Cylon Controls: Company profile Cylon was formed in 1985 by three graduate electronics engineers to apply the latest generation electronics technology to building services and environmental control. Today Cylon is the largest privately owned manufacturer of building control in Europe and an established, substantial OEM supplier. Principal markets include the UK, Ireland, Italy, Germany and France. Cylon is quality assured to ISO 9000-2. Cylon's business focus is the development of innovative building management systems: ensuring the right conditions for work and leisure, improving maintenance, and deploying energy and utility resources appropriately and economically. Cylon secures these objectives through the development and supply of UNITRON, an intelligent control system which draws upon the leading edge of direct digital control, network communications, software and electronics engineering. Cylon systems are specified across all sectors of the building services industry - from intelligent commercial property with integrated HVAC, lighting and life safety, to the small shop or school with, perhaps, just one or two zone heating. In the commercial sector, Unitron projects include the new International Rail Terminal at Waterloo and the prestigious Ludgate development. Cylon's public sector projects include health and education authorities such as Tayside Health Board and the University of East Anglia. Industrial applications range from 'clean' pharmaceuticals, such as A.H. Cox, to aerospace, rail and heavy engineering firms. Unitron is also specified to regional energy suppliers like Northern Electric. This breadth of application is a reflection not just of how 'universal' and flexible Unitron controllers are, but of how usable they are. For example, Cylon has developed fully configurable keypads for non-technical staff, and comprehensive building management supervisors for facilities and estates managers. Additionally, Cylon's support for 'open architectures' mirrors the likely development of building management practices by freely permitting the creation of inter-operable systems, via gateways and servers, and across office systems. Cylon is fully committed to the adoption of 'green' building services methods such as ice storage, chilled ceilings and natural ventilation. Not only is the Unitron system compatible with such techniques, but the company has undertaken a number of successful pioneering projects into green applications, sponsored by EC research initiatives. Cylon's experience in building services controls is under-pinned by an expertise in electronics design that is evident throughout the Unitron range. All products are conceived, developed and documented by an in-house research and development team at its Dublin headquarters. Their experience in advanced electronics design, graphical user interfaces and windows-based expert systems is evident in the many technically advanced features of the Unitron range. Even the smallest Unitron controller benefits from the massive processing power of modern integrated circuits. Multi-layer circuit boards contribute not only to the compact size of Unitron controllers, but to comprehensive CENELEC emissions and immunity ratings across the range. Cylon's own implementation of ARCnet, the process industry standard, results in High Speed Internetwork with a transfer speed of 2.5 Megabits per second from just one VLSI microchip. 32 bit processors handle other Unitron communications. Future compatibility is assured by open communications, and the adoption of proprietary networks which are recognised and enduring standards. UCTMDOC1-01

In the UK Cylon does not supply or engineer directly, preferring to focus on its twin strengths of control system development and technical support. Instead Cylon has an accredited distributor network consisting only of leading control systems suppliers. Each 'Approved Cylon Systems Integrator' works closely with Cylon, and in turn is able to offer a comprehensive support package from outline specification and engineering - using automated design, testing and documentation methods through to project management, training and postinstallation support.

Section 1 System concept

Communications controllers and universal controllers

The UNITRON network is made up of two basic components: • the UCC4 • the UC16.

UCC4 This compact communications controller co-ordinates all communication functions on its own subnetwork of up to 32 controllers. In addition, the UCC4, when fitted with an Arcnet card, can interface with other subnetworks over UNITRON's high speed internetwork, allowing larger integrated systems to be assembled. The UCC4 has the facility, via its RS232 ports, to be connected to supervisory PCs, printers, modems etc.

UC16 These are powerful, fully programmable controllers. They work as a type of intelligent input/output board with 8 inputs and 8 outputs. The UC16 has the capacity to act as an integral part of a subnetwork or else as a stand-alone controller. This modular approach gives great flexibility and reduces installation and maintenance costs.

UCC4 address and configuration switches

•

Switch 1 (SW1) is the 8 bit address switch. Each UCC4 has its own unique address. Appendix 1 of the UCC4 Hardware Manual illustrates all 255 addresses available.

•

Switch 2 (SW2) is the configuration switch, used to configure RS232 port 1.

•

Bits 1 & 2 select the RS232 baud rate.

•

Bits 3 & 4 select the RS485 (sub-net) baud rate.

•

Bits 5 & 6 select the type of peripheral device which is connected to port 1: computer, modem, printer, or none.

A full explanation of configuration switch settings is found on page 11 of the UCC4 Hardware Manual. NOTE 1: RS232 ports 2 and 3 are configured through software. NOTE 2: The address and configuration switches are only read by the controller on power up.

In the above example the address is 3, RS232 baud is 9600, sub-net baud is 9600 and the UCC4 is connected to a modem.

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

To connect up to 8UCC4s together with Arcnet:

Q. Can I connect more than 8 to this network cable? A. No. A Coax Active Hub should be used to add extra UCC4s.

UCTMDOC1-01


37

To connect more than 8 UCC4s to a network:

Q. There are 6 unused ports on this Hub. Do they need Arcnet terminating resistors? A. No.

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

Q. Will the network work as normal if the Hub is powered off? A. No. When the Hub is powered off it no longer terminates the line with 93 Ohms. If there is a danger of the Hub losing power then an Uninterruptable Power Supply should be used.

To connect UCC4s which are greater than 1000ft(330M) apart :

Q1. Can You put more UCC4s on these cables without affecting the maximum distance? A1. Yes up to 8 UCC4s on each cable. Q2. Is the Hub counted as a node on the network? A2. No. UCTMDOC1-01


38

To connect UCC4s which are greater than 660m apart:

Q. If you connect a UCC4 to line #2 do you still get 660m between Hubs? A. No. If you connect a UCC4 to line#2 then the maximum distance reduces to 330m between the two Hubs.

To connect up to 8 UCC4s on a line with 2 Hubs:

Q1. Do the Hubs terminate both ends of the line with 93R? A1. Yes. Q2. In general, what is the minimum length of RG62 cable I can use between UCC4s? A2. 1m is the minimum length and CYLON sell this as a standard item off-the-shelf.

49 Noise reduction inside the panel

Connect any relay packs, valves, external sensors etc. on a separate star on the 24V side of the transformer to that supplying UC16 controllers. Also if possible, connect any UCC4 communication controllers on another separate star. Where possible keep mains power cables away from sensor, sub-net and Arcnet cables. These measures will greatly reduce noise on the power supplies into the individual controllers.

•

when the cable is in the same ducting with mains (220/240 Vac) cabling. Note: There should always be at least 12 cm separation between mains wiring and UNITRON controller cables unless they are separated by metal ducting in which case a minimum distance of 6 cm is recommended.

•

when the length of the cable is close to the limits specified above in a), b) or c).

Arcnet media The Unitron UCC4 controller has been designed to be connected directly to low cost RG62 A/U Coax cable using standard 75 ohm BNC connectors and T-adapters. It is possible to use other transmission media if the appropriate interface is used. These are the available transmission media, off-the-shelf, for standard Arcnet: • Arcnet coax cable. • Arcnet fibre optic cable. It is possible to mix all these media in the one network.

Arcnet coax cable Different types of coax cable can be used with Arcnet but the furthest distances between nodes can be achieved with a 90 ohm characteristic impedance cable and 90 ohm terminators. A maximum distance between UCC4 controllers of 4 miles is then achievable using active hubs as repeaters. Up to 305 meters: This distance can be achieved between two UCC4s on a terminated length of cable. Up to eight UCC4s can be placed on this length of cable. A terminator may be replaced with an active hub to extend the network. Up to 610 meters: This distance can only be achieved with a star connection between two active co-axial hubs (that is, no UCC4 controllers are permitted on this length of cable). Recommended cables:

Belden 9269 (RG62A/U)

Arcnet fibre optic Puredata Europe supply cost-effective fibre optic hubs which have two Arcnet co-axial connections and two fibre optic connections. Another hub offered by the same source is a three fibre optic, one coax hub. The distances that can be achieved when using these hubs is dependent on the fibre cable used. 1. 50 Micron cable 7/3.5 = 2.0km max. 2. 62.5 Micron cable 12/4.5 = 2.67km max. 3. 100 Micron cable 16/6.0 = 2.67km max. We recommend the use of 100 Micron cable for use with these hubs. Two fibres are required for a fibre optic link: • One for transmit • One for receive These hubs come with either screw or bayonet fittings. When ordering these hubs, specify ST terminals (bayonet twist and lock). The hubs are mains powered devices.

Power supply cable One Unitron controller can draw typically 1.2 Amp pulses of current from the secondary of the 24 Vac transformer. The secondary should be fused with a slow blow fuse or circuit breaker, allowing 1Amp per Unitron controller. Ideally, one 24Vac transformer would be used per panel of controllers. This would ensure minimum electrical noise due to the resistance of the wire. Sometimes it is required to power valves and other devices from the same transformer as that powering the Unitron controllers. In this case, it is recommended to use a star connection at the secondary of the transformer so that the Unitron controllers are connected on one leg and the other devices appear on the other leg. The Go or ground wire on the secondary side should be connected to safety earth (green/yellow wire) at one point, preferably close to the transformer. These are the recommended maximum lengths of cable to be used on one leg of a star connection: Cable gauge

For example, if AWG 18 cable is being used and 8 controllers are to be powered at a distance of 5 metres from the one transformer, then four star connections would be made to the secondary of the transformer with 2 controllers each. In this case, it would simplify the wiring to use AWG 14 cable. UCTMDOC1-01

Safety codes Most of the cables recommended above are also available in a Plenum version if this is required by the site safety standards. This type of cable resists flame spread and does not give off toxic fumes even when exposed to direct flame. Although it is more expensive than the normal type, in certain cases this type of cable is exempt from the requirement to run the cable inside metal conduit thus reducing installation costs.

Introduction to the Engineering Tool The Engineering Tool allows us to program Unitron universal controllers to carry out the particular control function required of it. Graphical programming is used to implement these control programs which we call strategies. This means of programming ensures that complicated strategies can be quickly and efficiently implemented. This approach also allows ease of maintenance of the program in the future as a graphical strategy is easy to follow and document.

UCTMDOC1-01


72

Examples of strategies

This simple strategy is used to compare a hardware analog input into the controller with a user defined analog setpoint in order to switch a hardware digital output.

Here the strategy has been altered by the addition of a timer module, this will allow greater control over the output by setting the parameters of this module. To set the modules parameters you must place your mouse pointer over the module and click on the right hand mouse button. Below is the resulting dialog box, in this case that an off delay of 20 seconds has been set for the output.

UCTMDOC1-01


73

Example 1: Space temperature control of AHU heater battery 1. A temperature sensor located within the controlled space shall position a 3 port diverting valve on the AHU battery to maintain the desired space temperature setpoint. Assume full fresh air system, frost thermostat hardwired interlock to fan, fan enabled by BMS software digital setpoint. 2. The control loop will be enabled when the fan is in the "Run" condition, the valve will be set to the full bypass position when the fan is enabled. 3. Save this strategy as EXAMP1.STG.

Example 2: Input calibration 1. On the first UC16 on the sub-net input 1 is a 0-10V signal. Design a small strategy to rescale this input to match the 0-50 DegC settings shown on the dial. 2. Save this strategy as EXAMP2.STG.

UCTMDOC1-01


74

Example 3: Weather compensator Design a weather compensator with a linear characteristic where the flow temperature of a heating circuit is controlled by outside temperature. When the outside temperature is -1 DegC the flow temperature should be 80DegC and when the outside temperature is 20DegC the flow temperature should also be 20DegC. Limit the flow temperature to 20 to 80 DegC.

Section 11 Time schedules

77

UC16 time schedule Refer to UC16 Programming Manual, page 105.

The UC16 time schedule is for use on stand alone controllers and can be adjusted by a keypad or by a PC connected to the UC16. There are two start and stop times available in each time schedule and these can be selected for the entire week or for individual days. In the above case the schedule has been arranged to operate on Mondays only with one start and stop time; 8:30am to 5:30pm. This means that the digital True Output point, 31, will be set during these times.

80

Exercise Implement the following simple strategy in the first UC16: Digital output (point 16) will be switched on when either a digital input (point 8) or a UCC4 time schedule (schedule no.1) is enabled. The schedule should be sent to a digital setpoint in the strategy by means of a local global. Save this strategy as "Timeschd.stg" Define schedule no.1 and set up the local global. Set the on-off times for this schedule as Monday to Sunday, 8:00am to 6:20pm, then download this schedule. Test the schedule in the Engineering Tool. What happens if the on-off time for today has already gone? Download times to test this.

Section 12 Alarm text

82

UCC4 alarm text Refer to the UC16 Programming Manual, page 128 and the Engineer’s Guide, page 129. In order to send Alarm string text to the UCC4 we must use the UCC4 Configuration program as shown below.

This will display the following window:

From here the alarm strings required can be written and downloaded to the UCC4. When the alarm occurs in the UC16 the UCC4 will send these alarm strings to the PC. In order for Alarm scanning to be enabled on the PC it will have to be set up in the WN3000 Configuration.

UCTMDOC1-01


83

The Alarm window that will appear on the PC after an alarm has occurred looks like:

UCTMDOC1-01


84

Exercise: Alter your previously written strategy "Timeschd.stg" by adding an alarm module, this should go into alarm condition when the digital input (point 8) is closed. The Alarm Priority should be 1 and the associated text should read: "Boiler Trip, Plant room A" when the alarm is present and "Boiler Normal, Plant room A" when the alarm has ended.
