Model RC642D only Display The display's default screen shows one of the following, depending on the Room Controller's setup: • The zone temperature (and alternately the outside air temperature, if programmed), plus the current Occupied/Unoccupied schedule • The current time If using a built-in control program, the display also shows the items below.
Creating a • Create a custom control program in EquipmentBuilder or EIKON LogicBuilder. If the Room Controller will be on a WebCTRL network, you may select any zone application custom control in EquipmentBuilder. However, EquipmentBuilder has a separate category for stand- program alone applications.
Using this document Follow the instructions for the method that applies to your Room Controller installation. METHOD A: Installing a Room Controller in a WebCTRL system (page 8) METHOD B: Installing a stand-alone Room Controller (page 28)
METHOD A: Installing a Room Controller in a WebCTRL system You can install the RC642 or the RC642D Room Controller as part of a WebCTRL system. To mount the Room Controller NOTE If needed, the Room Controller has a secondary backplate that you can mount behind it to cover certain junction boxes.
Connect the transformer wires to the Com and 24 Vac screw terminals. Power LED Run LED 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Apply power to the Room Controller. Measure the voltage at the Room Controller’s power input terminals to verify that the voltage is within the operating range of 21.6–26.4 Vac.
Wiring for communications with a controller network The Room Controller communicates using BACnet on the following types of network segments: • ARC156 communicating at 156 kbps • MS/TP communicating at 9600 bps, 19.2 kbps, 38.4 kbps, or 76.8 kbps NOTE ARC156 is a unique implementation of the industry standard ARCNET.

Downloading the Room Controller Download the following items to the Room Controller's battery-backed memory: Item Notes Control program Must be in WebCTRLx.x\webroot\<system_name>\programs. DRV_RCM driver Must be in WebCTRLx.x\webroot\<system_name>\drivers. NOTE To verify that you have the driver's latest version, go to http://accounts.automatedlogic.com/download, then select Drivers >...
To assign inputs or outputs to points To use an input or output, you must assign it to its corresponding point in the control program. In WebCTRL's GEO tree, select the equipment controlled by the Room Controller. On the Properties page, select the I/O Points tab. In each point's Num field, type the number of the controller's corresponding input or output.
Output values Output I/O Type Sensor/Actuator Type Min/Max Analog (BAO) 0-10 Vdc Electrical Linear Full Range Engineering values 0–10 Volt associated with 0 Vdc (Min) and 10 Vdc (Max) 2-10 Vdc Electrical Linear w/Offset, Engineering values 0–10 Volt 2–10 Volts associated with 2 Vdc (Min) and 10 Vdc (Max) Digital (Binary) (BBO)
Offset/Polarity Offset/Polarity is not particular to a type of input or output, but the driver handles analog and digital (binary) inputs and outputs differently. To set these values appropriately, you values should understand how the driver uses them. Offset/Polarity Notes Analog Input Offset value (positive or negative) adds a fine adjustment to a sensor (BAI)
To set up the driver After you download the driver and control program(s) to the Room Controller, you may want to change the driver's properties to suit your application. On WebCTRL's NET tree, click to the left of your Room Controller. Click to the left of Driver to see its children.
Device On the Device page, you can change the following properties: • BACnet device object properties for the Room Controller • Room Controller network communication Configuration NOTE The three APDU fields refer to all networks over which the Room Controller communicates. Max Masters and Max Info Apply only if the Room Controller is on an MS/TP network.
Recipient Device Object Type the Device Instance from SiteBuilder (or from the Identifier network administrator for third-party devices) in the # field. Process Identifier Change for third-party devices that use a BACnet Process Identifier other than 1. WebCTRL processes alarms for any 32-bit Process Identifier.

METHOD B: Installing a stand-alone Room Controller You can install the RC642D Room Controller as a stand-alone unit, but not the RC642. To mount the Room Controller NOTE If needed, the Room Controller has a secondary backplate that you can mount behind it to cover certain junction boxes.
Connect the transformer wires to the Com and 24 Vac screw terminals. Power LED Run LED 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Apply power to the Room Controller. Measure the voltage at the Room Controller’s power input terminals to verify that the voltage is within the operating range of 21.6–26.4 Vac.
