The thermostats are also compatible with the new Viconics PIR cover accessories. Thermostats equipped with a PIR cover provide advanced active occupancy logic, which will automatically switch occupancy levels from Occupied to Stand-By and Unoccupied as required by local activity being present or not.

Input Network Variables (nvi’s) Description Parameter Variable Name Function Room network input This input network variable provides a network remote Temperature SNVT_temp_p temperature value to the thermostat. If a valid value is present, nviSpaceTemp the internal temperature reading (internal sensor) is no longer used.
Page 8
Parameter Variable Name Function Occupied network Input This input network variable is used to allow the occupied Cool & Heat SNVT_temp_p temperature setpoints only to be changed via the network from a Setpoints nviSetpoint single analog value. (Note: the Unoccupied setpoints are not changed).
Output Network Variables (nvo’s) Description All output network variables will be updated no faster than the Minimum Send Time (nciMinOutTm) configuration value, if used. An output network variable will be transmitted immediately when its value has changed significantly. Additionally, this variable will also be transmitted as a heartbeat output on a regular basis as dictated by the Maximum Send Time (nciSndHrtBt) configuration value.

Parameter Variable Name Function Occupancy network output This output network variable is used to indicate the actual SNVT_occupancy occupancy mode of the unit. This information is typically reported nvoEffectOccup to a supervisory controller or provided to another Space Comfort Controller to coordinate the operation of multiple units Valid Range: 0 = OC_OCCUPIED 1 = OC_UNOCCUPIED...

78000 bits per second Network segment length varies depending on wire type. Table 1: Summary of Specifications for a Viconics’ EIA-485 Network Network Configuration The Echelon network is designed to support free topology wiring and will accommodate bus, star, loop or any of these topologies.
Maximum Number Of Devices Up to 64 transceivers are allowed per network segment. If your network requires more than 64 transceivers a repeater is then required to extend your network...
Maximum Cable Length The maximum length of a chain is related to its transmission speed. Using proper cable, Echelon supports a baud rate of 78 kilobits per second for distances up to 1600-ft (500 m) in free topology and 8800 ft (2700 m) in bus topology with double terminations. If you require a maximum network length of more than 1600-ft (500 m) or 8800 ft (2700 m), then a repeater is required to extend the network.
• Please note that all release notes for the XIF, APB & NXE software files will be included under the following folder name on your hard drive: C:\LonWorks\Import\Viconics. The name of the file is: VT7xxxReadme.txt Plug-Ins File: Plug-Ins simplify start-up, maintenance, configuration and reduce the installation effort.
Device Identification An Echelon device has a unique mechanism to identify itself, the Neuron ID, which is obtained during commissioning. There are two ways of getting the Neuron ID: with a Service Pin or manually. Service PIN The Service PIN is used to identify the device at commissioning. By pressing simultaneously the “Yes” button and the “No”...
The heartbeat parameter of a Tridium front-end should be set at the slowest configuration possible so that nviTimeStamp updates correctly; With any LNS Tools, nviTimeStamp should be set to refresh everyday or on power-up; Viconics recommend to use the provided Viconics format files as stipulated in the snivet per model table view Troubleshooting Section...
