E-Link Gateway Installation Instructions

6.
Place the equipment in remote operating mode to
accept commands from the E-Link Gateway. Refer
to the equipment installation literature for the
proper configuration settings.
For all chillers that use the YORK Talk protocols, check
that the Port 2 communication LEDs, Red (TX) and
Green (RX), are flashing. This scenario indicates that
the chiller panel is being polled and is responding. See
Figure for the location of Port 2 communication LEDs.
What You Should Know before
Using Quick Starts
The E-Link is designed to use a set of predefined data
maps to associate equipment data with a set of fixed
BAS network variables. You are not able to make any
field changes to these data maps; attempting to do so
results in the automatic reversal of any edits that you
may have made. For any field patches, refer to your
local
FSC (Field Support Center)
for guidance.
The data maps used by the E-Link Gateway are based
on a collection of version controlled equipment point
lists, which are supplied by the equipment business for
the purpose of integrating equipment into BAS
networks. Unless noted otherwise, the equipment’s
data is available in these supported BAS protocols:
BACnet MS/TP, N2,
L
ON
W
ORKS
, and Modbus RTU.
The first release of the E-Link was positioned to
provide the equivalent functionality as offered by the
YORK MicroGateway. That release requires you to
reference point lists which are version J or earlier. All
subsequent E-link releases use point lists version K or
later.
Quick Starts 1 through 16 all use the J version point
lists, whereas Quick Starts 17 through 33 use the K
version. The primary difference between the two
categories is that Quick Starts 1 through 16 have
limited network visible points. In this case, the available
points are those which were originally available at the
time when the MicroGateway was first released.
Quick Starts 17 and higher offer a much richer
equipment point compliment that is more reflective of
what the equipment currently makes available today.
These Quick Starts also create profiles that use more
descriptive BACnet point names, use engineering
units, and follow the BACnet Testing Laboratories™
(BTL) guidelines for compliance as a B-ASC controller.
In most cases, using a Quick Start that corresponds to
the equipment being integrated is sufficient to configure
the E-Link Gateway for operating on the BAS network;
however, in some circumstances, you will be required
to provide further customizing by connecting a laptop
computer onto Port 3 and then accessing the User
Reports (refer to the
E-Link Gateway Commissioning
and Troubleshooting Technical Bulletin [LIT-12011238]
for more information).
