Control Application
EXCEL 10 W7761A INPUT/OUTPUT DEVICE
The W7761A, Excel 10 Remote Input/Output device, provides auxiliary inputs and outputs for use with an Excel 10 Zone
®
Manager and Excel 10 controllers over the Echelon
LonWorks®E-Bus. The W7761A Remote Input/Output Device can be
connected to outdoor air temperature and humidity sensors that can be used by other Excel 10 controllers on the E-Bus or
Excel 5000 controllers on the C-Bus through the Excel 10 Zone Manager. This would allow the controllers to use their physical
inputs for monitoring other elements such as return humidity, IAQ, etc. to achieve better control. The W7761A can be used to
average many space temperature sensors that are located in a zone that is controlled by the W7750 Constant Volume AHU
Controller. The W7761A device has 8 Digital Outputs which may be Discrete, Modulating or Floating. For example, this allows
the control of lighting zones, miscellaneous exhaust or ventilation fans, miscellaneous pumps, and can enable freeze
protection. See Fig. 2.

Control Provided
The W7761A was not intended to control staged or modulating heating/cooling coils, mixed air economizer dampers, or system
fan/heat pump units. The W7761A contains inputs and outputs, but no control software. All control that would be associated
with the inputs and outputs in the W7761A would be accomplished though the Excel Zone Manager and would not be suitable
for VAV control, temperature control, or any control function that would require less than a 30 second update rate.

Controllers
The Excel 10 W7761A RIO Device is available in one model. It contains 4 resistive inputs that can be configured for either
20Kohm NTC or PT3000 sensors, 2 voltage or current inputs, 4 digital inputs and 8 Digital Outputs (Triacs) which may be
Discrete (maintained or momentary), Modulating (PWM) or Floating.
The W7761A consists of a single circuit board that is mounted in a sheet metal subbase and protected by a factory snap-on
cover. The device mounts with two screws (see Fig. 3 or 4). Using DIN rail adapters (see Fig. 5) they can also be snapped onto
standard EN 50 022 35 mm by 7.5 mm (1-3/8 in. by 5/16 in.) DIN rail. DIN rail is available through local suppliers. If using DIN
rail also purchase from Augat Inc. part number 2TK2D DIN rail (adapter) two each for every device (see Fig. 5). Wires are
attached to the screw terminal blocks on both sides of the device. Connection for operator access to the E-Bus is provided by
plugging the SLTA connector cable into the communications jack.
A channel in the cover allows the device status LED to be visible when the cover is in place. There are no field-serviceable
parts on the circuit board and, therefore,
The W7761A can be mounted in any orientation. Ventilation openings were designed into the cover to allow proper heat
dissipation regardless of the mounting orientation. See Fig. 3 and 4.

4-Way Repeater can be used to allow the number of devices to be spread out as well as increasing the length of wire over
which they communicate. The maximum number of repeaters per segment is one (on either side of the router). A Q7751A EBus Router can also be used to effectively double the maximum E-Bus length. The advantage of using the router is that it will
segregate traffic to a segment while when using the repeater, all traffic is repeated on each segment. When utilizing a doubly
terminated E-Bus structure, use a continuous daisy-chain with no stubs or taps from the main backbone, The maximum E-Bus
length is 4593 ft (1400m) with the maximum node-to-node length of 3773 ft (1150m).

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. Unknown or inaccurate wire run lengths, node-to-node distances, node

Configurations
Each W7761A device can control or monitor a variety of different types of mechanical equipment. The W7761A was not
intended to control staged or modulating heating/cooling coils, mixed air economizer dampers, or system fan/heat pump units.
The W7761A contains inputs and outputs, but no control software. All control that would be associated with the inputs and
outputs in the W7761A would be accomplished though the Excel Zone Manager and would not be suitable for VAV control,
temperature control, or any control function that would require less than a 30 second update rate.
It would be suitable to control miscellaneous exhaust or ventilation fans, lighting zones that are spread out through a building
which need to be linked to a start/stop time program through the Zone Manager or to enable freeze protection. The W7761A
device can be connected to outdoor air temperature and humidity sensors that can be used by other Excel 10 controllers on
the E-Bus or Excel 5000 controllers on the C-Bus through the Excel 10 Zone Manager. The W7761A can be used to monitor
Occupancy, Window, Dirty filter, Indoor air quality, and Smoke control sensors. This allows the controllers to use their physical
inputs for monitoring other elements such as return humidity, IAQ, etc. to achieve better control. The W7761A can be used to
1574-2699
EXCEL 10 W7761A INPUT/OUTPUT DEVICE
average many space temperature sensors that are located in a zone that is controlled by the W7750 Constant Volume AHU
Controller.
Mixed-Output-Type Control
The W7761A Device can control mixed-output-types of applications such as PWM and staged control occurring simultaneously
with Series 60 Floating Control.
Occupancy Sensor
Excel 10 W7761A device can be connected to an occupancy sensor through a digital input. This is a device, such as a passive
infrared motion detector, that contains a dry contact (see following NOTE) closure to indicate whether or not people are present
in the space. The Excel 10 W7761A Device expects a contact closure to indicate the space is Occupied. See Fig. 18 in
Application Step 4, Prepare Wiring Diagrams, for details on wiring connections. This occupancy sensor can then be bound to
other Excel 10 controllers on the E-Bus or Excel 5000 controllers on the C-Bus through the Excel 10 Zone Manager. This
would allow the other Excel 10 controllers to use their physical inputs for monitoring other elements such as return humidity,
IAQ, etc. to achieve better control.
NOTE: The Excel 10 Controllers (W7750 CVAHU and W7761A RIO) have limited power available (only 9 mA at 4.8 volts) for
The recommended devices for use with the Excel 10 W7750 Controller and W7761A Device are the EL7628A1007 Ceiling
Mounted Infrared or the EL7680A1008 Wall Mounted Wide View Infrared Occupancy Sensors. If ultrasonic sensors are
required, the EL7611A1003 and the EL7612A1001 Occupancy Sensors are recommended. An EL76XX Power Supply/Control
Unit is required for use with these occupancy sensors. The EL7630A1003 can power up to four sensors, and is multi-tapped for
several line voltages. The EL7621A1002 can power three sensors and it connects to 120 Vac line voltage. The EL7621A1010
can also power three sensors but it connects to 277 Vac line voltage.
checking the digital inputs for contact closures. It is very important that the device used contains high quality,
noncorroding contacts with resistivity that does not degrade; that is, increase over time. Use noble metal (such as
gold or silver), pimpled or sealed contacts to assure consistent, long-term operation.
Window Open/Closed Digital Input
Excel 10 W7761A device can be connected to a window sensor to indicate whether a window in the space was opened. The
Excel 10 W7761A device can be connected to a dry contact (see the NOTE for the Occupancy Sensor and Fig. 18 in
Application Step 4. Prepare Wiring Diagrams, for details) or a set of contacts wired in series (for monitoring multiple windows)
to verify that the window(s) are closed. This window(s) sensor can then be bound to other Excel 10 controllers on the E-Bus or
Excel 5000 controllers on the C-Bus through the Excel 10 Zone Manager. The algorithm in the other Excel 10 controllers
expects a contact closure to indicate the window is closed. If an open window is detected, the algorithm in the other Excel 10
controllers changes the mode of operation to FREEZE_PROTECT, which shuts down the control functions, and watches for
low space temperature conditions. The freeze protection setpoint is 46.4°F (8°C), and the frost alarm occurs at 42.8°F (6°C).
Wall Module Options
As previously discussed, there are five basic varieties of the T7770. There is one variety of the PT3000 sensor and the T7780
DDWM (see the Product Names and the Construction sections). The T7770A,B,C,D 20Kohm NTC sensor—(current feature
that can be used with the RIO Device) and one PT3000 sensor can be configured on any of the four resistive inputs. The
T7780 is an E-Bus node and would not be directly connected to the RIO Device.
Dirty Filter Monitor
The air filter in the air handler can be monitored by the W7761A RIO device and an alarm issued by the Zone Manager when
the filter media needs replacement. The two methods of monitoring the filter are:
1. Connecting a differential pressure switch to a digital input on the W7761A.
2. Wiring a 2-to-10V differential pressure sensor to a voltage input on the W7761A. If the analog input sensor is used, its
measured value 0 to 5 inw (0 to 1.25 kPa) is compared to a user-selectable setpoint. The comparison is done in the
Zone Manager —valid range: 0 to 5 inw (0 to 1.25 kPa), and the Dirty Filter alarm is issued when the pressure drop
across the filter exceeds the setpoint.
Indoor Air Quality (IAQ)
The Excel 10 W7761A device can monitor IAQ using one of two different methods of detecting poor air quality. The first is with
an IAQ switch device connected to a digital input on the W7761A, where a contact closure indicates poor air quality, and an
alarm can be issued by the Zone Manager. The device can detect poor air quality using any desired measure such as CO
VOC, CO, etc. The second method, is through an analog input that connects to a CO
from this sensor (0 to 2000 ppm) is compared to a user-selectable setpoint (the comparison is done in the Zone
of CO
2
Manager —valid range: 0 to 2000 ppm), and an IAQ alarm can be issued when the CO
sensor that is connected to the W7750 RIO, can be bound to other W7750 CVAHU Excel 10 controllers on the E-Bus.

APPLICATION STEPS
Overview
The seven application steps shown in Table 3 are planning considerations for engineering an Excel 10 W7761 Remote

Step 1. Plan The System
Plan the use of the W7761A Devices according to the job requirements. Determine the location, functionality and sensor or
actuator usage. Verify the sales estimate of the number of W7761A Devices and the number and type of output actuators and
other required accessories.
When planning the system layout, consider potential expansion possibilities to allow for future growth. Planning is very
important to be prepared for adding HVAC systems and controllers in future projects.
T7770A,B,C,D Wall Modules (sensor—current feature that can be used with the RIO Device)can be installed as either
hardwired I/O-only devices or additional wiring can be run to them (for the E-Bus network ) to allow a CARE/E-Vision operator
terminal to have access to the E-Bus. The application engineer needs to determine how many wall modules or other input
sensors are required. This information is required during installation to ensure that the proper number and type of wires are
pulled to the wall modules, and the building operators are informed about where they can plug in to the E-Bus network with a
portable operator terminal (see Fig. 8 through 10).

Step 3. Lay Out Communications and Power Wiring, for more information on bus wiring layout, and see Fig. 16 through 19 in
Application Step 4. Prepare Wiring Diagrams, for wiring details.
The application engineer must review the Direct Digital Control (DDC) job requirements. This includes the Sequences of
Operation for the Excel 10 controllers, and for the system as a whole. Usually there are variables that must be passed between
the W7750 (CVAHU), Q7750A Zone Manager, W7761 (RIO), and other Excel 10 controller(s), or central plant controller(s) that
are required for optimum system-wide operation. Typical examples are the TOD Occ/Unocc signal, the outdoor air
temperature, demand limit control signal, and smoke control mode signal.
1774-2699
EXCEL 10 W7761A INPUT/OUTPUT DEVICE
It is important to understand these interrelationships early in the job engineering process to ensure implementing when
configuring the controllers. (See Application Step 6. Configure Devices, for information on the various Excel 10 parameters and
on Excel 10 point mapping.)
Step 2. Determine Other Bus Devices Required
A maximum of 62 nodes can communicate on a single E-Bus segment. Each W7761A (RIO), W7750 (CVAHU), W7751 (VAV)
Controller or T7780 Wall Module constitutes one node. If more nodes are required, a Q7751A Router is necessary. Using a
router allows up to 125 nodes, divided between two E-Bus segments. The router accounts for two of these nodes (one node on
each side of the router); a Q7750A Excel 10 Zone Manager takes one node and two nodes are available for operator terminal
nodes, leaving 120 nodes available for Excel 10 Controllers and T7780 Wall Modules. All 120 controllers and T7780 Wall
Modules are able to talk to each other through the router. A Q7750A Excel 10 Zone Manager is required to connect the E-Bus
to the standard EXCEL 5000® System C-Bus. Each Excel 10 Zone Manager can support no more than 120 Excel 10
Controllers and T7780 Wall Modules. This limit is set in the Excel 10 Zone Manager database as an absolute maximum.
Each E-Bus segment is set up with two unused nodes to allow for a CARE/E-Vision or Hand Held Tool (HHT) to be connected
to the E-Bus. Multiple CARE/E-Vision or HHT terminals can be connected to the bus at the same time. Table 4 summarizes the
E-Bus segment configuration rules.

One E-Bus Segment ExampleMaximum Number of Nodes Equals 62
One Q7750A Excel 10 Zone Manager 1 node

Maximum number of Excel 10s and T7780s in segment number
Refer to the E-Bus Wiring Guidelines form, 74-2865 for complete description of network topology rules and the maximum wire
length limitations. If longer runs are required, a Q7740A 2-way or Q7740B 4-way repeater can be added to extend the length of
the E-Bus. A Q7751A Router can be added to partition the system into two segments and effectively double the length of the
E-Bus. Only one router is allowed with each Excel 10 Zone Manager and each network segment can have a maximum of 1
repeater. In addition, all E-Bus segments require the installation of a Bus Termination Module for a singly terminated E-Bus or
two Bus Termination Modules for a doubly terminated E-Bus. For more details on E-Bus termination, refer to the E-Bus Wiring
Guidelines form, 74-2865, or see Application Step 3. Lay Out Communications and Power Wiring, and the E-Bus Termination

Power Wiring
A power budget must be calculated for each Excel 10 W7761 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
by an Excel 10 W7761 Device. This includes the device itself, the equipment actuators (ML6161, or other motors) and various
contactors and transducers, as appropriate, for the Excel 10 configuration.
Power Budget Calculation Example
The following is an example power budget calculation for a typical W7761A Excel 10 Device.

Heating Coil ValveCatalog, 0.32A at 24 Vac
The Excel 10 System example requires 29.9 VA of peak power; therefore, a 40 VA AT72D Transformer is able to provide
ample power for this device and its accessories. Alternatively, a 75 VA AT88A Transformer could be used to power two Excel
10 Systems of this type, or a 100 VA AT92A Transformer could be used to power three of these controllers and meet NEC
Class 2 restrictions (no greater than 100 VA). See Fig. 12 through 14 for illustrations of power wiring details. See Table 5 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, that uses the largest possible VA load, should be determined
when sizing the transformer.
Line Loss
Excel 10 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 W7761 Device drawing 37 VA using 18 AW G (1.0 mm
2
) wire.
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 6.52 ohms per 1000 feet.
Loss = [(200 ft) x (2 - round-trip) 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 device; therefore, to assure the device 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. 11 shows this
voltage load dependence.
In the preceding I x R loss example, even though the device load is only 37 VA, a standard 40 VA transformer is not sufficient
due to the line loss. From Fig. 11, a 40 VA transformer is just under 100 percent loaded (for the 37 VA device) and, therefore,
has a secondary voltage of 22.9 volts. (Use the lower edge of the shaded zone in Fig. 11 that represents the worst case
conditions.) When the I x R loss of four volts is subtracted, only 18.9 volts reaches the device, which is not enough voltage for
proper operation.
In this situation, the engineer basically has three alternatives:
1. Use a larger transformer; for example, if an 80 VA model is used, see Fig. 11, an output of 24.4 volts minus the four volt
line loss supplies 20.4V to the device. Although acceptable, the four-volt line-loss in this example is higher than
recommended. See the following
IMPORTANT
2. Use heavier gauge wire for the power run. 14 AWG (2.0 mm

3. Locate the transformer closer to the device, thereby reducing 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. The rule to remember is to 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 device.

No installation should be designed where the line loss is greater than two volts to allow for nominal operation if the
primary voltage drops to 102 Vac (120 Vac minus 15 percent).
To meet the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) standards, a transformer must stay within the NEMA limits.
The chart in Fig. 11 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.
The following Honeywell transformers meet this NEMA standard:

All field wiring must conform to local codes and ordinances.
To maintain NEC Class 2 and UL ratings, the installation must use transformers of 100 VA or less capacity.
For multiple controllers operating from a single transformer, the same side of the transformer secondary must be
connected to the same input terminal in each device and the ground terminals (1 on the W7761A) must be
connected to a verified earth ground for each device in the group. See Fig. 13. (Device configurations are not
necessarily limited to three devices per transformer.)
For the W7761A Device (which has Triac outputs), all output devices must be powered from the same transformer
as the one powering the Excel 10 W7761A Device.
Use the heaviest gauge wire available, up to 14 AWG (2.0 mm2) with a minimum of 18 AWG (1.0 mm2) for all
power and earth ground connections.
To minimize EMI noise, do not run Triac output wires in the same conduit as the input wires or the E-Bus
communications loop.
Unswitched 24 Vac power wiring can be run in the same conduit as the E-Bus cable.

Make earth ground connections with the shortest possible wire run using 14 AWG (2.0 mm2) wire. A good earth
•
ground is essential for W7761A operation. Ideally, connect the earth ground to the ground bus at a motor control
center or circuit breaker panel. However, if the nearest ideal earth ground is inaccessible, consider an alternate
source for earth ground. Metal water pipe is generally a good ground, but do not use sprinkler pipe if prohibited by
local codes. Attention must be given when duct work, conduit, or rebar are to be considered as ground sources. It
is the responsibility of the installer to assure that these structures are tied back to a known earth ground.
Step 4. Prepare Wiring Diagrams
General Considerations
The purpose of this step is to assist the application engineer in developing job drawings to meet job specifications. Wiring
details are included for the W7761A device the T7770A,B,C,D wall module (sensor—current feature that can be used with the
RIO Device) and the T7780 DDWM. The drawings detail I/O, power, and communication bus wiring connections.
NOTE: For field wiring, when two or more wires are to be attached to the same connector block terminal, be sure to twist
them together. Deviation from this rule can result in improper electrical contact. See Fig. 15.

The connector block terminals on the W7761A and on the T7770 accept 14 through 22 AWG (2.0 to 0.34 mm

W7761A Devices
Fig. 16 through 20 illustrate W7761A Device wiring for various configurations. Connections to the wall module terminals (4
through 6) and the communications terminals (14 and 15) are made at terminal blocks. Connection for access to the E-Bus is
provided by plugging the connector into the communications jack.
NOTE: If an Excel 10 W7761A Device or Zone Manager is not connected to a good earth ground, the device internal transient
protection circuitry is compromised and the function of protecting the device from noise and power line spikes cannot
be fulfilled. This can result in a damaged circuit board and require replacing the device.
