 To attach LS-XP expanders

To attach LS-XP expanders

Depending on your power supply, LS-XP expanders can be wired for communication to the LS-1628u's I/O Bus
port, with AC or DC power supplied separately, or directly-connected to the LS-1628u's I/O bus edge connector
(DC only). The type of power, AC or DC, requires different device and power arrangements. See LS-XP expander
configurations (page 9).
Each expander must have a unique address (1 through 9) set on its rotary switch. See the LS-XP Installation Guide
for more details.

The expanders' outputs return to their unconfigured state if they are removed from the program or the program is
deleted from the controller. Also, outputs time out and return to their unconfigured or off state after two minutes
of inactivity. The unconfigured state results in:
• Not running control programs that are due to download
• Losing power to the controller, but not the expander
NOTE This does not apply to outputs that have been locked in the WebCTRL® application.

To wire the LS-XP expander to the I/O Bus port to enable communication (AC or DC)
Use ARC156 wiring (22 AWG, low-capacitance, twisted, stranded, shielded copper wire) to wire the LS-XP expander
to the controller. Do not exceed 1000 feet (305m) total wire length for the I/O bus.

WARNING Do not apply line voltage (mains voltage) to the expander's ports and terminals.

1 Turn off the controller's and expander's power.

2 Wire the expander's I/O Bus port to the same port on the controller.
NOTES
○ To use more than one expander, wire their I/O Bus ports together in a daisy-chain configuration. The
controller must be the first device on the expander network.
○ Use the same polarity throughout the network segment.
3 On the last expander on the I/O bus, set the I/O Bus End of Net? switch to Yes to apply network termination
and bias.
NOTES
○ All other End of Net? switches on expanders must be set to No.
○ The controller has built-in I/O bus network termination and must be the first device on the expander
network.
4 Mount the LS-XP expander to a DIN rail or using screws.
5 Turn on the controller's and expander's power.

5 Navigate to http://local.access or http://169.254.1.1 to see the controller setup pages.

See To set up the controller through the Service Port (page 55) for general information on using the controller
setup pages.

To set up autobaud
The LS-1628u can automatically receive or establish the baud rate on a serial network. When you configure a
device on the network for autobaud and then power it up, the device detects the incoming baud rate on the
network and sets its baud to match.
Autobaud does not work unless there is a device on the network, whether OEMCtrl® or third party, that has the
baud rate already set. You can manually set the baud rate on more than one device, as long as the rate is the
same for every device.
NOTES
• The received baud rate stays intact during power cycles.
• We recommend you set the baud rate manually on the router for the network.

MS/TP
MSTP Autobaud can be configured in either the:
• Service Port controller setup pages > BACnet tab > Port S1 or Port S2
or

• The WebCTRL® interface, on the Network tree, select your LS-1628u > Driver > BACnet Router
Properties > MS/TP Configuration on Port S1 or on Port S2. See BACnet Router Properties (page 44).

Modbus
Modbus Serial Autobaud can be configured in either the:
• Service Port controller setup pages > Modbus tab > Modbus RS-485 > Port Configuration
or

• The WebCTRL® interface, on the Network tree, select your LS-1628u and go to Driver > Communication
Status > Modbus Serial
NOTE See the Modbus Integration Guide.

NOTE If you set Autobaud or make other changes in the controller setup pages, you must upload the changes to
the system database the first time you access the controller in the WebCTRL® interface. This preserves those
settings when you download memory or parameters to the controller.

Addressing the LS-1628u

To set the IP address

You must define the LS-1628u's IP addressing (IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway) in the Service Port
controller setup pages so that the controller can communicate with the WebCTRL Server on the IP network. This IP
addressing must match the IP addressing defined in SiteBuilder in the controller's Properties dialog box.
Use one of the IP addressing schemes described below with the associated instructions that follow.

Use a... If...

DHCP IP Address The IP network uses a DHCP server for IP addressing
generated by a DHCP server
Custom Static IP Address You do not use a DHCP server and the answer to any of the
from your network administrator following questions is yes. Will the WebCTRL® system:
• Share a facility's existing IP data network?
• Have 254 or more devices with static IP addresses?
• Be connected to the Internet?
• Have at least one device located on the other side of an IP
router?
• Have any third-party IP devices?
Default IP Address The answer to all of the above questions is no.
that your system creates

NOTE Carefully plan your addressing scheme to avoid duplicating addresses. If third-party devices are integrated
into the system, make sure your addresses do not conflict with their addresses.

To set a DHCP IP address

1 On the controller setup Modstat tab, find the controller’s Ethernet MAC address and write it down.
2 On the Ports tab under IP Port, select DHCP.
3 Click Save.
4 Write down the IP Address.
5 Give the DHCP network administrator the IP address and Ethernet MAC address and ask him to reserve that
IP address for the controller so that it always receives the same IP address from the DHCP server.

To set a custom IP address

1 Obtain the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway address for the controller from the facility network
administrator.
2 On the controller setup Ports tab under IP Port, select Custom Static.
3 Enter the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway addresses that the network administrator gave
you.
4 Click Save.

 Addressing the LS-1628u

To set a default IP address

Default IP addressing assigns the following to the controller:
• IP address = 192.168.168.x
where x is the setting on the rotary switches in the range from 1 to 253
• Subnet Mask = 255.255.255.0
• Default Gateway = 192.168.168.254

1 Set the controller's three rotary switches to a unique address on the network. Set the left rotary switch to the
hundreds digit, the middle switch to the tens digit, and the right switch to the ones digit.
EXAMPLE The switches below are set to 125.

2 On the controller setup Ports tab under IP Port, select Default IP Address.
3 Click Save.

CAUTIONS
• If you are using Port S1, the rotary switches also determine that network's address. Although the ARCNET
address range is 1 to 255, the Default IP address range is 1 to 253. Setting the rotary switches to 0 will set
the Default IP address to 1. Setting the switches to 255 will set the Default IP to 253. Do not set the switches
to 254.
• If you set the Default IP address on the controller setup Ports tab and then change the rotary switches, you
must do one of the following to correct the IP address in the controller:
• Go to the controller setup Ports tab and click the Update IP Address.
• Cycle the controller's power.
You will then need to correct the IP address in SiteBuilder.
NOTE The default address is an intranet address. Data packets from this address are not routable to the Internet.

• For ARCNET, the range is 1 to 255.
• For MS/TP, the range is 0 to 127.
• For Modbus, the range is 1 to 247.

You set this address on the LS-1628u's three rotary switches. Set the left rotary switch to the hundreds digit, the
middle switch to the tens digit, and the right switch to the ones digit.

EXAMPLE The switches below are set to 125.

CAUTION If you are using a Default IP address, the rotary switches also determine the IP address.

For MS/TP, set up autobaud or the port's baud rate

1 On the controller setup BACnet tab under Port S1, select the MSTP Baud Rate or select Yes for MSTP
Autobaud. The default is 76,800 bps.
NOTES
○ See To set up autobaud (page 17) for details.
○ If not using autobaud, enter the identical baud rate for all devices on the same MS/TP network segment.
2 Click Save.

Wiring for communications

To connect the LS-1628u to the Ethernet

Connect an Ethernet cable to the Gig-E Ethernet port.
NOTE Be careful NOT to plug your cable into the Service Port.

NOTE If your system has controllers on different IP subnets separated by an IP router, you must configure one
controller on each subnet as a BACnet Broadcast Management Device (BBMD). Do not configure more than one
BBMD per subnet as this may cause circular routes. See "Setting up BACnet Broadcast Management Devices
(BBMDs)" in SiteBuilder or WebCTRL® Help.

Wiring devices to the LS-1628u's Act Net port

Supports a combination of up to 16 Act Net addresses, as follows:
• OptiPoint™ Smart Valve—one address
• Automated Logic actuator—one address

Act Net devices

• Require a class 2 power source (24 Vac +/- 20% or 24 Vdc +/- 10%)
• Cannot be powered by the LS-1628u’s 24 Vac transformer

CAUTIONS
• If the power source for the Act Net devices require a connection to earth ground, you must place it in the
same control panel as the LS-1628u controller, so that it shares a common earth ground reference, thereby
reducing the potential for ground loops.
• A remote Act Net power source, installed near the Act Net devices, should be floating (no local connection to
earth ground).

The LS-1628u provides an orange, three-pin removable screw terminal connector for the Act Net port.

Wiring devices to the LS-1628u's Act Net port

The Act Net port's NC (not connected) terminal does not connect to any internal circuitry of the LS-1628u. It is
strictly for terminating wires in a daisy chain bus configuration.
NOTE Be careful to wire the Act Net port terminals on the controller to the matching terminal on the supported
device. They may not be in the same order. See example below.

The LS-1628u supports Act Net communication to the Act Net devices on a bus with a maximum length of 300
feet (91.44 meters). The bus should be wired with copper conductors of an appropriate size (18 AWG or larger) to
compensate for voltage drop and ensure that bus voltage does not drop below 19.2 Vac or 21.6 Vdc..

 To adjust input and output properties

To adjust input and output properties

An input or output must be assigned to its corresponding point in the control program. This is typically done when
the control program is created, but you can adjust the settings at the time of installation in the WebCTRL®
interface.

1 In the WebCTRL® Geographic tree, select the equipment controlled by the LS-1628u.
2 On the Properties page, select the I/O Points tab.
3 In each point's Num field, type the number of the controller's corresponding input or output. For example, if
you use UO1 on the LS-1628u for the point Pump S/S, type 1 in the Num field for Pump S/S.
NOTES
• Exp (expander number) is 00 for the LS-1628u.
• Do not assign the same output number to more than one point.
4 For expander points, type the point's rotary switch address in the Exp field and the number of the expander's
corresponding input or output in the Num field.
EXAMPLE If UO-01 on the expander (which has a rotary switch address of 5) is used for the point Fan S/S,
enter 5:1 in the Exp:Num column for Fan S/S.
5 Enter the appropriate values for each input and output in the remaining columns. See Input values, Output
values, Resolution values and Offset/Polarity values below.

CAUTION Do not assign two input microblocks to the same physical input using Dry Contact in one and
Binary Input in the other. This results in faulty behavior.
6 If you have not performed the initial download to the attached controller, you must download now to verify
inputs and outputs.
7 To verify each input's operation, force each sensor to a known value, then compare it to the Value shown on
the Properties page on the I/O Points tab.
8 To verify each output's operation, lock each output to a known condition on the I/O Points tab, then verify
that the equipment operates correctly.

1 The sensor reads a value and sends a corresponding signal (Volt or mA) to the LS-1628u's physical input. The
Analog Input microblock uses the Min and Max values to linearly translate the signal into the engineering value
used in subsequent control logic. For example, set Min to 0 and Max to 10 for a 4–20 mA sensor that measures
velocity from 0.0 to 10.0 inches/second so that when the input reads 4 mA, the microblock outputs a value of
0. Similarly, when the input reads 8 mA, the microblock outputs a value of 2.5.
2 You can set up a custom translation table on the driver's Custom Translation Tables pages in the WebCTRL®
interface.
3 The control program must have one Pulse to Analog Input microblock for each pulse counting input.
4 To improve the accuracy for RTD sensors used with long cables, see Offset/Polarity values (page 36).
5 Binary Input and Dry Contact input types are not interchangeable. Setting an input to Dry Contact applies a
wetting voltage to sense a dry contact. Setting an input to Binary Input will not apply a wetting voltage.

1 The Analog Output microblock uses the Min and Max values to linearly translate its incoming value into a
physical output signal (Volt or mA) sent from the LS-1628u to an actuator. For example, set Min to 0 and Max to
100 for an Analog Output microblock that receives a 0 to 100% open signal from a PID microblock and that
controls a 0–10 Vdc actuator so that when the PID signal is 100%, the LS-1628u output is 10 Vdc. Similarly,
when the PID signal is 50%, the LS-1628u output is 5 Vdc.

Resolution values
Resolution is not particular to a type of input or output, but the driver handles analog and binary inputs and
outputs differently. To set these values appropriately, you should understand how the driver uses them.

Resolution Notes
Analog Input (BAI) The driver rounds the microblock's present value according to the resolution.
EXAMPLE If the calculated present value is 13.789 and you set the Resolution to 0.1, the
control program uses 13.8 for any calculations downstream from the microblock.
Analog Output The driver rounds the wire input value to the microblock before performing any scaling
(BAO) calculations.
EXAMPLE If the wire input value is 13.789 and you set the Resolution to 0.1, the
microblock uses 13.8 for any scaling calculations.

To adjust input and output properties

Offset/Polarity values
Offset/Polarity is not particular to a type of input or output, but the driver handles analog and binary inputs and
outputs differently. To set these values appropriately, you should understand how the driver uses them.

Offset/Polarity Notes
Analog Input (BAI) Offset value (positive or negative) adds a fine adjustment to a sensor reading after all
scaling for calibration.
EXAMPLE If a sensor reads 74.9°F when the actual measured value is 73.6°F, enter an
Offset of –1.3 to calibrate the sensor to the measured value.
RTD inputs require either sensor calibration or an estimated offset correction for wiring
resistance. Cable length and size affects RTD sensor accuracy. Use the following
information for a 100 ft. (30.48 m) cable as a guideline for entering an offset. For shorter
cable, scale the offset linearly. For example, for a 50 ft. cable, use half the offset shown
below.

RTD sensor Offset for 100 ft. (30.48 m) cable

22 AWG 18 AWG
Platinum 1kOhm at 32°F (0°C) (0.00375 -1.5 -0.59

Nickel-iron 1kOhm at 70°F (21°C) -1.1 -0.43
Platinum TS-8000 1kOhm at -1.5 -0.59

Balco (nickel-iron) TS8000 1kOhm -1.4 -0.56
at 70°F (21°C)
Cable resistance for signal and 3.1 1.24
ground wires (ohms)
Analog Output (BAO) You can use the Offset value (positive or negative) to calibrate an output, but you generally
do not need to. If used, the driver adds the offset value to the wire input value before
performing any scaling calculations to determine the LS-1628u's output.
Binary Input (BBI) Polarity determines the microblock's present value when no signal is received from the
equipment.
When no signal is received from the equipment, if Polarity is set to:
normal—present value is off
reversed—present value is on
Binary Output (BBO) Polarity determines the LS-1628u's output based on the control program's signal to the
microblock.
When the control program's signal to the microblock is on, if Polarity is set to:
normal—output is on
reversed—output is off
NOTE Regardless of Polarity, the output will be off if the LS-1628u loses power.

To use an output's Hand-Auto-Off switch

You can control an output using the Hand-Auto-Off switch.

Set the switch to... To...

Hand • Turn on a binary output.
• Allow an analog output to be controlled by the AO Hand Override
potentiometer.
Auto Let the control program control the output
Off Turn off the output

The AO Hand Override, located below the Hand-Auto-Off switch, allows you to manually control the output level of
an analog output. Place the Hand-Auto-Off switch in the Hand position, then turn the potentiometer
counterclockwise to reduce the output, or clockwise to increase the output.

The control program can monitor the status of a Hand-Auto-Off switch and display the status on the control
program's Properties page > I/O Points tab in the WebCTRL® interface. The Value of the point monitoring the
Hand-Auto-Off switch shows Off if the switch is set to Auto, and On if the switch is set to Hand or Off.

To monitor the position of the manual Hand-Auto-Off switch

1 Insert a BACnet Binary Input microblock in the control program.
2 On the microblock's Properties page in the WebCTRL® interface, set the I/O Type field to H-A-O Status
Feedback.

Network Input Microblocks microblock will attempt to communicate with its target device. If unsuccessful, the
indicate failure point will transition to an idle state for 30 seconds before attempting to
communicate again. Change this field only if directed by Technical Support.
Periodic rebinding interval If a microblock uses a wildcard in its address, this timer determines how often the
microblock will attempt to find the nearest instance of its target. For example, if
an outside air temperature address uses a wildcard, a VAV application will look for
the outside air temperature on the same network segment or on the nearest
device containing that object.
BACnet COV Throttling
Enable COV Throttling Under normal circumstances, COV Throttling should be enabled to prevent
excessive network traffic if an object's COV Increment is set too low. See
EXCEPTION below.
When enabled, if an object generates excessive COV broadcasts (5 updates in 3
seconds), the driver automatically throttles the broadcasts to 1 per second. Also,
if the object's value updates excessively for 30 seconds, an alarm is sent to the
WebCTRL® application listing all objects that are updating excessively. A Return-
to-normal alarm is sent only after all objects have stopped updating excessively.
EXCEPTION: In rare circumstances, such as process control, a subscribing object
may require COV updates more frequently than once per second. For these
situations, clear this checkbox, but make sure that your network can support the
increased traffic. You will also need to disable the Excessive COV alarms under

○ If the port is set up for MS/TP, select an option in the Capture section.

To download the capture file

Capture files are Wireshark files that are added to the Device Log Archive .tgz file. Do the following to view the
files.
1 If you do not have Wireshark installed on your computer, download the latest version from the Wireshark
website (http://www.wireshark.org).
2 Run the install program, accepting all defaults. Include WinPcap in the installation.
3 On the WebCTRL® Packet Capture page, click Get capture file to download the .tgz file. The message
appears "Retrieving the file, this may take a little while". Click OK.
NOTE If the size of the .tgz is large, there could be a considerable delay (for example, over 2 minutes) after
you click Get capture file until your browser begins the download.
4 Open the .tgz file. The files are in the captures folder.

Capture file names are based on the ports.

NOTES
• If you have an MSTP capture file for both Port S1 and Port S2, the file names will be:
mstpcap0 for Port S1
mstpcap1 for Port S2
• Clicking Get capture file generates the port's .pcap file. If the port has a .pcap file from a previous
capture, that file will be overwritten.

5 Extract the .pcap file from the .tgz file.

6 Open the .pcap file in Wireshark.

 Troubleshooting

To monitor power input type

To monitor power inputs, add BACnet Analog Input (AI) and/or Binary Input (BI) microblocks to the control
program. This enables you to view:

• Input power type (AC or DC)

• Input power frequency when AC power is applied (50 or 60 Hz)
• Fault on auxiliary power outputs (+12V and +24V)
• Input power state (low voltage/normal)

WARNING You must not use this value as an input in a control program, as it could damage the
controller or controlled equipment. The value must only be trended.
Changes to the power demands of the controller, such as output state, input power requirements, peripheral
current draw, etc., can impact the reading, which results in a potential feedback loop and output cycling.
The Input power state does not take all factors into account, which could result in an incomplete evaluation
of conditions. You must only use these values for troubleshooting and not for equipment logic.

In the EIKON® application, select the following for each AI / BI:

Status/Attribute Microblock Expander number : I/O type Description

type Channel number
Input Power State AI 0:51 Special • 0-Normal
• 1-low input voltage
Input Power Type BI 0:52 Special • False - AC
• True - DC
Input Power Frequency BI 0:53 Special • False – 50 Hz
• True – 60 Hz
Fault status of +12V BI 0:55 Special Returns fault status on +12V
Aux power (Rnet) auxiliary power signal. Fault
events such as under voltage,
over voltage, overload, reverse
current and thermal shutdown

• False – No fault
• True – Fault
Fault status of +24V BI 0:56 Special Returns fault status on +24V

 Troubleshooting

To replace the LS-1628u's fuses

The LS-1628u has 2 fuses:

Symptoms of a blown fuse:

• LS-1628u's power fuse—The controller’s LED is not lit.

• I/O bus edge connector fuse—The LED is not lit on downstream expanders connected to the edge
connector.
NOTE If the LS-1628u's power fuse blows but not the I/O bus edge connector fuse, the LS-1628u will be off but
not the downstream expanders.

If you suspect a fuse is blown, remove the fuse as described below, and use a multimeter to check it. If the fuse is
blown, try to determine why it blew before you replace it. Check the power wiring polarity of the LS-1628u and any
other devices that share the power supply. Use the same polarity for all of them.

The fuses are fast-acting, 5mm x 20mm glass fuses that you can purchase from one of the following vendors:

Manufacturer Mfr. Part # Mfr. Part #

for 2.5A fuse for 4A fuse
Littelfuse 021702.5HXP 0217004.HXP
Bussmann not specified S500-4-R
Belfuse 5SF-2.5-R 5SF 4-R
Optifuse FSD-2.5A FSD-4A

To replace the fuse:

1 Turn off the LS-1628u's power switch.
2 Remove the red power connector.
3 Remove the blue output connectors, if present.
