Communications IPC3
When using Tracer CH530, you will not be required to know all the details about the structure of the IPC3 bus. However this page gives detailed information about the system for those of you that are really interested in how it works. The IPC3 protocol is based on RS485 signal technology. IPC3 was designed to be very efficient. It communicates at 19.2 Kbaud.
IPC3 Definitions:
Bus Management:
The DynaView™ provides the bus management having the task of restarting the link, or filling in for missing nodes when the normal communication has been degraded. This involves reassigning node addresses and filling in for nodes that are
Node Assignment: When a unit is factory commissioned, the Low Level Intelligent Device (LLID), or module, must have their node addresses assigned to them for storage in non- volatile memory. The node addresses are normally assigned sequentially during factory commissioning.
Node Zero:
Node number zero is is a special node assignment that is reserved for devices that are service selected. A LLID communicating on node address zero will also communicate on an assigned node address. A LLID will only communicate on node address zero if it is service selected.
Binding:
Binding is the process of assigning a node number and functional IDs to a LLID. Binding is a simple process:
1.Service selecting the LLID with a magnet.
2.Assigning functional IDs to that LLID with TechView™.
Functional Identification:
When each LLID on the bus is bound, its inputs and outputs are given a functional ID. The Frame LLIDS have only one functional ID, but most Panel LLIDs have more than one functional ID. A dual high voltage binary input will have two functional IDs, a quad relay output has four functional IDs.
The DynaView™ Main Processor with its IPC3 Bus communicates to the control panel devices, unit mounted devices, and any remote devices on the IPC3 bus network. The various devices are discussed in the upcoming sections.
Control Panel Internally mounted devices
For visual identification Internal Control Panel mounted devices are identified by their respective schematic designation number. Control panel items are marked on the inner back panel in the control panel. Figure 24 illustrated below, identifies these devices. The Control Panel Devices table corresponds to the same device designators (see right hand column). Optional controls are present when a specific optional controls package is specified, as listed in the second column. Optional controls packages are; OPST Operating Status, GBAS Generic Building Systems, EXOP Extended operation, CDRP Condenser Pressure, TRMM Tracer communications, WPSR Water Flow Pressure sensing, FRCL Free Cooling, HGBP Hot Gas Bypass , and EPRO Enhanced Protection
Figure 24 illustrates the Control Panel Components Layout.
LLID Modules 1A1, 1A3, 1A4, 1A5, 1A6, 1A7, and 1A13 are standard and present in all configurations. Other Modules vary depending on machine optional devices.
