3FX30E/FX60E Supervisory Controllers Installation Instructions

Mounting

Mount the FX30E/FX60E in a location that allows clearance for wiring, servicing, and module removal.

Follow these recommendations and precautions when mounting and installing the unit.

• Use this controller for indoor use only. Do not expose the unit to ambient conditions outside the range of 0 to 50ºC (32 to 122ºF) and relative humidity outside the range of noncondensing 5 to 95% (Pollution Degree 3).

• Supply voltage requirements are as follows:

Allowable voltage fluctuation to -15%, +10%,

Temporary overvoltages +/- 15%

- Transient overvoltages: Overvoltage Category 2

• For a controller mounted inside an enclosure, ensure that the enclosure is designed to keep the unit within its required operating range (considering a 20-watt dissipation by the controller). This enclosure is especially important if the controller is mounted inside an enclosure with other heat producing equipment.

• Do not mount the unit:

in an area where excessive moisture, corrosive

fumes, or explosive vapors are present

- where vibration or shock is likely to occur

- in a location subject to electrical noise. This

includes the proximity of large electrical contactors, electrical machinery, welding equipment, variable frequency drives, and spark igniters.

• Mount the unit on a 35-mm wide DIN rail (recommended). The FX30E/FX60E unit base and its accessories have molded DIN rail slots and locking clips. Mounting these components on a DIN rail ensures accurate alignment of connectors between all modules.

• If DIN rail mounting is impractical, use screws in mounting tabs on the FX30E/FX60E and in any end-connected accessory (power module, NDIO module). See Figure 2 for tab dimensions.

DIN Rail Mounting Instructions

1. Securely install the DIN rail using at least two screws near both ends of the rail.

2. Position the FX30E/FX60E on the rail, then tilt it to hook the DIN rail tabs over one edge of the DIN rail (Figure 3).

3. Use a screwdriver to pry down the plastic locking clip, and push the FX30E/FX60E down and in, which forces the locking clip to snap over the edge of the DIN rail.

4. Mount the accessory modules (NDIO modules and power module) onto the DIN rail in the same manner (Figure 5). See Table 1 for quantities allowed.

5. Slide the accessory along the DIN rail to connect its 20-position plug into the FX30E/FX60E.

6. Repeat these instructions for all accessories, until all are mounted on the DIN rail and firmly connected to each other. For an example, see Figure 4.

Physical Mounting

The following information applies to the physical mounting of the FX30E/FX60E.

• You do not need to remove the cover before mounting.

• Mount the FX30E/FX60E in any orientation.

To keep the final assembly together, secure the assembly at both ends with DIN rail end-clips. This action also prevents the assembly from sliding on the DIN rail. See Figure 4.

1. Install any option cards (LON, RS-232, RS-485, modem, WTC) in Option Slots 1 and 2. See Mounting Option Cards for the general procedure. For complete details, refer to the specific mounting and wiring guide that shipped with the option card.

2. Connect the supplied earth grounding wires (with spade connector) from the earth ground lug on the FX30E/FX60E and any accessory modules (if used) to a nearby earth grounding point. See Grounding for details.

3. Prepare power wiring (leave the unit powered off). See Power Wiring for details.

4. Connect communications cables. See Communications Wiring for ports available on the FX30E/FX60E base unit. For ports on any installed option card (LON, RS-232, RS-485, modem, and WTC), refer to the specific mounting and wiring guide for additional details.

5. If NDIO modules are installed, connect the I/O wiring. Refer to the appropriate mounting and wiring guide for complete details.

6. Apply power to the unit. See Powerup and Initial Checkout.

Grounding

An earth ground spade lug (0.187 in. [4.75 mm]) is provided on the base of the FX30E/FX60E for connection to earth ground. For maximum protection from electrostatic discharge or other forms of electromagnetic interference, connect the supplied earth grounding wire to this lug and a nearby earth ground (Figure 9). Keep this wire as short as possible.

Power is provided for the FX30E/FX60E plug-in accessory modules through the 30-pin accessory connectors; however, connect the earth ground spade lug of each accessory module to ground in the same manner.

Power Wiring

The FX30E/FX60E must be powered by an approved 15 VDC power source. This source can come from one of the following:

• a DIN rail mount 24 VAC/DC powered module (LP-FXPM24-0)

• a DIN rail mount line voltage (120-240 VAC) module (LP-FXPM263-0)

• an external Class 2 wall mount AC adapter (LP-FXPMUS/EU/UK-0)

The FX30E/FX60E does not include an on/off switch. To apply power, you can do one of the following:

• plug in the power connector to the FX30E/FX60E, if the wall mount power module is used

• plug in its 2-position power connector, if the 24 VAC DIN rail power supply is used

• energize the AC circuit (120-240 VAC) wired to that module, if the line voltage DIN rail power supply is used

11FX30E/FX60E Supervisory Controllers Installation Instructions

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.

If desired, you can use the wall mount power adapter in your office to initially commission the FX30E/FX60E, and then install the DIN rail mount power supply at the project site.

Important: Do not connect both the LP-FXPMUS and

LP-FXPM24 supplies at the same time, or equipment damage may result.

Wiring LP-FXPM24-0 Power Module

The LP-FXPM24-0 module lets you power the FX30E/FX60E (and, if installed, the NDIO16 modules) from a dedicated, Class 2, 24 VAC transformer, or from a 24 VDC power supply. If installing NDIO16 modules, install the power module as the last (end) module in the chain. See Figure 5.

Important: If powering from a 24 VAC transformer, do

not power any other equipment with it. Otherwise, conducted noise problems may result. Also, do not ground either side of the transformer’s secondary.

Located at the bottom of the power module are a 2-position power connector and an earth ground spade lug. Connect the supplied earth ground wire to a nearby earth ground point. Unplug the power connector plug from the module and make connections to it.

Wall Mount Power Module

Three models of wall power modules are available: United States (U.S.), European Union (EU), and United Kingdom (U.K.). All are self-contained, isolated switching power supplies designed to plug into a standard building power receptacle for appropriate voltage. To supply power to the FX30E/FX60E, you simply plug the barrel connector plug from the power module into the barrel power connector on the FX30E/FX60E base unit.

Important: Do not plug the barrel connector plug from

the power module into the FX30E/FX60E until all other mounting and wiring is completed.

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.

Power consumption depends on installed accessories and option cards, and may vary from:

• FX30E/FX60E with power module alone: approximately 7.5 VA (AC) or 7.5 W (DC)

• FX30E/FX60E with power module and 4 NDIO modules, plus option cards: up to 20 VA (AC) or 20 W (DC)

Figure 10: FX30E/FX60E Bottom Side (Cover Removed)

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.

Communication Wiring

Connect communications wiring to the ports on the bottom of the FX30E/FX60E. Note: Prior to connecting cables, provide strain relief for

them to prevent damage to the controller.

Ethernet Port

Two female 10/100-Mbit Ethernet connections are provided on the FX30E/FX60E. These connections are capable of running at either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps; the controller automatically adjusts to either speed. This means the FX30E/FX60E can exist on the same network with a mixture of 10BaseT and 100BaseTX hardware connected to a smart 10/100 hub capable of adjusting to the devices it supports.

Two RJ-45 connectors labeled LAN1 and LAN2 are provided for the Ethernet connections (Figure 9). Use a standard Ethernet patch cable for connecting to a hub or Ethernet switch. An activity LED for each Ethernet port is visible, labeled LAN1 and LAN2 on the cover.

The factory-default IP address for LAN1 is 192.168.1.149. By default, LAN2 is disabled.

Note: Typically, you only use LAN1 (primary port). If you

have a specific application for isolating a driver's network traffic to a separate local area network (LAN), you can use LAN2. Do not use LAN2 as the primary port.

15FX30E/FX60E Supervisory Controllers Installation Instructions

Serial Ports

The FX30E/FX60E has two serial ports (Figure 10). Each port has a Universal Asynchronous Receive Transmit (UART) capable of operating up to 115,200 baud. The left port is an RS-232 port that requires a DB-9 male plug connector. The right port is a non-isolated RS-485 port that uses two wires with a shield connection and a screw-terminal connector plug.

Note: A green receive LED and yellow transmit LED are

provided for each serial port. These LEDs are located on the bottom board opposite of the serial connectors (Figure 7). The LEDs are labeled on the board (COM1, COM2) and are not visible with the cover on.

Table 4: Serial Port Pinouts

RS-232 Port

An RS-232 serial port uses a DB-9 male connector and always operates as COM1. You can use a standard DB-9 serial cable with this port. The FX30E/FX60E is a serial Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) device, so connecting another DTE device (computer) requires a null modem cable. To connect the FX30E/FX60E to a Data Communication Equipment (DCE) device (modem), use a straight-through cable. Table 4 provides the standard serial DB-9 pinouts.

Base RS-485 Port (COM2) Pinouts

RS-485 Port

An RS-485 non-isolated port uses a 3-position, screw terminal connector and always operates as COM2. Use shielded 18-22 AWG wire for this connector (refer to the Telecommunications Industry Association/Electronic Industries Alliance [TIA/EIA-485 standard]). As shown in Table 4, the screw terminals (from left to right) are shield, plus (+), and minus (–).

RS-485 Biasing

The FX30E/FX60E's RS-485 port has a pair of 2-pin jumpers that can be shorted with jumper blocks to provide biasing. When shipped from the factory, these pins are not shorted and therefore, the RS-485 port is unbiased.

Biasing can improve RS-485 communications by eliminating indeterminate idle states. When you install two, 2-pin shorting blocks on the controller's RS-485 bias jumper pins, the shorting blocks add two onboard 3.3K ohm resistors into the controller's RS-485 circuit, as follows:

• from RS-485 plus (+) to 5 V

• from RS-485 minus (-) to ground

Note: Only one device on an RS-485 trunk should be

biased. Otherwise, undue loading of the circuit may result with fewer devices supported.

Note: RS-485 bias resistors are different than

termination resistors, externally installed at the two physical ends of a daisy-chained RS-485 trunk, across the plus (+) and minus (-) terminals. Termination resistors are typically 100 or 120 ohm value resistors.

Note: If termination resistors are used, RS-485 biasing

is typically required.

Powerup and Initial Checkout

Ensure that power wiring to the transformer is complete before you proceed.

After you have completed all mounting and wiring steps:

1. Do one of the following:

• Insert the power plug into either the 24 VAC/DC

power module, or if using a wall adapter, the FX30E/FX60E.

• Energize the 120–240 VAC circuit wired to the

module, if using the line voltage power supply module.

2. Apply power.

Important: Do not connect both the wall power

module and the DIN rail power modules at the same time, or equipment damage will result, or a power outage may go unrecognized.

Backup Configurations

An FX30E/FX60E allows two separate and configurable methods to preserve unsaved station data when power quality events occur, including loss of primary power or low-voltage dips (brownout):

• Using the integral Static RAM (SRAM) on the FX30E/FX60E. This default method allows the unit to operate battery-less (without installing the optional NiMH battery pack). Note in this configuration, a reboot is likely to occur when a power outage or voltage dip is sustained for more than one AC line cycle (1/50th or 1/60th of a second) or a number of line cycles, depending on the load and power supply. Critical station data already is saved prior to any power quality event, but the NiMH battery option is available to prevent nuisance controller reboots during extended or frequent power outages.

• Using an optional on-board NiMH battery pack. Connecting the optional battery allows the controller to continue operation (without rebooting) over short power outages or brownouts lasting several seconds (or if also using SRAM, up to 10 minutes). For longer duration outages, the battery allows the controller to perform a controlled shutdown, safely backing up the station before shutting down.

The FX30E/FX60E can use both the NiMH backup battery and available SRAM for backup protection. Configuring for both backup battery and SRAM support provides the most comprehensive backup protection. This configuration allows the

FX30E/FX60E to handle brief power outages, while also protecting against a weak or aged battery.

SRAM

The FX30E/FX60E includes an on-board SRAM and associated circuitry, allowing battery-less operation. A separate SRAM option card is not needed (or supported) in an FX30E/FX60E controller.

The default station backup configuration is to use SRAM, via the platform DataRecoveryService, which is automatically created in the FX30E/FX60E’s running station. However, in some cases, a station may be a poor candidate for SRAM support, requiring too many resources by the associated platform service (for example, a station with many rapidly changing values all captured as histories, on change of value). In this case, you may need to disable SRAM support, and install and use only the optionally included NiMH battery pack.

NiMH Battery Pack

Use the custom 10-cell NiMH (nickel metal hydrite) battery assembly (included with the product) as an alternative to, or with, the SRAM backup method.

This battery allows the controller to continue station operation through short power bumps, ranging from a few seconds to a minute or more in duration (up to 10 minutes, if also using SRAM). If the controller experiences a longer outage, the NiMH battery provides enough run time for the unit to backup data and then shutdown. Shutdown occurs automatically, after data is backed up to on-board flash memory.

The FX30E/FX60E charges the battery during normal operation, until the controller is fully charged. Typically, the charge operation completes within 18 hours. Following a power outage, the battery is charged again, as necessary. The power and battery circuitry is monitored by a station running on the FX30E/FX60E (via its PowerMonitorService). Station alarms are generated when primary power is lost, or if the battery is uncharged or unable to hold a sufficient charge.

Connecting the Backup Battery

With the cover removed from the FX30E/FX60E, locate the red and black wires with a plug on the backup battery. Insert the plug into the battery connector on the bottom board.

19FX30E/FX60E Supervisory Controllers Installation Instructions

Figure 13: Backup Battery Connector Location

The connector is keyed so you cannot insert it incorrectly. The red (positive) connection should be the furthest from the two 30-pin option board connectors.

Note: A NiMH battery characteristic is to lose charge if

not left in charge mode (trickle charge). Leaving the battery unconnected, or in the unit powered off causes the battery to fully discharge in a matter of weeks. Note that a new NiMH battery may be partially discharged. Therefore, allow at least 18 hours for a new battery to charge if it has not been in a powered unit.

The NiMH battery assembly should be replaced approximately every three years or more often if the unit is in a high temperature environment.

Enabling Battery Only Backup Service

If a station is not compatible with SRAM support and you want to use the optional backup battery instead of the onboard SRAM, connect the optional NiMH battery pack to the FX30E or FX60E.

In the station’s DataRecovery-Service, set the Service Enabled property to false. In the station’s PlatformServices, make sure the Battery Present property is true.

Status LEDs

Checking the Status LEDs

When power is applied, the green LED labeled Status is lit. This LED status indicates that the system is normal and power is applied. Once the FX30E/FX60E boots, the yellow BEAT (heartbeat) LED begins to blink, with a typical rate of about one blink per second. Blinking should begin within 30 seconds after power is applied.

If, after applying power, the STATUS LED goes out, or the BEAT LED comes on steady and stays lit for longer than 2 minutes, contact your technical support representative for assistance. See also Using Status LEDs.

Using Status LEDs

The FX30E/FX60E includes several LEDs that can help determine the status of the unit. These LEDs include:

• Ethernet Ports

• Heartbeat

• Status

• Serial Ports

See Figure 7 for the location of the status LEDs.

Ethernet Ports LEDs

Each Ethernet port has one green LED, visible on the top cover. A LAN# LED indicates activity on that port as follows:

• Off: No Ethernet link is established.

• On: Ethernet link is established, but no activity is on the LAN.

• Blinking: Ethernet link is established with data activity on the LAN.

Heartbeat LED

The yellow BEAT LED is located to the right of the Ethernet status LEDs. Under normal operation, this LED should blink about once per second. If the BEAT LED stays on constantly, does not light, or blinks very fast (more than once per second), contact your technical support representative for assistance.

Important: During boot-up, the heartbeat LED blinks in

a 90% on, 10% off pattern. Do not remove power during this time, or data loss may result (NDIO module’s firmware upgrade may be in progress).

20FX30E/FX60E Supervisory Controllers Installation Instructions

Status LED

The green Status LED is located to the right of the heartbeat (BEAT) LED. This LED provides a central processing unit (CPU) machine status check, and remains lit whenever the FX30E/FX60E is powered. If the Status LED does not light while power is applied, contact your technical support representative for assistance.

Serial Port LEDs

LEDs for the two serial ports are located on the FX30E/FX60E’s bottom board on the opposite side of the RS-232 and RS-485 ports (Figure 7). Labels COM1 and COM2 correspond to the software configuration of the COM ports. LEDs show, transmit, and receive activity for the serial ports and optional modem.

Note: You must remove the cover to see the serial port

LEDs. See Removing and Replacing the Cover.

• The yellow Transmit LED indicates that the FX30E/FX60E is sending data out the serial port over a communications line to a connected device.

• The green Receive LED indicates that the FX30E/FX60E is receiving data from a connected device.

These LEDs are driven by pulse detectors that provide a fixed on-time sequence when data is detected on the port. If the receive LED is on constantly, a problem with the communications channel may be present, such as a shorted wire or reversed wiring.

Niagara

As shipped from the factory, the FX30E/FX60E is preconfigured with a Niagara build, a license, and

Johnson Controls® specific Java® Archive (JAR) files.
