Before starting your i-Vu CCN Plus

i-Vu CCN Plus systems consist of both

• i-Vu CCN Plus appliance (i-Vu web server)

• i-Vu device managers (i-Vu CCN Routers or i-Vu Links) i-Vu device managers

• Are equivalent to CCN-to-Ethernet converters (the same CCN rules apply)

•

Enable connection of a Carrier Comfort Network (CCN) to an Ethernet-based Local Area Network (LAN)

• Can function as a CCN Ethernet Gateway and be installed on the primary Bus 0

•

Can function as a bridge to create secondary CCN Communication Buses, in order to extend a CCN over an Ethernet LAN within a campus or building

IMPORTANT!

Only ONE i-Vu device manager must be configured as the Gateway!

CAUTION!

The following MUST be completed prior to powering up the i-Vu CCN Plus web server.

Step 1: Have documentation ready and Tools installed

1

Print the i-Vu CCN Plus Installation Guide and Owner’s Guide from the Documentation CD.

2

Install the design tools, including ViewBuilder and ApplicationBuilder by inserting the Tools CD into your

PC. If the installation is not automatically started, follow these steps: a) Double-click the Windows folder > Disk 1 > InstData > Setup > setup.exe. b) Complete the Installation Wizard.

3

If needed, print the i-Vu Link and/or i-Vu CCN Router Installation Guide from the Documentation CD.

4

If you will be integrating third party devices using an i-Vu Link, then print the applicable Third Party

Integration Guide from the Documentation CD.

5

Follow the rest of this document to set up your entire system.

Step 2: Install i-Vu CCN device managers

Refer to the i-Vu CCN Router or i-Vu Link Installation Guide for mounting and wiring instructions. Download these from the Documentation CD.

You need the instructions in that document to:

•

Signal Ground (Pin 5)

Net- (Pin 2)

2

Launch Network Service Tool and connect to the i-Vu device manager. Each i-Vu device manager defaults to Gateway functionality and has a CCN address of 0,1.

CAUTION!

Every CCN device must have a unique CCN address on the CCN network! Do not use Bus 0,

Element 238, as it is automatically assigned to i-Vu CCN Plus.

3

Upload the i-Vu device manager.

4

Change the address of the i-Vu device manager using the Display/Set Properties function.

5

Access Service Configuration Table IP_CONF to enter the following configuration options.

NOTE A static IP address is required, as DHCP is not supported.

○

○

Host IP Address - enter the IP address for the device manager, as provided by the LAN administrator. (allowable entries for xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx: xxx is a decimal number between 0 - 255)

Subnet Mask - enter the IP address for the device manager, as provided by the LAN administrator.

(allowable entries for xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx: xxx is a decimal number between 0 - 255)

○ Default Gateway - enter the IP address of the IP gateway (typically a router on the Ethernet LAN), as provided by the LAN administrator.

CCN ENET Configuration

Device Type

○

Select 0 if this device manager is the Gateway. (NOTE Only one gateway is permitted per system.)

○ Select 1 if this device manager is the Bridge.

If using the Router as a Bridge, enter CCN/Ethernet Gateway IP (the IP address of the i-Vu device manager that is configured as the Gateway). This is the same address that was entered in the Host IP address for the CCN Gateway.

NOTE Record the IP address of the gateway, because it is necessary to install the i-Vu CCN Plus.

6

Repeat the above steps for each i-Vu device manager used in the CCN system. i-Vu CCN Plus 4.2 3

Before starting your i-Vu CCN Plus

Step 4: Get your CCN system ready

1

Have a list of all of the devices at your job site, along with the name of each device, the bus and element numbers, and their respective locations.

2

For a retrofit project which is already using CCN global and network schedules, you must have a list of all existing CCN schedule numbers, systems using global and network schedules, and all global schedule masters.

3

Verify that each device has a unique element number because duplicates will not scan correctly.

CAUTION Do not use Bus 0, Element 238. It is automatically assigned to the i-Vu CCN Plus device.

4

Once equipment is scanned in, i-Vu CCN Plus begins broadcasting a 24/7 schedule to local CCN schedule# 64.

NOTE

See i-Vu CCN Plus CCN schedules (page 28) in this document or consult the Help files for more

information.

5

i-Vu CCN Plus allows a maximum of 750 controllers and device managers: (140 per i-Vu CCN Router, 140 per i-Vu Link).

NOTE CCN Bridges and Ethernet Gateways configured as Bridges are each counted as a piece of equipment by the i-Vu CCN Plus.

Set up your i-Vu CCN Plus

The i-Vu CCN Plus device is set by default for DHCP. For initial start-up and configuration, connect the i-Vu

CCN Plus device directly to your computer. Make sure that the laptop’s Network Settings are also configured for DHCP.

NOTES

•

Once initial start-up of the i-Vu CCN Plus is complete, it can be connected to the building LAN, if one exists. This will require using the Management Tool to set the IP address of the i-Vu CCN Plus to a static address. If you wish to connect your own computer to the building LAN, you will also be required to set the computer's IP address to a setting provided by the customer.

•

After initial configuration, if you have difficulty accessing Management Tool from Main Menu > System

Options > General tab, open your browser and type http://networkname:8080 (network name is the name entered during initial start up).

CAUTION!

• Mount your i-Vu CCN Plus web server in an air conditioned space to avoid damage.

• Do NOT open the i-Vu CCN Plus web server! Opening the web server voids your warranty.

Customize the navigation tree and scan for devices

To construct your i-Vu CCN Plus system

You will scan your CCN network and fill in your navigation tree on the System Setup page. During the scanning process, i-Vu CCN Plus automatically accesses tables and assigns a graphic from the Library for each device found on the bus.

The navigation tree is a hierarchical view that represents the areas and the equipment in a system. An area is a logical group of areas or equipment. Arranging your navigation tree can be done before or after scanning for devices.

•

If you set up your areas in the navigation tree

Working with Universal and Comfort Controllers (CCN)

Universal Controllers (UC) and Comfort Controllers (CC) that are scanned into the system in System Setup will be assigned a generic equipment and view file, which have setpoint control, but no additional pre-mapped

I/O. In order to have additional I/O points available for graphic display, you must use ApplicationBuilder to create the custom equipment files to support your application. These files will map the CCN variables to i-Vu

BACnet points.

In ApplicationBuilder, you can create CCN Values Only, Read Integration, or Link Integration custom equipment for UC/CC that are tailored for your specific application.

ApplicationBuilder can also create some stand-alone applications for Consumable Reports for:

•

Energy Meters

•

Non-linear flow meters

•

Energy (BTU) consumption

•

Equipment Runtime

NOTE These options can also be added to CCN Values Only and Link Integration custom equipment and only require mapping of the points to be monitored.

Once the equipment files and the view file are uploaded to i-Vu CCN Plus (page 16), these points can be

assigned to custom graphic elements, which are created in ViewBuilder.

Because CC’s will likely control multiple pieces of HVAC equipment, expansion controllers associated with

CC’s must be added to i-Vu CCN Plus from System Setup. This allows separate setpoint and schedule control of these multiple physical equipments from a single CC. These expansion controllers support the additional equipment and view files required for these “separate” systems.

Create custom equipment files for UC/CC's that link only to CNN points

ApplicationBuilder creates an equipment file for the UC/CC, which maps the I/O points that are required for one or more applications. Once these files are created, these linked I/O points can then be associated with

ViewBuilder graphics.

NOTE To have a Prime Variable, (a temperature that is displayed in a color oval when the CC or UC is shown in a site or area equipment list), the Schedule and Setpoint option must be selected when creating the equipment file.

In ApplicationBuilder, you can create some pre-engineered, stand-alone equipment applications with a view for Consumable Reports for Energy Meters (electric, gas, water, steam, generic), non-linear flow meters, energy (BTU) consumption, and equipment runtime.

These options can be added to CCN Values Only and Link Integration custom equipments. Mapping the points allows monitoring.

NOTES

•

One meter and one Runtime may be added to equipment.

•

There is an application for a CCN Vertical Pack unit. This is a CC with special software and BEST++.

While this controller can be discovered in i-Vu CCN Plus in System Setup as a Vertical Pack, none of the possible selected options can be auto-discovered at this time, so only a base view will be generated. This application allows the Installer to generate a correct equipment and view file based on the selected options.

Working with Terminal System Managers

A Terminal System Manager (TSM) that is scanned into the system through System Setup will be assigned an auto-generated equipment that represents Group 1 in the TSM. Group 1 is the default group which can control the setpoints and occupancy for all of the existing zones, or up to 16 specifically selected zones. This equipment is pre-mapped and requires no further action.

All other Groups or Zone equipment must be added as expansion equipments. You must use

ApplicationBuilder to create the necessary additional Group or Zone equipment files. These files will map the

CCN variables to i-Vu BACnet points and will replace the default equipment in the expansion equipments that have been added for the additional Groups or Zones.

Once the equipment files are created and uploaded to i-Vu CCN Plus, these points can be assigned to custom graphic elements, which are created in ViewBuilder.

Expansion equipment associated with a TSM must be added to i-Vu CCN Plus from System Setup to support additional Groups and Zones. You must create separate equipment and view files in ApplicationBuilder for each expansion equipment.

Important points when setting up your TSM in i-Vu CCN Plus

•

Each group or zone must be added as a new equipment

•

TSM’s can only be on Bus 0

•

Only the gateway can be Bus 0

•

The gateway can support 140 devices and 200 equipments

•

A fully utilized TSM (12 Groups/64 Zones) would take 76 equipment files

NOTE If you have 2 TSM’s with 8 Groups and 37 Zones in each, it will take 45 equipment files for each

TSM or a total of 90 equipment files from a possible 200. This would allow another 110 equipments for every other controller on Bus 0.

Create custom equipment files in ApplicationBuilder for Terminal System Managers

(TSM)

ApplicationBuilder creates an equipment and view file for the TSM temperature zones and control groups. The equipment file contains points that you will finish formatting in i-Vu CCN Plus after uploading it.

The user specifies the air source(s) that the TSM will communicate with by configuring its linkage function. A system can consist either of one TSM communicating with 1 to 4 air sources, or of 1 to 4 TSMs communicating with a single air source.

Configure the path to the source of the point for TSM Groups and Zones

A generic list of points is created in i-Vu CCN Plus when the TSM Group or Zone is scanned in to the system or when you upload the equipment file.

You must initially revise the address of the path for every point!

1

Select the TSM Group or Zone in the navigation tree, then click Properties > Network Points tab.

2

To substitute the correct Group or Zone number where the double X (XX) is in each path, click the

Search/Replace button under the Address column.

3

Enter "XX" in the Search field and enter the appropriate Zone or Group number in the Replace field. This will update all of the paths for that Zone or Group.

IMPORTANT!

TSM Zone 1 requires an extra step because one point has a slightly different name than in Zones 2 thru 64.

The setpoint offset point in Zone 1 is inadvertently named STPOFF, while it is named SPTOFF in the remaining

Zones.

This causes an error because the point is incorrectly mapped in the template for Zone 1, even though it is correctly mapped for Zones 2 through 64.

You must change SPTOFF to STPOFF for this one zone!

Example:

CCN://LINK/TZDSP01/SPTOFFST must be changed to CCN://LINK/TZDSP01/STPOFFST.

Manage setpoints

The Setpoint area, as shown on a standard equipment graphic, indicates the base setpoint values (Occupied

High/Low, Unoccupied High/Low). i-Vu CCN Plus reads these values back periodically, typically within 10 seconds. The timing can vary based on bus traffic, the number of controllers in the database, and several other variables. Setpoints that are changed in the field via another user interface (Network Service Tool,

ComfortVIEW, etc.) are displayed in i-Vu CCN Plus as soon as they are detected.

You can, at any time, change the setpoints from i-Vu CCN Plus graphics by using the slider or by entering numeric values directly. Updated setpoints are transmitted to the controller when you Accept the changes.

Setpoints can also be changed via the setpoint tables that are discovered when a controller is scanned.

The various color bars are used to indicate adherence to or deviation from the setpoint. You can change the current default settings for setpoint deviation.

Alarms

A message is sent from an alarm source to i-Vu CCN Plus to notify you that certain conditions exist, such as a piece of equipment that has stopped running or a temperature that is too high. When i-Vu CCN Plus receives an alarm, it displays information about the alarm on the Alarms page. i-Vu CCN Plus can also perform alarm actions

(page 34) to inform personnel of the condition. An alarm source can also send a return-to-normal message when

the alarm condition returns to its normal state.

Alarm sources and the alarms they generate are assigned to categories, such as HVAC Critical or HVAC

Maintenance, to help you work with related alarms.

NOTE

Besides the alarms that you set up, i-Vu CCN Plus has built-in system and equipment alarms.

View, acknowledge, and delete alarms

You can view, acknowledge, and delete alarms received by i-Vu CCN Plus. Alarms are hierarchical and can be applied to an area, which then affects all equipment in that area.

To view all alarms, you must be at the system level in the navigation tree.

•

•

Red —Critical alarms need to be acknowledged.

Yellow—Non-critical alarms need to be acknowledged.

•

Grey—No alarms need to be acknowledged.

Click the system-wide alarms button to view all alarms in the system.

You must acknowledge alarms that have been set up to require acknowledgement. Right-click alarm message to print, acknowledge, or delete. i-Vu CCN Plus closes an alarm when all of the following have occurred:

• You acknowledge the alarm (if required)

• i-Vu CCN Plus receives a return-to-normal (if required)

• i-Vu CCN Plus performs all alarm actions

To save alarm information before deleting, select Alarms > Reports tab > Alarms > click Run button.

DHCP - If you can't access i-Vu CCN Plus with the Internet Explorer by PC name

Notes about i-Vu CCN Plus and DHCP addressing i-Vu CCN Plus is configured to automatically obtain an IP address using DHCP. When i-Vu CCN Plus is turned on, it sends a request out its LAN cable to a DHCP server and asks the server to supply it with its IP configuration.

This IP configuration consists of:

• an IP address

• subnet mask

• default gateway

• DNS information

If a DHCP server is not available, as in the case of connecting i-Vu CCN Plus directly to a PC, i-Vu CCN Plus will assign an internal IP address to its Network Interface Card. The PC that is directly connected to i-Vu CCN Plus will also assign itself an IP address if it is set up for DHCP. The network portion of each of these IP addresses are identical, 169.254.xxx.xxx . The remaining two octets of each IP address will be different. This ensures that communication is possible on this IP network consisting of i-Vu CCN Plus and the PC. i-Vu CCN Plus 4.2 53

Troubleshooting i-Vu CCN Plus

i-Vu CCN Plus device connected to PC with a crossover cable

1

Ensure that the i-Vu CCN Plus web server is powered.

2

Check that a valid Ethernet connection exists. (See Example 1 (page 55).)

3

Open a Command window (Start > Run, type "cmd" <enter>) and ping the i-Vu web server’s default name.

(See example 3). If four successful replies are observed, then check Internet Explorer to determine if a proxy

server or automatic configuration script is being used and disable them. (See Example 2 (page 56).)

4

Try accessing i-Vu CCN Plus again.

5

If after performing step 3, i-Vu CCN Plus still isn’t accessible from Internet Explorer, or the Ping command in step 3 failed,

○

○

Open a Command window (Start > Run, type “cmd” <enter>) and type in the following commands:

“nbtstat –R” <enter>

Type in “ipconfig /flushdns” <enter>

6

If i-Vu CCN Plus is still inaccessible from Internet Explorer, try pinging the i-Vu CCN Plus web server again.

7

If the i-Vu CCN Plus web server still does not respond to the PING command, try pinging the PC name of the

PC connected to the i-Vu CCN Plus web server. If this is successful, reboot i-Vu CCN Plus, and try pinging i-Vu

CCN Plus.

8

If it still fails the PING test, connect a monitor to the i-Vu CCN Plus web server and reboot.

At the end of the boot process, i-Vu CCN Plus will display its IP configuration. If the Server IP address displayed is something other than 169.254.xxx.xxx, i-Vu CCN Plus is not setup to use DHCP, but instead, is assigned a static IP address. In this case, to access i-Vu CCN Plus, it is necessary to configure the IP settings of the PC’s Network

Interface Card (NIC) to be on the same network as the i-Vu CCN Plus web server. After reconfiguring the NIC, access i-Vu CCN Plus with I.E. using the server IP address shown on the monitor.

NOTE If pinging the PC name fails, the network connection on the PC is either disabled, disconnected, or in need of repair. Call Carrier Control Systems Support for assistance.

i-Vu CCN Plus device plugged into LAN

1

Ensure i-Vu CCN Plus is on.

2

Check that a valid Ethernet connection exists. (See Example 1 (page 55).)

3

Open a Command window (See Example 3 (page 57).) and ping i-Vu CCN Plus by its default name (ivu).

•

If pinging is successful, then the problem is most likely in the PC’s browser settings. Check Internet Explorer

to determine if a proxy server or automatic configuration script is being used (See Example 2 (page 56)).

•

If a proxy server is being used, you must add the name of the i-Vu CCN Plus device to the exceptions list of the proxy server. (See Example 4)

•

If an auto-configuration script is being used, adding i-Vu CCN Plus to the exceptions list is not possible.

Contact the local Information Technology group for assistance.

•

If pinging fails but i-Vu CCN Plus's name is resolved to an IP address as shown below, the problem could be that pinging is disabled on the LAN.

54 i-Vu CCN Plus 4.2

Troubleshooting i-Vu CCN Plus

•

If this is the case, check the proxy server settings in Internet Explorer as in Example 2 (page 56).

• If the problem isn’t with the proxy server settings and pinging is enabled on the LAN, failing to ping successfully could mean that the i-Vu CCN Plus name is resolving to an incorrect IP address.

Try the following:

1

Open a Command window (See Example 3 (page 57)) and type in the following commands: “nbtstat –R”

<enter>.

2

Type in “ipconfig /flushdns” <enter>.

3

Try Pinging the i-Vu CCN Plus web server again by name.

• If successful, try accessing i-Vu CCN Plus with Internet Explorer. If not successful try accessing i-Vu in Internet

Explorer by IP address, i.e. http://161.145.81.238. If this is successful, contact the local Information

Technology group to resolve this issue.

•

If pinging fails with any other error than shown in the graphic above, contact the local Information Technology group to assist you. The IT group may want to know what IP address the i-Vu CCN Plus web server is actually using. To determine this, connect a monitor to the i-Vu CCN Plus DVI port in the back of the i-Vu CCN Plus web server and power down. Now power up the i-Vu CCN Plus web server and the IP configuration information will be displayed at the end of the boot process.

Example 1: Determining if a valid Ethernet connection exists

Ensure that a proper Ethernet connection is present by going to Start> Settings> Control Panel and doubleclicking on Network Connections.

Under LAN or High Speed Internet, find your Network Interface Card icon and ensure that a red “X” is not displayed over the icon.

Note that in the following figure:

•

The Local Area Connection is enabled and connected

•

The Wireless Connection is enabled, but not connected

•

The two other connections are disabled

If the connection that is used for i-Vu does show a red “X”, then check that the Ethernet cable is fully plugged in and that the correct type of Ethernet cable is being used, i.e. crossover or patch cable. i-Vu CCN Plus 4.2 55
