Wiring Guidelines
HONEYWELL CABLE 3252, 3253, 1061, AK3797, AK3798, AK3799
The Free Topology Transceiver (FTT) supports polarity insensitive, free topology wiring. This frees the system installer from wiring using a specific bus topology. T-tap, star, loop, and mixed wiring topologies are all supported by this architecture. Free topology wiring reduces the time and expense of system installation by allowing the wiring to be installed in the most expeditious manner. It also simplifies network expansion by eliminating restrictions on wire routing, splicing, and device placement.
USER’S GUIDE
A FTT network may comprise multiple segments (L Bus sections containing from one to sixty devices, each device having a Neuron® ID to validate) separated by
ONWORKS
physical layer repeaters or routers. FTT networks are very flexible and convenient to install and
maintain, but it is imperative to carefully plan the network layout and create and maintain accurate documentation. This will aid in compliance verification and future expansion of the FTT network. This will also minimize unknown or inaccurate wire run lengths, node-to-node (device-to-device) distances, node counts, total wire length, inaccurate repeater/router locations, and misplaced or missing terminations.

APPLICATIONS

Free topology architecture allows the user to wire the control devices with virtually no topology restrictions.
Unlike bus wiring designs, the FTT system uses a free topology wiring scheme that supports T-tap, star, loop, mixed, and/or daisy-chain (see Fig. 1). This design has many advantages. First, the installer is free to select the method of wiring that best suits the installation, reducing the need for advanced planning and allowing last minute changes at the installation site. Second, if installers have been trained to use one style of wiring for all installations, free topology technology can be introduced without requiring retraining. Third, retrofit installations with existing wiring plans can be accommodated with minimal, if any, rewiring. This capability ensures that FTT technology can be adapted to both old and new projects, widening the potential market for FTT based products. Finally, free topology allows FTT systems easy future expansion by tapping into the existing wiring where it is most convenient to do so. This reduces the time and expense of system expansion, and from the customers’ perspective, keeps down the life cycle cost of the free topology network.

System expansion is simplified by the use of physical layer repeaters and routers. The Q7740A 2-Way or Q7740B 4-Way devices perform a repeater function, and the Q7751A operates as a router. See Fig. 2. If a L
ONWORKS Bus segment
grows beyond the maximum number of devices or total wire distance, additional FTT segments can be added. This is done by connecting a Q7740A 2-Way or a Q7740B 4-Way physical layer repeater (see Fig. 3). The repeaters will transfer data between the two L
ONWORKS Bus segments, allowing the
number of devices to be spread out as well as increasing the length of wire over which they c omm unicate.
NOTE: Do not exceed the maximum of 120 devices for a
Q7750A Zone Managers L (up to 60 devices are allowed per L
ONWORKS Bus network
ONWORKS Bus
segment).
The repeater function permits an FTT network to grow as system needs expand, without retrofitting existing controllers or requiring the use of specialized bridges. The maximum number of repeaters per L (on either side of the router). A Q7751A L
ONWORKS Bus segment is one
ONWORKS Bus
router can also be used to effectively double the maximum L
ONWORKS Bus length. The advantage of using the router is
that it will segregate traffic to a L
ONWORKS Bus segment.
When using the repeater all traffic is repeated on each L
ONWORKS Bus segment. (see following NOTES).
NOTES:
There can be no more than one repeater on either
side of a Q7751A router.
An FTT network can have no more than one router
per Zone Manager. Systems requiring high levels of network traffic may benefit from the use of a Q7751A router , which forwards p ackets only when necessary. Routers are not allowed within loops.

NETWORK CABLING AND CONNECTIONS

This section provides information about cabling and FTT network connections.
IMPORTANT
• For network terminal connections, twist the wires together a minimum of three times.
• Only use approved wire and do not use different wire types on the same bus.
• Follow the bus length limits for the cable type used.
• Properly install the 209541B FTT Termination

System Performance and Cable Selection

Transmission Specifications
The free topology transmission specifications include two rules that must both be met for proper system operation:
1. The distance from each device to all other devices and to the termination must not exceed the (singly terminated) maximum node-to-node (device-to-device) distance. For example, if multiple paths exist using loop topology, then use the longest path for the calculations.
2. The maximum total wire length is the total amount of wire connected per L
NOTE: See Table 1 for daisy-chain doubly terminated FTT
network bus topology transmission specifications and Echelon® cable parameters.
