Installation

See installation sheet no. 70-000599 (www.vectorcontrols.com).

Selection of actuators and sensors

Temperature sensors: Use Vector Controls NTC sensors to achieve maximum accuracy: SDB-Tn10-20 (duct), SRA-Tn10

(room), SDB-Tn10-20 + AMI-S10 as immersion sensor.

Actuators: Choose modulating actuators with an input signal type of 0-10 V DC or 4-20 mA (Min. and max. signal limitations may be set with parameters. 3-point point actuators with constant running time are recommended.

Binary auxiliary devices (e.g. pumps, fans, on/off valves, humidifiers, etc.): Do not directly connect devices that exceed specified limits in technical specifications – observe startup current on inductive loads.

Electrical connections

Use only twisted pair copper conductors for input connections. The operating voltage must comply with the requirements for safety extra-low voltage (SELV) as per EN 60 730.

Use safety insulating transformers with double insulation. They must be designed for 100% ON-time. When using several transformers in one system the connection terminal 1 must be galvanically connected. The TCX2 is designed for operation by AC 24 V, max. 10 Amp, safety extra-low voltage that is short-circuit-proof. Supplying voltages above AC 24 V may damage or destroy the controller or any other connected devices.

Additionally, connections to voltages exceeding 42 V endanger personnel safety. Observe limits mentioned in the technical specifications. Local regulations must be observed at all times.

Bus connection

Wire type

An EIA-485 network shall use shielded, twisted-pair cable for data signaling with characteristic impedance between 100 and 130 ohms. Distributed capacitance between conductors shall be less than 100 pF per meter (30 pF per foot). Distributed capacitance between conductors and shield shall be less than 200 pF per meter (60 pF per foot). Foil or braided shields are acceptable.

Line termination

On last node on either end of bus only connect 120Ω termination resistor between (+) and (-).

Maximum length

The maximum recommended length per segment is 1200 meters (4000 feet) with AWG 18 (0.82 mm2 conductor area) cable.

Shield connection

See Ashrae Standard 135 for detailed recommendation regarding how to connect the shield depending on type of nodes present in network. Vector Controls bus modules are isolated devices.

Communication wiring

slave node

Power GND ≠ Modbus Common!

LED indicators

A status LED is located on the upper left side of the controller housing. During normal operation the LED blinks briefly once every 5 seconds. If there is an alarm or fault condition it will blink every second.

The Modbus slave features a green LED and a red LED for indication of traffic on the RS-485 bus. The green LED is lit when an incoming packet is received, and the red LED is lit when an outgoing packet is transmitted to the bus. At powerup, both LED blink twice simultaneously as a sign of the boot process being completed. A constantly lit LED serves as an indication of a fault condition in the reception or sending process.

Idle display

The idle display is activated when no key has been pressed for 30 seconds. The contents of the idle display are selectable through parameters UP08 to UP14. Setting UP08 to OFF will disable idle display. Last active control loop or manual output will remain displayed.

Display of control loop

Active when changing set points. Large digits show input value. Small digits show set point. Horizontal bars top left show which loop is being displayed.

Override of secondary set point in cascade control

If cascade control is active (with VAV for example) the user can override the primary loop and manually select the set point of the secondary loop (the loop is then changed to constant air volume mode). This function is helpful for tuning the VAV system. This feature may be disabled by setting UP02 to OFF. While the secondary loop is displayed change the set point with UP/DOWN. The hand symbol appears. Change setpoint again to cancel cascade override. The hand symbol disappears.

Delay on enable function

During a pending delay the hand symbol will be shown. For example the condition to activate the controller with 1FU is met, but a startup delay is specified. The controller will remain switched off and show the hand symbol until the delay expired.

Setting parameters to configure the controller

TCX2 is a programmable controller with the flexibility to fit a wide range of applications. The control operation is defined by parameters. They can be set using the standard operation terminal. There are two levels:

1. User/display parameters (default password 0009)

2. Control parameters (default password 0241)

Recommended set-up procedure:

1. Set jumpers on the back of the controller for inputs and outputs

2. Connect power supply and inputs

3. Make sure Celsius – Fahrenheit settings are correct (UP07)

4. Program input parameters

5. Program control parameters

6. Program output parameters

7. Program auxiliary functions and user settings

8. Test function of unit

9. Switch off power

10. Connect outputs

11. Reconnect power

12. Test control loop

Parameters are grouped according to modules:

How to change parameters

SETUP AND CONFIGURATION

Copying and restoring the entire parameter set

It is possible to backup and refresh the entire parameter set to a second onboard memory (default memory) or a plug-in memory. This simplifies substantially the programming of multiple controllers with identical parameter sets.

Removable plug-in memory AEC-PM1

The plug-in memory is an accessory that can be plugged in on the right side of the TCX2. Once connected, the power LED on the AEC-PM1 lights up. The memory can hold up to 4 individual parameter sets. It is easy for a site engineer to update a variety of standard installations or for an OEM to program his standard setup based on application.

Auto-load

While copying a parameter set to eeprom, the user may choose the auto-load feature. With this feature set, the parameters load automatically when powering up the controller. It is thus possible for a non-technical person to perform a parameter update by simply powering up the controller with the AEC-PM1 plugged in.

Procedure to copy parameter sets

1. Login to engineering parameters as described above.

2. Press UP or DOWN until COPY is selected

3. Press the OPTION key. Select copy source: These are the options:

4. Press OPTION key. Now select copy destination: These are the options:

5. Press OPTION key. Your selection is shown on the large digits: source ID to target ID. For example run time

6. Press the OPTION key to conclude the selection. The Data LED on the AEC-PM1 plug-in blinks to indicate data

Exchanging parameter sets with a computer

Through a USB/RS485 converter it is possible to read and write parameter sets to a computer by the use a free program called EasySet. The EasySet tool may be downloaded from the vectorcontrols.com website. To exchange parameter sets, install the EasySetTM configurator program and plug in the USB/RS485 converter to your computer. Connect the RS485 converter to the OP3 (+) and OP4 (-) terminal of the TCX2 using a twisted pair wire. If an OPA2-VC is connected, you must first unplug it. In order to use EasySet, select the port of your USB converter first. Parameter sets may now be read out from the TCX2 to the PC and written back to the TCX2. This makes it possible to keep a parameter library on computer, exchange parameter sets through emails or keep a log file of all the projects completed.

By selecting AUTO: The parameters will load automatically when the controller is powered up while the AEC-PM1 is plugged in. If one plug-in has several parameter folders with the AUTO flag set the one with the smallest index will be loaded.

New Feature for products with a communication plug-in. Selecting CO15 = 01 will write back an increased address to the AEC-PM1 after a successful copy. This way it is easier to configure large projects.

 Good: The copy process was successful  Fail: Err5, Communication problem. The plug in module is either damaged or missing  Fail: Err6, Checksum mismatch. The checksum of the source data was incorrect. Data corruption.

This may happen if the plug-in has not been written to before or data corruption took place.

Input & alarm/interlock configuration

Universal inputs (analog, binary or passive)

 Set jumpers on the back of the controller: 0–10VDC (default), 0–20mA, or RT/DI (passive temperature or binary)  Match sensor range to input display. With a differential pressure transmitter having 0–200 Pa measuring range set

01U1 display minimum to 0 and 01U2 display maximum to 200. The allowable range value of -50–205 may be adjusted with multipliers in 01U3. The largest displayable values are -990–9999.

 Passive temperature input is NTC 10k@25°C (77°F). Specified accuracy can only be guaranteed using Vector Controls

Sxx-Tn10 sensors. Range values described above also apply to temperature inputs.

 Display resolution (01u1 and 01u2)

Limiting the display range increases set point resolution. A range <25 provides set point steps of 0.1°C (0.2°F). A range <125 provides set point steps of 0.5°C (0.1°F). Larger ranges increase by 1 step. Square root input range (0xu3) has no influence. Note: Fahrenheit and differential steps are doubled.

 New Feature: open contact as input type (01u0 = 4 or 5): For an open contact input set the jumper to RT/DI

and parameter 01u0 to open contact (4 or 5). If set to 4 (open contact direct), an open contact reads as a high value (100%), a closed contact as a low value (0%). If set to 5 (open contact reversed), an open contact reads as low value (0%) and a closed contact as high value (100%). Note: sensor calibration does not work for binary inputs.

 New Feature: potentiometer input (01u0 = 6). A potentiometer may be connected to a passive input to control

the setpoint of a control loop. With the input display minimum and maximum values the range of the potentiometer can be defined in 100 ohms steps. For example setting the 1u01 to 50 and 1u02 to 120 represents a potentiometer from 5k to 12k Ohm. The resistance is measured and calculated into a 0-100% value. Based on the potentiometer input, the setpoint will now be moved between the upper and lower setpoint limits of the control loop. There are other uses for the potentiometer input. For example, the controller can be enabled and disabled remotely with a potentiometer using an input in potentiometer mode assigned to the Auxiliary Function Enable/Disable (1FU). Or use Alarm/Interlocks assigned to the potentiometer input to activate or deactivate outputs. With the potentiometer fully on, for example, another interlock could activate a boost mode. The potentiometer could then read OFF (65°F) to Full (85°). Add one more wire connected to a 10k-2 resistor and measure the room temperature as well. Thus with 3 wires in total ( potentiometer, common, room temperature) a well-functioning low cost operation terminal may be realized.

 New Feature: light control mode: toggle and dimmer switch (01u0 = 7): Manage lighting with TCX2 and

special functions such as alarms, time schedules and automatic occupied/unoccupied mode switch can be used for occupant convenience and to reduce lighting costs. With this feature building light is controlled by using push-button switches in the room connected to passive inputs on TCX2. A passive inputs is assigned directly to an output connected to a relay for the light. This is achieved by setting xd01 to 9. An analog output is assigned directly to an input by assigning xA00 to 7. Use binary outputs for on/off lights or add an analog output for dimming. Pressing the push-button switch for less than 2 seconds will toggle the binary output. For dimming, pressing the push-button switch for longer than 2 seconds will change the input value by 10% per second from 0% to 100% and again back to 0%.

Pulse counting mode

 New Feature: pulse counting mode: (01u0 = 8): With this feature it is possible to count pulses from a water or

energy meter and summarize a constant value or the result of an input.

 For frequent pulses the summary option of u5 is recommended. This will save only every 10

100th or 1000th pulse to the eeprom and keep the values until then in RAM. This bears the risk that those values will not be remembered after a power failure.

 With u07 the value of two inputs may be used in conjunction with the Pulse Counting Input to calculate energy

consumption. For example, apply the Mathematical Function-Differential to supply and return water temperature for a heating system. The calculated value of a series of inputs is shown on the input with the higher number. When UI1 supply water temperature and UI2 return water temperature both have Mathematical Function-Differential parameter selected the difference between supply and return temperature will be shown on UI2. When the Pulse Counting input parameter u07 is set to 2, the difference between supply and return temperature is added to the total at each pulse of the flow meter. This total then represents energy consumption.

Virtual input configuration

 Virtual inputs may originate from a remote operation terminal such as the OPA2-VC or from a bus master if a

communication module such as the AEX-MOD for MODBUS or AEX-BAC for BACnet is present.

 The remote input has a selectable timeout. If the value is not updated within this timeout, the input will be disabled

and the configuration error Err4 is shown. Rewriting the input value will re-enable the input but will not clear Err4. Err4 can only be cleared by acknowledgement through the right key. Setting the timeout to 0 disables its function. For control functions, the timeout should not be disabled. While no additional setup is required on the OPA2, the bus master needs to write its value to the correct address for the input within the timeout period. Details are described in the documentation of the communication module.

 Inputs of OPA2-VC:

The OPA2-VC has one temperature input. This input is assigned to the first virtual input. For the TCX2-40863 this would be input 9. To use the temperature input of OPA2-VC, set 09u0 = 1.

 Inputs of OPA2-2TH-VC or OPU2-2TH-VC:

The OPA2-2TH-VC has a temperature input, a humidity input and 2 binary inputs. These inputs are assigned to following virtual inputs:

1. VI1 = UI9 = temperature input

2. VI2 = UI10 = humidity input

3. VI3 = UI11 = input 1

4. VI4 = UI12 = input 2

Mathematical functions on inputs

 Square root calculation on input values: The input signal maybe subjected to the square root function prior to

calculating the display values. The square root is calculated from the input signal and the result is again conditioned to 10bit resolution. The square root function is useful when airflow needs to be calculated from differential pressure, as in VAV systems for example.

 Calculate mathematical functions over multiple inputs for loop control or display with xxU7. In order to calculate

average, minimum or maximum between several inputs, make sure all the inputs are of identical type and range and then activate the same function on xxU7 on all the selected inputs. The largest input of the group selected will carry the calculated value. For example: When average is activated on 02U7 and 01U7 = 1, the average is carried on universal input 2.

UI2 may now be used as input for control loops and it will show the average value of UI1 and UI2 combined. It is possible to use different functions on different inputs. For example: minimum of UI1 and UI3 and maximum of UI2 and UI4.

 The differential function may only be calculated on subsequent inputs. Such as UI2-UI1. The function must only be

activated on the minuend (a number from which another number is subtracted) – UI2 in this example. The displayed value of the minuend will change into the difference: UI2 in – UI1 = UI2 out. It is possible to have multiple differentials on one controller. It is not possible to reverse the subtraction: UI1-UI2.

INPUT & ALARM CONFIGURATION

Priority for output control

1. Alarm level low

2. Alarm level high

3. Operation mode OFF

4. Control function

Alarm function

 Number of available alarms.

8 alarms are available. The highest priority alarm is alarm 1, the lowest one is alarm 8.

 The following alarm functions are available.

They are described in greater detail in the following pages:

o High or low limit alarm configuration o Alarm based on maximum set point deviation of control loop o Maintenance alarm based on run time counters o Feedback or output alarms o Alarms based on control loop sequence o New Feature: Timeout or cycle mode for outputs

 Operating the interlock in off mode:

To activate an interlock in OFF mode, set its AL4 value to ON. Make sure AL4 is set to OFF if the interlock should not activate an output while the controller is in OFF mode.

 Alarm automatic reset or acknowledge only (AL4).

Certain alarms should automatically reset once the condition is removed, but still keep the end user informed that the alarm condition occurred: A typical example is a frost alarm. If the temperature drops too low, the heat should come on and it should stop again once the frost protection reset temperature is reached.

If an alarm indicates a failure of system equipment that would endanger the operation of a device, the alarm should not automatically reset. For example, when a fan fails to come on or a pump does not operate. In this case the alarm situation needs to be resolved before restarting the outputs. By setting AL3 to ON the engineer determines that the alarm must be reset manually before normal operation can continue.

 Alarm delay, alarm limit and alarm reset:

For the above alarms, an activation delay, a limit and a reset (where applicable) may be defined. The reset determines when the alarm condition will return to normal. It is used with input limit alarms, in frost protection for example. The frost protection alarm is activated once the temperature drops below 5°C (41°F), the alarm reset is set to 5K. The room is now heated until the temperature reaches 5°C (41°F) + 5K = 10°C (50°F). Once this temperature is reached the alarm will switch off, it will remain blinking until acknowledged.

 Alarm Settings on Outputs

The position of an output in the event of an alarm may be defined for each output and each alarm individually. The output can be switched on (100%) or off (0%). Additionally, analog outputs may now as well be set to a predefined value. To achieve this, the same alarm needs to be selected in the ON and OFF register. An additional parameter is provided to choose the desired alarm level.

 The alarm takes precedence over operating state and control signal. For interlocks, its operation during OFF mode is

defined through parameter AL4.

 Two parameters define the behavior of the output based on an alarm: One parameter defines which alarm deactivates

the output (0%); the other parameter defines which alarm activates the output to 100%. Each alarm can be individually selected. Multiple alarms can be assigned to one output. Should an alarm be active simultaneously in the parameter to activate and another one to deactivate the output, the one to de-activate has precedence.

Feedback or output alarms

 Feedback alarms for fans, binary and analog outputs (AL0 = 4-6):

Feedback alarms are deployed to make sure a device is operating correctly. For example, to supervise a fan, feedback from a pressure switch may be used. While the fan is in operation, the pressure should be high, if the fan is off, the pressure should be low. If any of these conditions is amiss an alarm needs to be generated. Feedback alarms normally should not reset themselves automatically, therefore set AL4 = ON.

 New Feature: Output alarms for fans, binary and analog outputs (AL0 = 4-6):

Output alarms or interlocks can be used to activate an interlock based on the activation of, or exceeding the limit of, an output. A feedback alarm with no input assigned (AL2 = 0) will work as an output alarm or interlock.

For fan output alarms, each fan speed has a value of 10%. So speed 1 = 10%, speed 2 = 20% and speed 3 = 30%. To trigger an interlock or alarm based on fan speeds, the appropriate limits will have to be set using AL9 and AL10.

For binary outputs, the level is 100% when on and 0% when the output is off.

Analog outputs are according to their actual output level in % of the full span.

Alarms based on control loop sequence

 Alarms or interlocks for PI sequences of control loops (AL0 = 7)

Set an alarm or interlock if a sequence of a control loop exceeds a certain level. This may be used to control an output through several control conditions in parallel when applied as interlock, or to indicate a malfunctioning control setup when used as alarm. Use limits AL9 and ALA to define limit and hysteresis for alarms or interlocks for PI sequences.

 Alarm notification or interlock (AL3):

Low or high limits of inputs may be used to supervise operating conditions when an output should be switched on or off independent of control situations. In this case an alarm display may be unwanted. The display of an alarm can be suppressed by converting the alarm to an interlock by setting AL3 to ON.

 New Feature: Cycle mode for interlocks or alarms (AL0 = 8)

In cycle mode, the output will activate after a defined timeout period (AL5) for a set period of time (run time, AL7). After the run time has expired, the output will stay off for the timeout period and will activate again after it has expired and so forth.

 Reverse or direct

The behaviour may be reversed using AL6. If set to ON, timeout will start when the output is on and the output will deactivate during the run time defined in AL7.

 The timeout period will restart, should the output activate in direct mode or deactivate in reverse mode during the

defined the timeout period.

 This function can be set with AL8 to be only active during certain operation modes. It can therefore be used either as

valve cycle or as humidity or mould control feature. Important is to keep AL4 = ON if the function should be active in OFF or disabled mode.

Manipulation of the setpoint

 Unoccupied mode setpoints:

There are two possibilities to change the setpoint in unoccupied mode: Shift it by L07 or switch to the minimum setpoint limit in heating mode and maximum setpoint limit in cooling by setting 1L27 to ON. Unoccupied mode may be disabled by setting UP06 to OFF.

 Setpoint compensation:

The setpoint compensation is typically used to compensate the set point due to a change in outside temperature. Enable summer or winter set point compensation for this control loop with L05. Both setpoint shift or setpoint setback are possible. They are described in more detail under auxiliary function 4FU.

 New Feature: Display of setpoint value:

Depending on the configuration of the controller there are various set points that might be active. If the control loop is in heating only or cooling only setup, this means if only one sequence is enabled, the acting setpoint is shown. If both sequences are enabled, the controller is in 4-pipe mode. In this case the set point shown is the setpoint which lies between the acting heating and cooling setpoints. The distance between the displayed setpoint and the acting setpoint is called dead zone (1L08). In unoccupied mode, the acting setpoint is shown in all cases.

 New Feature: Summer / winter mode:

For 4-pipe systems it is useful to control the setpoint limits by a summer – winter flag instead of heating – cooling mode. To have set point limits follow summer winter instead of heating/cooling, enable xL28. Set point limits now follow the setting of UP24 (summer / winter mode).

 New Feature: Controlling the setpoint through a potentiometer or input:

To use a potentiometer to control the setpoint, select the input with xL06. The selected input must be set to 0-100% or be in potentiometer mode. The value of the input will then be spanned between the upper and lower setpoint limits of the active mode (heating, cooling or summer, winter). A value of 0% of the input will then result in the set point to match the lower limit and a value of 100% results in the setpoint being identical to the upper limit. The values in between are adjusted proportionally.

Cascade Control Example – VAV Application

Primary loop = temperature (1L)

Secondary loop = airflow/pressure (2L)

Settings: 2L01=20%, 2L02=60%, 2L06=2

Depending on temperature set point, the demand is calculated for loop 1. For example 40%.

Based on demand of loop 1, the set point of pressure loop is calculated proportionally between min (20%) and max (60%) pressure set point limits. A demand of 40% will result in a set point of 36% in the above example.

Heating / cooling – reverse / direct sequence.

 Cascade control:

In cascade control (L06) the setpoint of the secondary loop is determined by the demand of the primary loop. The setpoint of the secondary loop is calculated proportionally according to demand of the primary loop between minimum and maximum setpoint limits. Cascade control is activated by setting the parameter XL06 of the secondary control loop.

A typical application is a variable air volume system where the temperature output determines the pressure set point.

 Manual override

The set point of cascaded control loops may be manually overridden if not disabled with UP02. Such an override will not reset automatically. To reset back to auto mode, change the set point again while in manual mode and it will return to auto.

 Activation of reverse / direct sequence

The active sequence for each loop which has both sequences assigned to an output may be determined either by demand or by following the heat / cool mode of the controller. The heat cool mode of the controller can either be set manually or with the auxiliary function FU3.

 Max set point deviation

This parameter defines the acceptable limit for the deviation alarm. In the alarm setup it is possible to trigger an alarm or an interlock if the set point does not reach the acceptable limit within a certain time. This can be used to indicate a mal function or to trigger additional booster outputs.

PI control sequence

 Activating control loops

Control loops and sequences are activated by assigning outputs to them in the output configuration section.

 Proportional control (P-band):

The proportional control function calculates the output based on the difference between setpoint and input. The proportional band (P-band) defines the difference between setpoint and input required to produce a 100% output. For example: a heating control sequence and a 2.0°C (4.0°F) P-band value will produce a 10V output (100%) when the input temperature is 2.0°C (4.0°F) below setpoint. This is the working range of the proportional control sequence. With 1°C (2°F) below setpoint, the output will be 5V (50%).

Setting the proportional band to 0 disables proportional control. This is required for very fast control systems such as fan control through air pressure transmitters.

 Integral control:

Proportional control is in most cases a very stable control mode. The flaw of proportional control alone, however, is that the setpoint is normally not reached. As the measured value gets closer to the setpoint, the output reduces until it reaches a point, a fraction above or below the setpoint, where the output equals the load. To reach the setpoint and achieve a higher level in comfort, the integral function should be activated.

 Integral Gain (KI) dynamically increases the output by the selected KI value every Measuring Interval TI until

the setpoint is reached. The challenge is to prevent hunting, where the output increases too fast and the temperature overshoots the setpoint. Hunting may result if the integral gain is too high or measuring interval too short. Each system is different. To prevent instability the P-band should be extended when integral gain is active (L14 or L15 set above 0).

Setting the integral gain to 0 disables integral and differential control.

Digital control sequence

 Cumulative stage action (L16=0) is typically used in electric heat applications, and single stage action (L16=1) in fan

speed applications. Digital stage action (L16=2) is especially useful in electric heat applications to generate three steps with just two outputs. For example: Step 1=100W, step 2=200W, step 3=300W.

 Switching hysteresis (L21) is the difference between switching on and switching off. A small hysteresis will increase

the number of switching cycles and thus the wear on associated equipment.

 With minimum running time delay (L22) cumulative stages will not switch on simultaneously. With a sudden demand

or initial startup, power stage 2 will not start earlier than 10 seconds (default value) after stage 1 has been initiated. Likewise, after a stage is switched off, it will remain switched off until L23 is expired. This is to avoid rapid switching.

Analog output general information

 Set jumpers on the back of the controller: 0–10VDC (default), or 0–20mA. Further define analog output signals with

A02. Custom ranges can be created by setting minimum and maximum signal limits.

 A control loop, special function, digital control or analog control sequence is not active until it is assigned to an output.

Alarms with analog outputs

 Alarm or interlock selection:

Every output may be activated or deactivated based on a series of alarms or interlocks. Alarms specify fault conditions of the control application; interlocks may be used to offer additional control options. Alarms operate as well when the controller is in off mode. Interlocks can be selected to be active in off mode or not. To activate the output while an alarm is pending, select the alarm in A07. To deactivate the output with the alarm pending, select it in A08. If both an alarm is active which is selected in A07 and another alarm is active that is selected in A08, the output will be switched off.

 New Feature: Specific output level for alarms or interlocks.

Selecting the same alarm for both 0% and 100% output will activate a special level that can be specified in A15.

Analog output configuration for control loops

 New Feature with V1.3: it is now possible to only use a part of a PI signal for one analog output. The signal is then

spanned to the full output range. For example AO1 outputs 0-10V if the PI signal is 0% - 50%; AO2 outputs 0-10V if the PI signal is 50% - 100%. Set the limits with 1A12 and 1A14.

Note: For normal operation they must be set to 0 - 100% now.

 For VAV Function individual minimum and maximum limits

may be assigned for cooling and heating. In VAV applications maximum cooling output matches the maximum air volume the VAV box is set to deliver. As demand for airflow in cooling mode decreases, airflow dwindles until it reaches minimum cooling output (1A05). This minimum will be based on the airflow needed at design cooling and is typically 10% to 15% of maximum cooling airflow. When this minimum is reached the system is in dead-band – neither heating nor cooling. Minimum airflow in heating mode is set with 1A03. As the system moves into heating mode, heating airflow increases until it reaches the maximum heating output (1A04), typically 30 to 50% of maximum cooling airflow.

 New Feature: Maximum of loop 1 and loop 2:

The maximum output value of two control loops may be assigned to one output. A combination of indirect and reverse sequences may be chosen. Applications for this function are CO2 and moisture control for ventilation, dehumidification.

Analog output configuration for special functions and manual control

 With manual positioning (1A00=6) position the output by time schedule or directly in 0.5% steps. Setting 1A01 to 0

will disable access to manual positioning through the operation terminal. The output will then only be controlled by time schedule.

 Dehumidification function: A00 = 5 and A01 = 0.

Set loop 1 as the temperature loop and loop 2 as the humidity loop. The cooling output is assigned to this function , the heating output is assigned to the heating sequence of loop 1. So for parameters this will look like this: Cooling output AO1: 1A00 = 5, 1A01 = 0 (dehumidification loop 1 and loop 2); Heating output AO2: 2A00 = 1, 2A01 = 0 (heating mode)

 Economizer

The economizer function may be configured using auxiliary function 5. In it the outdoor and indoor condition is compared and if possible the outdoor or return air damper are modulated in order to allow support of outside air to reduce heating or cooling costs. In here the outdoor or return air damper may be selected. The return air damper is the reverse signal from the outdoor damper. while the economy cycle is active the signal may be modulated. Even if mechanical cooling or heating is active, the outdoor damper may still stay open if the outdoor temperature or enthalpy is lower resp. higher than the one of the return air. More details about the function of the economizer are under aux function 5.

Fan configuration

Note: Fan output settings continued on next page.  The active fan speed is defined by the binary sequence of the control loop (L17-L23) or if F10= ON the output of the

PI sequence of this control loop. Automatic fan speeds can be overridden by keypad if manual mode is enabled (UP02 = ON). If fan should be manually disabled F08 need to be set to ON.

 Demand based functions: The fan will start automatically in case there is a demand on the heating or cooling

sequence of a specific control loop (defined in F01) or the controller if F01=5. Startup and switch off delays will apply.

 With manual positioning (F01=6) control the fan by time schedule or manually. Setting F02=0 will disable manual

positioning through the operation terminal. The fan will then only be controlled by time schedule. Set F02=1 to allow manual positioning.

Startup, switch off delays and alarms

 Startup and switch off delay.

During the startup or the switch off delay of a fan module all other control outputs assigned to control loop 1 for fan module 1 or control loop 2 for fan module 2, will be deactivated. This prevents overheated electrical heating batteries for example.

 Alarm or interlock selection:

Every may be activated or deactivated based on a series of alarms or interlocks. Alarms specify fault conditions of the control application; interlocks may be used to offer additional control options. Alarms operate as well when the controller is in off mode. Interlocks can be selected to be active in off mode or not. To activate the output while an alarm is pending, select the alarm in F07. To deactivate the output with the alarm pending, select it in F08. If both an alarm is active which is selected in F07 and another alarm is active that is selected in F08, the output will be switched off.

Fan output settings for manual control and DO/AO selection

Fan output configuration in PI mode (F10 = ON)

 New Feature: Maximum of loop 1 and loop 2:

 New Feature: Fan module for analog outputs:

This can be useful for EC (electronically commutated) type fans or if external switching modules are used instead of binary outputs. To use an analog output instead of binary outputs, set F09 to ON and then specify output switching levels. The output switching levels define the analog output generated according to which fan speed. The levels are set in the corresponding analog output settings (A12 to A14). AO1 for Fan1 and AO2 for Fan2.

 New Feature: Fan output in PI mode

Switch fan based on PI sequence rather than binary sequence of control loop. Select control loop and sequence with parameters F01 and F02, set F10 = ON and define switching limits for different fan speeds with F11 to F13. The hysteresis for all fan speeds is identical and is set with F14.

Lead-lag configuration

 Lead – lag configuration:

The fan module may be used to rotate a group of binary outputs based on their run time. This is commonly used with pumps or where multiple devices control one function. To use lead-lag, activate it by selecting number of outputs involved with F00, choose function by setting F01 = 9. The number of simultaneous active outputs is set with F02 (1 or 2). Choose running time step size with F03 for minutes, hours or days and set running time of each output with F15 (Step size may only be defined with V1.2R4 and later).

Select if manual control is allowed with F08. The current active output may now be seen in F16, the current running time since the last switch is visible with F17. These settings and times may be changed through access to parameters. Note: Parameters F10 to F14 may change while this mode is active.

 New feature: Configure demand based operation and supervision of each output during lead-lag mode:

If the binary outputs are assigned to the lead lag module, they can now have lag and disable interlocks assigned to them. Assign a maximum delay alarm to an interlock and then assign this interlock to the lead lag module for simultaneous activation of all its outputs.

 Assign an alarm input to an interlock and then assign this interlock to the disable parameter of the individual outputs.

If the lead output is disabled, the lag output will be activated instead.

 New Feature

Following options are possible: Lead – Lag, Lead – Lag – Lag, Lead – Lead – Lag, Lead – Lead – Lead. They can be changed during operation with interlocks. Additionally there is a standby output that can replace any of the outputs.

d02 to 0 will disable manual positioning. The output will then only be controlled by time schedule. Set d02 to 1 to activate manual control of the output.

 For floating point outputs the running time of the actuator used needs to be specified with 1d04. Running time is

defined as the time required for the actuator to run from fully open to fully closed and vice versa. Actuators with a fixed running time are recommended. Once fully open or fully closed the running time for the actuator is extended for a full run-time cycle. This will allow the actuator position to be synchronized in case it has been moved during off time or an actuator with variable running time was used.

 State functions (1d01=7) fully open the output based on certain conditions with or without a demand for heating or

cooling. In Energy Hold OFF mode (EHO) the output will be off. Note: From V1.2R6 onwards, this function is combined with d03.

 Alarm or interlock selection:

Every may be activated or deactivated based on a series of alarms or interlocks. Alarms specify fault conditions of the control application; interlocks may be used to offer additional control options. Alarms operate as well when the controller is in off mode. Interlocks can be selected to be active in off mode or not. To activate the output while an alarm is pending, select the alarm in d07. To deactivate the output with the alarm pending, select it in d08. If both an alarm is active which is selected in d07 and another alarm is active that is selected in d08, the output will be switched off.

 Run time counter (d09):

Run time counters can be used to sum up the accumulated runtime of a device connected to a binary output. The counter runs up to 65536 hours and saves the run time every hour to EEPROM. The run time hours and the status of the binary output will be displayed when stepping through the available display pages with the operation terminal.

 Maintenance alarm (d10):

The run time counter may be used to trigger a maintenance alarm once a certain run time is exceeded. Select limit to trigger a maintenance alarm. The limit is selectable in steps of 256 hours. Setting the time to 0 disables the maintenance alarm. Note: An alarm must be assigned to maintenance alarm by setting AL0 = 3 on one alarm.

 New Feature: Switch binary output based on PI-sequence:

This New Feature allows a direct response to PI output value. So no alarms or interlocks have to be used for a simple limit switch. Switch output based on PI sequence rather than binary sequence of control loop. Select control loop and sequence with parameters d01 and d02, set d11 = ON and define switching limits with d12 and d13.

 New Feature: Switch binary output based on input value:

Activate the function with d01 = 9. Select the input with d02 and define the switching limits with d14 and d15. Reversing the switching limits, will reverse the switching function of the output. Note: The switch based on inputs is as well used for the light switch function.

 New Feature: Lead – Lag function:

The lead – lag function is defined in the fan module. A binary output can be assigned to a lead – lag function. Either as stage that will be rotated based on the settings of the function or as standby output. The standby output will be activated when a stage output fails. Only one standby output can be activated per lead – lag function. Each output assigned to a stage may be disabled using interlocks or alarms. In this case it is disabled, the lead – lag function activates the next stage.

Pulse width modulation (PWM) mode is enabled with 1d06. In PWM mode the digital output will be switched on/off

once per cycle. The on and off times are calculated according to the PI settings of the respective control sequence. It is not recommended to use cycle times below 10 Minutes for relays outputs as the lifetime of the relays will be shortened with frequent switching. The settings are identical to the output in binary configuration. Only difference is for parameter d04 and d05:

New Feature: Minimum and maximum limits for PWM outputs. Using d04 and d05 the on time of the PWM signal may now be limited to the value defined with d05. After the limitation has been exceeded the output will cycle with a frequency that is defined with d04. Setting d05 = 00:00 will deactivate the limitation function.

2Fu Switch occupied and unoccupied modes based on input values

 Use occupied/unoccupied mode changeover with key card switches, occupancy sensors, etc.

Activate function by selecting the input to control occupied/unoccupied mode. Set the limits (2FU2 and 2FU3) to the input values that indicate when the room is occupied or unoccupied. This can be done through a switch or for example a CO2 sensor. Configure occupied/unoccupied changeover with loop configuration parameter 1L07 and 1L27 for each affected control loop.

 New Feature: For door contact applications: The use of a key switch may be avoided by using a door contact and a

motion detector. The motion detectors should be placed in each room in order to detect the presence of an occupant. The room will automatically go to unoccupied mode once the door is opened and closed again and if there is no movement in the room after the door closes. The delay of the motion detector MUST therefore be less than the unoccupied mode delay defined with 2FU1; else the controller will stay in occupied mode. Ideal is to keep the delay of the motion detector output to below 30 seconds. The moment there is movement in the room or the door is opened; the room will go to occupied mode again and will not go to unoccupied unless the door is opened and closed again.

 Following are the occupied/unoccupied mode switch possibilities:

 The heating or cooling state of the controller may be controlled from a central location by a binary (digital) contact or

temperature levels of outside air or supply media. The state may also depend on heating or cooling demand of a control loop. Note: The control loop used to determine the heat /cool state must be set to demand-based heating and cooling with (L24 = OFF).

 Set limit 1 and limit 2 to switch between heating and cooling with options below:

 When switching heating/cooling state with an external switch set input to RT/DI mode and connect switch to signal

ground. Ground levels of all involved controllers must be the same.

 For supply media temperature we recommend switching to cooling at limit1 = 16°C/61°F and to heating at limit2 =

28°C/83°F. For outdoor temperature we recommend switching to cooling at limit1 = 28°C/83°F and to heating at limit2= 16°C/61°F outdoor temperature.

 Above recommendations are given as suggestions. The ideal settings may be different on the actual project

depending on climatic and system conditions.

Functional description

The aim of the economizer function is to reduce energy consumption by utilizing situations where cooling or heating requirements may be satisfied or supported by outdoor air.

The economize function will first verify if there is demand from the loop. Once there is demand, it will compare the outdoor sensor with the return air sensor. If the situation is such that this would satisfy the demand, the outdoor damper will modulate. (for example if cooling mode, outdoor temperature or enthalpy is lower than the return air one.).

If in temperature sensor mode, it will check if the minimum difference outdoor temp to set point condition is fulfilled. If this is true, the economy cycle is activated for the time duration specified under 5FU5. If during this time the setpoint is reached, the counter will be reset. If not, mechanical cooling or heating will start once the delay is expired.

 To operate, the economizer needs to be assigned to a control loop. There are several possibilities to determine if the

condition for free heating or cooling is satisfied. The economizer operates differently depending on the sensors attached to it.

 Outdoor air enthalpy, return air enthalpy:

Once there is heating or cooling demand, the economizer compares the enthalpy of return air with outdoor air. If the minimum difference condition defined with 5FU4 is met, mechanical heating or cooling is deactivated and the outdoor and return air dampers are modulated to achieve the predefined set point of the supply air. Once free heating or cooling is activated, only half of 5FU4 is required to maintain it. Mechanical cooling will resume, if the set point is not reached during the time specified in 5FU5 or difference drops below 5FU4/2. The outdoor damper will modulate based on demand, as long as the outdoor enthalpy is below the return air enthalpy for free cooling or above it for free heating.

 Outdoor air temperature, return air temperature:

Once there is heating or cooling demand, the economizer compares the setpoint with the outdoor air and return air temperature. If the minimum difference condition defined with 5FU4 is met, mechanical heating or cooling is deactivated and the outdoor and return air dampers are modulated to achieve the predefined set point of the supply air. Once free heating or cooling is activated, only half of 5FU4 is required to maintain it. Mechanical cooling will resume, if the setpoint is not reached during the time specified in 5FU5 or difference drops below 5FU4/2. The outdoor damper will modulate based on demand, as long as the outdoor temperature is below the return air temperature for free cooling or above it for free heating. With 5FU6 an interlock may be used to disable the economizer if the outdoor air humidity or outdoor air pollution is too high to provide free cooling.

Modbus protocol

RTU or ASCII, data and stop bits

By default, RTU uses 8 data bits, 1 parity bit with even parity and 1 stop bit; ASCII mode uses 7 data bits, 1 parity bit with even parity, and 1 stop bit.

Both modes support “No Parity” mode, in these cases a 2nd stop bit is used to keep the byte length (11bit for RTU and 10

bit for ASCII, including the Start and Stop bits) unchanged in accordance with the Modbus specification. Other possible serial port modes like Odd Parity or baud rates other than listed ones are not supported.

Supported Modbus commands

- 03 (0x03): Read multiple registers

- 06 (0x06): Write single register

- 16 (0x10): Write multiple registers

In commands 03 and 16 the allowed number of registers ranges from 1 to 32. Although Modbus specification would allow more registers to be read and written, a maximum of 32 Modbus registers are supported in one packet. One Modbus register is 16 bits wide. The Modbus slave transmits the values as signed 16 bit integers. The least significant digit of the transmitted number is always the first digit below the decimal point, and this results in the following range of numbers that the slave module is able to transmit: from -9999.9 to 9999.9

In an event of an out-of-range command addressing or an unsupported command, the Modbus slave responds with an exception message according to the Modbus specification.

Communication configuration

 Automatic address increase function:

When this function is enabled and an automatic AEC-PM1 parameter load is executed at power up of the controller, the communication address on CO03 is incremented and written back to the AEC -PM1 unit. It is incremented only if the value is not already 127.

 Changing address register through broadcast message:

It is not possible to change network address register through broadcast message.

Changing parameters of the controller through bus communication

It is possible to remotely changing parameters through an indirect read/write mode. Find details on the procedure required and how to interpret values in the application note: Access to control parameters through AEX-MOD

Virtual Inputs

 The TCX2 can operate with external inputs. To activate, program the virtual input to use it as external input of the

communication module: for example 9u00 = 2 (Address 3800 = 2) or 10u00 = 2 (Address 3900 = 2), see static address list on page 8).

 Then program the master to write to the input address the value to the corresponding input. For example Address

1135 for virtual input 1 and 1139 for virtual input 2. Observe the specified time out limitations in the virtual input settings of the TCX2. If the input is not re-written within the time out limits, the TCX2 will disable the corresponding virtual input and with it all associated control functions.
