mounting, as shown in figure 4.6. Use the screws provided with the DIN box and ensure that suitable cabling holes are drilled in the EuroBox prior to mounting.

Figure 4.6 DIN Box Mounting the EuroBox

A fourth mounting option is to affix the EuroBox to 35mm DIN rail using DIN Clips (one pair included). Two sets of rectangular slots are provided for the DIN clips. Ensure that the clips provided with each EuroBox lock in place on the box and then snap them onto the DIN rail (figure 4.7). Ensure that suitable cabling holes are drilled in the EuroBox prior to mounting.

The Type 1D DIN Base Plate offers a lower profile and easier access to wiring terminals for DIN rail applications.

LonPoint Hardware Guide 4-7

Connecting Wiring

Route network, power, and input/output cabling into the electrical enclosure using suitable conduit fittings, bushings, or wire glands. It is good practice to separate the input/output cabling as much as possible from the network and power cabling, especially if low level analog signals are being supervised. Once the cabling has been brought into the electrical enclosure, leave a service loop of 6 inches (15cm) of cable to simplify wiring the Type 1 Base Plate. Dress the cables using tie wraps or tape to ensure that the cabling is not compressed or caught when the base plate is screwed into place.

Strip the cable jacket and wire conductors. The base plate screw terminals will accept 26AWG (0.4mm) to 12AWG (2.2mm) wire, which should be stripped to a length of

0.32” (8mm). Although not required, it may be useful to use a soldering iron to tin the stripped lengths of any stranded wires to prevent fraying and inadvertent contact with adjactent terminals. The screw terminal blocks on the real panel of the Type 1 Base Plate are color coded to simplify wiring. The color coding scheme is shown in table 4.1. The optimum tightening torque for the Type 1 Base Plate screw terminals is 4 lbs. in. (0.5Nm) maximum. The ideal flathead screwdriver tip width is 0.125” (3mm).

Table 4.1 Type 1 Base Plate Terminal Block Color Coding*

* In beta release Type 1 Base Plates, terminals 5 and 14 were connected together but not connected to any I/O. In Type 1 Base Plate marked 1A, terminal 5 is floating and may be used to connect cable shield wires; terminal 14 is reserved for I/O.

Two sets of screw terminals are provided for both the power and network wiring connections. These connections are internally jumpered on the Type 1 Base Plate PCB to provide continuity of the network and power wiring, even if no LonPoint module is installed, as shown figure 4.8. This feature permits the base plate wiring to be pre-installed and the network and power circuits checked for continuity throughout the installation, before a single LonPoint module is ever installed. This feature also prevents network and power interruptions as a result of hot-swapping LonPoint modules during commissioning or service operations. Finally, providing two sets of screw terminals permits incoming and outgoing wiring to be landed at separate screw terminals without the need to insert more than one wire in any given screw terminal.

The base plate contains two integral DIN rail tabs that securely grab a 35mm DIN rail onto which the base plate is mounted. The base plate may be used on both 35mm x 7.5mm and 35mm x 15mm DIN rails. To release the Base Plate from the DIN rail, sequentially insert a flathead screwdriver into the DIN rail release tabs and gently pull away from the DIN rail (figure 4.10).

Four keyhole slots are provided for affixing the Type 1D DIN Base Plate to a wall or panel (figure 4.11).

The 1D Base Plate is supplied with a jumper plug that connects the power and network connections between adjacent base plates. The Jumper Plug is shipped inserted into the main cavity of the Base Plate, and can be removed by gently pulling the plug handle in the direction of the mounting arrow. The Jumper Plug must be removed before a LonPoint module can be inserted into the Base Plate.

Connecting Wiring

Route all network, power, and input/output cabling to the pertinent screw terminals located at the top and bottom of the Base Plate. It is good practice to separate the input/output cabling as much as possible from the network and power cabling, especially if low-level analog signals are being supervised.

Strip the cable jacket and wire conductors. The base plate screw terminals will accept 24AWG (0.5mm) to 12AWG(2.2mm) wire, which should be stripped to a length of 0.32" (8mm). Although not required, it may be useful to use a soldering iron to tin the stripped lengths of any strand wired to prevent fraying and inadvertent contact with adjacent terminals. Identifying screw terminal numbers are conveniently located both above and below each screw terminal. Symbols and/or language identifying the function of the screw terminals also are provided.

Note that terminals 1 and 9 are numbered from left to right, but terminals 10 to 18 are numbered from right to left.

The optimum tightening torque for the screw terminals is approximately 4 pounds (0.5Nm). The ideal flathead screwdriver tip width is 3/32" (2.5mm).

Figure 4.12 Base Plate Power and Network Wiring Connections

Connecting the Jumper Plug(s)

From time to time it may be necessary to mount two or more LonPoint Type 1D or 2D Base Plates adjacent to one another. In these instances, power and network wiring must be daisy-chained between each Base Plate. Routing power and network wiring between multiple base plates can be a laborious and time consuming task, and there is always the risk of a wiring error. For this reason, the Type 1D and 2D Base Plates are each supplied with a Jumper Plug and Jumper Plug connecotrs which simply and easily bus the power and network between adjacent Base Plates.

The Jumper Plug connectors are located on either side of the terminal block with connections 1 to 9 . The Jumper Plug connectors are wired in parallel with the network and power connections on the screw terminals. When two Base Plates are mounted adjacent to each other, with the mounting arrows pointing in the same direction, the Jumper Plug connectors will be aligned such that a Jumper Plug may be inserted into the two connectors, thus bridging power and network between the two Base Plates (figure 4.13).

Figure 4.13 Mounting Two Base Plates with Jumper Plug Connectors

When used with a Type 2D Base Plate, there are restrictions about the placement of the Type 2D Base Plates (and the routers they contain) relative to the adjacent Type 1D Base Plates. In all cases, any Type 2D Base Plates must be located to the left side of any Type 1D Base Plates (figure 4.14) with which they will share a common channel.

The reason for this limitation is that only the right Jumper Plug connector on a Type 2D Base Plate bridges the network connection; the left Jumper Plug connector on a Type 2D Base Plate bridges only the power connection. This arrangement permits several routers, each with a different channel type, to be mounted on a common DIN rail and share a common power supply. Figure 4.15 shows mounting configurations that are problematic and must be avoided because the router will be unable to communicate with the other LonPoint modules via the Jumper Plug.

If such a mounting arrangement must tbe used, then the base plates must be interconnected using wiring instead of the Jumper Plug.

4-22 Installation and Wiring of Base Plates

Connecting Wiring

Since a Type 2 Base Plate is designed for use with an LPR Router, the only cabling that will be connected to the Base Plate is power and the network cables for the two channels between which the router is connected. Bring the cabling into the electrical enclosure using suitable conduit fittings, bushings, or wire glands, and be sure to leave a service loop of 6 inches (15cm) of cable to simplify wiring the Type 2 Back Plate. Dress the cables using tie wraps or tape to ensure that the cabling is not compressed or caught when the base plate is screwed into place.

Strip the cable jacket and wire conductors. The base plate screw terminals will accept 24AWG (0.5mm) to 12AWG (2.2mm) wire, which should be stripped to a length of 0.32” (8mm). Although not required, it may be useful to use a soldering iron to tin the stripped lengths of any stranded wires to prevent fraying and inadvertent contact with adjactent terminals. The screw terminal blocks on the rear panel of the Type 2 Base Plate are color coded to simplify wiring. The color coding scheme is shown in table 4.3. The optimum tightening torque for the Type 1 Base Plate screw terminals is 4 lbs. in. (0.5Nm) maximum. The proper screwdriver tip width is 0.125” (3mm).

Figure 4.28 Locate the Type 2D Base Plate to the Left of Type 1D Base Plates

Type 1D Base Plates must be located to the right of any router in a Type 2D Base Plate with which they share a common channel. The reason for this limitation is that only the right Jumper Plug connector on a Type 2D Base Plate bridges the network connection, the left Jumper Plug connector on a Type 2D Base Plate bridges only the power connection. This arrangement permits several routers, each with a different channel type, to be connected to a common power supply. Figure 4.29 shows mounting configurations that are problematic and must be avoided because the router will be unable to communicate with the other LonPoint modules.

Minimum Negative Threshold Voltage (Vnmin) [V]

Minimum Hysterisis (Vhmin) [V]

Both digital inputs have internal pull-up resistors (2.43 K) connected to 5V through a diode. This pull-up resistor allows the use of low-cost (nonnoble, metal-plated) contacts in external dry contacts (relays). The diode prevents current flow through the pull-up resistor to the power supply when the input is not a dry contact but a logic voltage above 5V. When the input voltage is below 5V, the external electronics must sink current. When the input voltage is above 5V, then the diode prevents the flow of current through the pull-up resistor. For inputs above 5V, a separate protection diode is forward biased through a 21.5K resistor. Table 6.3 details the sink (-)/source (+) currents required of the external electronics at various input voltages.

Table 6.3 Sink/Source Currents

Input Voltage Input Current

0V -1.7mA 3V -0.5mA

Note: The two inputs on the DIO-10 are isolated from the power supply and from the network, but are not isolated from each other. If the installation requires that the inputs be isolated from each other, additional LonPoint modules should be used.

This setting is used for connecting 4-20mA intelligent transmitters that are powered by the current loop provided by the AI-10 module. The maximum allowable current range is 0-25mA in order to permit fault conditions to be detected (open as 0mA, short circuit as 25mA). This mode is not suitable for measuring passive resistive devices. Minimum loop voltage is 12VDC.

This setting is used for connecting passive resistive sensors to the AI-10 module. Resistance is measured by passing a controlled current through the sensor and then measuring the resulting voltage across the AI-10 screw terminals. Measurements of passive resistive devices may only be taken using the RES mode - the 2WIR mode is not suitable for this purpose. See text below for a discussion of the range and software settings for the RES mode. In this mode 3.5V is provided on the (+) terminal and programmable current sink (25mA or 400mA on the (-) terminal).

The AO-10 module includes two 4 x 2 jumper blocks for each output. These jumper blocks, labeled 0-10V and 4-20mA, are used to configure the module for the type of analog output signal that will be generated (figure 9.2); using an incorrect jumper setting will result in improper output signals. Each of the two outputs may be

types of analog outputs. The AO-10 sources, but does not sink, current. For wiring simplicity, 4-20mA actuators

attached to the AO-10 module should be operated in 2-wire mode, provided that they can operate at 12V or less. Actuators that require >12V across their terminals should be operated in a 4-wire mode and powered from a separate power supply.

Installing the AO-10 Module

Installation of the AO-10 module involves the following steps:

1. Ensure that the Base Plate has been wired and installed correctly, and is securely fastened to the electrical enclosure.

2. Check for continuity on all network and power wiring. Ensure that the correct actuators are connected to the correct Base Plate I/O terminals.

3. Make certain that all network channels are terminated with the correct number and type of Terminator.

4. Insert the AO-10 module into the Base Plate by aligning the network access jack on the AO-10 with the arrow head on the Base Plate (the arrow should point in the direction of the jack), and then pressing firmly to ensure that the module is properly seated in its mating Base Plate connector.
