Issued November 2, 2011
Supersedes April 29, 2011

Applications

The E-Link Gateway provides Johnson Controls® and YORK® mechanical equipment, such as chillers and rooftop units, with Building Automation System (BAS) networking connectivity. It is designed with three active serial ports: Port 1 and Port 4 are used for BAS networking, Port 2 is reserved for connecting to the equipment, and Port 3 provides access for auxiliary monitoring and control.
To simplify the installation and setup, the E-Link Gateway comes pre-configured with a series of chiller and rooftop equipment profiles that you can choose by selecting the correct DIP switch settings.
Several E-Link Gateway models are available for connection to various types of input voltage and equipment. For chillers using the OptiView™ or Latitude Micro Panel, the E-Link Gateway consist s of a single circuit board attached to four studs inside the Micro Panel, using the accessory mounting kit. The panel supplies 12 VDC input power, eliminating the need for an external power supply.
For chillers using the IPU-II based Micro Panel, the E-Link Gateway is installed inside the Micro Panel and requires an additional transformer to supply power to the E-Link Gateway. The transformer is included in the E-Link IPU-II Installation Kit. (This kit is not available in Europe. Use E-Link Gateway YK-ELNKE00-0.)
For other types of chillers, the E-Link Gateway is packaged in its own enclosure. In addition to the E-Link Gateway circuit board, a transformer is included inside the enclosure that converts a 120- or 240-volt input to 24 VAC power.

FIG:MntEquip
Figure 4: Mounting on the Equipment
For all other applications, the E-Link Gateway includes an optional enclosure. The optional enclosure does not include communication cables due to the variety of types and lengths that may be required.
3. Locate and remove the two plastic caps in the bottom of the E-Link Gateway enclosure.
4. Mark an appropriate place on the enclosure for a matching set of knock out holes. Mark and drill, or punch, two holes in the Micro Panel.
IMPORTANT: Never install the E-Link Gateway outside the confines of a building unless within another enclosure rated IP 65/NEMA 4x or higher.
The E-Link Gateway can be mounted as a stand-alone enclosure either on the outside surface of the chiller Micro Panel (close coupled), or on a smooth surface within close proximity of the chiller panel enclosure.
For mounting on a Micro Panel, the line voltage power is supplied by a power source in the Micro Panel.
IMPORTANT: Make sure that the cover is securely fastened to the enclosure and the internal ground wire is attached before placing the Gateway in operation. These steps help to minimize Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) from being generated and picked up.

Mounting on a Micro Panel

WARNING: Risk of Electric Shock.
Disconnect or isolate all power supplies before making electrical connections. More than one disconnect or isolation may be required to completely de-energize equipment. Contact with components carrying hazardous voltage can cause electric shock and may result in severe personal injury or death.
5. Using two bulkhead pipe couplers, attach the E-Link Gateway enclosure to the Micro Panel.
6. Complete wiring as described in the Applying Power section in this document.
IMPORTANT: Be careful not to damage the E-link Gateway or Micro Panel’s circuit boards during the installation. Protect all circuit boards from metal chips, which may cause short circuits if left on the boards at startup.
Note: Use of bulkhead pipe couplers provides sufficient clearance to allow removal of the E-Link Gateway cover.
IMPORTANT: When attaching the E-Link Gateway to a Micro Panel, ensure the E-Link Gateway does not impede access to other components.
To mount the E-Link Gateway on a Micro Panel:
1. Disconnect power to the chiller Micro Panel.
2. Make sure the E-link Gateway enclosure fits properly and that no obstructions, such as internal boards, switches, or external conduit, prevent mounting or servicing of the panel. See Figure 4 for examples of good mounting locations.

To mount the E-Link Gateway on a wall:
IMPORTANT: When wall mounting, make sure there is no interference with other components in the near vicinity. Use appropriate conduit to connect the power and communications wiring.
1. Check for proper clearances for the necessary electrical and communications cable runs.
2. Ensure that power and communications wiring is in compliance with all local, national, and regional codes, and customer requirements.
3. Select a suitable location and mark the anchor points. Ensure that the enclosure is level. See Figure 5 for an example.
4. Drill the appropriate holes in accord an ce w ith th e type of wall anchor used.
5. Install the enclosure on the wall.
IMPORTANT: Be careful not to damage the circuit boards during installation.
6. Check that the mounting is secure and the wiring connections are correct and tight. Check that no loose wire strands or other metal objects that could cause a short circuit are on the circuit board.
7. Complete wiring as described in the Applying Power section.

Applying Power

When using an enclosure type of E-Link Gateway, power can be supplied from either a separate power supply or the main terminal strip in the chiller panel. Locate the power source within 0.9 m (3 ft) of the E-Link Gateway, and protect it with a suitable fuse or circuit breaker. Ensure th e power is supplied from a dedicated source and not controlled by a programmed switch.
If the enclosure is mounted on a wall, the wiring from the power source to the E-Link Gateway must always run in a suitable conduit. To obtain the best Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) performance, ensure that the conduit is bonded to the metal of both enclosures. Scraping the paint around the knockouts usually helps provide a better electrical connection between the joining parts.
WARNING: Risk of Electric Shock.
Disconnect or isolate all power supplies before making electrical connections. More than one disconnect or isolation may be required to completely de-energize equipment. Contact with components carrying hazardous voltage can cause electric shock and may result in severe personal injury or death.
CAUTION: Risk of Property Damage.
Do not apply power to the system before checking all wiring connections. Short circuited or improperly connected wires may result in permanent damage to the equipment.
E-Link Gateway Installation Instructions6
1. Connect a 1.29-1.02 mm (16-18 AWG) wire from a reliable ground reference to the E-Link Gateway’s incoming power ground lug. Do not remove the existing wire that connects the ground lug to the enclosure cover.
2. On 120 VAC applications, connect the Hot wire to TB2 and the Neutral wire to TB1. Connect the ground wire to a ground lug.
On 240 VAC applications, connect the Hot wire to TB3 and the Neutral wire to TB1. Connect the ground wire to a ground lug.
IMPORTANT: Use copper conductors only. Make all wiring connections in accordance with local, national, and regional regulations. Do not exceed the E-Link Gateway’s electrical ratings.
1. Apply power and verify that the red power
FIG:PwrConn
Figure 6: Power Connection Shown as 120 VAC
Light-Emitting Diode (LED) on the IPU-II board is on. Make sure the T-switch is set to OFF, and then set the required Media Access Control (MAC) address. Set the MAC address in accordance with the system integrator to ensure that a unique address is used. If any non-standard setup is required, refer to the E-Link Commissioning and Troubleshooting Guide (LIT-12011238) for more details.

2. Based on the equipment to be integrated (see Table 8) and the required BAS output protocol (see Table 9), select the appropriate settings on GROUP A and GROUP B switches. For equipment points lists, refer to the Johnson Controls Portal
(Products and Services>Delivery>Products/ Service Field Support>Equipment Integration>YORK Equipment Data Maps).

Commissioning a Standard Application

Once the E-Link Gateway has been mechanically and electrically installed (that is, it has been located in its enclosure, wired, and terminated appropriately), it may be Quick Commissioned.
3. Press, hold a few seconds, then release the push button shown in Figure 11. The status LED flashes quickly. After the E-Link Gateway re-initializes, the commissioning is complete.
4. When commissioning a
LONWORKS BAS output
protocol, disconnect the BAS network and cycle the power on the E-Link Gateway to activate the Quick St art and the
LONWORKS FTT10 ProtoCessor.
The ProtoCessor does not recognize the push button as a trigger to reset and load the correct conversion file. Wait a minimum of 10 minutes before reconnecting the BAS network.
5. Check the E-Link Gateway’s LEDs. First, check the ST ATUS LED; if the E-Link Gateway has no errors, it flashes continuously (1/2 second on, 1/2 second off). If the LED is not flashing continuously, see Table 6 for possible reasons.

For all chillers that use the YORK T alk protocols, check that the Port 2 communication LEDs, Red (TX) and Green (RX), are flashing. This scenario indicates that the chiller panel is being polled and is responding. See Figure for the location of Port 2 communication LEDs.

What You Should Know before Using Quick Starts

The E-Link is designed to use a set of predefined data maps to associate equipment data with a set of fixed BAS network variables. You are not able to make any field changes to these data maps; attempting to do so results in the automatic reversal of any edits that you may have made. For any field patches, refer to your local FSC (Field Support Center) for guidance.
The data maps used by the E-L i nk Gate way ar e based on a collection of version controlled equipment point lists, which are supplied by the equipment business for the purpose of integrating equipment into BAS networks. Unless noted otherwise, the equipment’s data is available in these supported BAS protocols: BACnet MS/TP, N2,
LONWORKS, and Modbus RTU.
The first release of the E-Link was positioned to provide the equivalent functionality as offered by the YORK MicroGateway. That release requires you to reference point lists which are version J or earlier. All subsequent E-link releases use point lists version K or later.
Table 7: E-Link Releases
Firmware/Database Revision Point Lists
SSM4567 JCF0003BL.BIN J and earlier only SSM4567 JCF0008BL.BIN J and earlier, or K
Quick Starts 1 through 16 all use the J version point lists, whereas Quick Starts 17 through 33 use the K version. The primary difference between the two categories is that Quick Starts 1 through 16 have limited network visible points. In this case, the available points are those which were originally available at the time when the MicroGateway was first released.
Quick Starts 17 and higher offer a much richer equipment point compliment that is more reflective of what the equipment currently makes available today. These Quick Starts also create profiles that use more descriptive BACnet point names, use engineering units, and follow the BACnet Testing Laboratories™ (BTL) guidelines for compliance as a B-ASC contro ller.
In most cases, using a Quick Start that corresponds to the equipment being integrated is sufficient to configure the E-Link Gateway for operating on the BAS network; however, in some circumstances, you will be required to provide further customizing by connecting a laptop computer onto Port 3 and then accessing the User Reports (refer to the E-Link Gateway Commissioning and Troubleshooting Technical Bulletin [LIT-12011238] for more information).

1. When making edits to User Report 4 (Port Configuration), Group Application Switch B must be set to zero. This setting ensures that the edits are stored. Otherwise, the edits are overwritten to the default values assigned to the particular Group Switch B setting the next time E-Link is reset, or power is cycled. Edits made in any other User Reports do not require alterations to either bank of Group Application switches. For standard set-up, not requiring modifications via User Report 4, use application switch B, settings 1 to 14.
2. The Terminal setting on Port 4 is restricted for factory use only.
To comply with the LONMARK® specification, all data transmitted on the LONWORKS network must be expressed in SI units
(metric units). The L
ONWORKS ProtoCessor performs no unit conversions; it assumes that the data supplied is already
correctly expressed.
3. Use Quick Start 9 and 11 if the equipment is supplying the data in SI units (the E-Link is not required to perform any conversions, so it operates in pass-through mode).
4. Use Quick Start 10 and 12 if the equipment is supplying the data in Imperial units and the E-Link is required to convert these units into SI.
5. Setting Switch T = ON, on the MAC address, forces TERMINAL mode of Port 3, at 57,600 baud, N, 8, 1. This setting is only required to debug the E-Link Gateway’s operation, or access the User Reports.
6. Select Quick Starts 9 and 10 when connecting the E-Link Gateway to an ECO2 unit.
7. Quick Starts 15 on APP Group B, and 63 on APP Group A, are reserved for field adjustments.

Figure 7: Grounding Label
WARNING: Risk of Electric Shock.
Disconnect or isolate all power supplies before making electrical connections. More than one disconnect or isolation may be required to completely de-energize equipment. Contact with components carrying hazardous voltage can cause electric shock and may result in severe personal injury or death.
CAUTION: Risk of Property Damage.
Do not apply power to the system before checking all wiring connections. Short circuited or improperly connected wires may result in permanent damage to the equipment.
IMPORTANT: Make all wiring connections in accordance with local, national, and regional regulations.
Install the wiring so it does not cause a hazard, and is protected against electrical and mechanical damage.

Power

The E-Link Gateway circuit board is powered from either a 12 VDC, or a 24 VAC, Class 2 power source. When used with an OptiView chiller, the Micro Panel supplies low-voltage power via a power harness supplied by the OptiView/Latitude installation kit. If the E-Link Gateway circuit board is installed in its own enclosure, a transformer is included in the enclosure. Line voltage may be supplied using an external power source, or drawn from the input voltage terminal strip inside the equipment. Be sure the capacity of the power conductors supplying the equipm ent is rat ed for the additional power (VA) required by the E-Link Gateway. Use a wire that is one size larger than required for the amperage draw (maximum 400 mA) to connect the line voltage feed to the E-Link Gateway. For the line voltage power source, use a dedicat ed line (with a separate fuse) that is isolated (using a control transformer) from other equipment in the plant room that may generate Electromagnetic Interference (EMI).

Grounding

For the enclosure style, a ground wire must be connected directly to the enclosure supply power ground lug at the point of entry. A small label (Figure 7) identifies this grounding point. This ground wire should be connected through a continuous ground circuit to the incoming ground at the source transfo r me r.

Ground the E-Link Gateway enclosure according to local, national, and regional regulations. Failure to ground the E-Link Gateway may result in electric shock and severe personal injury or death.

Protection of Communication Ports

When using RS-485 technology, it is possible that electrical disturbances, such as voltage spikes, can damage a circuit board. The E-Link Gateway includes tranzorbs on each RS-485 port to protect against damaging electrical spikes and stray voltage.
The equipment panel should also be equipped with protection against electrical disturbances. Whereas OptiView Micro Panels are equipped with onboard tranzorbs, other equipment panels may require the addition of an external board. Refer to the equipment documentation for details. Port 1 of the E-Link Gateway is also electrically isolated, providing a means of mitigating common mode voltage induced problems.

High Noise Environments

Electrical equipment that employs high speed switching circuits (Variable Speed Drives [VSD], Solid State Starters [SSS], and computing equipment) generates Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) noise and Radio Frequency Interference (RFI), which can generate transient voltage between ground points in the communication wiring. The RS-485 circuitry is designed to withstand some low transient volt age, but if this difference exceeds certain limits, it can permanently damage the RS-485 circuitry.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that the Micro Panel and the E-Link Gateway are powered from a source with a true earth ground.
E-Link Gateway Installation Instructions 11
IMPORTANT: Do not run communication cables in
Figure 8: RS-485 EOL Switches
Figure 9: MAC Dip Switch
close proximity to, or parallel with, high-voltage power cables (maintain at least 457.2 mm [18 in.] of separation, or use a grounded met al conduit).

Electrical Noise Mitigation to Equipment

The likelihood of transient voltage is greatly reduced if the E-Link Gateway is close-coupled to the Micro Panel. Close-coupling requires that the E-Link Gateway and Micro Panel share the same line voltage power source and are physically close to one another. Typically, the E-link Gateway is mounted on the Micro Panel enclosure. This scenario ensures a short communication cable, which is usually protected entirely within the two enclosures.

Electrical Noise Mitigation for E-Link to BAS

When the E-Link is used in an electrically hostile environment (for example, with VSD-enabled equipment), a double-shielded cable should be used to help mitigate the adverse effects electrical noise can have on the system. The double-shielded cable should connect the E-Link’s BAS port (Port 1 or Port 4) to the next controller(s) in the daisy-chained network.
The outer shield of the double-shielded cable should be grounded directly at the low noise end (the end most distant from the VSD), and ideally, indirectly through an appropriate capacitor at the high noise end (the end closest to the VSD). If a capacitor is not available, the outer shield may be left unconnected, or tied directly to ground. The best results on the site determine the specific termination strategy employed.
The inner shield of the double-shielded cable should be grounded directly at the low noise end (the end most distant from the VSD), and left open at the high noise
end (the end closest to the VSD).

Setup and Adjustments

There are a number of settings that you may make on an E-Link Gateway or to the connected equipment.

Network Termination

Terminate all End-of-Line (EOL) devices at either end of the RS-485 bus (that connect to only one set of RS-485 network wires). EOL termination provides biasing of the network, and assists in returning the signal to a normal state in the event of voltage transients. If the E-link Gateway happens to be the end-of-line device, terminate the network by setting the EOL switch located above each of the E-Link Gateway’s RS-485 ports to the ON position.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that the EOL switches are not set to the ON position for controllers that do not terminate the RS-485 network.

Media Access Control (MAC) Address

The E-Link Gateway’s network hardware address is set on a single 8-way DIP switch. Switch 8, the T switch, is reserved to invoke Terminal mode on Port 3, leaving the remaining 7 switches for setting the address. Refer to the E-Link Gateway Commissioning and
Troubleshooting Technical Bulletin (LIT-12011238) for more details.

Types of Communication Ports

The E-Link Gateway uses three communication protocols to connect to other devices: RS-485 and FFT are used for multi-drop networking, whereas RS-232 is primarily used for point-to-point connectivity.

RS-485

The RS-485 standard uses three conductors to connect network nodes: two signal wires and a reference. The E-Link Gateway uses either a third wire for the reference or the building’s infrastructure. The wiring method depends on the port being used: an electrically isolated Port 1 typically uses a third wire, whereas Ports 2 and 3 normally use chassis or bu ilding ground for the reference.
E-Link Gateway Installation Instructions12
The network address is binary weighted, allowing you to set up to 127 unique addresses.

APP Group A

APP Group A uses a 6-way DIP switch to select the desired equipment’s profile. This switch is also binary weighted, allowing up to 63 unique selections.

APP Group B

Figure 10: APP A and APP B DIP Switches
Figure 11: E-Link Gateway Push Button
Figure 12: Micro Panel Rotary Switch
APP Group B uses a 4-way DIP switch to select the desired output protocol. This switch is also binary weighted, allowing up to 15 unique selections.

Push Button

The E-Link Gateway uses a push button (Figure 1 1) as a means of activating any user selections on APP Group A and APP Group B switches.
Note: Refer to the E-Link Gateway Commissioning and Troubleshooting Technical Bulletin (LIT-12011238) for more details.

Setting the Rotary Switch on Chiller Panels

Some Micro Panels YORK Talk II address (YORK Talk address = Rotary Switch setting + 1). Since the E-Link Gateway uses a one-to-one relationship with the chiller panel, this switch is normally set to 0 (YORK Talk address 1). However, in a master/subordinate configuration, set the master Micro Panel rotary switch to 0, and the subordinate Micro Panel to 1. If the chiller Micro Panel is not equipped with a rotary switch, the YORK Talk address may be set using the Micro Panel keypad. In most cases, you can configure the setting, but some models are fixed and cannot be changed (refer to the equipment documentation for specific details).

Network Topology

The E-Link Gateway has three serial communications ports and an optional equipment to a BAS system. Port 1 and Port 4 are designed as the BAS ports, with Port 1 used to sup port all RS-485 based communication protocols, and Port 4 used for
