Introduction

The Magic Module family of low cost field programmable controller modules offers a unique controller and data acquisition product line to markets not normally using such technology due to cost and complexity.

The ELK - MM220 is a two digital input two-relay output low cost programmable controller.

program the MM220.

computer. The code is then downloaded to the MM443 via a RS-485 data bus and programmed into re-programmable Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory (EEProm memory). The MM220, a low cost stand-alone version, is programmed from the MM443. Up to 31 MM443’s may be data bussed together and controlled from an optional PC computer. Inputs and outputs may be read and controlled from the PC. The MM443 has a two way X-10 interface for transmitting commands to and receiving commands from X-10 Power Line Carrier Devices. Also an optional interface is available for reading the Dallas iButton, and the 26 bit Wiegand Prox Card ID devices for identification and access control applications.

Programs for the MM443 family may be written with an automatic Code Writer, which constructs programs from a visual question list into a lower level Intermediate Code. The Intermediate Code, known as SIMPLE like high level language that compiles the Intermediate Code into code byte’s that the micro processor reads out of reprogrammable EEProm memory and executes the code through a built in operating system. The latest updates to the Elk Product’s Magic Module Development Software are available at: www.elkproducts.com.

The Savoy MM220S & MM443S are available using the Savoy Automation “Cyberhouse” home automation graphical software development system. Cyberhouse enables the user to either use the Magic Module system standalone or connected to a PC for whole house and advanced network control. Savoy software to program the Magic Module is available on the CD that accompanies the MK400S Development Kit. Additional Savoy Cyberhouse information and software is available from www.savoyautomation.com/elk.

MM443 Description

Usage - MM443 may be used as a stand alone field programmable controller in a vast array of applications from timers, door controllers, simple process controllers, multiple zone security controls, etc. or as a networked controller with up to 31 other modules connected on a common RS-485 data bus.

Inputs - Four analog or digital inputs with programmable low and high level switching thresholds accepting input voltages directly up to 13.6 volts DC. Higher voltages can be used by using resistors on the input as a voltage divider. Each input is jumper programmable for a 2K ohm input resistor pulled to 12VDC, ground, or no resistor input voltage bias. The input loop response time may be adjusted with the set INxFilter command in 1/10-second increments from 100 milliseconds to 25.5 seconds.

Outputs - Four form C relay outputs with contacts rated at up to 12 amps. Two relay outputs are jumper programmable (JP11 & JP12) to switch the output through an open collector NPN transistor (100 ma maximum) instead of the relay for higher speed applications such as flashing LED’s where the click of the relay is not desired.

Timers - Four timers ranging from 100 milliseconds to over 255 hours. Each timer is set in the program and automatically counts down to zero. An if statement checks for the timer to be equal to zero (= 0) or not equal to zero (not= 0) where the program will jump to a new statement.

Counters - Four counters with a range from 0 to 255 counts can be set, incremented, or decremented by the program. An if compares the counter value with a variable value for =, not =, >=, or <, where the program will jump to a new statement.

X-10 Powerline Interface - Connects to a X-10 PL513, PSC04 for transmit only or TW-523, PSC05 for transmit and receive through a four conductor RJ-11 telephone style cable. Jumper JP10 selects between the PL-513, PSC04 (one way) or the TW-523, PSC05 (two way) interface. The UVAL (unit value) and FVAL (function value) is set when a X-10 transmission is received and matches the X-10 House Code (RHOUSE). The RHouse Code may be different for each Magic Module on the Data Bus.

RS-485 Data Bus - The PC may send control commands to outputs and request status from the inputs on the MM443. The modules may send commands and status requests to other magic modules as needed by the program. Example: Module 1 will turn on its relay output 1 (Light switch) when Module 2’s input 1 (motion detector) is high. Module 1 may also send an X-10 “Lights On” command to all X-10 modules to turn on lights. The combinations are

endless!

Excellent articles are available from National Semiconductor’s Website on wiring the RS-485 data bus at:

www.national.com/an/AN/AN-979.pdf

www.national.com/an/AN-1057.pdf

Programming - MM443 connects to a PC by way of the RS-485 data bus. The program is transferred from the PC to the MM443 using the PC’s serial port and a RS-232 to an RS-485 converter box (ELK Part # MB485). Once programmed, the Magic module may be disconnected from the data bus or the PC may be turned off. Two softwareprogramming interfaces are available: The SIMPLE programming language from ELK Products, Inc. (Basic Language type programming), and the Savoy Cyberhouse Programming Language (Graphical Rules type programming).

Reset - In the event that a defective program has been loaded into the MM443 memory and the data bus can no longer be accessed for reprogramming, the module’s program memory can be cleared and reset by shorting the solder pads located at “TP1” and powering up the module. If TP1 remains shorted upon power up, MM443 will enter a factory test mode. The factory test mode enables testing of the module. TP1’s short must be cleared for the input loops to function. If any input (1 thru 4) goes to a high state the corresponding relay (1 thru 4 ) will activate. If TP1 is shorted while the program is running, the module will be placed into the “STOP” mode and program execution will cease. Data Bus response will continue.

JP11 and JP12 select Relay 3 and Relay 4 contacts In and Out of circuit. If JP11 (Relay 3) or JP12 (Relay 4) is set to “Out” then the COM relay contact will pull to ground by a 100 milliamp maximum current transistor. This can be used for low current circuits such as LED’s or buzzers in which the clicking of the relay would be annoying.

Data Bus Address Jumpers:

Each Magic Module connected to the RS-485 data bus must have a unique address set on each Magic Module. This address is set on the Magic Module PC Board with five (5) jumpers. The address is set with a binary code, each jumper has a value:

Jumper 1 (left jumper) = 1 Jumper 2 = 2 Jumper 3 = 4 Jumper 4 = 8 Jumper 5 = 16 By placing the appropriate jumper(s) in the upper or 1 position, the address setting may be set by adding up the

jumper values.

Example: Set data bus address 5. Jumper 1 and jumper 3 will be placed into the “1” position. Add up the value: 1 + 4 = 5.

Set data bus address 17. Jumper 1 and jumper 5 is placed into the “1” position. Add up the value: 1 + 16 = 17.

Note: After changing the data bus address jumper settings, the power must be turned off and turned back on before the new jumper settings will take effect.

Hookup

Power Supply – The MV120 (MV480) may be power from any of four different locations on the printed circuit board.

1. J3 Power Connector – Plug in a well regulated +12VDC power supply into the connector. The center conductor is +12V. 2.1mm ID X 5.5mm OD Female plug on the power supply.

2. Terminals 1 & 4 – Terminal 1 is +12VDC and terminal 4 is Negative.

3. Connector J2 – Pin 4 is +12VDC and pin 1 is Negative.

4. Connector J1 – Elk-129 Computer audio programming connector, Pin 4 is Negative. Connect one of the AC Transformer inputs on the ELK-129 to terminal 1 on the MV120 (MV480) to provide +12VDC to the internal circuitry on the ELK-129.

Data Bus Connection - The RS-485 Data Bus may be connected in two locations:

1. Terminals 2 & 3 – Terminal 2 is “A” side of the data bus. Terminal 3 is “B” side of the data bus.

2. Connector J2 – Pin 3 is “A” side of the data bus. Pin 2 is “B” side of the data bus.

Note: Data Bus “A” must connect to Data Bus “A” on other modules and Data Bus “B” must connect to Data Bus “B” on other modules for proper operation of the Data Bus.

Speaker Connection – Two 8 ohm speaker connections are available at Terminals W1 & W2 SPKR1 and W1& W2

SPKR2. When an 8-ohm speaker is connected to both terminals, an effective 4-ohm speaker load is placed on the amplifier. The speakers may also be wired in series to add more speakers to the system. To connect the MV120 (MV480) to a low level line input going into another audio amplifier, turn the volume all the way down, then turn it up until the audio level into the other amplifier is satisfactory.

Note: Maximum speaker load on the audio amplifier is 4 ohms.

Jumper Selection – There are two sets of jumpers that should be configured before use of the MV120 (MV480).

Elk Products, Inc 10 Magic Module Instructions, Rev. 5.3 L391

1. MIC, JP1 – Microphone enable – If the on board microphone is to be used to record messages; the jumper at JP1 must be set to the “IN” position (IN Circuit). If the ELK-129 Computer Interface is to be used to record messages, the jumper at JP1 should be in the “OUT” position (OUT of Circuit).

2. Data Bus Address Jumpers – Each voice module must be set to its own individual data bus address. The address is set with 5 jumpers. There are two settings, 0 or 1, for each jumper. When the jumper is in the 0 position, its value is equal to 0. When it is set to the 1 position, its value is shown above the jumper: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16. Add up the jumpers in the 1 position to see the data bus address setting. Example: jumper 1 is set to the 1 position; jumper 4 is set to the 1 position. Add the values: 1 + 4 = 5 the data bus address = 5. If a jumper is missing, its value will be 0.

Play Active SolderPad – The solder connection is pulled to ground by a transistor when the MV120 (MV480) is playing a message. It may be connected to an ELK-924 Relay to trigger other equipment. The maximum current draw at the solderpad is 50 milliamps.

Audio Tap SolderPad – A low level audio signal may be taken to another audio amplifier from this solder pad.

RECORD Button – When the MV120 (MV480) has been given a record command from the computer, the record

button should be pressed and held during the recording session. Speak clearly into the on board microphone. When the button is released, the message just recorded will be played. If the record button is not pressed within 45 seconds, the MV120 will return to normal operating mode and cancel the record request. Pressing the RECORD Button without a record command issued from the computer will play the last message recorded or the first message if no recording has taken place.

Status LED - blinking – The status LED blinks when the MV120 is in normal operation.

On continuous – The status LED will be ON continuous when a record command is received from

the PC computer. The status LED will return to blinking within 45 seconds if the record button is not pressed on the MV120 (MV480).

ML8 – Magic Module To Caddx NX8 Family Data Bus Interface

The ML8 Interface (ELK-ML8) connects to the data bus of the Caddx NX Control using only 2 wires. Data received from the control is mapped to 16 collection flags. Changes to these flags are broadcasted over the Magic Module data bus. In addition, 240 bits of data from the NX8 Control may be interrogated on demand by the Magic Module. In order to program the 16 collection flags or develop a Home Control or Automation application, a Magic Module Programmers Kit (ELK-MK485) is needed which includes the Elk Application Writer. There is also a ready to install kit "Home Control Lite" available which includes a programmed Magic Module, ML8 Interface, plus a Magic Voice (ELK-MV480) 400 channel recordable voice annunciator.

See ML8 Hookup on next page.

Application Writer –

The Application Writer is designed for automation features of the MM443 Magic Module simply by clicking buttons on the Application Writer Screens. This allows quick programming and customization of a very powerful and inexpensive home automation system.

The Application Writer may use the Caddx NX4, NX6, or NX8 Security Control as 16 inputs to the Magic Module by using the ELK ML8 Caddx To Magic Module Data Bus Converter.

The Application Writer writes a Magic Module .src file from the buttons that the installer selects. Further customization may be added with the

non-programmers to be able to program and utilize many of the home

Code Editor.

General Tab

The General Tab provides Help information on how to use the Application Writer.

Scenes Tab

Scenes may be described as lighting, relay, or voice setting that is triggered from an input or a time of day.

Example 1: Define Scene 1 as the Morning Scene. The kitchen and bedroom lights turn on. The coffee maker turns on. The HVAC changes to the morning mode and a voice command is triggered to tell everyone to get out of the bed.

Elk Products, Inc 18 Magic Module Instructions, Rev. 5.3 L391

Example 2: Define Scene 6 as the Fire Alarm Scene. When triggered from the Caddx Security Control. All the lights turn on. The HVAC turns off. A repeating voice message tells everyone to leave the premise and assemble in the front of the house. The message is recorded with the mothers voice to calm the children.

The Scene Names may be edited like the “Input” names.

The Voice Channels and the Click Buttons for the X-10 Unit Codes and Relays function the same as described on the

“Activated Input” Tab.

Scene Activation From Real Time Clock –

If the Caddx Security Control is used, the real time clock time comes from the Caddx Control. Otherwise, install an ELK MC-100 Real Time Clock Module onto the MM443 Magic Module for the real time clock operation.

The 6 Scenes may be triggered from the real time clock. Two time settings are available for each Scene:

Activation Time A and Activation Time B. Each Activation Time has the option of selecting which day during the

week that the scene will activate. If the Day Of The Week selection box is checked, the real time clock will activate the scene on that day when the time of day is reached.

Note: All times are in 24 hour time: 00:00 is midnight, 3 PM is 15:00. The scene is checked every minute for all the times that could set the scene.

A wildcard time is available for special activations by using “xx” as the hour or minute time. Example 1: “xx:45” will activate the scene 45 minutes past every hour. Example 2: “18:xx” will activate the scene every minute during the 6 PM hour. Example 3: “xx:xx” will activate the scene every minute. Example 4: “Dusk” and “Dawn” will reference the settings in the “Dusk and Dawn Settings” Tab.

Elk Products, Inc 19 Magic Module Instructions, Rev. 5.3 L391

Dusk and Dawn Settings Tab

To turn items on and off at dusk and dawn, the time settings are adjusted on a monthly basis. Insure that the dusk and dawn time setting for your area are correct. Remember day light savings time corrections. The time is always set in a 24-hour format. Example: 5 pm = 17:00.

Dusk and Dawn settings may be downloaded from the Internet at:

Example: 1,2,3,4. By default the voice commands are sent out onto the data bus with a global address of “0”. This will command all voice modules to say the same voice channels on each module. Should you want to direct the voice command to a particular MV120 on the data bus, precede the voice commands with the MV120 (MV480)’s Data Bus Address then a colon. Example: 2:4,5 this will command the MV120 with a data bus address 2 to say voice channels 4 and 5. Double clicking the voice channel text box will immediately send the voice channels to the MV-120 (MV480) to test the voice messages.

Hardwire Input Activation

Each of the four-hardwire inputs on the Magic Module may be configured as to how the input will be triggered active. If the High or Low click boxes are selected the input will switch from a Hi to Lo state or Lo to Hi state at approximately 6 volts.

Hardwire input switch hookups:

Normally Closed Switch: A normally closed security switch is closed when the magnet has closed the switch or the door is closed. This is the most widely used type of security switch. This type of switch can be supervised because all the switches are wired in series and if any switch opens, the entire loop opens. When this type of switch is connected across the input terminal and negative, the hardwire input activation will be voltage at the input terminal goes high to +12 VDC.

Normally Open Switch: A normally open security switch’s contacts are open when the magnet is

near the switch or the door is closed. This type of switch is wired in parallel and cannot be supervised from someone cutting the wire. When this type of switch is connected across the input terminal and negative and the switch closes, the hardwire input activation will be

End Of Line Resistor check box is selected and a 2000-ohm end of line resistor is connected at the

Make sure the input selection jumpers, JP1 to JP4, on the Magic Module are set to the “+12V” setting.

Low. Therefore the voltage at the input terminal goes low to 0 volts.

High – The input will trigger active when the input voltage exceeds the high threshold

setting in the program which is set by the Application Writer at approximately 8 volts, or when the input loop connected to the hardwire input terminal and negative opens.

Low – The input will trigger active when the input voltage drops below the low threshold

setting in the program, which is set by the Application Writer at approximately 4 volts, or when the input loop connected to the hardwire input terminal and negative shorts.

In Range – The input will trigger active when the input voltage is between the low and

high threshold settings, 4 and 8 volts, or the end of line resistor is installed and the input loop is not faulted.

Out Of Range – The input will trigger active when the input voltage is above the high

threshold setting, 8 volts, or below the low threshold setting, 4 volts. This is the option that would normally be used for a burglar alarm input when the input loop faults open or shorted.
