Transport, storage and packaging
Delivery check
Check delivered items immediately after arrival for
transport damage and completeness. In case of any
damage or an incomplete shipment, inform the
shipping company and your TROX contact person
immediately.
A complete shipment includes:
• PCB
• 20-pin header
• Fixing material (4 distance pieces and 4 screws)
• Operating and installation manual
Transport on site
• If possible, take the expansion module in the
transport packaging up to the installation location.
• Do not remove the protective wrapping until just
before installation.
Storage
If you need to store the expansion module
temporarily, make sure that the following conditions
apply:
• Leave the unit in its packaging and do not expose
it to the effects of weather.
Store the unit in a dry place and away from direct
sunlight.
• Temperature: –10°C to +70°C
Maximum humidity: 90% (non-condensing)
Packaging
Properly dispose of packaging material.
Functional description
The EM-LON expansion module supplements the
EASYLAB base components (TCU3 controller or
TAM adapter module) with a LonWorks interface for
the purpose of linking rooms or individual volume
flow controllers to the central BMS.
The PCB contains terminals for the LonWorks
network and a service pin push button with indicator
light. The PCB can be fitted to the TCU3 or TAM
main PCB using a header.
To simplify diagnosis during commissioning the
expansion module is equipped with two additional
indicator lights that indicate data traffic on the
LonWorks interface.
Standard network variables are used for the
communication within the LonWorks infrastructure.
These variables ensure unambiguous data
exchange between the nodes. For commissioning, it
is necessary to link the network variables between
the nodes (binding). Project software is used to link
the outputs of a node to the inputs of other nodes.
