You can power several modules from the

same transformer if you maintain the same

polarity.

The UNI/16 has an operating range of

21.6VAC to 26.4VAC. If voltage measured at

the module’s power input terminals is outside

this range, the module may not work

properly.

1. Turn the module’s power off. This

prevents the module from being powered

up before the proper voltage is verified.

2. Make sure the 24VAC power source is off.

3. Connect the power wires to the module’s

power terminals labeled Ground and

24VAC.

4. Apply power to the transformer.

5. Make sure that 24VAC is present at the

module’s power input terminals.

6. Set the module’s address. Refer to

“Addressing” on page 5 for details about

setting the address.

7. Turn the module’s power switch on.

When the module turns on, the Power,

Run and Error LEDs turn on and the Run

and Error LEDs begin blinking. The Error

LED then turns off. (See “LEDs” on page 7

for more information about LED signals.)

Communicating with the

UNI/16

The UNI/16 connects to the CMnet through

an EIA-485 CMnet port. A five-pin EIA-485

port provides two connections to U-Line

modules on the Unet. You can connect an

optional BACview

or BACview

keypad

display unit to the keypad display port (see

Figure 2).

NOTE The EIA-232 port, labeled “Diag Port”

in Figure 2 is reserved for future diagnostic

capabilities. This feature is not yet available.

You must use SuperVision to transfer memory

to the UNI/16. You can connect a portable

computer running SuperVision to the UNI/16

using the module’s Access port. For more

information about connecting to a

workstation, refer to “Communicating with

the Workstation” on page 6.

Connecting the UNI/16 to the U-Line

modules

The UNI/16 supports up to 16 U-Line

modules. The baud rate of the Unet is set on

the module driver Parameter page. Refer to

the U1M Module Driver document for more

information.

Automated Logic Corporation recommends a

specific wire for both power and

communications on the Unet. This wire,

which contains a pair of 14AWG wires for

power and a pair of 22AWG wires for

communication, is available from:

Magnum Cable Corporation

Cleveland, OH 44110-0500

(800) 421-0820

Product number A3U-LINE

Note that the communication wire is

unshielded. Shielded cable is not required for

the Unet.

Use the Unet connection port to connect the

UNI/16 to the U-Line modules. The Unet

connection port can make two connections to

the Unet, as shown in Figure 3. Make sure the

Unet connection port configuration jumpers

are set to UNI and EIA-485 (see Figure 4).

Make sure that all U-Line modules and the

TNPB use the same polarity throughout the

subnet. You can verify that the UNI/16 is

communicating with the subnet by making

sure the Unet transmit and receive LEDs are

active.

When adding a new U-Line module to an

existing subnet, you must transfer memory to

the UNI/16 before the new card is recognized.

Connecting the UNI/16 to the CMnet

When communicating on an ARC156 CMnet,

use an A3ARC156 wire available from

Magnum Cable Corp. Use a dedicated 22AWG

to 18AWG twisted pair wire for legacy CMnet

(EIA-485) wiring. For more information about

CMnet wiring, refer to the Technical Handbook

or to the ARC156 CMnet Wiring Technical

Instructions.

To set the baud rate at 156 kbps (when using

an ARC156 CMnet), set the baud rate jumper

to Arc156 (see Figure 5 on page 5).

To set the baud rate at 38.4 kbps, set the baud

rate jumper to 9600/38.4K, and set the first

switch on the eight-position DIP switch to

38.4K (see Figure 6 on page 5).

To set the baud rate at 9600 bps, set the baud

rate jumper to 9600/38.4K, and set the first

switch on the eight-position DIP switch to

9600 (see Figure 6).

You can verify that the UNI/16 is

communicating on the CMnet by making sure

the CMnet transmit and receive LEDs are

active.

Addressing

The UNI/16 has an eight-position DIP switch

for assigning the module’s CMnet address.

Before setting or changing the address, make

sure the UNI/16’s power is off, since the

UNI/16 only reads the address when the

module is turned on. After changing the

address, you must transfer memory to the

module. Refer to the section “Transferring

Memory”.

Switches two through eight of the DIP switch

are labeled with addressing values. The

values of the switches in the on position are

added together to determine the module’s

address. For example, in Figure 7 switch

numbers six and seven are both on, giving the

module an address of six.

Transferring Memory

The UNI/16 module can store the U1M

module driver and up to 16 Graphic Function

Blocks (GFBs), depending on the size of the

GFBs. All GFBs stored in the UNI/16 must be

made using the Zone GFB option in Eikon.

Refer to the Eikon User’s Guide for more

information.

To transfer GFBs to the UNI/16, you must use

SuperVision version 2.6b or later software,

and you must use FBLINK version 2.7a or

later. For more information about using

SuperVision, refer to the SuperVision User’s

Guide.

The first memory transfer to the UNI/16 takes

longer than subsequent memory transfers.

1. Connect your workstation or portable

computer to the UNI/16. Refer to

“Communicating with the Workstation” on

page 6.

2. Navigate to the module driver and look at

the module status report in SuperVision to

make sure the module type and number

agree with the module.

4. When the memory transfer is finished,

check the module status report again.

Make sure the FB List on this page shows

all the FBs you intended to transfer.

Using Flow Sensors

The UNI/16 supports U-Line modules that use

flow sensors. You must calibrate each sensor

to ensure accurate readings. Use the

calibration instructions on the Parameter

page of each FB that uses a flow sensor. You

must indicate on the U1M’s Parameter page

(in the U-Card Flow Control section) how air

flow is controlled by each U-Line module.

Refer to the U1M Module Driver document for

details.

Troubleshooting Tips

If you are having trouble communicating with

the UNI/16, check these items before

contacting Technical Support.

• Make sure the U-Line wiring is correct.

In more complex systems, make sure

that all cables involved are attached

correctly.

• Make sure the UNI/16 and the U-Line

modules have power and are turned on.

In more complex systems, make sure all

equipment has power and is turned on.

Some devices, especially

communication devices, receive power

from a source other than a power cable

or adapter (for example, some devices

receive power through communication

lines). Some panels can be reinitialized

by resetting the panel.

• Make sure the module driver and all

GFBs are transferred into the module.

You can verify this by checking the

module status page for the UNI/16

module.

• Make sure the module driver

parameters and the parameters for each

GFB are set up properly in SuperVision.

Communicating with the Workstation

You can connect a workstation or portable

computer directly to the UNI/16 module using

an APT and the module’s Access port (see

Figure 8). This type of connection can be used

to troubleshoot the module or transfer

memory.

The baud rate of the Access port is

determined by the first switch on the eight-

position DIP switch (see Figure 7 on page 5). If

you need to change the switch’s position, turn

the UNI/16 module off first. Once you have

adjusted the switch, turn the module back on.

1. Connect the computer’s serial port to the

EIA-232 port of the APT using a standard

straight-through serial cable.

2. Set the APT’s Mode Select switch.

• On an ARC156 CMnet, use the TTL

setting.

4. In SuperVision, define the connection type

using Table 1.

Formatting the Module

When you are unable to communicate with a

module, you can, as a last resort, manually

format the module to try to restore

communication. Formatting the module

erases all memory, so you need to transfer

memory back to the module once it is

formatted.

1. Turn the module’s power off.

2. Make sure the module is addressed

correctly.

3. Press and hold the Format button (see

Figure 2 on page 3 for location).

4. While continuing to hold the Format

button, turn the module’s power on.

5. Continue to hold the button until the Error

LED flashes three times in sync with the

Run LED.

6. Release the Format button.

7. Transfer memory to the module. Refer to

“Transferring Memory” on page 5.

LEDs

The UNI/16 module has LED indicators to

show the status of certain functions. Table 2

explains the Run and Error LED signals in

detail to assist troubleshooting.

Power - indicates power is being supplied to

the module.

CMnet Tx - lights when the module transmits

data over the CMnet.

CMnet Rx - lights when the module receives

data from the CMnet.

Unet receive - lights when the module

receives data from the Unet.

power and CMnet. These Polyswitches are

not replaceable and will reset themselves if

the condition that caused the fault returns to

normal.

Production Date

To determine when a module was

manufactured, check the module status

report for the module in SuperVision. Refer to

the SuperVision User’s Guide for more

information about the module status report.

A sticker on the back of the module also

shows the date the module was

manufactured. The first three characters on
