APPLICATION STEPS

Overview

Steps one through seven (see Table 8) address con-
siderations for engineering an Excel 10 FCU System. These
steps are guidelines intended to aid understanding of the pro-
duct I/O options, bus arrangement choices, configuration
options and the Excel 10 FCU Controllers' role in the overall
®
EXCEL 5000 System architecture.

Step 1. Plan the System

Plan the use of the FCU Controllers according to the job
requirements. Determine the location, functionality and sensor
or actuator usage. Verify the sales estimate of the number of
FCU Controllers and wall modules required for each model
type. Also check the number and type of output actuators and
other accessories required.
When planning the system layout, consider potential ex-
pansion possibilities to allow for future growth. Planning is
very important to be prepared for adding HVAC systems and
controllers in future projects.

be laid out according to the guidelines applicable for that
topology. FCU Controllers use FTT technology which allows
daisy chain, star, loop or combinations of these bus
configurations. See section "Step 3. Lay Out Communications
and Power Wiring" (page 18) for more information on bus
wiring layout, and see Fig. 13, Fig. 14, and Fig. 15 in section
"Step 4. Prepare Wiring Diagrams" (page 19) for wiring
details.

Step 2. Determine Other Bus Devices
Required
A max. of 62 nodes can communicate on a single L
segment. If more nodes are required, a router is necessary.
Using a router allows up to 125 nodes, divided between two
L W segments. The router accounts for two of these
