G. The BAS shall have a fully compliant LonMark® Certified LNS LonWorks architecture that utilizes the

ANSI/CEA 709.1. The entire system network shall be a Local Operating Network (LON) and installed by

LonMark® Certified Technicians during Installation. All nodes shall communicate with each other utilizing ANSI/CEA 709.1 There will be no consideration given to any network which does not use

LonWorks as the primary communications network. Controllers shall be capable of sharing SNVT

(standard network variable type) data with other LON-based devices. The system will consist of a flat, open architecture that utilizes the ANSI/CEA 709.1 (LonTalk™) Protocol as the common communication protocol between all controlled and controlling devices. Where necessary or desired, LonTalk packets may be encapsulated into TCP/IP messages to take advantage of existing infrastructure or to increase network bandwidth.

The token ring protocol is the second most widely used pattern after the Ethernet. A typical arrangement is as follows:

1. Empty information frames are continuously circulated on the ring;

2. When a computer has a message to send, it inserts a token in an empty frame (this may consist of simply changing a 0 to a 1 in the token bit of the frame) and inserts a message and a destination identifier in the frame;

3. The frame is then examined by each successive workstation. If the workstation sees that it is the destination for the message, it copies the message from the frame and changes the token back to 0. When the frame gets back to the originator, it sees the token has been changed to 0 and the message has been copied and received. It removes the message from the frame. The frame continues to circulate as an empty frame, ready to be taken by workstation when it has a message to send.

VVV. TP Ethernet: Twisted pair Ethernet.

Contract, as described below:

1. Test, calibrate, and adjust each digital and analog sensing, and actuating device. Calibrate each sensor by making a comparison between the BAS display and the reading at the sensor, using an instrument traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology. This instrument shall be at least twice as accurate as the sensor to be calibrated. The measured value and displayed value for each sensor shall be in the ATC/BAS Pre-Commissioning Report.

2. Check and set zero and span adjustments for each actuating device. Manually activate damper and valve operators to verify free travel and fail condition. Check valve or damper to insure that it shuts off tight when the appropriate signal is applied to the operator.

3. Check each digital control point by making a comparison between the control command at the

OID and the status of the controlled device. Check each digital input point by making a comparison of the state of the sensing device and the OID display. Record the results for each device in the Commissioning Report.

4. Verify proper sequence and operation of each specified function.

5. Tune each control loop to obtain the fastest stable response without hunting, offset or overshoot.
