Note:
Do not connect a wirelessly enabled
field controller to a wired FC Bus. Refer
to the
ZFR1800 Series Wireless Field Bus
System Technical Bulletin (LIT-12011295)
or
the
ZFR1800 Series Wireless Field Bus System
Product Bulletin (LIT-12011336)
for more
information about wireless applications.
3. Set a unique and sequential device address for
each of the controllers connected on the FC bus,
starting with device address 4. To ensure the best
bus performance, set sequential device addresses
with no gaps in the device address range (4, 5, 6, 7,
8, 9, and so on). The controllers do not need to be
physically connected on the bus in their numerical
device address order.
4. Write each controller’s device address on the white
label below the DIP switch block on the controller’s
cover.
Setting the EOL switch
About this task:
Each field controller has an EOL switch that you can set
to ON (up) to set the field controller as a terminating
device on the bus. See
location on the field controller. The default EOL switch
position is OFF (down). The amber EOL LED illuminates to
show that the EOL is active.
Figure 12: EOL ON position
Figure 13: EOL OFF position
To set the EOL switch on a field controller, complete the
following steps:
1. Determine the physical location of the controller on
the FC bus.
2. Determine if the controller must be set as a
terminating device on the bus.
Note:
Refer to the
MS/TP Communications Bus
Technical Bulletin (LIT-12011034)
for detailed
information about EOL termination rules and
EOL switch settings on SA and FC buses.
3. If the controller is a terminating device on the FC
bus, set the EOL switch to ON. If the controller is
not a terminating device on the bus, set the EOL
switch to OFF.
Note:
When the EOL switch is set to ON,
the EOL LED on the front of the controller is
illuminated.
Commissioning the controller
About this task:
To commission the controller, use the Controller
Configuration Tool (CCT).
Note:
To configure and commission controllers,
and to upgrade the firmware of the controllers to
the latest version, you must obtain the equipment
controller firmware package files for CCT. See the
product code MS-FCP-0, FX-FCP-0, or CH-FCP-0.
Beginning at CCT Release 13, you must order the
firmware package files separately, they are not
included with CCT. Obtain them from the software
licensing portal, and load and license them on the
computer or server that runs CCT. For additional
information about the firmware package files, refer
to the
CCT Installation Instructions (LIT-12011529)
.
To commission the controller, complete the following
steps:
1. Connect the controller to the CCT using one of the
following methods:
- MAP4.2+/BACnet Router
Note:
This method is available for
Mobile Access Portal (MAP) Gateways
at version 4.2 or above.
- Bluetooth, using BTCVT
Note:
The MAP Gateway serves as a
replacement for the BTCVT, which is
no longer available for purchase, but
continues to be supported. You can use
the Bluetooth connection to transfer to
the computer (upload) and commission
the controller, but you cannot use the
Bluetooth connection to transfer to the
device (download).
2. Download the control application to the controller
using the CCT. For more information, refer to the
Controller Tool Help (LIT-12011147)
and
Controller
Provisioning with Tools (LIT-12013247)
.
3. Commission the VAV Box.
4. Perform airflow balancing on the VAV box. Refer
to the
VAV Balancing Tool and Network Sensors
Technical Bulletin (LIT-12011087)
.
5. Perform commission checkout procedures. Refer
to
Controller Tool Help (LIT-12011147)
and
Controller
Provisioning with Tools (LIT-12013247)
.
