POWERLINK G3 Panelboard

WHY LIGHTING CONTROL?

Lighting is the largest single consumer of electric power in a typical building, often exceeding over 30% of the total energy cost. That’s why lighting control is so important. By controlling lights during non-occupancy periods, energy cost associated with lighting can often be reduced by over 50%. In addition, lighting control also helps defer replacement costs of lamps and ballasts by reducing the number of annual burn hours.

Many building codes now require the use of lighting controls to reduce energy consumption. Meeting such requirements, while still creating a comfortable and productive workspace, requires an intelligent lighting control system. Providing light, where and when needed, while reducing lighting in unoccupied areas is the main function of an intelligent lighting control system.

The Solution—POWERLINK G3

For many designers, the task of engineering a suitable lighting control system has become a daunting task. The designer must balance space constraints, equipment and installation costs, maintenance and operational concerns, and above all, ensure a code-compliant installation. Fortunately, the POWERLINK G3 Lighting Control System is the solution for all these concerns. This system addresses many of these concerns by:

• Using a standard Square D Type NF Lighting Panelboard: Square D is the only manufacturer that offers a lighting control system that mounts in a standard lighting panelboard. All POWERLINK G3 components mount in the panel just like a standard circuit breaker. Documenting your control system layout is as simple as indicating which branch circuits are to be controlled.

• Saving space: Since the lighting control system is located inside the lighting panelboard, valuable wall and floor space is available for more productive uses. Square D also offers space-saving, column width panelboards and flexible modular panelboard systems.

• Complying with codes: With today’s high available fault currents, it’s extremely important that your system meets code requirements. The POWERLINK G3 is fully UL Listed and meets NEC 110-10 requirements.

Choose Your System Capabilities

The POWERLINK G3 product line offers a simple, cost-effective means for controlling branch lighting circuits. Three systems are offered that support a variety of capabilities depending on your application needs.

500 Level System

The 500 level system is designed to be used in conjunction with other control devices such as external time clocks, access systems, occupancy sensors, or other building systems that provide either dry-contact closures or digital serial communications. In response to these commands, the controller will automatically switch a programmed group of lighting circuits. The controller also contains both RS-232 and RS-485 communication ports and can be easily interfaced with a building automation system.

1000 Level System

The 1000 level system includes all the features of the 500 level system and incorporates a flexible time scheduler that eliminates the need for external time clocks. This time scheduler includes many control features that are not found in traditional, mechanical time clocks or energy management systems. These features include automatic daylight savings adjustments, sunrise and sunset tracking according to geographic location, and special events that will run only on specific dates. The 1000 level system is ideally suited for stand-alone systems in retail, office, institutional, and industrial facilities.

2000 Level System

The 2000 level system combines the control, input, and scheduling features of the other systems with the added benefit of embedded Ethernet connectivity. This provides the ultimate in control capabilities and communication with a true peer-to-peer (P2P) control network that allows different controllers to share input signals, schedules, and lighting zone states. For instance, the status of a photo sensor input connected to one controller can be shared across multiple panels, allowing this single sensor input to control branch circuits in other 2000 level POWERLINK panels located throughout a facility.

Using Ethernet connectivity, network installation costs are reduced by eliminating the need for a dedicated lighting control network. The network can be maintained by your existing network support staff. This helps reduce operating costs and improve reliability, since maintenance of the network requires no special networking skills that are usually associated with a dedicated lighting control network.

POWERLINK G3 systems accommodate a wide variety of control devices such as occupancy sensors, card access readers, low voltage switches, inputs from external building systems, and photo sensors.

Setup is easily accomplished, either from the keypad or from easy-to-use Windows-based software.

Control Strategies

All POWERLINK G3 systems offer a variety of control options to meet most lighting control strategies:

• Manual Control—Local occupant control or timed delay override is available by wiring low voltage switches to the POWERLINK G3 Controller. Low voltage, Class 2 control wiring lowers overall system cost by eliminating costly conduit wiring runs and expensive 3-way and 4-way line voltage wall switches. It also provides a power limited circuit in areas such as schools and correctional facilities where access to line voltage components presents a potential hazard.

• Occupancy Control—Wall mounted and ceiling mounted occupancy sensors can be connected directly to the POWERLINK G3 Controller inputs. They can also be wired in parallel with local low voltage switches to provide local occupant override. By using the auxiliary power feature of the controller, expensive slave packs can often be eliminated.

• Scheduling—Wiring a time clock or building control system to the POWERLINK G3 Controller inputs provides time-based control. The controller enhances the capabilities of these systems by providing features such as blink notice and timed occupant override capabilities. With the 1000 and 2000 level controllers, an integral time scheduler provides even greater scheduling capabilities.

• Photometric Control—Photocells and daylight sensors can be connected to the POWERLINK G3 Controller to switch zones in response to changing light levels. This provides unprecedented control for controlling lights in parking lots, garages, ball fields, and other outdoor sports complexes. Daytime lighting options for corridors in airport lobbies and atriums can also be easily accommodated.

• Digital Interface—The POWERLINK G3 Controller contains both RS-232 and RS-485 communications ports. These ports support an industry-standard open MODBUS protocol. Manufacturers of building automation systems who support the MODBUS standard can also provide communications interfaces that control individual remotely-operated circuit breakers, inputs, and other operating parameters.

SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE

All POWERLINK G3 systems feature powerful communications capabilities that will lower total cost while providing a reliable control and remote monitoring capability. Three levels of communications are provided that can be easily tailored to individual application requirements.

Subnet Communications

The 500, 1000, and 2000 level POWERLINK G3 Controllers include the ability to directly operate up to eight control buses. Such a capability allows a single controller to directly operate up to 168 POWERLINK G3 Remotely-Operated Circuit Breakers.

Control buses may be located either individually or as pairs in standard NF Lighting Panelboards. The controller signals the control buses to switch the associated branch circuits and polls each POWERLINK G3 Circuit Breaker to determine its actual status. Communications between the controller and the control buses are made with a 4-wire, Class 1 communications cable (Belden 27326 or equivalent). Slave panels (those containing control buses and remotely operated circuit breakers, but no controller) may be mounted up to 400 feet away from the master panel that contains the controller.

Automation Network

The 500, 1000, and 2000 level POWERLINK G3 Controllers also incorporate an automation level network that permits each controller to be accessed from a remote location. In many applications, this network is used to connect individual or multiple controllers to a personal computer, modem, or building management system.

Each controller provides both RS-485 and RS-232 serial ports for connection to the automation network. Up to 247 controllers can be located on a single network. Network wiring consists of low cost, 2-wire, Class 2 communications cable (Belden 9841 or equivalent).

The automation level network is also frequently used to communicate with other building systems such as energy management and card access systems. All POWERLINK G3 controllers incorporate MODBUS ASCII/RTU protocol with the automation network. This industrial-proven open protocol is widely accepted and supported by many building automation manufacturers and integrators.

Ethernet Connectivity

Two options are available with POWERLINK G3 systems to connect to existing Ethernet systems. The first option consists of a Square D Ethernet Gateway (EGX) that provides an interface between the automation level network and Ethernet. This web-enabled gateway provides high-speed access for up to 64 POWERLINK G3 panels or other MODBUS compatible devices.

The second option uses the integral on-board Ethernet capability of the POWERLINK G3 2000 Level Controller. In addition to providing high-speed, Ethernet access, this controller also provides fast peer-to-peer (P2P) connectivity between panels. With a 2000 level system, master panels can share inputs, schedules, and lighting zone logic states.

RS-232 and RS-485 Ports

Communications

The controller of the POWERLINK G3 system is equipped with the following communication ports:

• RS-232 serial port is typically used to directly configure the controller from a laptop computer. The serial interface can be used to connect slave panels to the subnet and to make connections to a personal computer of a control system with a similar communications port.

• RS-485 port enables automation network connections that link communications to all controllers. With the use of a repeater, up to 247 panels can be networked. Standard operating protocol is MODBUS ASCII/RTU. Baud rates are available up to 38.4 kB. The 1000 level controllers are also available with an optional N2 protocol version for connection to Johnson Controls Metasys® or Companion systems.

• Ethernet port (available in the 2000 level system) allows direct connection to an Ethernet LAN or WAN for global control. Direct Ethernet connection provides these benefits:

— cost savings by eliminating additional network communications devices.

— global connectivity that allows control from any PC with an IP address.

— global input to control any circuit breaker or group of circuit breakers on the system.

— data transfer rates up to 10 Mbps.

— global schedules to control any circuit breaker or group of circuit breakers on the system, regardless of panel location.

POWERLINK G3 CONTROLLERS

Hardware Description

POWERLINK G3 Controllers provide the interface and logic necessary for the operation of the entire control system. These devices monitor inputs, convey circuit breaker and system status, execute time schedules, handle serial communications, and allow system configuration from the front panel keypads or through serial connection. The controller mounts in the panel interior across from the power supply and occupies the top three adjacent pole spaces. Each controller can control up to eight control buses connected to its subnet. A remote mounting bracket is available for mounting the controller and power supply remotely, if sufficient space is not available in the panelboard. Controllers feature include:

• An LED (500 level) or LCD (1000 and 2000 level) display for local setup and diagnostics. LCD versions feature a back-lit display for viewing in dark locations.

• The front panel keypads provide access to the configuration and system status. These keys can be locked-out via software command or by a password.

• A front panel RS-232 serial connection is also furnished for connecting a laptop computer to the system to download software or upgrade firmware.

Controller operating programs and configurations are stored in non-volatile RAM, ensuring the program will be retained, even when the controller is removed from the panel. All POWERLINK G3 Controllers also feature the unique ability to receive firmware upgrades without having to replace programming chips. Firmware upgrades can be made locally or over the network.

External Control Inputs

POWERLINK G3 Controllers accept commands from both dry-contact inputs and serial communications. Typical control devices include low voltage pushbutton wall switches, occupancy sensors, photo sensors, card access, and building automation systems.

Terminals on the controller allow connection to external control devices. The 500 level controllers can accept up to eight separate control inputs, while the 1000 and 2000 level controllers can accommodate either eight 3-wire or sixteen 2-wire inputs. All controllers provide 24 Vdc control power for sensing contact status. Wiring runs between external control devices and the controller can be made by following NEC Class 2 wiring practices.

Controller inputs can be configured for status feedback to operate pilot lights or actuate other control equipment. Maximum current available to each status output is 7.5 mA at 24Vdc. Input types include:

• Maintained NO (normally open with or without blink)

• Maintained NC (normally closed with or without blink)

• Momentary Toggle

• Momentary On

• Dual Momentary

Time Scheduler

The 1000 and 2000 level controllers feature a flexible on-board time scheduler. The clock circuit incorporates the latest technology to compensate for clock drift. Capacitor backup ensures the correct controller time will be retained during power outages up to 30 days.

The following time scheduling events are provided:

• Sixteen independent time schedules, each with 24 ON/OFF daily periods.

• Day of week calendar (7 day repeating).

• Special date periods. Each period can be set for a single event, to repeat over a specified period, or to repeat perpetually. Capabilities include:

— Repeat every week by day

— Repeat every month by day or date

— Repeat every year by day or date

— Repeat every “n” days

• Sunrise/sunset tracking by geographic location (suitable for either northern or southern hemispheres), including configuration +/– offsets.

Logic for Control Sources

The 500 level system allows multiple POWERLINK G3 Circuit Breakers to be programmed or “mapped” to a particular input. One input can control up to 168 circuit breakers connected to the system’s subnet. Circuit breakers can be shared between inputs to create overlapping zone configurations. Whenever a circuit breaker is shared between multiple zones, its commanded remote state will follow the “OR’d” status of the inputs. Configurations of this type are extremely useful in egress areas where lighting is shared among different lighting zones.

The 1000 level system introduces on-board time schedules into the logic. Up to 16 zones can be configured and independently controlled by either a dedicated input or time schedule. By default, each zone has a dedicated input and time schedule configured for “OR” operation. This type of configuration is ideal for interior lighting zones where a timed override is needed during non-scheduled time periods. However, the configuration can be changed to an “AND” configuration for specific purposes such as disabling photo sensors during specific time periods.

The 2000 level controllers have the additional feature of variable sources. This allows support for up to four, user-selectable control sources per zone. Each source can be any schedule, any input, any zone, or any remote source. The remote source is configurable only if the 2000 level controllers are networked via Ethernet.



6/02

Auxiliary Power

Remote Sources

Remote sources is a unique feature available to the 2000 level controllers. The remote sources feature lets one controller share a control source from another controller. A common application of the remote source feature is the sharing of an input. Listed below are a few common examples of how an input can be shared among 2000 level controllers:

• Controllers sharing one input for a lighting zone served by multiple panels(for example, a factory department with a local override)

• Controllers sharing multiple inputs to control a zone from multiple locations (for example, gymnasium lights with a switch at each entrance)

• All controllers sharing one input to control all zones (for example, a contact closure from a security system or fire alarm)

• Controllers sharing one input to control selected zones (for example, a cleaning crew switch in which half the lights come on)

• Control and annunciator panel that can control and show remote status of selected zones from multiple controllers (for example, prisons)

Auxiliary Power

All POWERLINK G3 Controllers feature an auxiliary power post for powering external control devices. This auxiliary supply can furnish up to 100 mA at 24 Vdc.

Power Supply

POWERLINK G3 POWER SUPPLY

The POWERLINK G3 Power Supply provides the necessary power to operate the controller and control buses, and to operate the remotely operated circuit breakers. The power supply attaches to an NF Panelboard interior in the same manner as a standard 3-pole circuit breaker.

The power supply derives its power from the panelboard interior bus and converts the line-voltage into two separate supplies: one supply furnishes the controller with a 24 Vdc, Class 2 source; the other supply furnishes the control bus and sub-net with a 24 Vdc, Class 1 source.

An optional type of power supply, furnished with primary leads, is available for use with a separately derived primary power source. This option is often used in applications where the system must remain operational during power outages. In such applications, the external leads are connected to a uninterruptible power supply (UPS) or alternate power source.

In 20-in. wide panels, the power supply is always located in the upper left-hand corner of the interior with the controller mounted adjacent to it on the right-hand side.

Features

• Attaches to panelboard interior, occupies three adjacent pole spaces.

• External lead for connection to panel neutral.

• Modular connectors provide secure plug-in connections for connection to left-side control bus and controller.

• LED indication of Class 1 and Class 2 voltage sources operational status.

• Removable communication terminal block for making sub-net connections.

• Internally self-protected against short-circuits and electrical surges.

• Low continuous power draw, less than 20 VA.

REMOTELY OPERATED CIRCUIT BREAKERS

POWERLINK G3 remotely operated circuit breakers are designed for installation in Square D Type NF Lighting Panelboards as part of the POWERLINK G3 Lighting Control System. These circuit breakers provide the same overcurrent protection as found in standard circuit breakers.

The Best in Remote Operation

A robust 24 Vdc motor, along with a highly effective trip mechanism, provides a remote operation capability that is unequaled in terms of compact size, electrical ratings, and mechanical life. When the circuit breaker handle is in the ON position, the motor and drive train can open and close the contacts. When the handle is in the OFF position or the circuit breaker is tripped, the contacts cannot be closed remotely. The auto/manual switching mode selector on the front of the circuit breaker provides mechanical override capability. In manual mode, the motor drive train is disconnected from the contact, allowing the circuit breaker handle to operate the contacts like a conventional circuit breaker. A sensing circuit determines the presence or absence of voltage on the loadside terminal and reports the actual circuit breaker contact position back to the control system.

Tripping System with True rms Sensing

POWERLINK ECB-G3 Circuit Breakers have a permanent trip unit that contains a factory preset thermal (overload) trip element and a magnetic (short circuit) trip element in each pole. The thermal trip element is true rms sensing and is calibrated to carry the continuous current rating of the breaker at 40°C (140°F) free air ambient temperature. In accordance with the National Electrical Code, POWERLINK ECB-G3 circuit breakers are intended to be applied at up to 80 percent of their continuous current rating.

Operating Mechanism with VISI-TRIP® Indicator

POWERLINK ECB-G3 Circuit Breakers have an over-center toggle mechanism

that provides quick-make, quick-break operation and the unique VISI-TRIP® circuit breaker trip indicator. The operating mechanism is trip-free, which means the circuit breaker will trip even though the operating handle may be restricted to the ON position. Without any restrictions, the operating handle moves to a position between ON and OFF when the circuit breaker is tripped. An internal crossbar provides common tripping of all poles on 2- and 3-pole POWERLINK ECB-G3 Circuit Breakers.
