Integration
Ri
Integrating the MicroTech II LonWorks Communications Module into a BAS involves three steps:
!
Connecting the unit (node) to the network,
!
Addressing and establishing communications with the unit, and
!
Configuring the unit to the building.
Connecting to the Network
After you have installed the MicroTech II LonWorks Communications Module in the unit, you must
connect it into the LonWorks network.
Network Topology
Each MicroTech II LonWorks Communications Module is equipped with an FTT-10A transceiver for
network communications. This transceiver allows for (1) free topology network wiring schemes using
twisted pair (unshielded) cable and (2) polarity insensitive connections at each node. These features
greatly simplify installation and reduce network commissioning problems. Additional nodes may be
added with little regard to existing cable routing.
Free Topology Networks
A LonWorks “free topology network” means that devices (nodes) can be connected to the network in
a variety of geometric configurations. For example, devices can be daisy-chained from one device to
the next, connected with stub cables branching off from a main cable, connected using a tree or star
topology, or any of these configurations can be mixed on the same network.
Free topology segments require termination for proper transmission performance. Only one
termination is required. It may be placed anywhere along the segment
FTT-10A Transceiver User’s Guide for details.
Free topology networks may take on the following topologies:
• Bus
• Ring
• Star
• Mixed - Any combination of Bus, Ring, and Star
As shown in Figure 8.
. Refer to Echelon LonWorks
See Reference Documents for part number.
Note:
Limitations to wire lengths apply and must be observed.

A network segment is any part of the free topology network in which each conductor is electrically
continuous. Each of the four diagrams is an illustration of a network segment. Some applications may
require two or more segments; see “Free Topology Restrictions.”. If necessary, segments can be
joined with FTT-10A-to-FTT-10A physical layer repeaters. See Figure 9.

Free Topology Restrictions
Although free topology wiring is very flexible, there are restrictions. A summary follows, refer to the
Echelon FTT-10A User’ s Guide for details
1. The maximum number of nodes per segment is 64.
2. The maximum total bus length depends on the wire size (see “Qualified Cables” for details):
Wire Size Maximum Node-to-Node Length Maximum Cable Length
24 AWG 820 ft (250 m) 1476 ft (450 m)
22 AWG 1312 ft (400 m) 1640 ft (500 m)
16 AWG 1640 ft (500 m) 1640 ft (500 m)
The longest cable path between any possible pair of nodes on a segment must not exceed the
maximum node-to-node distance. If two or more paths exist between a pair of nodes (e.g., a loop
topology), the longest path should be considered. Note that in a bus topology, the longest nodeto-node distance is equal to the total cable length.
Note:
The total length of all cable in a segment must not exceed the maximum total cable length.
3. One termination is required in each segment. It may be located anywhere along the segment.
. See Reference Documents for part number.
Doubly Terminated Networks
You can extend the maximum total cable length without using a repeater by using doubly-terminated
network topology. See Figure 10. The trade-offs are (1) this network topology must be rigorously
followed during the installation and subsequent retrofits and (2) two terminations must be installed at
the ends of the bus for proper transmission performance.
Transceiver User’s Guide for details.
Note:
Limitations to wire lengths apply and must be observed.
See Reference Documents for part number.
Refer to Echelon LonWo r ks FTT-10A
Figure 10. Doubly Terminated Network Topology
Termination Termination
Doubly Terminated Topology Restrictions
The restrictions on doubly-terminated bus topology are as follows:
IM 735-0 13
1. The maximum number of nodes per segment is 64.
2. The maximum total bus length depends on the wire size (see “Qualified Cables” for details):
Wire Size Maximum Cable Length
24 AWG 2952 ft (900 m)
22 AWG 4590 ft (1400 m)
16 AWG 8855 ft (2700 m)
3. The maximum stub length is 9. 8 ft (3 m).
A stub is a piece of cable that is wired between the node and the bus. Note that if the bus is wired
directly to the node, there is no stub, and thus the stub length is zero. If you are wiring to a field
terminal strip on a unit, be sure to account for any factory wiring between the terminal strip and
the controller. This wiring is considered part of the stub.
4. Two terminations are required in each segment. One must be located at each end of the bus.

Qualified Cables
Echelon has qualified three twisted-pair network communications cables that are available from a
large number of different sources.

or applications may require the use of plenum-rated cable. The following cables meet this
specification.
1. TIA568A Category 5 cable (24AWG/0.51mm)
2. NEMA Level IV cable (22AWG/0.65mm)
3. Generic 16AWG (1.3mm) (similar to Belden 85102)
Do not install the cable in the same conduit with power wiring. The temperature of the cable must not
exceed 131°F (55°C).
Refer to Echelon LonWorks FTT-10A Free Topology
See Reference Documents for part number. Some local codes
Note:
Ideally, you should connect two controllers with one continuous piece of cable in order
to reduce the risk of communications errors. If you must splice the cable, use crimp-type
butt connectors (good) or solder (best). Do not use wire nuts.
Network Cable Termination
LonWorks network segments require termination for proper data transmission performance. The type
and number of terminations depend on network topology.

Addressing and Establishing Communications
LonWorks Network Addressing
Every Neuron Chip has a unique 48-bit Neuron ID or physical address. This address is generally used
only at initial installation or for diagnostic purposes. For normal network operation, a device address
is used.
Device addresses are defined at the time of network configuration. All device addresses have three
parts. The first part is the Domain ID, designating the domain. Devices must be in the same domain in
order to communicate with each other. The second part is the Subnet ID that specifies a collection of
up to 127 devices that are on a single channel or a set of channels connected by repeaters. There may
be up to 255 subnets in a domain. The third part is the Node ID that identifies an individual device
within the subnet.
A group is a logical collection of devices within a domain. Groups are assembled with regard for their
physical location in the domain. There may be up to 256 groups in a domain. A group address is the
address that identifies all devices of the group. There may be any number of devices in a group when
unacknowledged messaging is used. Groups are limited to 64 de vices if acknowledged messaging is
used.
A broadcast address identifies all devices within a subnet or domain.
Commissioning the Network
Pressing the service pin generates a service-pin message, which contains the Neuron ID and the
program code identification of the node. A service-pin message is a network message that is
generated by a node and broadcast on the network. It can be used to commission the LonWorks
network.
A network configuration tool maps device Neuron IDs to the domain/subnet/node logical addressing
scheme when it creates the network image, the logical network addresses and connection information
for all devices (nodes) on the network.
External Interface File (XIF)
LonMark guidelines specify exact documentation rules so that proprietary configuration tools are not
required to commission and configure LonWorks devices. The MicroTech II LonWorks Chiller
Communications Module is self-documenting so that any network management tool can ob t ain all the
information needed over the network to connect it into the system and to configure and manage it. An
external interface file (a specially formatted PC text file with the extension .XIF) is also available so
that any network tool can design and configure it prior to installation. For a copy of the XIF file,
contact your local McQuay International representative.
Configuring the Unit Controller
The MicroTech II Chiller Controller LonWorks Communications Module is configured at the factory
as a chiller unit controller in accordance with the LonMark Chiller functional profile. The unit is
ready to operate with the default values of the various parameters set at the factory. Default values
may be changed via the network. See the appropriate operation manual for default values and keypad
operation and see the MicroTech II Chiller Protocol Information for descriptions of the network
variables. See Reference Documents for part numbers.
