Legal notes

Legal note concept

This guide includes notes that must be followed to prevent damage to property.

Notes dealing only with damage to property use the signal word NOTICE and an exclamation point. They are depicted as follows:

NOTICE

Type and source of hazard

Consequences in the event the hazard occurs

Measures/prohibitions to prevent the hazard

Qualified personnel

Only qualified personnel may commission the device/system. In this regard, qualified personnel have the training and experience necessary to recognize and avoid risks when working with this device/system.

Proper use

The device/system described here may only be used on building technical plants and for the described applications only.

The trouble-free and safe operation of the device/system described here requires proper transportation, correct warehousing, mounting, installation, commissioning, operation, and maintenance.

You must comply with permissible ambient conditions. You must comply with the information provided in the Technical Requirements Section and any notes in the associated documentation.

Fuses, switches, wiring and grounding must comply with local safety regulations for electrical installations. Observe all local and currently valid laws and regulations.

Exemption from liability

The content of this document was reviewed to ensure it matches the hardware and firmware described herein. Deviations cannot be precluded, however, so that we cannot guarantee that the document matches in full the actual device/system. The information provided in this document is reviewed on a regular basis and any required corrections are added to the next edition.

Engineering Guide

Overview

Engineering Guide

Overview

This document is intended for Installers and Technicians for the Climatix RT solution.

The instructions in this document will cover how to startup a Climatix RT controller and connect the controller to Climatix IC.

This connection may reside within a corporate IT network on site.

Before you start

Before you begin the commissioning process, clarify the corporate IT network configuration on site. For example:

Would the controller be connected on the IT network? Is it a physical isolated network zone, or part of the corporate network zone (Climatix IC and Internet on the same network)?

●Verify that the guidelines for the IP address scheme of network devices can be DHCP

●Verify the controller can directly access the Internet from the corporate IT network on site (without a proxy server)

Climatix RTU Controller

Key benefits

Climatix RTU Controller

The Climatix RT Rooftop Unit Controller is designed for use in rooftop applications (up to 20 tons) and provides a broad range of control and monitoring functions through Climatix IC. The number and type of I/Os on the controller are optimized for this application type.

For a detailed description on the sequence of operation, see RTU Retrofit Sequence of Operation (A6V12053413).

Key benefits

The Climatix RT controller uses a pre-defined application that is configurable for many types of Rooftop Units. Several defined inputs/outputs (analog or digital) plus configurable I/O for multi-use using the easy-to-use Climatix mobile application make it possible to control several manufactured Rooftop Units.

Topology

Fig. 1: Topology.

Inputs and Outputs

There are 21 physical inputs/outputs per controller. These I/O are configured with the Climatix Mobile application and the Siemens Wi-Fi stick.

Communications

The Climatix RT controller has an Ethernet port for Modbus/IP, BACnet/IP, OPC, and Climatix IC. There is an SD card interface for applications, firmware update, and archiving.

In addition, there is a RS-485 (galvanically separated) interface for Modbus RTU and BACnet MS/TP and a process bus for networking of Siemens devices.

Climatix Mobile application

Key benefits

Climatix Mobile application

The Climatix Mobile application is a native iOS or Android application used to configure the Climatix RT controller for each specific use. This easy-to-use application will walk the installer through a short series of steps to ensure that the corresponding sensors, actuators, thermostats and VFD are terminated properly, with the correct type of signal.

Key benefits

Climatix Mobile will guide the installer through an intuitive user experience that navigates the inputs, outputs and setpoints for each Climatix RT.

●Secure connection via point-to-point wi-fi stick and user credentials

●Configuration wizard that steps through each part of the system

●Pre-loaded inputs and outputs ensure the correct termination and signal type

●Automatic discovery of activation key

●Easy-to-read printout of controller configuration

Startup

The Mobile application needs to start with location services enabled to determine your Climate Zone location.

1. Insert the Siemens Wi-Fi stick:

Fig. 4: Insert the Siemens Wi-Fi stick

2. Connect to SSID (pw: SIBPAdmin)

3.You can either load from favorites or configure a new setup.

4.Select your application type: Standard Conventional or Heat Pump.

Be aware of the option for additional settings such as calibration offsets or minimum and maximum values for points. This displays in the upper right corner, if available.

Zone Monitoring

There are several options for your Zone temperature, humidity and IAQ readings:

●Siemens Room Units – The Room Units are a combination of Temperature, Humidity and CO2 monitoring, with or without a display.

Fan Configuration

You can choose either a traditional stage blower fan or integrate the Climatix VFD for variable speed fan control.

12 | 49

Climatix Mobile application

Cooling

If you are using a non-Siemens Climatix RT drive, configure the I/O for Speed Output, Start/Stop and optional feedback

Cooling

There are three compressors pre-assigned for cooling stages. Configuration of Stage Delay; Minimum On Time, Minimum Off Time; and Economizer Delay are located in the settings bar.

13 | 49

Climatix Mobile application

Heating

You can also delete up to two compressors if they are unused. Swipe left to remove unused compressors. This will free up the IO for additional use such as safeties.

Heating

There are two pre-assigned Heating stages. Configuration of the Heating Stage delay is located in the settings bar.

You can also delete a heating stage if it is unused. Swipe left to remove unused heating stages. This will free up the IO for additional use such as safeties.

Configuration

In this section additional Sensors, the Economizer, Damper and Demand Control Ventilation are all pre-assigned.

Configuration

Sensors

Mixed Air Temperature, Discharge Air Temperature, Outside Air Temperature and Outside Humidity are all preassigned and configured according to the RTU product bundle that was purchased. If you would like to replace the sensor that was provided, the sensor type is configurable and includes: 1K Ni, 10K NTC, 4 to 20 mA and 0 to 10V.

Sensor calibration is located in the settings bar.
