Systems Overview

System Types

Overview

The Orion system components can be conﬁ gured into several types of systems. It is a good idea to become familiar with the different types of systems and their architecture by reading the information in this section and looking at the conﬁ guration diagrams in the System Conﬁ gurations section of this manual. The information below is de- signed to help you understand how the system components integrate with each other and the available conﬁ guration options.

System Types

Four different system conﬁ gurations are available depending on the type and number of controllers that you have on your system.

1. Stand Alone (See Figure 3, page 22 for Connection Diagram)

Interconnected

This system consists of a group of VCM-X E-BUS Controllers interconnected with communication cable to allow programming from one central location. Broadcasting between controllers is not available. Programming and status monitoring are accomplished by one or more of the following methods.

1. By using an operator interface. This can be a Modular System Manager, a System Manager TS II, a Modular Service Tool, or all 3 devices.

2. A computer interface can also be used in conjunction with the other operator interfaces listed above, or by itself. This requires a CommLink 5 or USB-Link 2 and a personal computer with the Prism 2 computer front end software installed.

2. Interconnected (See Figure 4, page 23 for Connection Diagram)

3. Networked Single Loop (See Figures 5-9, pages 24-28 for Connection Diagrams)

4. Networked Multiple Loop (See Figures 10-11, pages 29-30 for Connection Diagrams)

5. Computer, CommLink 5, IP Module, USB-Link 2 (See Figures 54-58, pages 76-80 for Connection Diagrams)

System Type Definitions

Stand Alone

This system consists of a single VCM-X E-BUS Controller. Programming and status monitoring are accomplished by one or more of the following methods.

1. By using an operator interface. This can be a Modular System Manager, a System Manager TS II, a Modular Service Tool, or all 3 devices.

2. A computer interface can also be used in conjunction with the other operator interfaces listed above, or by itself. This requires a CommLink 5 or USB-Link 2 and a personal computer with the Prism 2 computer front end software installed.

Networked Single Loop

The Networked Single Loop system, as its name implies, consists of a single communications loop. This loop utilizes a network device to share information that is broadcast from one controller to all controllers on the loop. The system can consist of the following devices.

1. A series of VCM-X E-BUS Controllers that utilizes a network device to share information that is broadcast from one controller to all controllers on the loop.

2. A single VCM-X E-BUS Controller and a series of VAV/ Zone Controllers. These VAV/Zone Controllers can either be of the Modular type or Non-modular type. The Modular type use Power/Comm Boards and prefabricated cables and the Non-Modular type utilize terminals and 2 conductor twisted pair with shield wire. A network device is used to share information which is broadcast back and forth between all controllers on the loop.

These systems require a network device in the form of either a CommLink 5 communications interface or a MiniLink Polling Device. Both network devices may also be used together. Programming and status monitoring are accomplished by the following methods:

1. By using an operator interface. This can be a Modular System Manager, a System Manager TS II, a Modular Service Tool, or all 3 devices.

2. A computer interface can also be used in conjunction with the other operator interfaces listed above, or by itself. This requires a CommLink 5 or USB-Link 2 and a personal computer with the Prism 2 computer front end software installed.

6

When using the MiniLink Polling Device alone, only the System Manager, System Manager TS II, and Modular Service Tool can be used to program and monitor the system. With the addition of the CommLink 5, the Prism 2 computer front end software and a PC can be used to program and monitor the system in addition to the Modular Service Tool, Modular System Manager, and the System Manager TS II.

VCM-X Component & System Wiring

Systems Overview

Communication Devices

Networked Multiple Loop

The Networked Multiple Loop System consists of two or more loops, each being called a “Local Loop”, with one “Network Loop” that ties the “Local Loops” together. Each of these loops can consist of one of the following groups of controllers:

1. A series of VCM-X E-BUS Controllers.

2. A single VCM-X E-BUS Controller and a series of VAV/ Zone Controllers. These VAV/Zone Controllers can either be of the Modular type or Non-modular type. The Modular type use Power/Comm Boards and prefabricated cables and the Non-Modular type utilize terminals and 2 conductor twisted pair with shield wire. A network device is used to share information which is broadcast back and forth between all controllers on the loop.

To form the Networked Multiple Loop System, the following network devices are required:

1. A MiniLink Polling Device is required per loop (Local Loop). This allows the controllers to share information that is broadcast from one controller to all controllers on that local loop.

2. One CommLink 5 is required for the entire system. It resides on the Network Loop and allows for communications between all the local loops and provides for global broadcasts to all controllers on the entire system.

Programming and status monitoring are accomplished by one or more of the following methods:

1. By using an operator interface. This can be a Modular System Manager, a System Manager TS II, a Modular Service Tool, or all 3 devices. The Modular System Manager, System Manager TS II, or Modular Service Tool connect to any “Local Loop” on the system.

2. A computer interface can also be used in conjunction with the other operator interfaces listed above, or by itself. This requires a personal computer with the Prism II computer front end software installed connected to the CommLink 5.

Network Communications Devices

MiniLink Polling Device

The MiniLink Polling device is used in the following applications:

1. This device is required on all Zoning applications. It is optional on single loop VAV systems.

2. This device is required on each local loop of all Networked Multiple Loop systems.

3.

This device is responsible for local loop broadcasts only.

It always resides on the local loop.

For a Networked Single Loop VCM-X E-BUS system, this device can be used for tenant logging and alarm reporting to a Modular System Manager or System Manager TS II. It can be used to broadcast information such as outside air temperature or outside air humidity to all devices on the local loop. It can also be used to broadcast space temperature from a GPC-X or GPC-XP Controller to any controllers on this loop that do not have their own Space Temperature Sensor.

For a Networked Single Loop VAV system, the MiniLink Polling Device can be used for tenant logging and alarm reporting to a Modular System Manager or System Manager TS II. It must be used to broadcast information such as, internal schedule, supply air temperature, fan and heat status, unoccupied calls for heating and cooling from the VAV/Zone Controllers, and forced modes of operation.

For a Networked Single Loop Zoning system, this device must be used for zone voting, because it calculates the heating and cooling totals on the loop and broadcasts cooling, venting, and heating modes to the VCM-X E-BUS Controller. It can also be used for tenant logging and alarm reporting to the Modular System Manager or System Manager TS II.

CommLink 5

The CommLink 5 device is used in the following applications.

1. A CommLink 5 is required on all Networked Multiple Loop Systems.

2. A CommLink 5 is optional on all Networked Single Loop Systems.

3. A CommLink 5 is required on any system when a permanent computer interface is desired. The USB-Link 2 can be used for temporary computer connection for setting up or servicing the system, but does not have the complete functionality that the CommLink 5 provides.

The CommLink 5 is responsible for local loop broadcasts on a Networked Single Loop system, and on this type of system, the Loop switch on the back of the CommLink must be set to “Single.” This device is responsible for network broadcasts on Networked Multiple Loop systems. On this type of system, the Loop switch on the back of the CommLink must be set to “Multiple.”

For a Networked Single Loop VCM-X E-BUS system, this device can be used for tenant logging and alarm reporting to a Modular System Manager or System Manager TS II. It can also be used to broadcast information like outside air temperature or outside air humidity to all local loops on the entire networked system. It may also be used to broadcast space temperature from a GPC-X or GPC-XP Controller to any controllers on the local loop that do not contain their own Space Temperature Sensor.

On a Networked Single Loop VAV/Zone system, the CommLink 5 can be used to broadcast information such as internal schedule, supply air temperature, fan and heat status, unoccupied calls for heating and cooling, and forced modes of operation to and from the VAV/Zone Controllers.

System Installation

Wiring Considerations

Before beginning installation, please study the wiring diagrams for the controllers you are using with your particular application. These diagrams appear in this manual and can also be found in the technical guides supplied with your speciﬁ c controllers. Wire and transformer sizing instructions and examples are found in Figures 1 & 2, pages 9-10 of this manual.

The Modular VAV/Zone Controllers are equipped with modular connections. Non-Modular VAV/Zone Controllers have wiring terminals instead of modular connectors. The VCM-X E-BUS Controller is supplied with modular connectors. The Power/Comm board is supplied with both terminals and a modular connector on the input side. All of its outputs use modular connectors. The Minlink Polling Device is equipped with both modular and wiring terminal blocks. W e recommend (when possible) using modular cables instead of hard wiring to wire terminal blocks to save installation time and eliminate wiring errors. In some cases, however, hard wiring is unavoidable. The table below lists the various Orion devices/controllers and their available termination type(s) for communications and power wiring.

Power/Comm Board Requirements

Standard Connection Conﬁ gurations and Use

Power/Comm boards are typically used on Networked, Single, and Multiple Loop systems to transfer 24 VAC power and “Local Loop” communications to Modular VAV/Zone Controllers, Modular System Managers, or other Power/Comm boards.

The Power/Comm board must always be powered by its own dedicated 24 VAC transformer connected to its 2-wire, 24 VAC input terminals (TB1).

Local Loop communications can be transferred to the Power/Comm Board via a modular cable connected to its “Comm In” modular connector input terminal (P2). This modular cable connection can originate from the “Local Loop” modular connector of the MiniLink PD for this loop, another Power/Comm board output on the same loop, or a Modular VAV/Zone Controller or Modular System Manager output on the same loop. A Power/Comm board can also be connected if desired to the “Local Loop” by hard wiring a 2-wire shielded cable connected between its 3-wire communications input terminal (TB1) and a Power/Comm board, or the MiniLink PD “Local Loop”, 3-wire communications terminal.

For detailed wiring diagrams, see the Power/Comm board wiring diagrams in the “Communication Devices Diagrams” section of this manual. For Power/Comm board transformer sizing, see Figures 1 & 2, pages 9-10 of this manual.

Alternative Connection Conﬁ guration and Use

If desired, the Power/Comm board can also be used to transfer both 24 VAC power and “Network Loop” communications to multiple MiniLink PDs. Connection between the MiniLink PD(s) and Power/ Comm board(s) is accomplished by using modular cables between the Power/Comm board’s modular output connectors and the MiniLink PD(s)’s “Network Loop” modular input connectors. When a Power/Comm board is used to connect power and communications to MiniLink PDs in this manner, that particular Power/Comm board cannot also be used to share communications and/or power with Modular VAV/Zone Controllers or Modular System Manager(s).

Warning: Do not ground the 24 VAC transformer that is to be used with the Power/Comm board. Grounding of the transformer will damage the Power/Comm board and all boards connected to it. A separate transformer must be used for each Power/Comm board. No exceptions. Do not connect any other devices to the transformer used for the Power/Comm board!

For detailed wiring diagrams, see the Power/Comm board wiring diagrams in the “Communication Devices Diagrams” section of this manual.

For Power/Comm board transformer sizing, see Figures 1 & 2, pages 9-10 of this manual.

24 VAC Power - Transformer & Wire Sizing Considerations for Devices Without Modular Connectors

Component Power Requirements

Distance A to B cannot exceed 57.80 Ft.

Distance from A to B cannot exceed 115.60 Ft. Distance from A to C cannot exceed 115.60 Ft.

120 / 24VAC

Some installers like to use one large 24 VAC transformer to power several devices. This is allowable as long as polarity is maintained to each device on the transformer circuit.

Using separate transformers also allows redundancy in case of a transformer failure. Instead of having 8 controllers inoperative because of a malfunctioning transformer you have only 1 controller off line. If the installer does decide to use a large transformer to supply power to several devices, the following transformer and wire sizing information is presented to help the installer correctly supply 24 VAC power to the devices.

Following is a typical example to help the installer to correctly evaluate transformer and wiring designs.

Each GPC-XP Controller requires 8 VA @ 24VAC power. In the examples below we have a total of 8 GPC-XP Controllers.

8 GPC-XP Controllers @ 8 VA each................ 8 x 8 VA = 64 VA.

The above calculation determines that our transformer will need to be sized for a minimum of 64 VA if we are to use one transformer to power all the controllers.

Next we must determine the maximum length of run allowable for the wire gauge we wish to use in the installation. Each wire gauge below has a voltage drop per foot value we use to calculate total voltage drop.

18ga wire.................................0.00054 = voltage drop per 1’ length of wire

16ga wire.................................0.00034 = voltage drop per 1’ length of wire

14ga wire.................................0.00021 = voltage drop per 1’ length of wire

For our example we will use 18 gauge wire. WattMaster recommends 18 gauge as a minimum wire size for all power wiring.

Next use the voltage drop per foot value for 18 gauge wire from the list above and multiply by the total VA load of the 8 controllers to be installed.

0.00054 (Voltage drop per foot for 18 gauge wire) x 64VA controller load = Volts/Ft.

WattMaster controllers will operate efficiently with a voltage drop no greater than 2 Volts. Divide the total allowable voltage drop of 2 Volts by the number you arrived at above and you have the maximum number of feet you can run the 18 gauge wire with an 75 VA transformer with no more than a 2 Volt drop at the farthest controller from the transformer..

2 (Volts total allowable voltage drop)

= 57.80

0.0346 (Voltage drop per 1 ft. @ 64VA load)

Parallel circuiting of the wiring instead of wiring all 8 controllers in series allows for longer wire runs to be used with the same size wire (as shown in our examples below).

Warning: If polarity is not maintained, severe damage to the devices may result. WattMaster Controls recommends

using a separate transformer for each device in order to eliminate the potential for damaging controllers due to incorrect polarity.

0.0346

feet

It is often necessary for the installer to calculate and weigh the cost and installation advantages and disadvantages of wire size, transformer size, multiple transformers, circuiting, etc., when laying out an installation. No matter what layout scheme is decided upon, it is mandatory that the farthest controller on the circuit is supplied with a minimum of 22 Volts.

24VAC Power - Transformer & Cabling Considerations for Devices With Modular Connectors

Modular devices include the VAV/Zone Controller, Modular System Manager & MiniLink Polling Device. When sizing transformers for the devices it is important to design your layout so that the fewest number of Power/Comm distribution boards and the least number of transformers can be used. The polarity problem discussed in regards to other devices that do not have modular connections is not an issue with the modular devices as they cannot be connected with reversed polarity because of the modular board connectors and cable. Also the prefabricated cable is always 16 gauge. Wire size selection is therefore not an issue with the modular devices. However, the same minimum voltage rules apply to modular devices as with other non-modular devices. In order to simplify wiring design and layout with modular devices the following rules apply:

Power/Comm Board maximum transformer size = 100VA. This is due to the board circuitry and fusing. Each modular device is to be calculated at 6VA. This allows for a maximum of 16 devices per Power/Commboard. If more than 16 devices are required, multiple Power/Comm boards must be used.

No more than 6 modular devices allowed per branch circuit. (The Power/Comm board has a total of 4 branch circuits)

The longest total run per branch circuit is 240 Ft. This is due to voltage drop on the prefabricated cable.

Below are some examples of transformer sizing and branch circuit design.

MiniLink Polling Device (MiniLink PD)

Standard Connection Conﬁ gurations and Use

The MiniLink PD is used on Networked Single and Multiple Loop systems to provide two-way communication between all devices on it’s “Local Loop” and to all the other “Network Loop” devices on the entire system. The MiniLink PD is equipped with both modular connectors and hard wiring terminal blocks for connection of 24 VAC power “Local Loop” and “Network Loop” communications.

Each MiniLink PD is normally hard wired to a 24 VAC power source connected to its 24 VAC input terminal (TB1). “Network Loop” communications are transferred between multiple MiniLink PDs by modular cables connected to their “Network Loop” modular connectors (P3 and P5). A CommLink 5 must be connected to one of the MiniLink PDs on the system by using a 2-wire shielded cable connected between its 3-wire “Network Loop” communications terminal block (TB4) and to the CommLink’s “485 Loop” terminal block. Transfer of “Local Loop” communication from the MiniLink PD to a Power/Comm board is made by using a modular cable connected between the MiniLink PD “Local Loop” modular connector (P4) and the Power/Comm board modular “Comm In” connector (P2). If desired as an alternative, transfer of “Local Loop” communication from the MiniLink PD to a Power/Comm board can be made by hard wiring a 2-wire shielded cable connected between the MiniLink PD’s 3-wire communications terminal (TB1) and the 3-wire communications input (TB1) on the Power/Comm board.

Installation Procedures

The installation procedures that follow are based on recommended methods of wiring connection and controller installation. Installation procedures vary depending on the type of system you are installing. The system you are installing could be a Stand Alone, Interconnected, Networked Single Loop, or Networked Multiple Loop system.

VCM-X E-BUS Controller’s 3 wire communications connector to the MiniLink PD’s 3 wire communications connector marked “Local Loop”. Use 18 gauge minimum wire for power and observe polarity on all boards.

3. Using a modular cable, connect from the MiniLink PD’S

modular connector marked “Local Loop” to the Power/ Comm board’s modular input connector.

4. Using modular cables, connect from the Power/Comm

board’s modular output connectors to the VAV/Zone Controllers. The V AV/Zone Controllers connect together using modular cables from each VAV/Zone Controller to the next controller and/or to a Power/Comm board. A maximum of 16 VAV/Zone Controllers are allowed per Power/Comm board. If you have more than 16 VAV/ Zone Controllers, you will need multiple Power/Comm boards. Each Power/Comm board must have its own 24 VAC transformer sized for the total number of VAV/ Zone Controllers connected to it.

5. Repeat the above steps for each local loop containing VCM-X E-BUS Controllers with VAV/Zone Controllers.

6. The Modular System Manager can connect to any VAV/Zone Controller on the entire system or directly to one of the Power/Comm board’s modular output connectors using modular cable. The Modular Service Tool will connect to any of the controllers using the supplied cable with DIN connectors on both ends. The connection point on the controllers is located near the communications connector. The Communications setting must be set to Lo Speed Network Mode.

7. The System Manager TS II utilizes a 3 wire communication terminal block for connection to any controller on the communications local loop that has communication wire terminals. Since you are using Modular VAV/Zone Controllers, you can use a modular pigtail connector that has a modular connector on one end and stripped wires on the other to connect the System Manager TS II to the Power/Comm board or one of the Modular VAV/Zone Controllers. A separate transformer is required for the System Manager TS II. It has a 2 wire 24 VAC terminal block for connection to a 24 VAC transformer. The transformer should be sized to provide 6 VA minimum power and should be connected using 18 gauge minimum wire.

8. The Modular Service Tool SD will connect to any of the controllers using the supplied cable with DIN connectors on both ends. The connection point on the controller is located near the communications connector. The Communications setting must be set to Lo Speed Network Mode.

9. Using 2 conductor shielded cable, connect from the CommLink 5’s 3 wire communications connector to one of the MiniLink PD’s 3 wire communications connector marked “Network Loop”. The Loop switch on the back of the CommLink 5 must be set to “Multiple”. The CommLink 5 only needs to be connected to one of the MiniLink PDs on the system.

10. Using a modular cable, connect from each MiniLink PD’s modular connector marked “Network Loop” to the next MiniLink PD’s “Network Loop” modular input connector using modular cable. Connect all the remaining MiniLink PD’s in the same manner using a daisy chain format.

11. Before powering up the controllers, set each VAV/ Zone Controller’s board address to a unique number from 1 through 58. Address the VCM-X E-BUS Controller at 59. Set MiniLink PD’s address from 1 to

60.

Note: Both power and communications are transferred from the Power/Comm board to the VAV/Zone Controllers and the Modular System Manager.

Warning: Each Power/Comm board must have its own 24 VAC transformer for its power source. This transformer cannot be shared with any other board. Do not ground the transformer that is con nected to the Power/Comm board. The transform er should be sized for the required VA by using the information found on pages 9-10 of this manual.

Local Loops containing VCM-X E-BUS Controllers with Non-Modular VAV/Zone Controllers

1. Using 18 gauge minimum, 2 wire cable for power, install a 24 VAC, 8 VA minimum, transformer for the VCM-X E-BUS Controller and wire from the transformer to the VCM-X E-BUS Controller.

2. Using 2 conductor shielded cable, connect from the VCM-X E-BUS Controller’s 3 wire communications connector to the MiniLink PD’s 3 wire communications connector marked “Local Loop”. Use 18 gauge minimum wire for power and observe polarity on all boards.

3. Using 2 conductor shielded cable, connect from the VCM-X E-BUS Controller’s 3 wire communications connector to the VAV/Zone Controllers. The VAV/Zone Controllers connect together using modular cables from each VAV/Zone Controller to the next controller and/or to a Power/Comm Board. A maximum of 16 VAV/Zone controllers are allowed per Power/Comm board. If you have more than 16 VAV/Zone controllers, you will need multiple Power/Comm boards. Each Power/Comm board must have its own 24 VAC transformer sized for the total number of VAV/Zone controllers connected to it.

4. Repeat the above steps for each local loop containing VCM-X E-BUS Controllers with VAV/Zone Controllers.

5. The Modular System Manager can connect to any VAV/Zone Controller on the entire system or directly to one of the Power/Comm board’s modular output connectors using modular cable. The Modular Service Tool will connect to any of the controllers using the supplied cable with DIN connectors on both ends. The connection point on the controllers is located near the communications connector. The Communications setting must be set to Lo Speed Network Mode.

6. The System Manager TS II utilizes a 3 wire communication terminal block for connection to any controller on the communications local loop that has communication wire terminals. A separate transformer is required for the System Manager TS II. It has a 2 wire 24 VAC terminal block for connection to a 24 VAC transformer. The transformer should be sized to provide

6 VA minimum power and should be connected using 18 gauge minimum wire. In the Settings Menu, enter for the System Manager Address.

7. The Modular Service Tool SD will connect to any of the controllers using the supplied cable with DIN connectors on both ends. The connection point on the controller is located near the communications connector. The Communications setting must be set to Lo Speed Network Mode.

8. Using 2 conductor shielded cable, connect from the CommLink 5’s 3 wire communications connector to one of the MiniLink PD’s 3 wire communications connector marked “Network Loop”. The Loop switch on the back of the CommLink 5 must be set to “Multiple”. The CommLink only needs to be connected to one of the MiniLink PDs on the system.

9. Using a modular cable, connect from each MiniLink PD’s modular connector marked “Network Loop” to the next MiniLink PD’s “Network Loop” modular input connector using modular cable. Connect all the remaining MiniLink PD’s in the same manner using a daisy chain format.

10. Before powering up the controllers, set each VAV/ Zone Controller’s board address to a unique number from 1 through 58. Address the VCM-X E-BUS Controller at 59. Set MiniLink PD’s address from 1 to

60.

<63>

4. Only one MiniLink PD on the system should connect to the CommLink. Install a separate 24 VAC, 8 VA minimum, transformer for each MiniLink PD and wire to transformer using 18 gauge minimum, 2 wire cable for power. Observe polarity on all boards. Each MiniLink PD’s address switch should be set with a unique address between 1 and 60.

5. Using a modular cable, connect from the each MiniLink PD’s modular connector marked “Network Loop” to the next MiniLink PD’s “Network Loop” modular input connector using modular cable. Connect all the remaining MiniLink PD’s in the same manner using a daisy chain format.

6. The Modular Service Tool will connect to any of the controllers using the supplied cable with DIN connectors on both ends. The connection point on the controllers is located near the communications connector. The Communications setting must be set to Lo Speed Network Mode.
