DMX512 Serial Comms Setup

This section describes communications setup, configuration, and relationships to inputs, zones, and comms loss feature when using controllers with DMX512 systems.

Communication Parameter Setup

Follow the steps below to set up communication parameters when using a controller with DMX512.

  1. From the MAIN MENU, select SETUP > COMMS.

    The COMMS SETUP screen displays:

  2. In the COMMS SETUP screen, select SERIAL COMMS.

    The SERIAL COMMS screen displays:

  3. Select the DMX512 option under 485 mode.

    The controller screen will automatically change to show setup fields for the DMX512 mode.

  4. Enter in the desired starting slot and low and high thresholds via INPUT SETUP screen.

    NOTE: See Input Setup to setup DMX512 high and low event thresholds.

Configuring the Controller When Using DMX512

The minimal required configuration is to setup panel configuration, make inputs active, assign inputs sources to zones, make zones active, select zone logic, and assign desired breakers to zones. This is what needs to be done to control breakers from DMX512. All normal controller functions and logical capabilities continue to be available when the DMX512 mode is selected. Combining DMX512 with controller features, such as local inputs or schedules, may be preferred in some applications.

NOTE: The default terminal type is set to Maintained Normally Open. Terminals 1–16 are assigned to inputs 1–16 respectively by default. When configured for Maintained Normally Open or Normally Closed contact, terminals will synchronize to the current contact state when the controller is powered up. This behavior may or may not be desired when using DMX512, especially where no contacts will be connected to a terminal. To disable power up synchronization, it is recommended that the terminal configuration be changed to Momentary Toggle, or remove terminals from assignment to the inputs.

DMX512 Communications Options

Option Value Description
Starting slot 1–512 512 Addressable slot positions are available for assignment to inputs 1–256.
Low threshold 0% – Low Threshold Percentage at which breaker shall change from ON state to OFF state. Default = 0%
High threshold 100% – High Threshold Percentage at which breaker changes from OFF state to ON state. Default = 1%
NOTE: No change in state will occur when percentage is between the high and low threshold.

DMX512 Relationship to Inputs

The controller responds to 512 contiguous DMX512 slots. These 512 DMX slots can be assigned (or mapped) to the 256 inputs individually; One slot per input. When a DMX512 slot increases beyond the high threshold, the corresponding input will change to ON. When a DMX512 slot decreases below the low threshold, then the corresponding input will change to OFF. DMX512 changes interact with input changes from other sources on a last-event basis.

DMX512 Relationship to Zones

Zones that are configured to respond to an input will respond to the corresponding DMX512 slot. By default, zone 1–16’s control sources are input 1–16 respectively and zone 17–256 have no control sources assigned. The zone to input relationship can be reconfigured on NF3500G4 controllers.

NOTE: See Control Source Setup for zone setup.

DMX512 Relationship to Comms Loss

The comms loss feature is available when using the DMX512 mode. It functions differently from the standard comms loss and restore actions. The following table summarizes the differences in behavior.

DMX512 with Comms Loss Feature

Loss Behavior Resumption Behavior
Default Action Standard DMX Standard DMX
ON Override set to ON Override set to ON No change to override state Override released
OFF Override set to OFF Override set to OFF No change to override state Override released
LAST STATE Override set to current state, ON or OFF Override set to current state, ON or OFF No change to override state Override released
NO ACTION No change to override state No change to override state No change to override state Override released
RUN Override released Override released No change to override state Override released

Blink Notice for DMX512

DMX512 mode allows blink notice to occur on circuits when they are configured for blink notice and are commanded OFF. See Blink Type in the section Setting a Blink Type in Panel Setup.

NOTE: Breakers should not be configured for blink notice if blink notice is not desired.

Setting Comms Loss Action

The action of a zone can be set in the event of an extended loss of communications with a building automation system (BAS).

NOTE: This feature should be enabled only when the controller is being used as part of a BAS and the BAS is continuously communicating to the controller.

To enable or disable COMMS LOSS ACTION, follow these steps:

  1. From the MAIN MENU, select SETUP > COMMS > COMMS LOSS ACTION.

    The COMMS LOSS ACTION screen displays:

  2. Configure the options listed in COMMS LOSS ACTION Screen Options.

    • Set up circuit breaker timing

    • Set clock date/time, geographic location, and daylight savings time (DST) options

    • Set controller name

Setting up Circuit Breaker Timing

Circuit breaker timing settings are used to control the length of time between a blink notice and when the breakers are turned OFF, the minimum amount of time between successive switching operations, and the amount of time the controller waits to verify that a circuit breaker is in its commanded state (ON or OFF).

To set up circuit breaker timing, follow these steps:

  1. From the MAIN MENU screen, select SETUP > CONTROLLER > BREAKER TIMING.

    The BREAKER TIMING screen displays:

  2. Configure the BREAKER TIMING options listed in Circuit Breaker Blink Time Options.

Circuit Breaker Blink Time Options

Option Description
Blink-to-OFF

The time delay between the blinking of the circuits and the time the circuit breakers are to turn OFF.

Default = 5 minutes

Range = 2–30 minutes

Stagger Delay

The time period between circuit breaker operations when multiple circuit breakers are requested to change at the same time.

Default = 0.1 seconds

Range = 0.1–1 seconds

Verify Delay

The time delay between the switching of circuit breakers and the verification that the circuit breakers reached the commanded state.

Default = 1 second

Range = 1–8 seconds

Pulse Duration*

The amount of time that power is interrupted to a sweep switch, allowing the switch to reach the OFF state before the circuit breaker returns to an ON state.

Default = 5 seconds

Range = 1–10 seconds

Pulse Repeat* The amount of time assigned between pulse intervals. Turns the sweep switch OFF allowing the circuit breaker to return to an ON state.
NOTE: These values apply to all circuit breakers in the system.

Setting up the Clock
