Spyder® BACnet®

Programmable Controllers

PRODUCT DATA

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The PUB and PVB controllers are part of the Spyder family. These controllers are BACnet MS/TP network devices designed to control HVAC equipment. These controllers provide many options and advanced system features that allow state-of-the-art commercial building control. Each controller is programmable and configurable through software.

The Spyder BACnet controllers require the Spyder BACnet Programmable Feature to be licensed in the WEBpro workbench tool and the WEBS AX JACE Controller for programming and downloading. The Spyder BACnet Models are also available as Individually Licensed Controllers (ILC). The ILC versions are identical in design and capability in every detail except for the licensing. The Individual Licensing of the Spyder ILCs (the License is built in) allows them to be programmed and downloaded with any brand of the Niagara Workbench or JACE controller. The Spyder ILCs are identified with a suffix on the Part Number of -ILC. Example: PUB6438S-ILC follows all the same Installation Instructions information as the PUB6438S.

These controllers are for use in VAV (Variable Air Volume), Unitary and advanced HVAC control applications. Each controller has flexible, universal inputs for external sensors, digital inputs, and a combination of analog and digital Triac outputs. All the models are described in Table 1. The photo to the left is the model PVB6436AS, which includes the actuator.

BEFORE INSTALLATION

The controller is available in three models (see Table 1).

Review the power, input, and output specifications on page 2 before installing the controller.

—Hardware driven by Triac outputs must have a minimum current draw, when energized, of 25 mA and a maximum current draw of 500 mA.

—Hardware driven by the analog current outputs must have a maximum resistance of 550 Ohms, resulting in a maximum voltage of 11 volts when driven at 20 mA.

If resistance exceeds 550 Ohms, voltages up to 18 Vdc are possible at the analog output terminal.

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard.

Can cause severe injury, death or property damage.

Disconnect power supply before beginning wiring or making wiring connections to prevent electrical shock or equipment damage.

INSTALLATION

The controller must be mounted in a position that allows clearance for wiring, servicing, removal, connection of the BACnet MS/TP Molex connector and access to the MS/TP MAC address DIP switches (see Fig. 15 on page 12).

The controller may be mounted in any orientation.

IMPORTANT

Avoid mounting in areas where acid fumes or other deteriorating vapors can attack the metal parts of the controller, or in areas where escaping gas or other explosive vapors are present. Fig. 6–Fig. 7 on page 5 for mounting dimensions.

SPYDER® BACNET® PROGRAMMABLE CONTROLLERS

For the PVB6436AS model, the actuator is mounted first and then the controller is mounted. For the other models, go to “Mount Controller” on page 5 to begin the installation.

Mount Actuator onto Damper Shaft (PVB0000AS, PVB4022AS and PVB6436AS)

PVB0000AS, PVB4022AS and PVB6436AS controllers include the direct-coupled actuator with Declutch mechanism, which is shipped hard-wired to the controller.

The actuator mounts directly onto the VAV box damper shaft and has up to 44 lb-in. (5 Nm) torque, 90-degree stroke, and 90 second timing at 60 Hz. The actuator is suitable for mounting onto a 3/8 to 1/2 in. (10 to 13 mm) square or round VAV box damper shaft. The minimum VAV box damper shaft length is 1- 9/16 in. (40 mm).

The two mechanical end-limit set screws control the amount of rotation from 12° to 95°. These set screws must be securely fastened in place. To ensure tight closing of the damper, the shaft adapter has a total rotation stroke of 95° (see Fig. 1).

NOTES:

1.The actuator is shipped with the mechanical endlimit set screws set to 95 degrees of rotation. Adjust the two set screws closer together to reduce the rotation travel. Each “hash mark” indicator on the bracket represents approximately 6.5° of rotation per side.

2.The Declutch button, when pressed, allows you to rotate the universal shaft adapter (see Fig. 1).

IMPORTANT

Determine the damper rotation and opening angle prior to installation. See Fig. 2 below and Fig. 3 on page 4 for examples.

Before Mounting Actuator onto Damper Shaft (PVB0000AS, PVB4022AS and PVB6436AS)

Tools required:

—Phillips #2 screwdriver - end-limit set screw adjustment

—8 mm wrench - centering clamp

Before mounting the actuator onto the VAV box damper shaft, determine the following:

1.Determine the damper shaft diameter. It must be between 3/8 in. to 1/2 in. (10 to 13 mm).

2.Determine the length of the damper shaft. If the length of the VAV box damper shaft is less than 1-9/16 in.

(40 mm), the actuator cannot be used.

3.Determine the direction the damper shaft rotates to open the damper (CW or CCW) (see Fig. 3). Typically, there is an etched line on the end of the damper shaft that indicates the position of the damper. In Fig. 2, the indicator shows the damper open in a CW direction.

4.Determine the damper full opening angle (45, 60, or 90 degrees). In Fig. 2, the damper is open to its full open position of 90 degrees.

Mounting Actuator Onto Damper Shaft (PVB0000AS, PVB4022AS and PVB6436AS)

The unit is shipped with the actuator set to rotate open in the clockwise (CW) direction to a full 95 degrees. The extra 5 degrees ensures a full opening range for a 90 degree damper. The installation procedure varies depending on the damper opening direction and angle:

1.If the damper rotates clockwise (CW) to open, and the angle of the damper open-to-closed is 90 degrees:

a.Manually open the damper fully (rotate clockwise).

b.Using the Declutch button, rotate the universal shaft adapter fully clockwise.

c.Mount the actuator to the VAV damper box and shaft.

d.Tighten the two bolts on the centering clamp

(8 mm wrench; 70.8–88.5 lb-in. [8–10 Nm] torque). When the actuator closes, the damper rotates CCW 90 degrees to fully close.

2.If the damper rotates clockwise (CW) to open, and the angle of the damper open-to-closed is 45 or 60 degrees:

a.Manually open the damper fully (rotate clockwise).

b.The actuator is shipped with the mechanical end-limits set at 95 degrees. Adjust the two mechanical end-limit set screws to provide the desired amount of rotation. Adjust the two set screws closer together to reduce the rotation travel.

c.Tighten the two mechanical end-limit screws (Phillips #2 screwdriver; (26.5–31 lb-in. [3.0–3.5 Nm] torque).

d.Using the Declutch button, rotate the universal shaft adapter fully clockwise.

e.Mount the actuator to the VAV damper box and shaft.

f.Tighten the two bolts on the centering clamp

(8 mm wrench; 70.8–88.5 lb-in. [8–10 Nm] torque).

g.When the actuator closes, the damper rotates CCW either 45 or 60 degrees to fully close.

3.If the damper rotates counterclockwise (CCW) to open, and the angle of the damper open-to-closed is 90 degrees:

a.Manually open the damper fully (rotate counterclockwise).

b.Using the Declutch button, rotate the universal shaft adapter fully counterclockwise.

c.Mount the actuator to the damper box and shaft.

d.Tighten the two bolts on the centering clamp (8 mm wrench; 70.8–88.5 lb-in. [8–10 Nm] torque). When the actuator closes, the damper rotates CW

90 degrees to fully close.

4.If the damper rotates counterclockwise to open, and the angle of the damper open-to-closed is 45 or 60 degrees:

a.Manually open the damper fully (rotate counterclockwise).

b.The actuator is shipped with the mechanical end-limits set at 95 degrees. Adjust the two mechanical end-limit set screws to provide the desired amount of rotation. Adjust the two set screws closer together to reduce the rotation travel.

SPYDER® BACNET® PROGRAMMABLE CONTROLLERS

Panel Mounting

The controller enclosure is constructed of a plastic base plate and a plastic factory-snap-on cover.

NOTE: The controller is designed so that the cover does not need to be removed from the base plate for either mounting or wiring.

The controller mounts using four screws inserted through the corners of the base plate. Fasten securely with four No. 6 or No. 8 machine or sheet metal screws.

The controller can be mounted in any orientation. Ventilation openings are designed into the cover to allow proper heat dissipation, regardless of the mounting orientation.

DIN Rail Mounting (PUB1012S, PUB4024S, PUB6438S, PVB4024NS and PVB6438NS)

To mount the PUB1012S, PUB4024S, PUB6438S, PVB4024NS and PVB6438NS controllers on a DIN rail [standard EN50022; 1-3/8 in. x 9/32 in. (7.5 mm x 35 mm)], refer to Fig. 8 and perform the following steps:

1.Holding the controller with its top tilted in towards the DIN rail, hook the two top tabs on the back of the controller onto the top of the DIN rail.

2.Push down and in to snap the two bottom flex connectors of the controller onto the DIN rail.

IMPORTANT

To remove the controller from the DIN rail, perform the following:

1.Push straight up from the bottom to release the top tabs.

2.Rotate the top of the controller out towards you and pull the controller down and away from the DIN rail to release the bottom flex connectors.

Piping (PVB0000AS, PVB4022AS,

PVB4024NS, PVB6436AS and

PVB6438NS)

Air flow Pickup

For PVB0000AS, PVB4022AS, PVB4024NS, PVB6436AS and PVB6438NS, connect the air flow pickup to the two restrictor ports on the controller (see Fig. 9).

NOTES:

—Use 1/4 inch (6 mm) outside diameter, with a 0.040 in. (1 mm) wall thickness, plenum-rated 1219 FR (94V-2) tubing.

—Always use a fresh cut on the end of the tubing that connects to the air flow pickups and the restrictor ports on the controller.

Connect the high pressure or upstream tube to the plastic restrictor port labeled (+), and the low pressure or downstream tube to the restrictor port labeled (-). See labeling in Fig. 9. When twin tubing is used from the pickup, split the pickup tubing a short length to accommodate the connections.

NOTES:

—If controllers are mounted in unusually dusty or dirty environments, an inline, 5-micron disposable air filter (use 5-micron filters compatible with

pneumatic controls) is recommended for the high pressure line (marked as +) connected to the air flow pickup.

—The tubing from the air flow pickup to the controller should not exceed three feet (0.914 m). Any length greater than this will degrade the flow sensing accuracy.

—Use caution when removing tubing from a connector. Always pull straight away from the connector or use diagonal cutters to cut the edge of the tubing attached to the connector. Never remove by pulling at an angle.

Power

Before wiring the controller, determine the input and output device requirements for each controller used in the system. Select input and output devices compatible with the controller and the application. Consider the operating range, wiring requirements, and the environment conditions when selecting input/output devices. When selecting actuators for modulating applications consider using floating control. In direct digital control applications, floating actuators will generally provide control action equal to or better than an analog input actuator for lower cost.

Determine the location of controllers, sensors, actuators and other input/output devices and create wiring diagrams. Refer to Fig. 17–Fig. 23 beginning on page 14 for illustrations of typical controller wiring for various configurations.

63-2689—05

6

The application engineer must review the control job requirements. This includes the sequences of operation for the controller, and for the system as a whole. Usually, there are variables that must be passed between the controller and other Spyder BACnet controller(s) that are required for optimum system wide operation. Typical examples are the TOD, Occ/ Unocc signal, the outdoor air temperature, the demand limit control signal, and the smoke control mode signal.

It is important to understand these interrelationships early in the job engineering process, to ensure proper implementation when configuring the controllers. Refer to the controller Application Guides.

Power Budget

A power budget must be calculated for each device to determine the required transformer size for proper operation. A power budget is simply the summing of the maximum power draw ratings (in VA) of all the devices to be controlled. This includes the controller itself and any devices powered from the controller, such as equipment actuators (ML6161 or other motors) and various contactors and transducers.

IMPORTANT

•When multiple controllers operate from a single transformer, connect the same side of the transformer secondary to the same power input terminal in each device. The earth ground terminal (terminal 3) must be connected to a verified earth ground for each controller in the group (see Fig. 12 on page 9).

•Half-wave devices and full-wave devices must not use the same AC transformer. If a Spyder controller will share its power supply with another device, make sure the other device utilizes a half-wave rectifier and that the polarity of the wiring is maintained.

POWER BUDGET CALCULATION EXAMPLE

Table 3 is an example of a power budget calculation for a typical PVB6436AS controller. While the example is shown for only this model, the process is applicable for all controller models.

The system example above requires 30.7 VA of peak power. Therefore, a 100 VA AT92A transformer could be used to power one controller of this type. Because the total peak power

is less than 33 VA, this same transformer could be used to power three of these controllers and meet NEC Class 2 restrictions (no greater than 100 VA).

See Fig. 11–Fig. 12 beginning on page 9 for illustrations of controller power wiring. See Table 4 for VA ratings of various devices.

For contactors and similar devices, the in-rush power ratings should be used as the worst case values when performing power budget calculations. Also, the application engineer must consider the possible combinations of simultaneously energized outputs and calculate the VA ratings accordingly. The worst case, which uses the largest possible VA load, should be determined when sizing the transformer.

Each controller requires 24 Vac power from an energy-limited Class II power source. To conform to Class II restrictions (U.S. only), transformers must not be larger than 100 VA. A single transformer can power more than one controller.

GUIDELINES FOR POWER WIRING ARE AS FOLLOWS:

—For multiple controllers operating from a single transformer, the same side of the transformer secondary must be connected to the same power input terminal in each device. The earth ground terminal must be connected to a verified earth ground for each controller in the group (see Fig. 12 on page 9). Controller configurations are not necessarily limited to three devices, but the total power draw, including accessories, cannot exceed 100 VA when powered by the same transformer (U.S. only).

—See Fig. 11 on page 9 for controller power wiring used in UL 1995 equipment (U.S. only).

—Many controllers require all loads to be powered by the same transformer that powers the controller.

—Keep the earth ground connection wire run as short as possible (refer to Fig. 11–Fig. 12 beginning on page 9).

—Do not connect earth ground to the controller’s digital or analog ground terminals (refer to Fig. 11 and Fig. 12).

—Unswitched 24 Vac power wiring can be run in the same conduit as the LONWORKS® Bus cable.

Line-Loss

Controllers must receive a minimum supply voltage of 20 Vac. If long power or output wire runs are required, a voltage drop due to Ohms Law (I x R) line-loss must be considered. This line-loss can result in a significant increase in total power

required and thereby affect transformer sizing. The following example is an I x R line-loss calculation for a 200 ft. (61m) run from the transformer to a controller drawing 37 VA and using two 18 AWG (1.0 sq mm) wires.

The formula is:

Loss = [length of round-trip wire run (ft.)] x [resistance in wire (ohms per ft.)] x [current in wire (amperes)]

From specification data:

18 AWG twisted pair wire has a resistance of 6.52 ohms per 1000 feet.

Loss = [(400 ft.) x (6.52/1000 ohms per ft.)] x [(37 VA)/(24V)] = 4.02 volts

This means that four volts are going to be lost between the transformer and the controller. To assure the controller receives at least 20 volts, the transformer must output more than 24 volts. Because all transformer output voltage levels depend on the size of the connected load, a larger transformer outputs a higher voltage than a smaller one for a given load. Fig. 10 shows this voltage load dependence.

In the preceding I x R loss example, even though the controller load is only 37 VA, a standard 40 VA transformer is not sufficient due to the line-loss. Looking at Fig. 10, a 40 VA transformer is just under 100 percent loaded (for the 37 VA controller) and has a secondary voltage of 22.9 volts. (Use the lower edge of the shaded zone in Fig. 10 that represents the worst case conditions.) When the I x R loss of four volts is subtracted, only 18.9 volts reaches the controller. This is not enough voltage for proper operation.

In this situation, the engineer has three alternatives:

1.Use a larger transformer. For example, if an 80 VA model is used, an output of 24.4 volts, minus the four volt lineloss, supplies 20.4V to the controller (see Fig. 10).

Although acceptable, the four-volt line-loss in this example is higher than recommended.

IMPORTANT

No installation should be designed where the line-loss is greater than two volts. This allows for nominal operation if the primary voltage drops to 102 Vac (120 Vac minus 15 percent).

2.Use heavier gauge wire for the power run. 14 AWG (2.0 sq mm) wire has a resistance of 2.57 ohms per 1,000 ft. Using the preceding formula results in a lineloss of only 1.58 volts (compared with 4.02 volts). This would allow a 40 VA transformer to be used. 14 AWG (2.0 sq mm) wire is the recommended wire size for 24 Vac wiring.

3.Locate the transformer closer to the controller. This reduces the length of the wire run, and the line-loss.

The issue of line-loss is also important in the case of the output wiring connected to the Triac digital outputs. The same formula and method are used. Keep all power and output wire runs as short as practical. When necessary, use heavier gauge wire, a bigger transformer, or install the transformer closer to the controller.

To meet the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) standards, a transformer must stay within the NEMA limits. The chart in Fig. 10 shows the required limits at various loads.

With 100 percent load, the transformer secondary must supply between 23 and 25 volts to meet the NEMA standard. When a purchased transformer meets the NEMA standard DC20-1986, the transformer voltage regulating ability can be considered reliable. Compliance with the NEMA standard is voluntary.

Wiring

All wiring must comply with applicable electrical codes and ordinances, or as specified on installation wiring diagrams. Controller wiring is terminated to the screw terminal blocks located on the top and the bottom of the device.

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard.

Can cause severe injury, death or property damage.

Disconnect power supply before beginning wiring or making wiring connections, to prevent electrical shock or equipment damage.

NOTES:

—For multiple controllers operating from a single transformer, the same side of the transformer secondary must be connected to the same power input terminal in each controller. Controller configurations will not necessarily be limited to three devices, but the total power draw, including accessories, cannot exceed 100 VA when powered by the same transformer (U.S. only).
