Programmer Default Screen

Figure 2 is a representation of the default Programmer display (also shown on the front cover). It is also the display that appears when the programmer has timed out. The LCD screen is configured to show a rotating display of the breaker (BRKR01–BRKR66) values. Pressing any key on the keypad activates the backlighting for a default time of 30 seconds. When a user has logged in, the keypad stays backlit until he or she logs off.

2. Enter the appropriate password for the desired level of access using the Programmer keypad:

3. The Programmer displays the following when the password is approved:

Figure 2. Display and keypad of the Lighting Controller Programmer.

The programmer provides a secure connection into the network and requires logging in to access its functions. The ability to login and make changes to the programmer is based on permissions. If a password is approved, then a user has access to the appropriate level of system menus. If the password is not approved, the programmer returns to the default display, as shown in Figure 2.

The two levels of permission are as follows:

• Edit Level – Default password 4129 gives full edit mode access to the system.

• Display Level – Default password 1234 gives access to view mode only.

To login to the Programmer for the first time:

1. Press

OK to bring up the Login display:

You can now access the menu selections appropriate to your level of access.

Logout

To logout of the Programmer:

1. Press

2. Use the arrow keys to select YES:

3. Press OK to return to the default display.

ESC until the display appears as follows:

Timeout Mode

Timeout Mode occurs after the default value of 15 minutes. If there is no activity during that time, the Programmer logs out automatically. No user input is required for this timeout to occur, and any changes made before the Programmer timed out will remain.

Menu Sequences

The following diagrams are a representation of the menus within the programmer. Figure 3 shows the menu sequence for display-only mode and Figure 4 shows the menu sequence for full-edit mode.

Menu Descriptions

Following are brief descriptions of the menus and the functions they provide.

Schedules

This function views or edits Zn 1–16 schedules and turns them on or off manually. Up to eight turn on and off times can be scheduled per day for each day of the week and two calendar references.

Calendar

This function views or edits the Calendar reference, which is used to select days of the year. Calendar is referenced in the schedule object and when the controller date matches the calendar date, the schedule follows the calendar on and off times.

I/O Menu

These menu items view and/or edit the inputs and outputs.

A Series® Lighting Controller Programmer

Chapter 3 – Menu Structure

Odd Breakers. The odd breakers are those numbered 1, 3, 5, …, 65. These functions provide the following:

• Commissioning

• Manually turning on or off

• Linking override inputs

• Assigning override times

• Enabling event logging for breaker on, breaker off, tripped breaker, and command failure

• Direct/reverse feedback setting

• Enabling flick warning

• Setting the time of flick warning

• Determining the status of the odd breakers

Even Breakers. The even breakers are those numbered 2, 4, …, 66. These functions provide the same operations as those of Odd Breakers.

Lighting Switches. This function is used to manually turn the switches on or off and to commission them.

Analog Input. This function finds the value/status of the three analog inputs on the controller and to commission them.

Breaker Test. This function tests the breakers for a set time.

Lighting Group

These menu items are used to view or edit Zn 1–16 groups and to turn them on or off manually.

Outputs. This function links breakers and/or lighting groups to the group output. It also assigns a specific switch input (analog or digital) to each breaker or group.

Schedule. This function turns the group on and off according to a set schedule.

Astro. This function links Astro time to turn the group on and off.

Photocell. This function turns the group on and off with analog or digital inputs.

Override. This function overrides the group from off to on for a set time.

Groups. This function turns the group on or off when all nested groups turn on or off, following OR logic.

Dimming Menu

These menu items are used to view and/or edit the dimming modules that can be optionally attached to the product (Linknet devices 6 and 7) to control the lighting ballast. The input to these modules is a photocell (AI) and the output is the analog output (AV).

Dim Mod 600 Submenu. These functions adjust each control loop for dimming module 1 with Linknet device 6. There are eight control loops on a board and each consists of the following functions:

• Ltg Lvl (input) – the input from the photocell

• Ltg SP – the set light level

• Ltg OP

• Ltg PB (controller PB) – the proportional gain of the feedback loop

• Ltg RR (controller rest rate) – the integral gain of the feedback loop

Dim Mod 700 Submenu. These functions are the same as Dim Mod 600 but for Linknet device 7.

Burn Hours Menu

This function is used to view and/or reset the breaker burn/run hours for an individual breaker.

Breaker Override Menu

This function views the Override BV for each breaker. Override is used to turn an individual breaker on for a set time and then shut it off. It is used for integration but not by default.

Configuration Menu

These menu items are used to configure the lighting controller and system.

Set Time. This function sets the time and date of the controller.

Device Information. This function provides information about the device, such as the device name, model number, firmware version build, and software version.

Device Menu. This function sets up the location and daylight savings time.

Set Password. This function sets the password for the current user.

Reset MSP430. This function resets the back plane of the controller. Note that this item should only be used for instant remapping of the breaker or for diagnostic purposes.

Reconfig Net. This function reconfigures the controller’s address using DNA. This is done when the controller is first connected to the network; since it is a subnet device, it inherits the address of the master above. For example, if the master address is 100 and the address of the subnet is 1, Reconfig Net sets the address to 101.

Reset Device. This function performs a hardware reset of the controller.

Save Flash. This function saves the changes made to flash memory so they can be reloaded if the battery goes dead or to return to the previous version.

Load Flash. This function loads the database with the last version saved to flash memory. It overwrites the current contents of the database and performs a hardware reset.

Lighting switches are maintained and momentary switches mounted on the standard/remote input expansion board. Maintained switches are defined by the states ON, OFF, and N/A. N/A means that the switch is not present on the board. Momentary switches are toggling switches. When the switch is turned on, it toggles its state. There are 66 switches, LTG SW 101–116, 201–216, 301–316, 401–416, and 501–502. LTG SW 101–116 are mounted on the standard input expansion module which is on the main controller and LTG SW 201–216, 301–316, 401–416, and 501–502 are controlled from the remote expansion module. (Please refer to DEH41083 for further information). Each

Outputs

Lighting Outputs can be either local or remote references of Binary Outputs (BOs) or Lighting Groups (LGs). The Programmer is used to tell the LG what lighting outputs (BO/LG) to control. (Note that Lighting Groups cannot reference themselves.) With each output a local or remote switch can be linked. The switch can be a physical one (MI type) or a binary variable (BV), whose values can be changed with the keypad. The BV variables are accessible using the Breaker Override menu of the Programmer.

The switch controls individual breakers/group On and Off. For each lighting output entered, an optional switch can be assigned to control the individual breaker On and Off. Switch references to BI and MV should be

ignored.

To use the Astro function, Set Latitude/Longitude for the location must be calculated in the object, and the Universal Time Coordinate (UTC) Offset must be enabled with an accurate Offset calculation. The UTC should be set with the time zone list or by entering the time as a manual offset in ±hours to one decimal place.
