CAUTION

When working on a network with multiple firmware revisions, always connect to the operator interface at the field panel with the newest firmware revision. Otherwise, you cannot view features in newer firmware revisions, or the field panel may coldstart.

TCP/IP Protocol Compatibility TC Compact Series controllers with BACnet/IP ALN provide the following:

● 100% compatibility with the TCP/IP protocol suite.

● Support of Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and Domain Name

Servers (DNS).

● Support and auto detection of 10Base-T and 100Base-TX Ethernet.

Required IP Addresses TALON BACnet/IP ALN uses:

● One IP address per device (field panel or workstation).

● One additional shared IP address per ALN for the multicast group (when using multicast optimization).

Device Registration Devices register with the DHCP server and Domain Name Server, if either is present.

15 | 93

Address Assignment IP addresses are dynamically assigned by the DHCP server.

If an address changes or is not recognized, the field panel firmware lets you release the dynamically assigned IP address and then reconnect the field panel to the DHCP server, accepting a new IP address assignment in the process.

If there is no DHCP server at the site, you must manually assign static IP addresses as part of the startup system configuration.

Physical Addressing Each device on the BACnet/IP ALN has a hard-wired MAC address, which is printed on the product label.

Port Numbers The default TCP/IP port number for TALON BACnet/IP ALN communications is 5033.

You can change the TCP/IP port number if necessary.

All devices on the network must use the same TCP/IP port number.

You must specify a UDP port number when using multicast optimization. The default UDP port number is 8.

Network Bandwidth BACnet/IP ALN does not add significantly to your network overhead. Burst conditions for this product occur during:

● Database downloading after coldstart.

● Database uploading.

● Trend data uploading.

● Burst of alarms or COVs.

Data Exchange BACnet/IP ALN sends and receives TALON data in TCP/IP packets.

BACnet/IP ALN synchronizes global data between all devices. Each device runs a global data replication engine that communicates with peer devices to:

● Exchange new and changed global data.

● Resolve conflicts when data does not match.

Device Naming Conventions Field panel DNS node names are limited to 30 characters and cannot contain spaces.

Network Security BACnet/IP ALN uses your intranet security within the firewall and a username/password combination to restrict access outside the firewall. You can use VLAN to improve internal security.

Principles of Field Panel Operation

16 | 93

The TC Compact Series gathers information about the environment of your facility, as well as the equipment it monitors and controls. The TC Compact receives updated information, stores information, executes control programs, handles operator commands and requests, and makes control management decisions. At the same time, the TC Compact also translates decisions into actions and allows the operator to observe those actions. The operator can also override and modify the decisions made by the TC Compact.

Gathering and Processing Field Inputs The TC Compact samples the information at all field inputs, or points, approximately once each second, and stores numerical representations of the sampled values.

Under certain conditions, some points require additional handling. The TC Compact initiates required actions after these points are checked against previously-entered configuration data.

Example A log entry might be required in a point history file every 20 samples, or notification of an alarm condition could be sent to the operator as a point crossed the alarm threshold.

Executing Control Programs The TC Compact continuously executes a user-defined set of instructions called the control program. This program uses the most recent point values and the most recent clock time. The control program does the following:

● Evaluates control strategies.

● Uses an internal calendar and time clock for time-based functions.

● Updates point values and commands field points according to the program results.

● Sends messages or reports to proper terminal locations as needed.

Example During occupied hours (7:00 A.M. through 5:00 P.M.) a fan:

● Turns ON if the room temperature rises above 80°F (27°C).

● Turns OFF when the temperature drops below 73°F (23°C).

Between 5:00 P.M. and 7:00 A.M. the fan turns OFF regardless of the room temperature.

If the temperature rises to 85°F (29°C) at any time, the TC Compact sends an alarm message to an alarm printer.

These specifications can be met by:

1. Connecting a room temperature sensor/transmitter and fan starter output to the TC Compact.

2. Defining the room temperature sensor with a high alarm limit of 85°F (29°C) and the fan points in the TC Compact database.

3. Writing a short control program that defines your control strategy.

4. Enabling the execution for that portion of the control program.

To perform this control strategy, the TC Compact:

17 | 93

● Continuously executes the control program.

● Samples a current or voltage signal representing the room temperature and updates the value associated with that temperature in its memory.

– If the temperature rises to 85°F (29°C), then the TC Compact sends an alarm message to the printer.

● Checks the current time once per second.

– Between 5:00 P.M. and 7:00 A.M., the fan remains OFF.

– Between 7:00 A.M. and 5:00 P.M., the control program checks the current value of the temperature and sends the appropriate ON or OFF command to the fan starter.

If the ON command is issued, the TC Compact updates the value of the starter point in its memory to reflect the current state of the fan.

System Program The TC Compact contains a non-volatile system program called firmware, which can be upgraded in the field. The firmware is stored in Flash ROM memory, which keeps it virtually immune to all forms of power fluctuations or failure, including battery failure.

For more information on Flash ROM memory, see Memory [➙ 30].

General functionality of the firmware includes:

● Executing control programs.

● Communicating between other field panels and the workstation.

● Monitoring points.

● Managing point-related information.

● Keeping track of real time (both clock and calendar time).

● Executing self-test and error detection in the TC Compact.

License Manager License Manager adds applications or functionality to a field panel without the need to replace the hardware or perform a firmware flash. Field panels with Firmware Revision

3.1 or later support the License Management attribute.

Contact your Siemens Solution Partner, Authorized TALON Dealer for more information on applications and functionality that can be activated through License Manager.

License Manager Definitions

● A feature is an application or additional functionality that can be added to a field panel without the need to replace the hardware. Some features require a firmware flash.

● A license is the code provided by Siemens Industry to unlock a feature.

● The ID_STRING is a unique identifier that distinguishes an individual piece of hardware. It is composed of the panel's part number, revision, year and week of manufacture, and serial number. Therefore, a license for one field panel will not work on another field panel.

● An Entitlement contains the license(s) ordered.

● An Entitlement ID is the SAP Purchase Order number or Reference number from the Advanced Shipping notice and your 3 character organization code.

TALON Automation Networking

18 | 93

How does License Manager Work?

Field panels can either be ordered with licensed features and functionality pre-loaded, for example, FLN support, or upgraded to add special features, for example, TX-I/O island bus support.

The installation of some features and licenses require that the field panel be coldstarted, while others do not.

Any or all of the licensed features can be activated at any time using licenses acquired from Siemens.

When the field panel is powered, the firmware reviews the inventory of installed features, comparing that list to the License Vault, where all installed licenses are stored. Every feature with a corresponding license is initiated and run. Because licenses are loaded into non-volatile memory, powering down the field panel will not erase them.

TALON Automation Networking The following levels of networking provide varying levels of system integration in the TALON Automation System.

● Management Level Network (MLN)

● Automation Level Network (ALN)

● Field Level Network (FLN) These systems also use a number of network protocols that add functionality or provide support for third-party devices.

Management Level Network The Management Level Network (MLN) is the communications connection between individual TALON View workstations. It allows multiple TALON View users to access the entire TALON Automation System.

● An MLN is a TCP/IP Server-client network, and usually resides on the corporate

LAN.

● TALON Automation Systems without a TALON View workstation do not have a

Management Level Network.

Automation Level Network The TALON Automation Level Network (ALN) provides field panel-to-field panel and TALON View workstation-to-field panel communication. The ALN types are:

● BACnet/IP ALN

● BACnet Master-Slave/Token Passing (MS/TP) ALN

Simultaneous ALN Access More than one operator or field panel can access the network at one time. For example, as one operator accesses the system, another operator can access the system at another terminal (or from a remote site using a modem). This ensures that field panels can send alarm information to the alarm printer even as an operator accesses other information.

19 | 93

How Information Moves Through the Network When an operator issues a command over the ALN network through a field panel, that field panel validates the command, determines where to send it, and then passes the command to the destination over the network.

Example In the figure Commanding Over an Automation Level Network, the operator at the TALON View workstation, located in the lower level of the building, issues a command to control the main air-handling unit (AHU) of the building. This command is sent by the communication network to the field panel located on the top floor.

Figure 1: Figure. Commanding Over an Automation Level Network.

20 | 93

BACnet/IP Automation Level Network BACnet field panels communicate over a customer's Ethernet cabling and IP network using the ASHRAE Building Automation and Control Networking (BACnet) protocol.

● One TALON View workstation can administer up to 64 Ethernet-based BACnet/IP

ALNs.

● Up to 100 BACnet/IP field panels can reside on a BACnet/IP network (1000 maximum per TALON View workstation).

Figure 2: BACnet/IP ALN Network Example.

BACnet MS/TP Automation Level Network BACnet field panels communicate over a customer’s Ethernet cabling and IP network using the ASHRAE Building Automation and Control Networking (BACnet) MS/TP protocol.

● One TALON View workstation can administer up to 64 Ethernet based MS/TP

ALNs.

● Up to 10 BACnet MS/TP ALN field panels can reside on an MS/TP network segment (1000 maximum per TALON View workstation). Network segments must be physically separated.

● BACnet devices (field panels or TALON View workstations) can be set up as one of the following:

– A standard BACnet MS/TP device

– A BACnet Broadcast Management Device (BBMD)

– A foreign device

21 | 93

Figure 3: BACnet MS/TP ALN with MS/TP FLN Network Example.

Field Level Network The TALON Field Level Network (FLN) is a data communications network that passes information between an FLN device or devices and an Automation Level Network (ALN) device, usually within one building. FLNs consist of devices that communicate using MS/TP.

Compact Series Backup Batteries 0

28 | 93

Compact Series Backup Batteries The TC Compact Series contains one non-rechargeable AA (LR6) battery and one non-rechargeable coin cell (BR2032) battery that serve as a power backup in the event of a power failure. The batteries only discharge during a power loss. They do not recharge.

Only use a 3.6 Volt lithium battery in TC Compact models with extended temperature range operation.

Only use a 1.5 Volt alkaline battery in standard TC Compact models.

• The 3.6 Volt lithium battery is designed to operate at both high and low temperature extremes, and it provides a long service life in an extended temperature environment.

• The 1.5 Volt alkaline battery is not guaranteed to provide backup protection in models with extended temperature range operation, even if the controller is operating in a room-temperature environment.

• If a 3.6 Volt lithium battery is used in standard TC Compact models, the battery quickly discharges and provides much less backup protection than a 1.5 Volt alkaline battery.

AA Battery

Batteries Failure to change DEAD alkaline battery will eventually result in battery leakage, causing permanent damage and loss of building control.

Failure to change a DEAD lithium battery will result in loss of trend and database if not backed up, causing loss of data or building control.

Establish a preventative maintenance schedule based on expected battery usage and life cycle.

● The AA battery maintains databases and volatile data, such as Trend, in RAM when power to the controller is off.

● If reserve power in the AA battery is low, the battery status is reported as LOW or DEAD and the red LOW BATT LED on the field panel is lit. When this occurs, replace the battery; do not wait until it goes dead.

● Using PPCL and the $BATT point, the TC Compact can be programmed to signal an alarm printer and an operator terminal with a battery replacement message.

For more information, see the TALON Powers Process Control Language (PPCL) User's Manual (588-583).

Compact Series Backup Batteries 0

Using Auto Restore and Database Backup to Flash

● RAM is cleared if the AA battery is dead, disabled, or missing when power to the field panel is off. In this case, if Auto Restore and Database Backup to Flash have been enabled, the database reloads in RAM when power returns; however, Trend data is lost.

● If a power failure lasts longer than the protection offered by the battery, and Auto Restore and Database Backup to Flash are not enabled, the information stored in RAM must be either reloaded from a TALON View workstation, Datamate Base or Datamate Advanced, or entered again by an operator.

Coin Cell Battery

Batteries Failure to change a DEAD lithium coin cell battery will result in loss of current time-date, which may cause loss of data or building control.

Establish a preventative maintenance schedule based on expected battery usage and life cycle.

● The coin cell battery maintains the current time-date in the Real Time Clock (RTC) when power to the field panel is off.

● There is no physical status on the field panel for a dead coin cell battery.

● If the coin cell battery is dead or missing when power is off, then RTC time-date is reset as follows:

– If the field panel resides on an ALN with a TALON View workstation, the

TALON View workstation sets the time-date when the field panel returns to the network.

– If the field panel resides on an ALN without a TALON View workstation, the time-date is synchronized with the network time during the next automatic daily time update.

For more information on time synchronization, see the TALON Firmware User's Manual (588-580) (588-580).

1) Installing a coin cell battery provides up to 10 years backup power of the Real Time Clock for non-rooftop applications, and 18 months backup power for rooftop applications. These are typical accumulated times while power is off.

Memory The TALON firmware (program), its point database, PPCL program, trend data, and other information reside in the field panel memory. Memory consists of two areas:

Flash Read-Only Memory (Flash ROM) and Random Access Memory (RAM).

Flash Read-Only Memory (Flash ROM) Flash Read-Only Memory (Flash ROM) is the non-volatile, permanent memory of the TC Compact, which stores the operating system, the TALON firmware, and the language files. A limited amount of secondary storage is provided in Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM) for the field panel address or name, communication speeds, and other set-up parameters. In the event of a power surge, a power loss, or failure of the battery backup, the Flash ROM and EEPROM contents stay intact.

TC Compact Flash ROM size cannot be upgraded in the field.

Compressed ROM The TC Compact has a large amount of high performance RAM. To allow for future features and to provide high system performance, the TALON firmware is stored in ROM in a compressed state; it is de-compressed into RAM on system power-up. As a result, the entire onboard RAM is not available for the point database, the PPCL program, and trend data.

Auto-Restore and Database Backup to Flash TALON Firmware Revision 3.1 and later supports Auto-Restore and Database Backup to Flash.

● Database Backup to Flash allows the user to manually save a copy of the database in flash memory of the controller.

● The field panel may be configured to automatically restore the database from flash memory after a coldstart.

– When auto-restore is enabled, a coldstart does not result in the same downtime as with earlier revisions of TALON firmware. Because there is no waiting on a full download from the backup system, the database is restored from flash so quickly that there is little to no downtime. However, the accumulated trend data is deleted from memory.

– Database restoration from flash is disabled by default.

– When FLN Mode is selected for the PXC Compact or UEC, database restoration from flash is automatically enabled.

● The field panel may be configured to automatically restore the database from flash memory after a coldstart.

– When auto-restore is enabled, a coldstart does not result in the same downtime as with earlier revisions of TALON firmware. Because there is no waiting on a full download from the backup system, the database is restored from flash so quickly that there is little to no downtime. However, the accumulated trend data is deleted from memory.

– Database restoration from flash is disabled by default.

For procedures on using Auto-Restore and Database Backup to Flash, see the TALON Firmware User's Manual (588-580).

Auto Save This feature allows the database to be backed up automatically whenever database is changed, instead of being an operator selected function. It does not provide any safeguard and or protection against power loss while the process is underway.

However, this feature sends messages to HMI that the auto save operation is in progress or finished.

The feature may be turned on or off using a prompt similar to the existing Autorestore prompt. See the TALON Firmware User's Manual (588-580) for more information.

File System Operations File System Operations provide many features and works on three drives of a field panel.

The following is a list of supported features:

● List Drives — list the drives on the field panel where A: is the RAM drive, B: is the

USB drive if attached, and IFD: is the internal Flash Drive.

● Set_drive — identifies the drive that you want to perform other functions on.

● listDirectory — lists the files and folders contained on the selected drive.

● Change_dir — changes the current directory to allow you to view the contents of subfolders on the drive.

● File_ops — opens up the file control menu which allows you to copy, rename, delete and move files in the panel. These functions work on the drive that was selected by the Set_drive function.

● File_ops/Copy_file — allows you to copy files within a drive or to another drive.

● File_ops/Rename_file — allows you to rename a file.

● File_ops/Move_file — allows you to move a file within a drive or to another drive.

● File_ops/Delete_file — allows you to delete a file.

USB Media Support

● Support for USB mass storage devices (Memory sticks or USB hard drives).

● Backup of database, storage for graphics, Web Server upgrades

Random Access Memory (RAM) Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory (SDRAM) is the working memory of the TC Compact. When the TC Compact has booted and is operating normally, the TALON firmware, the PPCL control program, the point database, and trend data have been transferred from Flash ROM. Information stored in RAM, such as the point database or PPCL, may be viewed, modified, deleted, activated, or deactivated from an operator terminal by any high-level authorized user. In the event of a power loss, the contents of RAM are kept intact by a backup battery.

TC Compact RAM size cannot be upgraded in the field.

The program length, number of database points, and number of trend entries is limited only by available memory.

Communication Connections The TC Compact Series provides the following communication connections:

● HMI and Tool ports

● 10B/100B Ethernet port

● RS-485 port

● USB Host Port

● TX-I/O Island Bus (TC-36 only)

In BACnet/IP ALN mode, RS-485 parameters are displayed and may be entered as a selection. However, when in RS-485 ALN mode, BACnet/IP ALN parameters are not an available selection.

HMI and Tool Ports

● The HMI port provides a connection to a laptop computer for local operation and engineering.

● The USB Device port supports a generic serial interface for an HMI or Tool connection.

Human-Machine Interface (HMI)/Tool Port The Human-Machine Interface (HMI)/Tool port provides RS-232 compliant communications through a quick-connect RJ-45 jack. The HMI port supports the following functionality:

● Connecting a machine interface device, such as an operator terminal or a text-based operator terminal, to the TC Compact.

● Executing firmware flash upgrades.

● 1200 bps to 115.2 Kbps communication is supported.

The communication speed of the port must match the communication speed of the device connected to it.
