1.3 Lighting Controller Network

ILC Apprentice II controllers can be net-worked together in a Local Area Network(LAN) to form a comprehensive lighting con-trol system for a faciltity.

1.3.1 Communications Protocol AndTransmission Media – Devices that operateon ILC’s LightSync CAT-5 data line includeApprentice II lighting controllers, LightSyncswitches, photocells, and interfaces like theLightSync D-6 and SIB-4. A standard 24gauge CAT-5, CAT-5E or CAT-6 cable is usedfor the data line and provides both dataand power to these devices. See Figure 1.5which details cable specifications. The cableterminates to ports on each Apprentice IIcontroller (or expansion panel) as shown inFigure 1.7. The total data line end to end dis-tance may not exceed 3000 feet without theaddition of a Power Supply Repeater (PSR)(See Figure 1.8) to the data line. Only a PSRwill extend the data line. A PSR has oneincoming and two outgoing RJ45 ports to splitthe line into two different directions. See Figure1.8 for an example of possible project layout.

1.3.2 Network ArchitectureThe network can consist of a Master paneland a number of Expansion (slave) panelsthat add up to a maximum of 48 relay out-puts. The Master panel is always Node 1 andcontrols the Expansion panels. The Expansionpanels are adddressed with a unique nodeaddress ranging from 2 to C. The data lineexits the Master panel’s RJ-45 OUT port andenters the IN port of the Expansion panel.

As an alternative to programming from theMaster Controller Keypad, programming maybe done from a personal computer (PC)equipped with proprietary ILC Apprentice IIPro software. See Appendix C for details.

1.3.3 Device Nodes – Apprentice II Networks also feature Device Nodes. These are dataswitches, photocells and other I/O devicesconnected to the CAT-5 data line. (See Figure1.8). There can be a maximum of up to 32device nodes in a the lighting control network.

There are limitations to the distance datacan travel over CAT-5 cable without loss,and distance limitations due to voltage dropassociated with cable length and number ofdevices on the LightSync data line. Theselimitations are addressed by the addition ofa Power Supply Repeater, Power Supply orLightSync Hub (see Figure 1.6), dependingon the application. The specific use of thesedevices depends on the project layout.

Each controller will power up to 8 devicenodes without a Power Supply Repeater(PSR), Power Supply (PS) or LightSync Hub(HUB). Each of these will supply power to anadditional 20 devices. If "T" connections arerequired, or if data needs to be extended, aPSR is necessary. A LightSync Hub (See Figure1.9) provides “home run” wiring capability.Consult factory for details.

Each device node is addressed via addressdials that are part of the device. Possibleaddresses for device nodes are 01-20. Theseare a different set of addresses from the con-troller node addresses.

If your project features device nodes, consult Section 4 for details.

Figure 1.5 – Data Cable Requirements

Data Cable RequirementsDefinitions:

Category 5 Cable (UTP-Unshielded Twisted Pair)- A 4 pair high performance cable that consists oftwisted pair conductors, used mainly for data transmission. Basic CAT-5 cable was designed forcharacteristics of up to 100 MHz. NOTE: The twisting of the pairs gives the cable a certain amount ofimmunity from the infiltration of unwanted interference.

Category 5E Cable (Enhanced)- Same as Category 5, except that it is made to somewhat morestringent standards (see comparison chart below). The Category 5E standard is now officially partof the 568A standard. Category 5 E is recommended for all new installations, and was designed fortransmission speeds of up to 1 gigabit per second.

Below you will find a list of the required properties your selected cable must meet. You will also find alist of cables, which meet these criteria from several different manufacturers. At your option youmay utilize one of the below-suggested cables or have your cable supplier provide you with a suit-able alternative, which meets the listed criteria.

Category 6 Cable- Same as Category 5E, except that it is made to a higher standard (see comparison chart below). Category 6 is now part of the 568A standard.

Figure 1.6 – LightSync Network Cable Run Distance Detail

LightSync™ Network Cable Run Distance DetailDevices that operate on ILC’s LightSync CAT-5 , 5E, 6 data line include LightSync switches, photocells,and interfaces like the LightSync D-6 and SIB-4. A standard CAT-5 , 5E, 6 cable is used for the data lineand provides both data and power to these devices. There are limitations to the distance data cantravel over CAT-5 , 5E, 6 cable without loss, and distance limitations due to voltage drop associatedwith cable length and number of devices on the LightSync data line. These limitations are addressedby the addition of a Power Supply Repeater, Power Supply or LightSync Hub (see chart), depending onthe application. The specific use of these devices depends on the project layout.

There are four main areas of limitation to be addressed:

1. Total Data Line Overall Distance: The total data line end toend distance may not exceed 3000 feet without the addition of a PSR to the data line. Only a PSR will extend thedata line.

2. Total number devices (Lightmaster panels and LightSyncdevices): Total number of devices without a PSR is 32. A PSRwill add 31 more devices (PSRs are counted as a device).

3. Total number of LightSync devices powered: No Apprentice IIcontroller panel can power more than eight (8) LightSyncdevices on the data line without a PS, PSR or LightSync Hub(each can power up to 20 additional LightSync devices).

4. Total Power Cumulative Distance: The cumulative distancefrom each device to its power supply may not exceed 2000feet if powered by a Apprentice II panel, or 3000 feet if pow-ered by a PS, PSR or LightSync Hub.

25 feet

Total cumulative distance is equal to thetotal of the run to EACH device, 25 + 50 +50 = 125 feet in this example

ILC Power and Data Repeating DevicesA Power Supply Repeater (PSR) is both a power supply and data repeater and its primary purpose is torepeat data and provide a bridge to another data line capable of 3000 feet end to end. This devicealso has one incoming and two outgoing RJ45 ports to split the line into two different directions. The PSRalso adds power to LightSync devices for an additional 3000 cumulative feet.

A Power Supply (PS) provides additional power as needed to the LightSync data line. This is themost efficient option to compensate for voltage drop from multiple LightSync devices on the dataline. Note that a PS provides power only and does not repeat data.

A LightSync Hub (HUB) is a device that allows a home run configuration by providing RJ45 ports forup to 20 LightSync devices, supplying power and data up to 1500 feet per each port.

2.1 Pre-Installation Checks Do the following before beginning the installation:

1. Verify that you have received the properequipment. Check the packing slipagainst the materials you ordered andverify that the material is appropriate for the project. Check to ensure that thevoltages of the controller(s) transformersmatch the available power. Report anydiscrepancies or visible damage at once.

2. Review electrical prints and other relevant project documentation.

3. Ensure that you have a digital multi-meter.

2.2 Mounting the ControllerConsider the following when selecting a sitefor the ILC Apprentice II.

2.2.1 Location – Typically, the Apprentice IIcontroller is mounted near the lightingbreaker panel containing the circuits to becontrolled by the lighting relays. The enclo-sure is manufactured with pre-drilled mount-ing holes located near the four corners ofthe rear wall of the enclosure. Secure theenclosure to the mounting surface withhardware appropriate for the application.

2.2.2 Environmental Considerations – The ILCApprentice II is designed to operate in tem-peratures between 0 and 50 degrees C (32°-112°F) and10%-90% humidity non-condensing. 2.2.3 Distance From Hardwired Control Devices Hardwired switches, pilots and other controldevices can be located up to 1500 feet fromthe ILC Apprentice II controller using 18gauge wire. See LightSync section for dataline devices.

2.3 Wiring the Controller Perform the following procedures to wire theline and control circuits of the ILC Apprentice II.Do NOT apply power to any circuits untilinstructed to do so. Document all terminations.Remove fish paper voltage barriers prior to anywiring. Ensure all barriers are replaced prior topowering up the controller.

2.3.1 Wire the Control Transformer Run a dedicated 120 or 277 VAC circuit,including grounding conductor, and termi-nate it to the primaries of the ILC Apprenticeprocessor transformer and grounding lug.Cap the unused lead. (See Figure 2.1.)

VERY IMPORTANT: Keep all Class 2 (low volt-age) wiring separated from the high voltagewiring and routed as shown in Fig. 2.1. Failureto follow this procedure may interfere withthe operation of the controller.

2.3.2 Connect Line and Load – Connect lineand load wires of the line voltage circuits tothe Lighting Relays. (See Figure 2.2.)

2.3.3 Wire Switch Inputs - Wire the Class 2Switch Circuits. (See Figure 2.3.) 1. Run the required wiring between the con-

troller and the field-installed switches.Consult project documentation to deter-mine the type and quantity of requiredswitch circuits. Check each switch run toensure that there are no shorts betweenconductors or to ground. Also verify thatthere are no opens.

2. Make the connections at the switch end.

3. Make the connections to the controllerswitch input terminals.

If your installation involves LightSync dataline switches, see Section 4.

NOTE: Hardwire input numbers correlate tothe Output board that it is attached to. Forexample, an Input board associated with anOutput board controlling relays 5 to 8 wouldcontain inputs 5 to 8. Numbering conventionis from left to right, then drop down and goleft to right.

Objectives

In this section you will learn how to program theILC Apprentice II controller.

Conventions/Definitions

Actual key strokes/entries appear as arrows: forexample, � followed (if applicable) by theappropriate keyword. For example, to leave theHome screen, the entry is � EDIT. Each button tothe left controls a line on the LCD display. Thetwo buttons on the right control up and downscrolling when those arrows appear on thescreen. (See the figure below.)

The term default appears in this section. Defaultmeans the value or entry preprogrammed at thefactory. In many cases the default may beappropriate for your application, making fieldprogramming unnecessary. For examplemomentary ON/OFF is the default switch type;therefore, if 3 wire momentary switches are used

exclusively at your facility, you may not need tomake entries defining the SWITCH OPTION.

Another term used often is Home screen. TheHome screen is the top level screen of the con-troller. It features the controller name, the dateand the time. (See Figure 3.1.) The controller dis-plays this screen on power-up and at timeswhen you are not programming or checkinginput/output status.

Information Presentation

The information for each programming task ispresented in the following way: First, a screenflow diagram or diagrams illustrating the relevantdata entry screens. (This may be all the informa-tion that is required by the experienced user.)Second, a more detailed explanation of the rele-vant concepts and programming procedures willbe presented. Third, specific sample operationswill be displayed.

Relay Output Operations

CONCEPTS AND PARAMETERSYou can use RELAY OUTPUTS to view the cur-rent ON/OFF Status of the relay outputs. Youalso have the option of switching individualrelays, user defined relay groups or all thecontroller relay outputs ON/OFF from the key-pad. In addition you can define certain relayoutput parameters (See Tables 3.1, 3.2) andform relay groups.

Table 3.1

Parameter Key:RELAY: One of a possible 48 Relay Outputs

RELAY OUTPUT STATUS:ON = Turn Relay Output or Relay Group ONOFF = Turn Relay Output or Relay Group OFFSWEEP = Turn all of the controller relays ON or OFF

RELAY OUTPUT OPTIONS:TIMERS = how relay output will react to an OFFTimer. (The default is NO BLINK)PWR-UP = how relay output will react when thecontroller is powered up. The default is NOACTIONRELAY GROUP = a user defined group of relay outputs that will react as a group to a switch ortimer signal.

TIMERS Choice Definition

NO BLINK (default) The relay will not blink prior to an OFF Timer

BLINK The relay output blinks and postpones the OFF timer for a user defined time (2-99minutes) The default alert time is 5 minutes. If a switch controlling the relays is turnedON during this time, the OFF Timer is again postponed for a user defined period (5-999 minutes) or until the switch is turned OFF. The default override is 120 minutes.

HID DELAY Same as BLINK (the OFF timer is postponed) except that there is NO blink warning.

ALARM ON PLS During the ON pulse period (1-99 seconds programmable) the relay is cycled ONand OFF at 1 second intervals. The relay returns to OFF when complete. Used toalarm or buzzer signal applications

ALARM OFF PLS During the OFF pulse period (1-99 seconds programmable) the relay is cycled OFFand ON at 1 second intervals. The relay returns to ON when complete . Used in set-table blink alert applications.

ALARM ON Relay will turn ON for a programmed duration (1-99 seconds) and then return to theOFF state. Used for mechanically latching contactor control.

ALARM OFF Relay will turn OFF for a programmed duration (1-99 seconds) and then return to theON state. Used with sentry switch or Watt Stopper 110.

Note: how to change blink alert, override, and alarm pulse times defaults is done by selecting BLINKALERT/ALARMS from the TIMER menu.

PWR-UP Choices Definition

NO ACTION (default) The relay output holds its pre-existing state when power is applied or re-applied to thecontroller

TURN ON The relay output switches ON when power is applied or reapplied to the controller.

TURN OFF The relay output switches OFF when power is applied or reapplied to the controller

ON/IN:1 The relay output switches ON when power is applied or reapplied to the controller ifInput 1 is closed at the time of power-up.

How To Control A Relay or Relay Groupof Relays With a Switch

CONCEPTS AND PARAMETERSTo control a relay with a switch you must:

1. Define the selected switch input

2. Select the relay output or relay group thatthe switch controls

3. Define how the switch will control the relay.

NOTE: The ILC Apprentice II controller input canaccept dry contact inputs from 3 wire SPDTmomentary contact switches or 2 wire momen-tary and maintained contact switches. (SeeFigure 3.2)

NOTE: Hardwire input numbers correlate to theOutput board that it is attached to. For exam-ple, an Input board associated with an Outputboard controlling relays 5 to 8 would containinputs 5 to 8. Numbering convention is from leftto right, then drop down and go left to right.

Parameter Key:SWITCH INPUT OPTIONS:

INPUT = 1 of 48 possible controller switch inputs

TYPE = switch type (Default is MOM. ON/OFF; seeTable 3.3 for a list of possible switch types.)

RELAY = 1 of 48 possible controller relay outputs

RELAY GROUP = a user defined group of relay out-puts that will react as a group to a switch or timersignal.

ACTION = How the switch actuation will effect therelay. (Default is NO ACTION). Other possibleresponses ON ONLY, OFF ONLY, ON AND OFF,BLINK ALERT

conventional 3-way switching.

Set Preset 2-wire When momentary contact between ON and Common is made, the

Momentary controlled relay outputs will go to their programmed states.

Timed ON 2 or 3 wire Contact between ON and Common will turn relay outputs on for a

momentary programmed time. At the end of this time the controlled relays will

turn OFF. Contact between OFF and Common will turn relays OFF.

HID BI-LEVEL 3 wire The first contact between ON and Common, turns the ON/OFF ballast

momentary relay ON and the HIGH/LOW ballast relay HIGH (NC default) or Low

(NO default) and locks them in this position for a 15 minute warm up

period. Subsequent contact closures between ON and Common

toggle between HIGH and LOW. Contact between OFF and COMMON

locks both the ON/OFF and HIGH/LOW ballast relays OFF for 15 minutes.

Two-Step Group 2-wire Upon switch activation, Group A relays turn ON and Group B turn OFF.

Time Based Operations

CONCEPTS AND PARAMETERSYou can program the ILC Apprentice II con-troller to control a single relay output, a relaygroup, or a preset according to a time basedschedule. (A preset is user defined group ofrelays programmed to assume a pre-deter-mined ON/OFF pattern when invoked. Presetswill be discussed later in more detail.)

Time based control involves:

1. Defining the timer and any associated parameters.

2. Programming how the timer impacts theselected relay, relay group, or preset.

NOTE: You will need the latitude and longitudefor your location in order to define an AstroTimer. A listing of latitudes and longitudes formany major US cities is provided in theAppendix O.

Parameter Key:TIMER = 1 of up to 48 time based events thatimpact relays, relay groups, or presets. A NORMALtimer executes its function according to standardAM/PM time. This the default timer type. AnASTRO timer operates in relation to sunrise or sun-set. An OPEN/CLOSE timer is keyed to userentered facility open and close times. (BothASTRO and OPEN/CLOSE timers can be pro-grammed to occur at exactly sunrise/sunsetopen/close or offset either before or after thesetimes.) Open/Close Timers can be keyed to differ-ent open/close times. For example weekdayhours as opposed to weekend hours. AnOpen/Close timer can also be programmed toexecute on a specific date.

RELAY = one of 48 available relay outputs impact-ed by the timers

RELAY GROUP = one of 48 available user definedgroups of relay outputs that respond as a groupto a timer

PRESET = one of 48 available user defined ON/OFFrelay output patterns activated by a timer.

ACTION = How the timer will impact the relay out-put, relay group, or preset. The default is NOACTION (The timer has no effect on the relay,relay group, or preset.) Other possible entries are:

TURN ON (used with relays and relay groups)TURN OFF (used with relays and relay groups)ACTIVATE (used with presets)

LightSync™ Device Switching

4.0 Section Overview

This section covers installation and program-ming procedures required to implementLightSync™ switching via a Apprentice II controller. You should be equipped with the following tools (available from ILC): CAT-5 Terminal Crimping Tool – ILC Part No. (1 ea): 93000801LanRover Pro CAT-5 Tester –ILC Part No. (1 ea): 93000811

System Overview/Guidelines

You can control relay outputs and monitorswitch and switch pilot status over the con-troller’s communications bus. Most switchfunctions available via hardwired connectionto the switch inputs are also available forLightSync™ switching (see Figure 4.10). TheApprentice II Network supports up to 32LightSync™ switch nodes. Note: Theseaddresses are separate set of addresses fromthe Apprentice II Expansion Panel (slave)node addresses.

The communications media is an 8-wire 24-gauge CAT-5 cable terminated at thecontroller CPU Board RJ-45 female connec-tors. (See Figures 4.1a and 4.1b.) Run the CAT-5 cable between the controller and speciallydesigned LightSync™ devices installedthroughout the facility. (See Figure 4.4a and4.4b.) There are limitations to the distance thatdata can travel over CAT-5 cable without loss,and distance limitations due to voltage dropassociated with cable length and number ofdevices on the LightSync™ data line. (SeeFigure 4.2b for detail.) The devices areequipped with two RJ-45 connectors. Eachswitch must have a unique node address (01-20). (See Figure 4-5.) NOTE: LightSync™ switchnode addresses are preset at the factory.

LightSync™ switches are available in momen-tary pushbutton, maintained, or key switchconfigurations. Switches are available withup to 6 pushbuttons mounted on a singlegang plate. Key switch nodes are limited to

one per gang. In addition to the switches, aLightSync™ photocell node (Figure 4.6), a 4-input switch station (SIB-4) (Figure 4.7), and a6-Input/Output module (D-6) (Figure 4.8) arealso available. Each Apprentice II controlleror expansion panel controller may power upto 8 LightSync™ switch nodes. No ApprenticeII controller panel can power more thaneight (8) LightSync™ devices on the data linewithout a Power Supply (PS), Power SupplyRepeater (PSR) or LightSync Hub (each canpower up to 20 additional LightSyncdevices). (See Figures 4.2a, b and c). PSRsare also required if the installation layoutrequires “T” connections (one incoming andtwo outgoing lines). (See Figure 4.9.)

4.1 Installation

1. Check the electrical prints and other jobdocumentation to determine the mostefficient way to route the CAT-5 cable aswell as the number and location of anyrequired repeaters.

2. Run the cable between the Apprentice IIand all the LightSync™ node locations.Observe all guidelines detailed in Figure 4-2a.

3. Install the male RJ-45 connectors on thecable ends and verify the integrity ofcable runs with a CAT-5 cable tester.

Note: The Apprentice II expansion panelcontroller and device node address are sep-arate sets. Therefore it is possible, for exam-ple, to have a slave node 03 and a devicenode 03.

4. Set each node address and plug thecables into the appropriate controllersand device nodes.

5. Power-up the Apprentice II controller andexpansion nodes. (If necessary, seeSection 2 for required guidance.)

6. Program the switches and define the relayoutputs/relay groups that each switchcontrols. (See programming informationlater in this section.)

7. Actuate each switch to verify correctoperation.

Figure 4.1a – Data Cable Requirements

Data Cable RequirementsDefinitions:

Category 5 Cable (UTP-Unshielded Twisted Pair) – A 4 pair high-performance cable that consists oftwisted pair conductors, used mainly for data transmission. Basic CAT-5 cable was designed forcharacteristics of up to 100 MHz. NOTE: The twisting of the pairs gives the cable a certain amount ofimmunity from the infiltration of unwanted interference.

Category 5E Cable (Enhanced) – Same as Category 5, except that it is made to somewhat morestringent standards (see comparison chart below). The Category 5E standard is now officially partof the 568A standard. Category 5 E is recommended for all new installations, and was designed fortransmission speeds of up to 1 gigabit per second.

Below you will find a list of the required properties your selected cable must meet. You will also find alist of cables, which meet these criteria, from several different manufacturers. At your option youmay utilize one of the below-suggested cables or have your cable supplier provide you with a suit-able alternative, that meets the listed criteria.

Category 6 Cable – Same as Category 5E, except that it is made to a higher standard (see comparison chart below). Category 6 is now part of the 568A standard.

• Observe all ILC Data Cable Requirements and LightSync™ Cable Run Distance requirements as they pertain to your project in laying out the cable runs.

• Maintain the twists of the pairs all the way to the point of termination, or no more than 1” untwisted.

• Make gradual bends of the cable, where necessary. No sharper than a 1” radius.

• Dress the cables neatly with cable ties. Use low to moderate pressure.

• Use low to moderate force when pulling cable.

• Use cable pulling lubricant for cable runs that may otherwise require great force to install.

• Keep cables away from potential sources of EMI (electrical cables, transformers, light fixtures, etc.).

• Install proper cable supports, spaced no more than 5 feet apart.

• Always label every termination point. Use a unique number for each cable segment. This will makemoves, adds, changes and troubleshooting as simple as possible. Document these onto a riser.

• Always test every installed segment with a CAT-5 cable tester.

• Always leave extra slack in the cable run, neatly coiled up in the ceiling or nearest concealed place.

• Always use grommets to protect the cable when passing through metal studs or anything that can possibly cause damage to them.

• Always follow all local and national building and fire codes. Be sure to “firestop” all cables that pene-trate a firewall. Use plenum rated cable where it is mandated.

• Do not pull ANY data cable or switch wires with high voltage wires.

• Keep all low voltage totally separate from ALL high voltage. Failure to do so will void the ILC warranty.

• Always contact ILC on installations between buildings or cable pulled underground. Special considera-tions may be needed.

CAT-5 Data Cable and Class 2 Switch Wiring Installation Guidelines

ILC Power and Data Repeating Devices OverviewA Power Supply Repeater (PSR) is both a power supply and data repeater and its primary purpose is to repeat data and provide a bridge to another data line capable of 3000 feet end to end. This device also has one incoming and two outgoing RJ-45 ports to split the line into twodifferent directions. The PSR also adds power to LightSync™ devices for an additional 3000 cumulative feet.

A Power Supply (PS) provides additional power as needed to the LightSync™ data line. This isthe most efficient option to compensate for voltage drop from multiple LightSync™ deviceson the data line. Note that a PS provides power only and does not repeat data.

A LightSync™ Hub (HUB) is a device that allows a home run configuration by providing RJ-45ports for up to 20 LightSync™ devices, supplying power and data up to 1500 feet.

Figure 4.2b – LightSync Network Cable Run Distance Detail

LightSync™ Network Cable Run Distance DetailDevices that operate on ILC’s LightSync CAT-5 , 5E, 6 data line include LightSync switches, photocells,and interfaces like the LightSync D-6 and SIB-4. A standard CAT-5 , 5E, 6 cable is used for the data lineand provides both data and power to these devices. There are limitations to the distance data cantravel over CAT-5 , 5E, 6 cable without loss, and distance limitations due to voltage drop associatedwith cable length and number of devices on the LightSync data line. These limitations are addressedby the addition of a Power Supply Repeater, Power Supply or LightSync Hub (see chart), depending onthe application. The specific use of these devices depends on the project layout.

There are four main areas of limitation to be addressed:

1. Total Data Line Overall Distance: The total data line end toend distance may not exceed 3000 feet without the addition of a PSR to the data line. Only a PSR will extend thedata line.

2. Total number devices (Lightmaster panels and LightSyncdevices): Total number of devices without a PSR is 32. A PSRwill add 31 more devices (PSRs are counted as a device).

3. Total number of LightSync devices powered: No Apprentice IIcontroller panel can power more than eight (8) LightSyncdevices on the data line without a PS, PSR or LightSync Hub(each can power up to 20 additional LightSync devices).

4. Total Power Cumulative Distance: The cumulative distancefrom each device to its power supply may not exceed 2000feet if powered by a Apprentice II panel, or 3000 feet if pow-ered by a PS, PSR or LightSync Hub.


25 feet

Total cumulative distance is equal to thetotal of the run to EACH device, 25 + 50 +50 = 125 feet in this example

HID BI-LEVEL LightSync SIB-4 The first contact between ON and COMMON turns the ON/OFF ballast

relay ON and the HIGH/LOW ballast relay HIGH (NC default) or Low

(NO default) and locks them in this position for a 15-minute warm-up

period. Subsequent contact closures between ON and COMMON

toggle between HIGH and LOW. Contact between OFF and COMMON

locks both the ON/OFF and HIGH/LOW ballast relays OFF for 15 minutes.

Two-Step Group LightSync Switch, Upon switch activation, Group A relays turn ON and Group B turn OFF.

LightSync SIB-4, The following activation causes Group A to turn OFF and Group B to

LightSync D-6 turn ON. The pattern repeats with each switch activation.

Four-Step Group LightSync Switch, On the first activation, Group A relays turn ON and Group B turn OFF.

LightSync SIB-4, On the second activation, Group A relays turn OFF and B turns ON. The

LightSync D-6 third activation causes both A and B to go ON. On the fourth ,

activation both A and B go OFF. Then the pattern repeats.

Timer Disable LightSync SIB-4 As long as the switch is closed, selected timers are disabled.

Timed ON LightSync Switch, When momentary contact is made between COMMON and ON, relay

LightSync SIB-4, outputs are turned ON. When contact is broken, a timed ON duration

How To Control a Relay or Relay GroupFrom a LightSync™ Switch Node

CONCEPTS AND PARAMETERSTo control a relay or relays from a LightSync™line switch node, you must:

1. Define the selected switch node.

2. Select the relay output or relay group thatthe switch node controls.

3. Define how the switch node will control the relay.

LIGHTSYNC NODE CONTROL: PARAMETERS/OPTIONS:

NODE = 1 of 32 possible controller switch nodeaddresses. (01-20 Hex.) Note that nodes contain-ing more than one device have address hardencoded suffixes to differentiate the devices. Forexample, the third pushbutton of a 6 pushbuttonstation you address as node 06 would be 6.3.

TYPE (node) = the physical configuration of thenode – 1-6 pushbutton station, 4 input switch station (SIB-4), 6 unit I/O unit (D-6), data line photocell.

CONFIGURE = the process of defining the para-meters of each device making up the switchingnode.

INPUT = the node address of the device, which isto control the Relay or Relay group.

TYPE (functional) = the operational characteristicsof the input. (See Table 4-10 for possible choices.)

RELAY = 1 of 48 possible controller relay outputs.

RELAY GROUP = a user-defined group of relay outputs that will react as a group to a switch ortimer signal.

ACTION = how the switch actuation will affect therelay. (Default is NO ACTION.) Other possibleresponses are ON ONLY, OFF ONLY, ON AND OFF,BLINK ALERT.



SAMPLE OPERATION: Control a Single Relay Output From a Switch Node

Define the LightSync™ Switch Node:


2. When the Main menu appears, press � SWITCHINPUTS; then press � LIGHT-SYNC INPUTS.

5. Press � TYPE; then press � or � until the physicalswitch node type appears.

6. Press � CONFIGURE to access the second configuration screen.

7. If necessary, press � or � until the sub-address of thedevice you want to define appears. NOTE: On multi-device nodes, each device will have a distinct sub-address, which can be assigned its own functionswitch type. For example: in a 3-button pushbuttonaddressed as 06, the buttons would be 06.1, 06.2, and06.3, respectively.

8. Press � TYPE; then press � or � until the desiredfunctional switch type appears. Note: Functionalswitch types are limited by the physical node type.(See Table 4-10.)

• With the addition of a DMX 512 interfacecard, the ILC Apprentice II controller supports the control of non-dimmed loadsvia standard USITT DMX 512 communica-tions protocol.

• The physical link is a standard USITT DMX512 control cable (18 gauge, shieldedtwisted pair) that runs from the DMX outputof the theatrical lighting controller to theILC Apprentice II DMX communicationsport. The DMX 512 interface mounts belowthe ILC Apprentice II CPU board. (SeeFigure D-1.)

• You can program the ILC Apprentice IIwith desired ON and OFF DMX signal levelsand then select how the ILC Apprentice IIrelay outputs will respond.

• You set common ON and OFF DMX signallevels for all DMX 512 channels (1 to 512channels). However, you can programrelay action on an individual channel basis.

DMX ON and DMX OFF Levels:Any time a DMX channel is at or above theON level, the relay(s) mapped to that chan-nel will be forced ON regardless of anyswitch input or timer control. Any time a DMXchannel is at or below the OFF level, therelay(s) mapped to that channel will beforced OFF regardless of any switch input ortimer control. While a DMX channel is belowthe ON level and above the OFF level, therelay(s) mapped to that channel are able tobe controlled by switch inputs and timers.

EXAMPLE 1: To lock out all control other thanDMX, set the DMX ON level to 90% and theOFF level to 10%. By setting the DMX signallevel to 100% or 0%, the relay(s) will turn ONor OFF and also revert to the desired position after any change due to a switchinput or timer.

EXAMPLE 2: To control relays via DMX andalso allow switch inputs or timers to changethe position, set the DMX ON level to 90%and the OFF level to 10%. By momentarilysetting the DMX signal level to 100% andthen setting it to 50%, the relay(s) will beturned ON and local control will return. Bymomentarily setting the DMX signal level to0% and then setting it to 50%, the relay(s) willbe turned OFF and local control will return.

DMX Filter:The Filter setting determines the number oftimes the ILC Apprentice II must receive aconstant value on a DMX channel prior toperforming the control mapped to thatchannel. The Filter may be set from 1 to 16.Lower Filter settings make the ILC ApprenticeII respond faster to DMX commands. HigherFilter settings prevent undesired relay controldue to momentary zero levels on DMX chan-nels. The Filter setting does not directly corre-spond to DMX frame counts due to the ILCApprentice II not reading each frame.

E.2 Objectives

After reading Appendix D, you will be ableto program the ILC Apprentice II to imple-ment DMX control.

Appendix M: MODBUS Communications

ILC Apprentice II User Manual M-1Version 1A 9/1/06

M.1 Overview

MODBUS protocol is an industrial communi-cations and distributive control system devel-oped by Gould-Modicon to integrate pro-grammable logic controllers (PLCs), comput-ers, terminals and other monitoring, sensing,and control devices. With the addition of aILC MODBUS Add-On Module, and setting aunique address via the mudule’s address DIPswitches, the ILC Apprentice II lighting con-troller can become a Slave NODE on theMODBUS Network. (See Figure M-1.)

M.2 Structure

MODBUS is a Master/Slave communicationsprotocol. One device (the Master) controls allserial activity by selectively polling one or moreof the slave devices. The maximum number ofslave devices is 247 per network. Each device(node) is assigned a unique address to distin-guish it from all the other nodes.

Only the Master initiates a transaction.Transactions are either a query/response (onlya single slave is addressed), or a broadcast/noresponse (all slaves are addressed). A transac-tion comprises a single query and singleresponse frame or a single broadcast frame.

Certain characteristics of the MODBUS proto-col are fixed: frame format, frame sequences,communications error handling, exceptionconditions, and the functions performed.Other characteristics are selectable: transmission media, baud rate, characterparity, number of stop bits, communicationserror handling, exception conditions, andfunctions performed.

M.3 Transmission Modes

The transmission mode is the structure of theindividual units of information within a mes-sage, and the numbering system used totransmit the data. Two transmission modesare available. Both provide the same com-munication capabilities. The mode slecteddepends on the equipment used as theMODBUS master. Only one transmissionmode may be selected per network. Mixingmodes on a single network is not allowed.The two available tranbsmission modes areASCII (American Standard Code ForInformation Interchange) and RTU (RemoteTerminal Unit)

M.3.1 ASCII

Coding System – ASCII (7 Bit); hexadecimaluses ASCII printable characters (0-9, A-F)Start Bits – 1Data Bits (least significant first) – 7Parity (optional) – 1 (1 Bit set for even or odd,no Bits for no parity )Stop Bits – 1 or 2Error Checking – LRC (LongitudinalRedundancy Check)

M.3.2 RTU

Coding System – 8 Bit BinaryStart Bits – 1Data Bits (least significant first) – 8Parity (optional) – 1 (1 Bit set for even or odd,no Bits for no parity )Stop Bits – 1 or 2Error Checking – CRC (Cyclical RedundancyCheck)

M.4 Transmission ModeCharacteristics

ASCII printable characters are easy to viewwhen trouble shooting and this mode is suit-ed to PLC masters and computer mastersprogrammed in a high level language, suchas VISCOM BASIC.

In RTU mode, data is sent in 8-bit binary char-acters. In ASCII mode, data is divided intotwo 4 bit parts and then represented by thehexadecimal equivalent. ASCII mode usestwice as many characters as RTU mode butdecoding is easier.

In RTU mode data must be transmitted in acontinuous stream. In ASCII mode breaks ofup to one second can occur between char-acters to allow for a relatively slow master.

M.5 Hardware Setup

The ILC Apprentice II must be equipped witha MODBUS add-on card and addressed witha unique node address (See Figure M-1). Thenetwork cable is a two wire shielded twistedpair. Consult the Automation system providerfor the exact specifications. Terminate thecable as shown in Figure M.1.

M.6 Required Parameter Entries

After setting the MODBUS card address DIPswitches, you must power up the ILCApprentice II controller and define certain operational parameters for MODBUS communication. (See Fast Track diagram onnext page.)

M.7 Framing

Both ASCII and RTU transmission modes feature mechanisms to indicate the begin-ning and end of a frame, the node address,a function code (the type of informationsought/command signal), a data field indicating the particular point or registeraccessed. See Table M-1 for data field I/O point designators for a ILC Apprenticenode.

M.8 Supported Commands

Appendix P: Photo Control Applications

ILC Apprentice II User Manual P-1Version 1A 9/1/06

P.1 Overview

ILC Corporation manufactures photo controlsystems specially designed to work with theApprentice II Controller. One model is hard-wired to the Apprentice II Controller. The othermodel is installed as a LightSync™ devicenode and communicates with the ApprenticeII via a CAT-5 data cable.

P.2 Hardwired Model

The hardwired photo-controller system fea-tures two main components: the controllerboard and the photo sensor. Both indoor andoutdoor sensors are available. The photo con-trol features an indoor range of 1-100 footcandles (fc) and an outdoor range of 1-1000foot candles. The photo controller supportsindividually selectable ON/OFF set points.There is also a time delay feature to preventnuisance switching. The photo control boardis powered by either a 12 VAC or a 12 VDCpower supply. See Figures P.1 and P.2 fordetailed setup and installation instructions.

P.3 Programming

1. Program the Apprentice II switch input that the photo-controller is wired to as aMAINTAINED ON/OFF switch TYPE.

2. Program the Input/Relay control of therelay or relay group that the switch controls.

Consult Section 3 of this manual for detailedprogramming information.

P.4 LightSync™ Model

If you are not familiar with Lightsync™ dataline concepts and installation proceduresconsult Section 4 of this manual.The LightSync™ photo controller is installedas a LightSync™ device node and communi-cates with the Apprentice II Controller overthe CAT-5 data cable. The LightSync™ photocontroller features 8 sets of independentlyadjustable ON/OFF set points each with 256possible set point steps. Each step equateson average to the foot candle levels shownin Table P.1 (Component and environmental

variables may require adjustments from thesesettings to attain a desired foot candle level.)Either an indoor or an outdoor photo eye isavailable. The photo eye may be installed upto 5000 ft. from the photo controller using 18-gauge wire. The settings are programmed atthe Apprentice II Controller. See Figures P.3and P.4 for Installation detail.

Photocell Controller Board Installation Guide

Installation 1. Mount the control module either in, or remote

from, the lighting control device. When interfac-ing with a ILC Apprentice II controller, it is usuallyeasiest to mount the photocell control modulein the low voltage section of the controller. Ifchoosing to mount the control module remote-ly, do not exceed a distance of 5000 feet fromthe control module to the ILC Apprentice con-troller. Use 18 gauge conductors. If the photo-cell controller is used to interface with non-ILCmanufactured equipment, consult the manu-facturer’s literature for guidance.

2. Install the sensor and terminate it to the sensorinputs on the photocell control module. Use 18gauge wire and keep the distance under 5000feet. If the sensor is for an outdoor application,

mount it on a roof or equal facing north with itshood on top and facing away from any night timelight sources. Indoor sensors should be installed 6-8feet from windows, with the sensing eye pointeddown and away from any direct lighting.

3. Depending on the application, wire the photo-cell control module output to the input of thelighting control device. Use 18 gauge conduc-tors. Use a dedicated output when interfacingwith an ILC controller. (Program the selectedlighting controller switch input as MaintainedON/OFF.) Use the SPDT dry contact output wheninterfacing with other devices. Caution: Do notexceed 1500ma @ 30 VDC.

4. Wire the 12 VAC or VDC power source to the photocell control module power input terminals.

Figure P.2– Hardwired Photocell Setup

Photocell Controller Board Setup Guide

DescriptionThe ILC Photocell is an electronic device whichsupports the ON/OFF control of lighting circuits.The lighting circuits are controlled indirectly bymeans of the photocell controller module main-tained contact closure signals sensed by theswitch inputs of ILC Apprentice II lighting con-trollers or by dry contact outputs to other deviceswhich control line voltage loads via low voltage(Class 2) signals. The photocell control modulecan be mounted either on the manufacturer pro-vided plastic channel for installation in the lightingcontroller, or in an enclosure suitable for remotemounting. The photocell control module requireseither a 8-12 VAC or 12 VDC power source tooperate. It is recommended that the powersource feature a disconnecting means to facilitate service.

The photocell control module outputs respondwhen the photocell sensor detects the user select-ed ON and OFF foot candle level. Both outdoorand indoor sensors are available depending onthe required application.

Setup (See above example)

1. Jumper the photocell control module for either outdoor or indoor depending on yourapplication.

2. Set the desired ON and OFF foot candle levels by turning the rotary switches to thedesired settings.Typical settings: outdoor – ON at 25fc, OFF at 75fc; indoor – ON at 4fc, OFF at 10fc.

3. Energize the 12 VAC or 12 VDC power.

4. Simulate dark and light conditions at the sensorand make any required adjustments on therotary switches. Note: On power up there is a 15-25 minute setup period during which thecontroller will react instantly. After the setup time has expired, there is an 8-12 second timedelay to prevent nuisance switching during normal operation.
