current loop. a number of different manufacturers of building automation and
control equipment to communicate with each other. It supports
communication using BACnet over IP (Ethernet) including:

▪▪ Access to IQ4E parameters over BACnet,

▪▪ Alarm delivery,

Networking HARDWARE
In order to connect to the Trend network the IQ4E will create its Universal Inputs (IN1 to IN10)
own internal LAN which includes the following nodes:
Each input channel will function as one of the following:
▪▪ a CNC for its own controller,
▪▪ a supervisor CNC (sCNC1) for its RS232 port, ▪▪ thermistor input,
▪▪ a supervisor CNC (sCNC2) for its USB port, ▪▪ voltage input,
▪▪ three virtual CNCs (vCNC1, vCNC2 and vCNC3), and ▪▪ digital input, or

IC Comms: The IQ4E can communicate with other IQ n n

controllers and BACnet devices using IC Comms. Some n
controllers running earlier versions of firmware may not support
all IC Comms types. See ‘Compatibility’ on page 9. The volt free contact has a nominal wetting current of 270 μA.
The input is ON when the contact is closed.

An open collector or open drain must be able to sink 270 μA.

The input is ON when the transistor or FET conducts. Correct
polarity must be observed.

A logic circuit must be able to sink 270 μA. The input will be
ON when the voltage present on the input terminal is less than
2 Vdc (minimum 0 V). A voltage greater than 3.5 Vdc (maximum
50 Vdc) or open circuit will turn the input OFF. Voltage levels
between 2 and 3.5 Vdc may cause indeterminate operation.

Firmware Upgrades made, it is possible to view/adjust occupation times, view the
alarm log, and view/adjust/graph individual module parameters.
New versions of firmware may be made available from time to
time to change or add functionality or to provide support for new
products.

Firmware can be upgraded using a PC running the IQTool

Firmware Upgrade Applet, and to the IQ4E connected over
Ethernet (recommended for speed) or the Trend current loop.

Timemaster
The IQ4E can act as a system Timemaster to synchronise the
time and date across the Trend system. It can use SNTP (simple
network time protocol) to obtain precision current time from an
unauthenticated NTP server on the Internet. Daylight saving
can be implemented automatically (via timezone setting) or
manually by specified dates and time adjustment.

Alarms
The IQ4E will generate Network, General, and Item alarms.
Network alarms are generated by the Trend Network nodes,
General alarms are generated when the IQ4E detects a
problem within its own hardware or program, and Item alarms The web interface does not allow the strategy structure to be

to one of the controller’s vCNCs.

General and Item alarms can be sent either to a designated

Trend LAN address, to an IP address, or as an email.
Alternatively, certain Item alarms (sensor, digital input, digital
driver readback, and plot), can be sent to a BACnet device.

Alarms sent to a Trend LAN address, or to an IP address can

either be sent in text, coded, or attribute format. Network alarms
are sent in text format only.

For coded alarms the protocol limits the item number to 255
maximum. For text alarms the maximum item label length is
20 characters (although the 963 can be set up to use labels
previously learnt).

Sending an alarm by email requires the Email Server Address

to be set up in the address module. The Email Server Address
can be an IP address, an internet domain name, or a host name;
the internet domain name or host name require a DNS server
address or a WINS server address respectively to be set up in
the network module so that the name can be resolved.
For further details of web pages see the IQ4 Configuration
All alarms (except Network alarms) are also stored locally in the Manual (TE201263), the IQ4 Web User Guide (TC201256), and
Alarm Log. The alarm log can record up to 300 alarms. Once the Graphical Display Pages Editor Manual (TE200629).
this limit is reached each new alarm will overwrite the oldest
record. Language
The user can specify which language the IQ4E uses for the
display of web pages and for transmitted alarms. The standard
languages are in the controller as supplied. In the controller the
Address module has a language parameter which will be set
to the default language, but can be changed to any one of the
other available languages. The IQ4E can use languages which
require 8 bit code (i.e. special or accented characters) and can
also operate with right to left languages (e.g. Chinese, Arabic).

In order to operate as a controller, the modules provided by the This produces a strategy file (filename.IQ4) that can be
firmware must be configured to define the way the controller downloaded to the controller to define its operation. This file
is to control the connected equipment. This configuration is consists of all the strategy module instances, their parameters,
known as the strategy. Strategies are configured using the and links. When this is downloaded it is stored in the controller
System Engineering Tool (IQSET). and then run using the controller firmware.

For details of using IQSET see the System Engineering Tool

Manual (TE200147).

INSTALLATION
The IQ4E is designed to be clipped on to a standard TS35 DIN rail. The IQ4E must be installed in a secondary enclosure with a
minimum protective rating of IP20 (or equivalent). The /24VAC version can also be mounted outside normal reach (e.g. in a plenum).

The installation procedure involves:

Mounting the controller in position Setting up IP address parameters (if using Ethernet)
Connecting power Setting up LAN number and device address,
Connecting Ethernet (if required) Checking network
Connecting RS232 (if required) Configuring the strategy
Connecting Current Loop (../LAN only) Testing strategy using Controller Simulation in IQSET
Connecting the I/O channels (as required) Downloading strategy and other configuration files
Connecting Wallbus (if required) Check BACnet communications
Mounting and connecting I/O modules (if required) Connecting inputs and checking operation
Powering up Connecting outputs and checking operation

A full description of installing the unit is given in the IQ4E/.., IQ4NC/16/.., IQ4NC/32/.. Installation Instructions - Mounting (TG201338)
and IQ4E/.. IQ4NC/16/..., IQ4NC/32/... Installation Instructions - Configuring (TG201339).

UPGRADES
If the number of supported I/O channels needs to be increased, the following controller upgrades are available:

IQ4E/16-32/UP Upgrade from 16 to 32 channels

IQ4E/32-64/UP Upgrade from 32 to 64 channels
IQ4E/64-96/UP Upgrade from 64 to 96 channels
IQ4E/96-128/UP Upgrade from 96 to 128 channels
IQ4E/128-160/UP Upgrade from 128 to 160 channels
IQ4E/160-192/UP Upgrade from 160 to 192 channels

Note: An upgrade will only increase the number of I/O channels that are supported in the firmware; an upgrade does not change the
hardware. Additional I/O modules will be required to make use of the extra channels.

IQ4/XNC/UP Upgrade from an IQ4E/96/... to an IQ4E/96/XNC/... controller.
