NOTE: Minimum 18 A WG , 105°C, stranded wire must be used for all low voltage (less than
30 volts) external connections to the unit. Solid conductors should not be used because they
can cause excessive tension on contact points. Install conduit as appropriate. All high voltage
wires must be the same size (105°C, stranded wire) as the ones on the unit or larger.

2.0Metasys Slave Port Functionality
2.1N2 Slave Communications
The Comminications Interface card supports the Johnson Controls Metasys™ N2 Protocol, as a slave, on
port 1. This capability allows the module to communicate data from the Raypak B6000 Boiler Control to
a Johnson Controls Metasys Master such as the Johnson Controls Companion™ or Metasys software.
The following discusses the functional capabilities of the card.
2.1.1Command/Reply Cycle
Successful communications between a Slave and a Master will always consist of the following two
transactions:
Command:Message from master giving instruction to slave.
Reply:Response to command.
A slave station will respond to a master issued command in several ways.
Data Message:If the command was executed by the Slave, the response message will include the
data requested, or an acknowledgment that the command was executed.
Error Message:If the command could not be executed by the Slave, for whatever reason, an error
response message is transmitted to the master. The error response message contains an error code
indicating the cause of the error.
No Reply:If the master does not detect a reply within its time-out period, the master should retransmit the
command, before a time out error is issued. If the Slave could not decode the message or an error
occurred preventing the Slave from recognizing the message, no response will be issued.
2.1.2N2 System Protocol Commands
The T-2 supports the commands and the data types necessary to enable control of the B6000 Controller
from an N2 master. The data types and the commands, as well as the associated addressable points are
overviewed below.
Data Types The N2 System protocol treats data as objects, with each data type having a different
structure and purpose. The data types recognized by the T-2 card are as follows:
·Binary Input(BI)
·Binary Output(BO)
·Analog Input(AI)
·Analog Output(AO)
Reading Attributes
The data objects contain attributes which describe several data points,
and some of its functionality. The contents of these attributes, including
object configuration, status, current value, and alarm/warning limits, can
be accessed with the following commands:
1/1Read Analog Input Attributes
1/2Read Binary Input Attributes
1/3Read Analog Output Attributes
1/4Read Binary Output Attributes
4
Writing Attributes
The data object attributes can be configured by a master using the
following commands:
2/1Write Analog Input Attributes
2/2Write Binary Input Attributes
2/3Write Analog Output Attributes
2/4Write Binary Output Attributes
Controlling the B6000 Controller
Access to the control functions is made available through the Override
commands. The following commands allow the B6000 to be controlled:
7/2/3 Override Analog Output
7/2/4 Override Binary Output
Status Update
The host can issue a ‘Status Update’ command to the T-2. The response will contain device information (“1500-N2 Rev 1.0A”) as well as
current status information.
0/9Status Update
Identify Device
When a master host first powers up, the ‘Identify Device’ command is
issued to all of the Slaves. In the case of the T-2 card, the Device Code
10 Hex is returned to the host. When the Gateway first powers up, it will
return and error code 0 in response to all commands from the host,
indicating to the host that a power up condition has occurred. The host
will respond with the “Identify Device’ command, telling the Communications Interface that the host has detected the power condition. The command code is:
2.1.3Command Error Checking
When the Slave cannot execute a command, an error code is generated and returned to
the Master. Error codes generated at the Slave will usually be indicative of an illegal
function, an illegal address, or bad data.
2.1.4Data Integrity
As in all good protocols, there must exist a level of data integrity checking to verify, with
some degree of assurance, the quality of the transmitted data. The N2 System protocol
supports a summation/modulus type of error checking on the address and data content of
the communication packet.
2.2N2 Point Layout
A relationship between the N2 Point Address and the B6000 parameters has been set up to ease
control and monitoring of the unit. The relationship, by data object type, is shown in detail in
Appendix A.

Hardware Setup
3. 11500 Interface Card Setup
3.1.1 Connecting Power to the T-2 Card
The T-2 Card requires an external source of DC voltage. The DC source
voltage should be between 9V and 30V. The power is connected to TB1,
located near the two 9 pin serial port connections.
The connection to TB1 is as follows:
TB1-19-30 VDC (+)
TB1-2Common (-)
3.1.2Dip Switch Configuration
The T-2 card is configured primarily through two sets of dip switches.
These switches are read initially on power up only.
The function of the dip switches is as follows (a value of one (1) is
registered when the switch is in the ON position):

The parameters are defined as follows:
Baud Rate:The baud rate at which the module is to operate.
If a value outside of this range is selected,upon firing the power
up process the card’s LEDs will flash on 1/2 second intervals
until a correct address is selected. Powering down is not necessary.
Parity: The parity mode to be used by the module is defined by this word as follows:
0 No parity
1 Odd parity
2 Even parity
Metasys N2 Slave Address: Each of the separate drops off of a Johnson Controls Metasys Host must
have a different Slave address. The Slave address is selected by encoding the Slave address in a binary
form using thedip switches.
3.1.31500 Jumper Configurations
The 1500 Interface card has five sets of jumpers on the board. Generally, the default jumper positions will
be adequate for most applications, with JP4 and JP5 being the only jumpers that should ever need to be reviewed. For
completeness, we provide the following discussion on all of the jumper locations:
