ENM160 Powerface 48 VDC 48VDC HILON 2G must be directly connected to the controller of the Unit, representing a node for a LonWorks BMS. In a LonWorks network, intelligent control devices, called nodes, communicate among each other using a common protocol. Each node in the network contains embedded intelligence that implements the protocol and performs control functions.
6 status LEDs There is neither external memory to the processor nor external UART components on RS485 channel (Hironet side). Firmware info HILON 2G Firmware has been built using: Echelon NodeBuilder FX 4.01.07 application Neuron Chip FW Version: 19. Spare Parts...
3. User connections HILON 2G will be mounted inside the electrical panel on the DIN Rail. The pictures below show the connection that must be done, in relation also to the different types of cards that can be mounted on the Unit.
IGURE CONNECTION BETWEEN OWERFACE AND Warning: Be sure that, when you connect the Hironet cable to the card, the Unit is switched-on and the HILON 2G is switched off. Then switch on the HILON 2G. 265069 HILON 2G User Manual...
Transformer 24VAC/24VAC 10VA 255877 For iCOM/MicrofaceE The Transformer (48 Vdc – 24 Vdc) to supply the HILON 2G on Units mounting Powerface 48 VDc cards is included in the HILON2G Kit Mobile 48VDC package (code 480206). This is a galvanicaly-isolated transformer.
LED 6 Green: It is ON when the Hironet Communication is active, it Blinks during the start-up and in case of fault in the communication. Service PIN button: used to install the HILON 2G into a Node Manager and to become a part of a LON network by sending the Neuron ID code.

For example the presence of typical TLC devices (big inverters, UPS switching-feeders…) makes it necessary the use of screened cable, to avoid possible transmission data losses. The cable must be in any case a twisted pair. 265069 HILON 2G User Manual...
4. Architecture All Vertiv Cooling units (see Chapter ) mounting iCOM/Microface E, Powerface controllers with standard software and Hironet protocol enabled, can be connected to HILON 2G via the Hironet connector. One HILON 2G is needed per each Cooling unit: 4.1: I...

If the Section “Total Received” of the Dialog shows incrementing numbers but nothing happens, probably the problem is due to a wrong .XIF file. In this case contact Vertiv Service. Now the HILON2G device is commissioned inside the LON network and ready to be monitored.

- nvoGenAlarm: represents the Events status. UCPTEvtType: Type of events to be sent on LON side It is possible to set the HILON 2G device in order to filter the events coming from the Unit, and pass to the BMS only a specified sub-category.
The SNVT variable, containing the integer value related to the Event SNVT_count nvoALARME, is delivered by the HILON 2G and therefore must be read by the BMS before the next incoming Alarm. As a consequence the monitoring BMS’s Binding operation, of SNVT_switch nvoALARME variable, is strongly suggested.
