Description

The WattStopper LMCS-100 Configuration Software allows users to read, store configurations and modify

DLM parameters for easy computer based configuration. It communicates from the computer to the DLM

network using the LMCI-100 Interface, which is a USB dongle that connects a computer’s USB port to the

Digital Lighting Management (DLM) local network through its RJ45 connector.

Operation

The user connects the LMCI-100 to a DLM local network by plugging an LMRJ cable connected to that net-

work into the device’s RJ45 port. To connect to the LMCS-100 software, the user plugs the LMCI-100’s

USB connector into the USB port of a PC, then starts up the LMCS-100 software. LMRJ cables should

never be plugged into an Ethernet port on a computer or wall.

PC-Based Configuration

LMCS-100 software features intuitive graphics to identify current DLM system settings, allowing users to

easily store or modify settings. With the software, users can also reconfigure DLM devices by changing

parameters and/or setting operational values. LMCS software may also be used to load new firmware with

enhanced features into DLM devices without removing installed products.

Applications

Designers can take advantage of these computer interface tools to simplify project design, startup and doc-

umentation. The LMCS software can be used to set up many advanced features of DLM devices that are

beyond the scope of Plug n’ Go, Push n’ Learn and the LMCT-100 wireless configuration tool. Fur-

thermore, the LMCI-100 and LMCS-100 facilitate preparation of commissioning documentation, which is

especially helpful for LEED projects.

What's New in this version

LMCS 4.2 is intended to replace the prior version application known as LMCS 4.0. The following are

enhancements in LMCS 4.0 and later versions:

l A more modern user interface, including enhanced graphical icons to indicate various devices, and

more intuitive user interface for selecting parameters (for example: using checkboxes to indicate

enabled options rather than ‘magic numbers’ such as 0xFF)

l Documentation and User Interface Tool Tips for all devices and parameters

l A redesigned database for storage of information to facilitate improved query and reporting fea-

tures

l Support for Daylighting devices

l An online User’s Guide

l Ability to “Discover” all supported devices in the room, and then utilize the ‘saving’ feature to

retrieve and then save devices to a database. Database storage shall persist for use in a later ses-

sion, such that it may be utilized to restore data in case of data loss or device replacement in the

field.

l Reports

l CAD Import

l Experimental support of BACnet access to room devices

of 96


Key Features

The primary functions from LMCS 4.2 include:

l Ability to document a ‘project’ made up of multiple virtual ‘areas’, which may in turn contain addi-

tional ‘areas’ or ‘rooms’. A room is then used as a container for a set of DLM devices. This doc-

umentation may be saved to disk for later retrieval. Through this process an entire project utilizing

DLM devices throughout the facility may be documented in advance, or post installation via dis-

covery.

l Capability of saving all parameters from all supported DLM devices on an IRB network prior to the

boot load, as well as on user command. (See Appendix A.)

l Capability of performing a ‘boot load’ (aka firmware update) of all supported devices in the room to

the latest available firmware for the given device.

l Capability of restoring all parameters to all supported DLM devices on an IRB network after a boot

load, as well as on user command.

l Ability to communicate to a ‘Room Network’ (IRB) of WattStopper DLM devices via a connection

on the USB port of the computer, utilizing the LMCI-100 Digital Computer to DLM interface.

l Ability to display and control Load status for loads on a Room Controller, as well as current power

usage for Room Controllers which support this data.

l Support for a specific set of DLM devices. (See Appendix A.)

l For each supported device, the baseline of configuration parameters should be at a minimum the

parameter set that is supported by the LMCT device handheld programmer.

l In addition to the standard baseline parameters, there is provisions for additional parameters to be

set via an ‘Advanced’ or ‘Technician’ mode of operation, which will allow further ability to configure

devices. (All parameters are device specific.)

l Ability to generate a number of advanced reports including Room Controller Settings, Occupancy

Sensor Settings, Switch Settings and Load Bindings reports.

Note:

A list of devices supported by LMCS 4.2 are listed in Appendix A.

A list of devices NOT supported by LMCS 4.2 are listed in Appendix B.

DLM Commissioning Software (LMCS-100)

Introduction

The Digital Lighting Management Commissioning Software (LMCS-100) provides the capability to view

and change DLM device parameters either while online with the devices on the local network or offline (not

connected). The software may be used to commission a site for later download or directly connect to the

local network in a room to read and write directly to the devices. LMCS-100 software requires a direct con-

nection to any open RJ-45 port for connection to the room and the LMCI-100 USB adaptor for connection

to a personal computer. The LMCS parameters Read and Send via BACnet/IP are also a supported con-

nection method in LMCS v4.1.

Commissioning is accomplished in two ways: offline and online. In offline commissioning, a project is first

created and modified without connection to the actual IRB device network. In this way, much of the work

in setting up device parameters can be done prior to loading at the commissioning work site.

Online commissioning has the benefit of using the Discovery feature of the LMCS-100 software. Once

connected to the IRB network, the Discovery automatically gathers information about the devices on the

network and the current parameter values for each device. From the discovered devices a room can be

instantly created in a project or area that is an exact model of the current network. Device parameters can

be changed and uploaded directly to the connected network.

This document will guide the user in installing and accessing the features of the LMCS-100 software. It is

not intended to provide detailed information about the function or operation of the DLM room devices nor

their parameters. For detailed information about applying DLM and use of the many available settings

and features see the DLM Design Guide.

Target Audience

Users of LMCS-100 include:

l Project Managers – who document large projects (pre-commissioning) to help generate submittals

and parameter sets that can be used in later field commissioning


Page 7 of 96


l Field Service / Installers – who configure DLM devices on the job site perform, field firmware

updates, and diagnose issues

l Sales / Sales Support / Sales Representatives – who present DLM features and best practices

l Commissioning Agents – who will document (and modify) the field configuration of devices and gen-

erate reports based on those configurations

l Building Owners / Operators – who want to configure rooms after installation and maintain device

configuration information

Installing the LMCS-100 Software

Operating System Access Rights

The LMCS-100 software is targeted for the Microsoft Windows 7 operating system platform, suitable for

installation and use on a standard notebook (or desktop) computer.

As with all Microsoft® Windows 7, Windows XP professional and Windows Vista systems, in order to

install the software the installer must have local administrator access rights to the computer. If your com-

puter is administrated by your company’s IT department, a qualified IT representative may need to per-

form the installation.

Software Packages Needed

The following software packages are needed for correct operation of the LMCS-100 application.

l LMCI-100 Device Driver

l Microsoft .NET Framework 4

l LMCS-100 Application

License Agreement

By installing the LMCS-100 software you are agreeing to the terms in the license agreement which can be

found in the “license.pdf” document in the top level directory of the CD.

Installation from the Web

Using any of the common browsers, download the installer from the following address:

http://apps.wattstopper.com/software/LMCS100v4/

http://apps.wattstopper.com/software/LMCS100v4/


Page 8 of 96


If you will be using the LMCI-100 device then you will need to download both the LMCI-100 Device Driver

and the LMCS-100 installer. The LMCI-100 Device Driver should be installed before inserting the USB

device into the computer and before running LMCS-100.

If LMCS-100 is to be used for documentation purposes only, then you may skip the LMCI-100 installation

and proceed directly to the LMCS-100 installation.

After the download is complete, do the following to install the software:

Follow the instructions on the screen by first installing the LMCI-100 drivers (you can skip this step if they

have been installed previously) and then installing the application. The software will start up automatically

once the installation is complete, a new Icon (called LMCS-100) will appear on the desktop and a new pro-

gram link will be created on the Windows Startup menu.

Note 1: Internet Explorer may be configured to warn you upon the installation software that the pub-

lisher cannot be verified. This is expected and you should simply continue by clicking on “Run”.

Note 2: The installation package will automatically detect if your computer has the “.NET Framework

4.0 SP1” installed on your computer and will download it and install it if it is not found. This process can

take a very long time.

LMCI-100 Device Driver

Install the device driver by double clicking the downloaded driver file. The software will normally pop up a

temporary command line window and automatically install the driver. No other indication will be given that

the installation has finished. If a command line window is not displayed then the device installer needs to

be run again.

LMCS-100 Application

Double click the LMCS-100 MSI file downloaded from the web page above. The installer will automatically

determine the prerequisite software and install necessary packages as needed. LMCS-100 requires the

“Microsoft .NET Framework 4” in order to run. This package will only need to be installed the very first time

LMCS-100 is installed. This process may take a long time to complete. Subsequent updates will be much

faster.


Page 9 of 96


Note : The installation of this package (should your system need it) will take several minutes to com-

plete.

Connecting the LMCS-100 Software to the Room

Plug the LMCI-100 into an available USB port on the computer running the LMCS-100 software. Plug an

LMRJ cable from the DLM Local Network into the RJ45 port on the LMCI-100.

Note: You can start the software without the LMCI-100 USB dongle connected but the software will be

in OFFLINE mode. In order to communicate with the DLM network and subsequently upload or down-

load commissioning information to the network, the LMCI-100 must be connected to the computer's

USB port before the software is started.

Running the Software

Start the LMCS-100 software by either double clicking on the green LMCS-100 icon on your desktop or by

selecting the program via the Windows Start menu.

The LMCS-100 application will automatically start up on the Home Tab and a 'New Project' is auto-

matically opened.

How to Develop a Project

Page 21 of 96



Creating a Project Off-line

The LMCS software can be used to create a Project file prior to the equipment being installed in a

building. In this way, much of the work in setting up device parameters can be done prior to loading at the

commissioning work site.

In offline commissioning, a project is first created and modified without connection to the actual

DLM device network. In this way, much of the work in setting up device parameters can be done prior to

loading at the work site.

When creating the project, areas and rooms are created in the project and devices are selected from the

Add Devices menu to build a model of the system to be configured. Device parameters of the individual

DLM devices can then be modified and saved.

A meaningful name should be given to the project by typing in the Name: box at the top of the right hand

screen frame.

The navigation tree on the left side of the screen will always display the hierarchy of the open project. This

tree view of the project can be used to select an area or room for focus in the right hand screen frame.

Creating Areas and Rooms

Areas can represent general groupings of rooms in a facility such as 2nd Floor or South Wing.


Page 22 of 96


Actions that are available for an Area are:

l Add Area – adds new Area immediately below the currently selected item

l Add Room – adds new Room following the last Room below the currently selected Area

l Delete Area – deletes the current Area. Disabled if the current Area is the Root node

Adding an Area to the Project

To add an area to the project:

l Click on the Add Area button.

Note that a new icon appears in the navigation tree. The new icon will be added below the icon that is

presently selected. Similar to the top level project icon, the area can be given a meaningful name by typ-

ing in the Name: box while the area is selected in the tree.

Adding a Room to the Project

1. Highlight the Area in the tree under which you wish to add a new room.

2. Click on the Add Room button. 3. The new Room will be created within the selected Area.

4. Highlight the room, then type a meaningful name for the new room in the text box.

5. Repeat the process to add all necessary rooms to this area or click on the new room to begin adding

DLM devices to the room.

Basic Tab

Each Room screen provides a text box labeled Notes: under the Basic tab where you may explain the

intended sequence of operation for the room. It is strongly recommended that you take advantage of this

field and provide information about why the room being configured as it is and the intended operation

based on the various settings of the room devices.


Page 23 of 96


Advanced Tab

The Advanced Tab is intended for specialty applications where basic parameters are insufficient, most

applications will not require Advanced parameters.

Building a Room using DLM Components

Adding Devices

The Add Devices menu provides access to all of the available DLM room

devices that can be added to a room. Use the pull down menus to add the

devices to the room.

Controllers

There are several models of room controllers in the Add

Room Controller gallery. These are divided by functional

type: Small Room Controllers, Enhanced Room Con-

trollers and Plug-In type Load Controllers. Two are small

room controllers identifiable by the number of loads con-

trolled by each respectively, enhanced room controllers

with dimming capability and two load plug-in type room

controllers.


Page 24 of 96


Occupancy Sensors

The Add Devices - Occ. Sensor gallery currently holds a number of dif-

ferent occupancy sensor models corresponding to whether they are PIR,

ultrasonic, or dual technology and whether they are wall or ceiling moun-

ted.

Switches

The Add Devices Switch gallery holds eight models of switches identifiable by the number of buttons on

each switch and whether they are Dimmers or Wall Switch Sensors.


Page 25 of 96


Daylighting Sensors

The Add Devices Daylighting Sensors gallery holds the LMLS-400,

LMLS-500, LMLS-600 and LMIO-301 Digital Photocell Input model.

Device Elements

Note that as devices are selected, icons appear in the tree view under the room. Some devices such as

Room Controllers and Switches have additional elements that can be displayed by clicking the down-arrow

beside the device. Room controllers have load elements and switches have button or scene elements.

Note that when working off-line, some fields that are not available

will be grayed out. These fields will be active either while LMCS

is connected live to the room or after an installed room has been

discovered by LMCS.

Synchronizing with a Discovered Room

A room that is created off-line is an image of the intended installed

room. Until the off-line image is synchronized with the actual

installed DLM devices, it is documentation only. After syn-

chronization, it will be capable of live interaction with the room


Page 26 of 96


devices and allow adjustment of settings. It is intended that there is a one to one relationship between the

DLM devices in the off-line created room and the discovered room.

1. Click on the room in the tree view that is to be synchronized to open the room view in the right hand

screen frame.

2. Click on the Sync Devices button above the right hand screen frame to start the process.

3. A dialog box will open that will allow you to monitor the process.

4. If the off-line room and the discovered room do not match, an error message will result. Click

Cancel, resolve the difference and try again.

Click the Finalize button to perform the synchronization. Note that once the process is com-plete the documented devices in the room will now exhibit the settings and serial numbers of the actual

installed devices.

Creating a Room from Discovery

Online commissioning has the benefit of using the Discovery feature of the LMCS-100 software. Once

connected to the IRB network, the Discovery automatically gathers information about the devices on the

network and the current parameter values for each device. From the discovered devices a room can be

instantly created in a project or area that is an exact model of the current network. Device parameters can

then be changed and uploaded directly to the connected room.

Discover Room

From the Home screen in a new Project, click the Discover button located above the right hand screen

frame.

This will open a dialog box that will monitor the discovery process.


Page 28 of 96


After the discovery process is complete, click the Close button to continue. Click on the newly discovered

room in the tree view to open it in the right hand screen frame.

Note that after a discovery, LMCS will display a snapshot of the room device parameters and status that

were in effect at the time the discovery was completed. The parameters and settings can be updated in

LMCS at any time either individually per device using the Read button for a device or globally for the room

using the Read All Devices button.

Working with Scenes

Rooms that have dimming capable room controllers will include a box at the top of the screen for man-

aging scenes in the room. Provided the LMCS software remains connected to the room, the Scenes func-

tions will be live in real time.

Activate a Scene - highlight a scene number in the list and click the Activate button to initiate the scene in

the room.

Edit a Scene - highlight a scene number in the list and click the Edit button. The lights in the room will

fade to the levels currently saved in the scene. Note that factory default for scenes 1 - 4 is 100%, 75%,

50% and 25% for all loads respectively. The Scene Editor box will open.


Page 29 of 96


By default all loads in the room are selected to participate (Follow) in each scene. Click on the check box

for a load to exclude or include it in the scene.

Target Level - use the slider to adjust the light level for a load. The lights will dim in real time as the slider

is adjusted. Adjust all loads for the scene then click Close.

Note: The new levels for the scene will not become active in the room until they are saved in the room

controller. Click the Send All Devices button to send the levels to the room controller(s).

Updating DLM Firmware over BACnet

Bootloading DLM devices over BACnet is a powerful new feature in LMCS-100. Instead of visiting each

room and directly connecting to the DLM network the user can now connect to an IP BACnet network and

remotely update firmware from a central location.

Requirements for Updating Firmware over BACnet

1. The MS/TP BACnet network must be tested and vetted.

2. LMCS-100 must have direct network access to the BACnet network.

3. The Bridges must be documented and have the Device IDs assigned.

4. The other DLM room devices must be documented and have the Serial Numbers assigned.

WARNING: Changing the serial number on the LMBC-300 Network Bridge causes the

device to be reset to factory defaults including the BACnet communication properties.

Changing the BACnet properties can cause the bridge to loose communication with the

BACnet network. If a bridge is being replaced in the field and the serial number must be

changed to match the previous bridge then the original properties should be transferred into

the new bridge as soon as possible.


Page 30 of 96


As a best practice, it is recommended that room devices be discovered first before performing a firmware

update. This allows the room parameters to be sent back to the room following the firmware update and it

also preserves the device serial number in case there are issues during the firmware upgrade.

To connect to BACnet, a valid BACnet IP connection must be selected. This can be performed in the bot-

tom, right corner of LMCS-100. Choose the Network Interface Adapter that is connected to the BACnet IP

network at your location. Both wired and wireless connections can be used.

Starting the Bootload Process

To begin the firmware updating process select the “Support” tab at the top of LMCS-100 and click on the

Update Firmware toolbar button to open the Update Firmware dialog box.

Icon Function

This opens the update firmware dialog box (shown below), which

allows for some customization of firmware that is used and to send

new firmware to the DLM room devices.


Page 31 of 96


This form provides options to choose the factory firmware that comes with LMCS-100 or to select a cus-

tom firmware folder.

l Custom Firmware Directory - The custom firmware option is often used when older firmware is

required or some other specialty project needs.

l Reset to Factory Defaults following bootloading - This option forces the DLM room to reset to

factory defaults after the firmware update. This is the recommended practice so newly updated

devices can be properly initialized. Following a successful firmware update the room programming

can be transferred.

Check the box next to each device that you wish to update. Then click the Update button to start the update.

DLM Project Firmware Import

LMCS-100 now supports importing a specific firmware version into the DLM project file. This feature

allows a project to lock in a specific firmware version that meets special requirements for certain DLM pro-

jects. To import a firmware folder into the DLM project file click the “Project” toolbar button.


Page 32 of 96


The Project editor is displayed. This opens a dialog box where information about the project can be

entered. Enter a name for the project in the Name text box. Enter detailed information about the project

in the Project Notes text box.

To import firmware, press the Import button and select the folder that contains the firmware you want to

use for this site. This folder must contain certain files and be formatted correctly.

Note: Only use a folder (or zipped file folder) provided by the WattStopper Engineering or Technical Sup-

port teams.


Page 33 of 96


Once imported, the firmware can be either viewed in the file list box. The firmware can also be cleared or

exported using the 'Clear' or 'Export' buttons. The initial Update Firmware form will indicate that embed-

ded firmware will be used as shown below.


Page 34 of 96


Press the “Update” button to bring up the “Firmware Update over BACnet” form (if a valid BACnet con-

nection on the main LMCS-100 form was properly selected).


Page 35 of 96


This form allows you to change the firmware for all devices in rooms with a supported bridge. Multiple

rooms can be updated at the same time. This is currently based on the number of networks.

Firmware Update Options

Device Class

The Device Class drop down allows you to choose the types of devices to be updated. Choices include: All

Devices, BAS Module, Daylighting Controller, Occupancy Sensor, Plug Load Controller, Room Controller,

Switch and Wall Mounted Sensor. By default, “All Devices” is selected.


Page 36 of 96


Update Type

This drop down allows you to specify what type of update will be applied to the devices. By default, the

“Upgrade” option is selected for factory firmware while “Upgrade/Downgrade” is selected when firmware

has been imported into the DLM project file.

l Upgrade – update devices only if given firmware is newer than existing firmware.

l Force Upgrade – forces firmware update if equal to or older than given firmware.

l Upgrade/Downgrade – forces upgrade or downgrade of the firmware to the given version unless it

already matches.

l Force Upgrade/Downgrade – forces all selected devices to be updated to the given version. Does

not check existing version.

For example, if the Device Class is set to All Devices, and the Update Type is set to Force Upgrade/Down-

grade, all devices in the selected rooms will be updated with the given firmware.

When the “Auto Select” option is checked, rooms will be automatically checked based on device class and

update type selections. Checking “Auto Select” also offers a quick way to tell which devices require updat-

ing by selecting different device classes and observing the checked rooms in the grid.

Initial Room and Device Status

Prior to firmware transfer all rooms and devices are marked with a status based on the selected firmware

(factory or imported firmware). These status include:

l Current – device firmware matches proposed firmware.

l Upgradeable - device firmware is older than proposed firmware.

l Downgradeable - device firmware is newer than proposed imported firmware.

l UpDowngradable - (for Rooms only) mix of devices either Upgradeable or Downgradable.

l Unsupported – no proposed firmware available for the given device.

Room Selection Options - Firmware Update over BACnet

By default, any room that has devices with out of date firmware will automatically be selected when this

form is first displayed. If more refined selections need to occur, filter and sorting tools can be used.


Page 37 of 96


Sorting

The rooms displayed in the grid can be sorted and/or grouped by any column. To sort data by a column

click its column header. The column's current sort order is indicated by the sort glyph (a small arrow dis-

played at the column header's right edge). If the data is sorted in ascending order, the sort glyph uses an

up-arrow. When sorting in descending order, the sort glyph is displayed as a down-arrow. If the

column isn't sorted, no glyph is shown.

Room Selections displays a grid with eight columns: Room, Update, Network, Count, Device, Room,

Room Log and Status. You can click on one of these buttons title to sort by any of these eight columns, or

by using the filtering options.

Filtering

Filtering allows you to display a subset of the records in the data source that meet particular criteria. When

filtering is applied to the room grid, displayed records are restricted to those that meet the current filter


Page 38 of 96


criteria. Data can be filtered against single or multiple columns. Filters can be applied by selecting a

column's value from the filter dropdown, using the filter row, building a filter via the Filter Editor, or by

using the Custom Filter Dialog. The filter dropdown list is accessed by clicking on the filter button (small

funnel icon) in the column header.

The dropdown list will contain predefined values along with values of the items in the column. The most

recently used filter conditions are displayed at the top of the list. Applying a filter to a column does not

affect the filter settings of any other column. After a filter has been applied, the filter panel appears at the

bottom of the grid.

l To clear the filter, press the ‘x’.

Another way to filter data is by using the automatic filter row. This row is displayed at the top of the grid,

and data is filtered by typing text directly into this row. The filter editor allows users to build complex filter

criteria with unlimited number of filter conditions, combined by logical operators. It is accessed by right-

clicking on a column header and selected “Filter Editor” or by selecting 'Edit Filter' at the bottom right side

of the form.


Page 39 of 96


The custom filter dialog is accessed by clicking (Custom) from the filter dropdown list. It allows users to

set filter criteria for a column. Filter criteria can consist of one or two filter conditions combined by AND or

OR Boolean operators.

“Select All Rooms” and “Select No Rooms”

The “Select All Rooms” and “Select No Rooms” buttons are convenient for selecting all or none of the cur-

rently displayed rooms.

Warning: rooms that are filtered out (hidden from the grid) will not be affected by these buttons. The total

number of rooms selected is shown to the right of the selection buttons.

Once the final selections are made, press the Start button to begin transferring firmware. Pressing “Start”

will disable the selection buttons and combo boxes, and will automatically apply a filter that only shows

rooms marked for updating. The overall progress will be displayed in the Device Progress group box just

below the Start button. The individual room and device progresses and statuses will be displayed in the

grid. Overall progress information is displayed in the list box at the bottom of the form. The rooms and

devices in the grid can have one of several statuses.


Page 40 of 96


In Progress Room and Device Status

During the update process all rooms and devices will show the following:

l Current – firmware is up to date, no firmware will be transferred.

l Pending - waiting to be updated to proposed firmware

l In Progress - the device is currently being updated and progress indicated by the “Device” column

l Completed - the room or device was successfully updated.

l Failed – the room or device failed to be updated. Review the room “Message List” for details of the

failure.

Note: Clicking the ‘+’ symbol opens up the room allowing you to see more details, including the list of

devices and the room message list. The room message list shows details of the firmware transfer process.


Page 41 of 96


WARNING: It is important not to turn off your computer or allow it to sleep/hibernate during firmware

updates. If for some reason you need to stop the update process, press the Stop button. When Stop is

pressed, the devices currently in progress will finish their firmware updates, but no pending devices be

updated. There may be several minutes before the active devices can complete the update process and

allow LMCS-100 to be closed.

When the firmware updates have completed, a log of all of the status messages will be saved in same

folder as the DLM Project file. The name of the log file will have the following format: “Bootlog-yyyymmdd-

hhmmss.xml” where yyyymmmdd is the current date, and hhmmss is the current time. The data is stored

in an XML format. This data can be opened/viewed by a normal text editor, by a web browser (like Internet

Explorer), or any XML editor. It can also be imported into Excel.

BACnet Firewall Issues in Windows

To protect computers from hackers most in-bound ports are closed and restricted from use. The program

that monitors this feature is called a “Firewall”. In order to allow LMCS-100 to work correctly on a BACnet

network, one or more of these ports must be opened on the computer. The default ports used in BACnet

range from 0xBAC0 to 0xBACF (47808 to 47823). On small networks generally 0xBAC0 is used by itself.

Each application that opens an in-bound port must register itself with the Firewall. Depending on user per-

missions and corporate policy, allowing this port to be opened may be restricted. If this is the case then the


Page 43 of 96


user must contact the administrator or help desk of the organization that manages this computer. The fol-

lowing notes are primarily designed for a user that has full administrative rights on the local machine.

However, the help desk will need much of this information to assist them in properly configuring LMCS-

100 to work with BACnet.

To connect to a BACnet network, a Network Interface must be selected. This can be done at the bottom

right corner of the main LMCS-100 screen. Often, all of the computer’s Network Interfaces will be listed in

the drop down so some knowledge of the network setup for BACnet will be needed. Often times it will be

the first “wired” connection.

At this point a Windows Firewall warning may popup a dialog. This dialog is different depending on the ver-

sion of Windows that LMCS-100 is running on.

Symptoms of Windows Firewall Issues

If any of the following issues arise while using LMCS-100 with BACnet then the Windows Firewall may be

the cause.

1. Unable to discover network routers.

2. Successfully discovered routers but not Network Bridges (LMBC-300s).

3. A previously discovered or connected room or device no longer responds

The last issue could have several causes including loss of power, changes in wiring, as well as a blocking

firewall. The following directions for configuring Windows Firewall include details for both Windows 7 and

Windows XP.

Windows 7 Professional and Windows Vista for Business

Once the Network Interface is selected a Windows Firewall warning dialog will appear. Click the checkbox

marked “Private networks, such as my home or work network”. Depending on how your network is con-

figured the “Public networks” option may also need to be checked. This will allow LMCS-100 to work cor-

rectly with the BACnet network. Click “Allow Access” to complete the dialog. You will need administrative


Page 44 of 96


privileges to change Windows Firewall settings. If you are unable to do so then you will need to contact the

administrator or your help desk.

The easiest way to test BACnet operations is to perform a network discovery with LMCS-100. With an

empty project, click the “Discover” button on the Area form. LMCS-100 will perform a “Who-Is Router” com-

mand that should discover 1 or more BACnet networks. If at least one network is discovered then select at

least one of those networks and attempt to discover rooms (LMBC-100 Network Bridges) on that network.

If that succeeds as well then BACnet is properly configured. If at any point devices are not discovered that

are expected to appear (wiring and networking has been tested and confirmed working by a technician)

then proceed to the following Windows Firewall configuration changes.

Before making any changes to the Windows Firewall regarding LMCS-100, LMCS-100 should be shut

down. After shutting down LMCS-100 open the Windows Control Panel and click “System and Security”:


Page 45 of 96


Under “Windows Firewall” click “Allow a program through Windows Firewall”

The list of Windows Firewall enabled applications is displayed.


Page 46 of 96


Scroll down the list of programs that Windows Firewall knows about and find “LMCS-100”. You may see

several different entries depending on how many older versions were installed and are still in use. You can

double-click each entry to see where it is installed. To edit or remove an entry you must click the “Change

Settings” button and possibly authenticate before being allowed to make changes. The easiest way to fix

firewall issues with LMCS is to delete the LMCS-100 entries and restart LMCS-100. When LMCS-100 is

restarted, the initial Windows Firewall warning will return. If only one checkbox was checked earlier then

check both boxes (“Private networks” and “Public Networks”).

Alternative Windows 7 Firewall Configuration

For expert users the “Windows Firewall with Advanced Security” tool can be used. This tool is part of

“Microsoft Management Console”. The easiest way to access this tool is to type “Firewall” in the Start but-

ton search box (Click the Start button and start typing).

With the tool open, select “Inbound Rules” and scroll down until the Name “LMCS-100” is found.


Page 47 of 96


To enable BACnet communication the rule must allow an incoming UDP connection on at least a “Private”

network but may also need the “Public” network to also be enabled. It may be easiest to delete ALL

LMCS-100 Inbound Firewall Rules and then restart LMCS-100 to revisit the Firewall warning dialog.

Windows XP Professional

Once the Network Interface is selected a Windows Security Alert warning dialog will appear the very first

time LMCS-100 creates the BACnet port.

Click the “Unblock” button to allow BACnet communication for LMCS-100. Typically that is all that needs

to be done in Windows XP. To test BACnet launch LMCS-100, select the appropriate network and click

the “Discover” button on the Area form near the top. At least one or more networks should be discovered.

If one or more networks are discovered then select one or more of the networks with known and working

Network Bridges (LMBC-300s) and discovery them. All active bridges should be found.

If there is difficulty discovering networks or bridges then the Windows Firewall needs further attention.

Open “Control Panel” and click “Security Center”.


Page 48 of 96


At the bottom of Windows Security Center is the “Windows Firewall” configuration tool, click on it.


Page 49 of 96


This will bring up the “Windows Firewall” configuration tool.


Page 50 of 96


Verify the Firewall is “On” then select the “Exceptions” tab at the top.


Page 51 of 96


Verify that “LMCS-100” is selected as an exception to the firewall rules. If it is checked and LMCS-100 is

unable to properly connect to BACnet then delete the entry and relaunch LMCS-100.

IMPORTANT! As a safe security practice be sure to keep Windows up to date.

Loads

Room controllers each contain from 1 to 3 loads based on their model number. The loads can be

accessed either by expanding a room controller in the tree or from the room controller's information frame

when the Room Controller is selected in the tree view.


Page 55 of 96


Note: Loads are numbered 1 through 64 (Load ID) as room controllers are added to a room based on the

serial number of the room controller. However, the A, B and C load designation within a room controller is

constant and will not change. See the DLM Design Guide for a detailed explanation of load numbering.

Load tabs are color coded red, yellow and blue. These colors correspond to the actual color of the wires on

the RC used to connect the loads. Click on a Load tab on the room controller page or click on a load in the

tree view to display the load parameters.

Load ID - Shows the load ID.

Description - Shows a description of the load. Enter a unique name for this load into the text box.

Load Type - Use the pull-down menu ▼ to select: Switched, Dimmed (0-10v), HID (No Blink Warn).

Note : For the LMRC-101, 102 the only choices are switched and HID.

Room Controllers with Phase Dimming include the LMRC-221 and 222. They have the following options

under Load Type:

l Switched

l Incandescent

l Mark X

l Hi-Lume

l HID - No Blink Warning

Basic and Advanced Load Parameters

A number of Basic and Advanced load parameters have features that can be set to behave differently

based on the schedule mode of the room. While in Basic or Advanced settings, select the Normal Hours

tab to set load parameters for normal hours room mode, or select After Hours to set load parameters for

after hours room mode.


Page 56 of 96


Note: The normal hours/after hours room mode is typically set by a schedule running on the segment man-

ager or by the LMIO-101. This mode can also be set for testing purposes using the LMCS-100 software or

the LMCT-100 commissioning tool.

Sensor mode - The Sensor mode determines if the load can be turned on automatically by a sensor, or

only manually by a switch. Click in the Sensor Mode pull-down menu to adjust the Sensor Mode. Menu

Options ▼are ‘Follow On and Off’ and ‘Follow Off Only’.

Depending on the Load type the basic tab parameters will differ as follows:

l Switched Load - Use Blink Warn box; no Grace Time box & Trim Level can not be set

l HID No blink warning - Use Grace Time box & Trim Level settings

l Load type - Plug Load (cannot be changed)

Normal Hours/After Hours Settings for Loads

Use Blink Warn - The Blink Warning flashes the load OFF then ON one minute prior to the sensor auto-

matically turning the load OFF when the time delay expires.

l Check the box to adjust the Blink Warning. Options are ‘Enable’ (checked) or ‘Disable’ (unchecked).

Note: Switched mode will not have a Use Blink Warning box.

Trim Level - This option is not available for switched load types.


Page 57 of 96


l Low Trim - Minimum value

Entering a Low Trim value limits how low a load is allowed to dim. This overrides any other

light level settings. The value options are 0-99% in 1% increments. This is shown in the Min

text box, where you can also enter this value. 100% to 0% range with a low trim of 5% and a

high trim of 90% means that the load output now shows 1% in LMCS at 5% the range of the

dimmer and 100% in LMCS at 90% the range of the dimmer.

Note: Switched mode will not have a Trim Level box.

l High Trim- Maximum value

Entering a High Trim value limits how high a load is allowed to dim. This overrides any other light

level settings. The value options are 1-100% in 1% increments. This is shown in the Max text box,

where you can also enter this value.

Preset Level - Entering a Preset value causes the lights to go to this light level each time they are turned

on. By default, the value is set to Use Last Level, which turns the load on to its last used level.

Fade Trip Point - For a Switched load, the only parameter that is adjustable is the Trip Point. The Trip

Point determines at what point in a ramp or fade the load turns ON or OFF. The value options are 1%,

25%, 75%, 51% or 100%. The default is 51%.

Transition Level - Menu options are: Nothing, Go To Level, Keep Timer, Last Non Zero and Relinquish.

Go To Level allows you to adjust the settings using the slider bar.

Switched Load Parameters

For a Switched load, the only parameter that is adjustable is the Trip Point. The Trip Point determines at

what point in a ramp or fade the load turns ON or OFF if a dimmer is bound to that switched load or if that

switched load is part of a scene.. The value options are 1%, 25%, 75%, 51% or 100%. The default is

51%.


Page 58 of 96


Advanced Load Parameters Tab (Bottom)

Lamp Burn-in Time

The Lamp Burn-In Time feature located at the top left area of the screen allows the user to burn-in, or sea-

son, all of the lamps associated with the load. This is most often done to fluorescent lamps to insure sta-

bilization of the lamp and/or dimming compatibility.

The value options are 0, 12 or 100 hours. If 12 or 100 hours is entered, then the associated lights remain at

100% light level at any time they are turned ON until the number of hours has elapsed. The light may be

turned ON or OFF as desired, however they do not respond to dimming during this time.

Clicking on an occupancy sensor in the tree will open that device for editing in the right hand screen frame.



l Description - you may enter any descriptive name for the device in the text field

l Location- Text which describes the physical location of this device, such as electrical room number

Sensor Configurations

Clicking on either the Basic tab or the Advanced tab will show the available parameters grouped by their

complexity.

Basic Tab Settings

The Basic Tab consists of the following settings:

Follow After Hours - When checked, the occupancy sensor uses the special After Hours properties when

the room goes into After Hours mode.

Detection LEDs- Check to enable detection LEDs

Occupancy State - Occupied when motion detected, Vacant when no motion detected following the

Time Delay period.

Control Type: Indicates whether this occupancy sensor will control loads directly (Load) or via scenes

(Scene). Select Load or Scene.


Page 60 of 96


Controlled Loads

By default the occupancy sensor will control all loads in the room indicated by a check mark. Uncheck a

load to exclude it from control by this occupancy sensor.

Adjusting Sensor Parameters

Normal Hours/After Hours Settings for Occupancy Sensors

A number of Basic and Advanced load parameters have features that can be set to behave differently

based on the schedule mode of the room. While in Basic or Advanced settings for an Occupancy Sensor,

select the Normal Hours tab to set load parameters for normal hours room mode, or select After Hours to

set load parameters for after hours room mode.

Note: The normal hours/after hours room mode is typically set by a schedule running on the segment man-

ager or by the LMIO-100. To test via LMCS, go to the Advanced Tab for the Room and select either "Set

Normal Hours" or "Set After Hours".

Override the sensor: When the override function is selected, the LCD display will show “OVER”. This set-

ting overrides all sensor functions and bypasses the occupancy control function of the sensor, but still

allows the lights to be manually controlled with a Lighting Management switch, if one is installed.

Time Delay - : The sensor will hold the lights on as long as occupancy is detected. The time delay count-

down starts when no motion is detected. After no motion is detected for the length of the time delay, the

sensor will turn the lights off. You can select between the following time delay options:

Fixed time delay: When a fixed time delay is selected the LCD display will show “T-DELAY” . You can

select a numeric value that ranges from 1 to 30 min using the slider.

Adjusting Sensitivity

For dual technology sensors, both technologies appear on the screen, otherwise the screen only presents

the applicable technology.


Page 61 of 96


Passive Infrared Sensitivity (PIR): 0 to 100% with 10% increments. The LMDC-100 can fine tune its

PIR sensitivity for optimal performance.

Ultrasonic Sensitivity (US): When Ultrasonic sensitivity is selected, the LCD display on the Occupancy

Sensor will show “US” and a numeric value which ranges from 0 to 100% with 10% increments. The

LMDC-100 can fine tune its Ultrasonic sensitivity for optimal performance. In the event the sensitivity is

0%, the sensor won’t transmit any Ultrasound.

Detection Scheme Trigger

Detection Scheme: the LMDC-100 has 16 logic configurations set by the selection of 4 Trigger and 4 Ret-

rigger combinations.

Trigger: When detection trigger is selected, the LCD display on the Occupancy Sensor will show “DETECT

TRIG” and options of technologies (see below for details). This is the method that activates a change from

“standby” (area unoccupied and loads are off) to “occupied” (are occupied and loads are on).

Detection Scheme Retrigger

l Retrigger: When detection retrigger is selected, the LCD display will show “DETECT RETRIG” and

options of technologies (see below for details). This is the method indicating that the area is still

occupied and the lights should remain on.

For each of these methods, the user can select between the following options:

l Passive Infrared Only: requires detection by the PIR

l Ultrasonic: requires detection by the Ultrasonic

l Either Passive Infrared or Ultrasonic: requires detection by only one technology

l Both Passive Infrared and Ultrasonic: requires detection by both technologies

Use Walk Through Mode - : This function can be either enabled or disabled. Walk-through mode turns

the lights off three minutes after the area is initially occupied, if no motion is detected after the first 30

seconds. If motion continues beyond the first 30 seconds, the selected time delay applies. By default Walk

Through mode is disabled.

The LMSW-10x series are DLM low voltage momentary switches. In a dimming system, you can configure

the buttons on LMSW switches to be either load control or scene control buttons. The switches and dim-

ming switch (dimmer) operate on 24VDC supplied by WattStopper room controllers. They communicate

with other DLM devices over the DLM Local Network.

Scene buttons have valid use cases in non-dimming systems. Scene buttons have implications for day-

lighting that are useful in switched load scenarios.

The LMDM-101 is designed as a dimming switch with a single rocker paddle and seven vertically aligned

LEDs to indicate the relative light level of the load(s) it controls. When it is bound to more than one load

these LEDs show the highest level of any load.

The LMSW-105 is designed specifically for dimming systems. Each of its four small scene buttons recalls

one of four scenes and its rocker paddle is a load dimming switch. The scene buttons can be changed to

load buttons using the LMCS-100 software.

Control Mode - Control Mode is used to set the control behavior of the photosensor. The current control

mode is displayed in the text box. This can be changed to Normal, Test, Demo, or Disable using the pull-

down menu.

l Normal mode allows the photosensor to take control of the daylighting loads.

l Test Mode shortens timeouts for switching operation, and speeds ramp rates for dimming oper-

ation, to allow quick verification. Test Mode cancels automatically after 5 minutes.

l Demo mode will allow the photosensor to select a set of preset parameters. This mode should only

be selected when demonstrating the functionality of the unit is desired.

l Disable mode prevents the LMLS-400 from controlling any daylighting loads. This parameter is

mostly used for troubleshooting purposes.

Override Timeout - If the Override Time parameter is changed from its default (Infinity) to a fixed time

(e.g., 1 hour), all loads presently overridden will return to automatic daylighting control after the selected

time period lapses. Any loads not affected by the switch actions causing the override will continue to be

controlled by daylighting; overrides occur on a load-by-load basis. If any daylighting loads are presently

overridden, the blue LED in the sensor head will flash once every four seconds. To provide the ability to set

Hold Off - The Hold Off setting selects the behavior of daylighting loads when they are turned ON, by a

switch or occupancy sensor.

If Hold Off = <No> (default), the loads can always be turned on to their previous level, and then will begin

to adjust based upon daylight. If Hold Off is checked (Yes), the sensor will limit the loads to the level

presently allowed by daylight contribution. This means that the loads may not initially turn ON (if the ambi-

ent light level is high - above the ON or Dimming Setpoint), but will become active for daylighting control,

and will turn ON or dim up as daylight contribution drops.”

Override Allowed - Determines if overriding the photosensor is permitted or not. Available choices:

Checked (Yes) or unchecked (No).

Scenes Disable Daylighting - When unchecked (set to No), the sensor allows daylighting to adjust

light levels, up to the level recorded in the Scene, even though a scene is active. When checked (set to

Yes), daylighting control is disabled for any loads on which a scene is recalled until a change is manu-

ally made to the level of a load in the zone, or until the next cycle of occupancy.

Follow After Hours - When the checkbox is selected, the photosensor will ignore After Hours and will con-

tinue to operate as normal. When deselected (set to No), the daylighting controlled loads that are set to

After Hours mode will be temporarily be removed from daylighting control while in the After Hours state.

Working with Controlled Loads

The LMLS-400 has the capability to operate using continuous dimming, stepped dimming or simple switch-

ing. Use the check boxes to select the loads for control appropriate to the type of operation mode selected.


Page 79 of 96


Operation Mode: Switched, Bi Level, Tri Level or Dimming

Once an operating mode is selected, you will need to assign specific loads to daylighting control. Load

assignment is analogous to binding.

On Setpoint - The target illuminance level at the sensor, below which the LMLS-400 turns the lights ON.

l The ON Setpoint values available for manual adjustment are: 1.0- 3000 footcandles; note that cal-

ibration can automatically select a value not in this list.

l Established by calibration, or selected footcandle setting (Default: 7.5 fc)

l Target illuminance measured at the sensor below which daylighting loads will turn ON.

Off Setpoint - The target illuminance level at the sensor, above which the LMLS-400 turns the lights OFF.


Page 80 of 96


l The OFF Setpoint corresponds to the ON Setpoint multiplied by 1.25, 1.50, 1.75 or 2.0. This

ensures that the OFF Setpoint is always higher than the On Setpoint.

l Established by calibration, or selected footcandle setting (Default: 11 fc)

l Target illuminance measured at the sensor below which daylighting loads will turn OFF.

On Setpoint Delay - The time interval that must elapse, with the measured level below the ON Setpoint,

before the controlled lights turn on.

l Range: 1 sec to 60 sec.

Off Setpoint Delay - The time interval that must elapse, with the measured level above the OFF Set-

point, before the controlled lights turn OFF.

l Range: 3 min to 30 min.

Operation Mode - Dimming

Day Setpoint - The desired light level at the sensor during daytime. To determine the correct dimming

level for any given photocell reading, it calculates the level based on the slope between the day and the

night setpoint.

l Range: 1 fc to 255 fc.

Night Setpoint- The desired light level at the sensor during nighttime. To determine the correct dimming

level for any given photocell reading, it calculates the level based on the slope between the day and the

night setpoint.


Page 81 of 96


l Range: 1 fc to 255 fc.

Note: The Day Setpoint must always be greater than the Night Setpoint.

Ramp Up Rate- Determines the speed (or rate) at which the light level of bound loads increases. The

default is 20% per second because the end user needs light quickly.

Range: 1% per second to 100% per second.

Ramp Down Rate- Determines the speed (or rate) at which the light level of bound loads decreases. The

default is 2% per second because a slow ramp down will help the eye adapt to the new light level.

l Range: 1% per second to 100% per second.

Cut Off Delay - The time that the controlled lighting will remain at a minimum dimmed level, even with

high daylight contribution, before the lights will be switched OFF.

l Range: Never to 30 min.

The Operation Mode pull-down menu offers the following : Switched , Bi-level,Tri-level or Dimming

l Switched - Switched mode provides ON/OFF switching within the daylighting zone controlled by

the photosensor.

l Bi-level - Bi-level mode provides three light levels within the daylighting zone controlled by the pho-

tosensor by using 2 load circuits.

l Tri-level - Tri-level mode provides four light levels within the daylighting zone controlled by the pho-

tosensor by using 2 load circuits.

l Dimming - Dimming mode provides continuous dimming within the daylight zone controlled by

the photosensor.

Once an operating mode is selected, you will need to assign specific loads to daylighting control. Load

assignment is analogous to binding.

On Setpoint - The On Setpoint values available for manual adjustment are: 1.0- 3000 footcandles; note

that calibration can automatically select a value not in this list.

l Established by calibration, or selected footcandle setting (Default: 7.5 fc)

l Target illuminance measured at the sensor below which daylighting loads will turn ON.

Off Setpoint - The target illuminance level at the sensor, above which the LMLS-400 turns the lights OFF.

The OFF Setpoint corresponds to the ON Setpoint multiplied by 1.25, 1.50, 1.75 or 2.0. This ensures that

the OFF Setpoint is always higher than the On Setpoint.

l Established by calibration, or selected footcandle setting (Default: 11 fc)

l Target illuminance measured at the sensor below which daylighting loads will turn OFF.


before the controlled lights turn on.

DimmingSetpoint - The desired light level to be maintained by daylighting control, as measured at the

down looking sensor. When the present measured light level differs from this setpoint by more than approx-

imately 7%, the sensor will attempt to adjust the electric lighting to compensate.

l Range: 0 to 65 fc

Ramp Up Rate- Determines the speed (or rate) at which the light level of bound loads increases. The






Cut Off Delay - The time that the controlled lighting will remain at a minimum dimmed level, even with

Network Bridge

l LMBC-300 )Digital Network Bridge)

Note: The LMBC-300 is not Boot-Loadable by LMCS over IRB due to device design.

WARNING: Changing the serial number on the LMBC-300 Network Bridge causes the device to

be reset to factory defaults including the BACnet communication properties. Changing the BACnet

properties can cause the bridge to loose communication with the BACnet network. If a bridge is

being replaced in the field and the serial number must be changed to match the previous bridge

then the original properties should be transferred into the new bridge as soon as possible.

See device installation and LMCT-100 instructions for information on function of parameters on above

devices.
