Light Sensor for Zone Control

Switches or sensors being used to control either sequenced or grouped zones are to be connected to the Digital I/O threeposition spring-clamp headers. Each header can accommodate one input device (switch, sensor, relay) and one output device (indicator) maximum.

The center terminal of each Digital I/O header is used as a 24VDC source. The input terminal is triggered when connected through a remote device to the 24VDC source. The output terminal activates a remote device by pulling down from 24VDC to 0VDC and creating current  ow.

To assign both an On and O function for one zone would require two input terminals and occupy two I/O headers. Six (6) Digital I/O headers are located on the left side of the Controller board. If more connections are required for multiple zone control, additional I/O Expander boards can be added. Each I/O Expander board provides an additional 16 headers for a maximum total of 38 input control sources and output indicators.

Audio Sensing Timer (AST) Wiring: One (1) Audio Input three-position spring-terminal header

(located on the right side of the Controller board) is provided for the Audio Sensing Timer function. Connect to a balanced audio line with the input+, common and input– terminated from top to bottom in the header. The voltage threshold for this input is set using the adjacent potentiometer. The trigger point for the AST function is established during Panel Setup.

Analog Input Wiring

Three (3) two-position screw-terminal headers (located on the right side of the Controller board) are provided for Analog Input functions. Connect to any analog device that will provide a 0 – 5VDC or 0-10VDC varying output. Terminate the input line and ground from top to bottom in the headers. The trigger point for Analog Input functions are established during Panel Setup.

Chapter Four--Wiring

Emergency Shutdown Wiring:

To connect your  re alarm or emergency management system to the RPC, follow these steps.

1. From the  re alarm unit or latching Emergency Shuto switch, wire the Normally Open (NO) contacts to the IN and 24V positions of Digital I/O Port #1 on the Controller.

2. If a remote status indicator is used, ensure that the positive terminal is wired to the 24V position and the negative terminal is wired to the OUT position of Digital I/O Port #1.

3. When the Normally Open contacts are closed, the status indicator should immediately light and all breakers that have been selected for E. Shuto should cycle to OFF.

4. When the contacts are released, the status indicator should extinguish and all breakers that were ON when E. Shuto was activated should return to the ON state.

See Chapter 5 to con gure the software for emergency shutdown.

Figure 5-2 shows the network settings portion of the Network setup.

The left hand side of the screen shows the current network values. It is recommended that the user consult with the network administrator before changing these values.

The IP, Subnet and Gateway addresses are only used in the following situations:

• When DHCP is disabled

• When DHCP is enabled, but there is no DHCP server available on the network

• For the network bootloader

If DHCP is enabled and available on the network, all these values will be obtained from the DHCP server.

NetBios Name

The NetBios name defaults to LynTecRPC. Each master panel in your system should be assigned a unique NetBios name. After names are assigned the user can access the system web page by entering the NetBios name into the web browser instead of using the IP address.

Port Type The port type section is used to select the preferred serial

communication protocol. The controller defaults to Ethernet (TCP/IP) for setup but can be controlled in conjunction with RS-232, RS-485 or DMX-512 protocols.

For RS-485 operation the device address must be entered in the adjacent  eld.

For DMX operation use the following steps:

Enter the  rst individual breaker address. All motorized breakers will be automatically assigned to consecutive addresses. Zone control is not availible with DMX operation.

Please note that selecting DMX control will disable web control.

TCP/IP PROTOCOL

Breaker Control = B

Notice: Lyntec RPC ﬁ rmware version 1.18a or later is required to implement this scheme. For technical assistance please call 800-724-4047.

TCP/IP communications and control via a third party control system is facilitated by the use of the HTTP GET command.

Example of GET command:

GET /p2.rpc?IPB002=1

Three modes of control are:

Breaker control = “B” Zone control = “Z” Event Control = “E”

Refer to LynTec RPC browser set-up for breaker numbering

GET /p2.rpc?IPB002=1

This control string will turn breaker #2 on.

GET /p2.rpc?IPB002=0

This control string will turn breaker #2 o .

Control of up to 167 breakers (4 panel system) is possible.

Zone Control = Z

Con gure your zones (breaker groups) using the LynTec RPC browser set-up when connected to the LynTec RPC panel.

GET /p2.rpc?IPZ002=1

This control string will turn zone #2 on.

GET /p2.rpc?IPZ002=0

This control string will turn zone #2 o .

139-0498-01.49 49

Page 50

Appendix B

Events Control = E

GET /p2.rpc?IPE001=1

This control string will turn event #1 on.

GET /p2.rpc?IPE001=0 This control string will turn event #1 o .

Events include:

Event 1 = “All Breakers ON”

Event 2 = “All Breakers OFF”

Event 3 = “Hurry OFF” zips all breakers o fast.

Event 4 = “EO” Emergency override

Event 5 = “Audio Timer” (future)

Event 6 = “BO” Brown-Out

Event 7 = “DMX”

Veri cation Scheme:

The following GET command will return the current status of all breakers, zones and events in the RPC system.

GET /p2.rpc

The system will return the following:

breakers=10110111111111111111 zones=111111111011 events=1000000

The above return is displaying the status of a 20 circuit breakers system in which all are presently ON, with the exceptions of breaker #2 and breaker #5, which are OFF.

The above return is also showing the status of 12 zones, all are ON with the exception of zone #10, which is OFF.

The events return is showing that event #1 is active = “All Breakers ON”

Status returns for Breakers:

Status returns for Zones and Events:

0 = OFF 0 = OFF 1 = ON 1 = ON 2 = Breaker Tripped 2 = Processing 3 = Faulty

power supply is on. Also, verify that the power supply line terminal is secured. Refer to the Power Supply instruction bulletin for installation and safety information.

Make sure the 15A breaker that provides power to the power supply is on.

Verify that the power supply is wired correctly. See Chapter

Verify that both the controller and power supply are energized by observing that all power LEDs are illuminated. Verify that the controller is operating by observing that the CPU LED is blinking.

Reset the circuit breaker by turning it OFF and then back ON.

Restore the circuit breaker to Auto mode by engaging the white button located on the face of the circuit breaker.

Verify that the input wiring is properly connected. Wiring speci cs depend on the type of external switching device being used. Refer to Chapter 4--Wiring for more information.

To test all circuit breakers assigned to a zone,  rst verify that all circuit breakers are in Auto mode. Enter the Setup page and verify that the breaker is assigned to the correct zone. If the circuit breakers are not responding as desired, refer to Chapter 5--Control Setup for more information on how to add or delete a circuit breaker in a zone.

Circuit breakers in slave panels must have properly wired sub-net communications and power. Refer to Chapter 5--Control Setup, as well as instruction bulletins for the control bus, power supply, and slave address selector, for more information.

Each slave panel must have a unique address. Verify that no two slave address selectors have the same address setting and that no slave address selector is set to zero, unless the power supply and controller are remotely mounted with no control bus attached. Refer to the Slave Address Selector instruction bulletin for more information.

Control Bus

Figure D-2

Remotely Operated Circuit Breakers

The control buses provide control and data monitoring for remotely operated circuit breakers and are connected to the power supply and controller. Installed control buses will not interfere with the installation of standard circuit breakers into the panelboard.

Remotely Operated Circuit Breakers provide the same overcurrent protection as standard circuit breakers, and have an integral operator that can remotely switch the circuit breaker ON and OFF. The circuit breaker works with the RPC controller, power supply, and control buses to provide a remote power switching system in a panelboard.

Power Supply The Power Supply connects to a 15A non-motorized breaker

and provides 24VDC, 3A power to the RPC controller.

Figure D-4

Bu er The bu er stores DC power and discharges it during a

brownout or power loss condition to turn o selected breakers (up to four panels). This is a capacitive bu er and is lead and acid free.

Figure D-5

Transducer The transducer converts incoming AC line voltage to a varying

DC output, allowing the RPC to monitor line voltage.
