Chapter 1: Getting StartedChapter 1Getting StartedThis chapter offers guidance on planning your HVAC system andincludes the following topics:zA review of a sample floor plan displaying a variety of commonHVAC devices that the system manages.zA network configuration of controllers, servers, and CyberStationworkstations that provides the HVAC infrastructure for the samplesite.Andover Continuum CyberStation HVAC Essentials Guide13
Chapter 1: Getting StartedPlanning a Building Control SystemSchneider Electric’s products support the full range of HVAC needs:zSmall buildings to multi-site facilitieszControlled regulation of humidity and temperature for individualareas within a larger facilityAs you prepare to implement an HVAC system in your organization,you may want to work from floor plans of your facility to identify thefollowing factors that affect implementation:14 Schneider ElectriczLocations where HVAC specific controllers are neededzLocations where HVAC devices are neededzPersonnel who can adjust the HVAC settings for these areaszHow you want to manage regulating the environment in eachlocation (for example regulating the temperature or humidity in anoffice or a freezer)
Chapter 1: Getting StartedThe following illustration shows a small warehouse with the mainfacility, an office and a freezer. All of these areas require some form ofHVAC control.The following issues for this sample site determine the HVAC devicesthat are needed and the configuration of the system.zFor the main warehouse how can the humidity be monitored andregulated?zHow will the freezer temperature be monitored and maintained at aconstant below freezing temperature?zHow will the office be monitored and regulated separate from theother two areas?Andover Continuum CyberStation HVAC Essentials Guide15
Chapter 1: Getting StartedzWho will have administrative access to adjust the controllers thatmonitor and regulate all the HVAC devices in the facility?The following illustration shows the same floor plan, with HVACdevices in place.In this floor plan:z16 Schneider ElectricThe Humidity Sensor in the warehouse monitors the humidity leveland sends information back to the appropriate controller(s) if anadjustment is required. A dehumidifying device is then activated,by the controller, to reduce the humidity.
Chapter 1: Getting StartedzThe Temperature Sensor in the freezer monitors any dramatic risein temperature. It also detects if the temperature rises above therequired “constant freezing” temperature. If the temperature doesrise above freezing, then the sensor alerts the controller assigned tothe freezer. The controller then activates the chiller attached to thefreezer, which lowers the temperature back to the proper level.zThe Thermostats in the office and warehouse, monitor and regulatethe temperature (using air conditioning or heating units) forpersonnel in these areas. The regulation of the temperature inthese areas is maintained separately from the regulation of thetemperature in the freezer.Andover Continuum CyberStation HVAC Essentials Guide17
Chapter 1: Getting StartedOverview of Building Control NetworksThis illustration represents a sample Andover Continuum HVACarchitecture.18 Schneider Electric
Chapter 1: Getting StartedAndover Continuum Product DescriptionAndover Continuum is a mixture of hardware and software that isdesigned to monitor and control the various functions of a building.These functions include, but are not limited to, security, access control,lighting, heating, ventilation, and cooling.The hardware consists of equipment controllers, networkcommunication controllers and input and output interfaces. TheCyberStation software is a application program that allows you tocommunicate with, monitor and control the operation of the entireAndover Continuum system.Andover Continuum Hardware ProductsThe Andover Continuum product line encompasses a wide variety ofcomponents including the following:zNetController II, which replaced the NetController, CX9000,CX9200, CX9300 and the CX9500zInfinet bCX1, which replaced the CMX9924, CMX220 and theCMX240zACX (57xx), which replaced the SiteController 9702, ACX780 andACX700These components are networked to create a total building automationsystem.Andover Continuum System ArchitectureDepending upon the complexity of the site architecture, a system canrange from a single-user configuration with one workstation to a large,multi-user configuration with a network of multiple workstations, a fileserver, and numerous controllers.Andover Continuum CyberStation HVAC Essentials Guide19
Chapter 1: Getting StartedSingle-User ConfigurationIn single user configurations (also referred to as stand alone systems)the Andover Continuum product line consists of a network controller(NetController II with optional input/output modules), a bCX1 or aACX (57xx) and a CyberStation workstation. The SQL Expressdatabase also resides on the workstation. The NetController.bCX1/ACX(57xx) use Ethernet TCP/IP protocol to communicate with theworkstation. Communication between the network controller and the I/O modules is conducted over a special I/O bus. There are two versionsof the bCX1. One uses Schneider Electric proprietary Infinet protocoland the other communicates using the BACnet protocol. The followingillustration shows a single-user configuration.20 Schneider Electric
Chapter 1: Getting StartedMulti-User ConfigurationThe Andover Continuum system design is based on scalability, soexpansion to a multi-user, larger network configuration in a local areanetwork (LAN) is easily accomplished. The following illustration showssuch a configuration. In this configuration, the network is expanded toinclude another workstation and an SQL database server.Andover Continuum CyberStation HVAC Essentials Guide21
Chapter 1: Getting StartedNetwork ControllersThere are several types of Andover Continuum network controllers:zbCX1 Series Infinet bCX1 BACnet bCX1zNetController II serieszACX (57xx)All are Ethernet TCP/IP compatible. The first four contain at least oneInfinet port to allow communication with Infinet applicationcontrollers.The bCX1 series is a series of Infinet and native BACnet routers andcontroller/routers. The bCX1 Infinet device functions as a Ethernet-toInfinet field bus router. The bCX1 BACnet devices function as BACnet/IP-to-MS/TP field bus routers.The NetController II and ACX (57xx) are powerful CPUs with flashEPROM, providing the central network management functions forAndover Continuum building automation system. These networkcontrollers can be connected to individual IOU modules via a differentproprietary RS-485 protocol called ACC-LON.The ACX (57xx) includes the equivalent of a NetController, a powersupply, and an AC-1 access control module in one small package.22 Schneider Electric
Chapter 1: Getting StartedInfinet ControllersThese controllers include combinations of inputs and outputs for themonitoring and control of local sensors and devices. There is a widevariety of Infinet controllers (including i2 controllers); each device isdesigned for a specific purpose.Infinet controllers are connected to network controllers via theproprietary Infinet network.BACnet ControllersBACnet controllers communicate via the ASHRAE (American Societyof Heating, Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineers) protocol.This open protocol allows controllers to communicate with otherBACnet devices made by different manufacturers.These controllers include combinations of inputs and outputs for themonitoring and control of local sensors and devices. They areequivalent in function to the Infinet i2 Series controllers mentionedabove.BACnet controllers are connected to a bCX1 via the Master-Slave/Token Passing (MS/TP) network.WorkstationsA personal computer (PC) connected to the Continuum Ethernetnetwork runs the CyberStation software and database. The system cancontain a single workstation or multiple workstations, depending onthe site configuration.NetworksInfinet is Andover Continuum’s proprietary high-performance, tokenpassing LAN that allows Infinet application field controllers tocommunicate with each other and to a single network controller. Withrepeaters, it is possible to have 127 Infinet controllers on one InfinetnetworkAndover Continuum CyberStation HVAC Essentials Guide23
Chapter 1: Getting StartedThe LBus is the cable that connects IOU modules to a CX networkcontroller or via the LA-1 to a NetController or NetController II. Onlyone LBus can be connected to a CX network controller. Each LBus canhandle up to 32 IOUs.The BACnet MS/TP network is an RS-485 based industry standardLAN that allows BACnet b3 field controllers to communicate with eachother and to a single bCX1. It is possible to have 127 Infinet controllerson one MS/TP network.Note: For Continuum, It is possible to have 255 Infinet controllers onone MS/TP network (with a maximum of 127 per comm port).NetController I/O ModulesNetController I/O modules are specialized units that receive sensorinputs and activate equipment (valves, fans, chillers, and so on) andperform access control functions.The I/O modules, available in several configurations including input,output, mixed I/O, and display are listed in the following table:TypeInputOutput24 Schneider ElectricModuleUI-8-10UI-10-10VDI-6 ACDI-6 AC LO-2LO-2-OFunctionUniversal Input ModuleAC Digital Input ModuleDigital Input ModuleDigital Input/Output Module(for DIO-20)MilliAmp Input ModuleAnalog Output ModuleAnalog Output Module with overridesRelay Output ModuleRelay Output Module with overridesTriac Output ModuleLighting Output ModuleLighting Output Module withoverrides

Chapter 1: Getting StartedCyberStation SoftwareA key component of the Andover Continuum system is a Windowsbased application program called CyberStation that runs on a PCworkstation and interacts with the control system. AndoverContinuum’s other key software component is the database that storesall the vital information pertaining to the building automation controlsystem.CyberStationCyberStation provides a graphic user interface that can display andmanage data. This interface allows adjusting schedules and setpoints,acknowledging alarms, tracking temperature and humidity readings,and so on.Andover Continuum allows you to connect several CyberStationworkstations simultaneously to provide for the most flexibleconfiguration/control and monitoring operation available.26 Schneider Electric
Chapter 1: Getting StartedDatabaseThe information that describes the structure and operation of yourbuilding is stored in the CyberStation database. The values of eachpoint in the system, the settings for limits, the configuration of thehardware, the personal data of the personnel granted access to monitorand adjust a buildings HVAC systems, and more, are contained in thedatabase.The database engine that CyberStation uses is either Microsoft SQLExpress server or Microsoft Date Engine (MSDE) 2000.ObjectsThe components associated with your site (networks, workstations,controllers, sensors, and so on) are created, monitored, and controlledas objects in CyberStation. For example, for every controller you havein a building, CyberStation stores a controller object. When you havecreated an object for a piece of hardware, you can monitor, disable,change the settings for, and enable that equipment using that object inCyberStation. Objects represent every aspect of Andover Continuum’sbuilding control system, whether it is building security, lighting, orHVAC control.AttributesAn attribute is a characteristic of an object. All objects have attributesassociated with them. In most cases, there are several attributes thatdescribe an object. (Attributes are known as properties in BACnetobjects.)Andover Continuum CyberStation HVAC Essentials Guide27

Chapter 2: Configuring an HVAC SystemChapter 2Configuring an HVACSystemThis chapter contains step-by-step procedures for configuring an HVACnetwork in CyberStation, using NetController II controllers. Thechapter presents basic configuration tasks in the sequence that youwould typically perform them.So that you can more readily understand how the elements of an HVACnetwork work together, the procedures in this chapter cover basic setuptasks for a simple network. Each procedure provides cross references tothe CyberStation online help so that you can obtain complete, detailedinformation about all the options associated with a configuration task.Andover Continuum CyberStation HVAC Essentials Guide29
Chapter 2: Configuring an HVAC SystemTask 1: Open Continuum ExplorerObjects are the building blocks of your HVAC network. InCyberStation, objects are categorized by class. Areas, Schedules, andControllers are examples of object classes. An object’s attributes aredetermined by its object class, although the attribute values arespecific to the individual objects.Objects may represent:zPhysical devices, such as a controller or a workstationzFolders that are storage locations for objectszData, such as points, alarms and schedulesWhen you configure a network in CyberStation, you create the objectsthat correspond to the devices, folders, and data in your network, andyou specify their attribute values. Continuum Explorer is the tool thatyou use to configure and manage your network.Open Continuum Explorer1. Open CyberStation if it is not running on your workstation, andlogin.Note: You can also open CyberStation by clickingStart Programs Continuum Continuum Explorer.2. At the CyberStation main menu, click Explorer.Continuum Explorer opens. The navigation pane does not yetcontain any network objects or controllers.

Chapter 2: Configuring an HVAC SystemTask 2: Create a Network and a ControllerA network is a logical organization of controllers that are linked to eachother and have the ability to exchange data.Containers and Parent/Child ObjectsEach network in CyberStation has a hierarchical structure of objects.Many objects can be containers for other objects. For example, anetwork object contains all the controllers in that network.A container object is also called a parent object. All objects within thecontainer are child objects that are “owned” by the parent object. Theserelationships are important for organizing the many objects that makeup a network. They are also significant because you can apply settingsto container objects that affect all the child objects within them.32 Schneider Electric
