SBus Wall Module

SBus wall module The Spyder tool supports configuring the SBus (Sensor-Bus) wall module (2-wire wall module) in addition to the conventional wall module for the LonSpyder II and Spyder Micro models. You can have a maximum of 1 SBus wall module in a control program for TR70 model and a maximum of 4 SBus wall modules for TR71/TR75 models.

 Note: If you add more than four SBus wall module to an application, a message appears stating that you have more than 4 SBusWallModule function block in the Control Program. Since only 4 SBusWallModule function block can be downloaded to the controller, you will have to delete the extra SBusWallModule function block(s) from the control program before downloading.

However, if you fail to delete the additional wall module and click the Validate button on the toolbar, an error message appears stating that the number of blocks of SBusWallModule has exceeded the allowed limit.

Click OK to close the message window and delete the additional wall module before downloading the application logic.

You can configure different parameters of the SBus wall modules in two ways.

  1. You can invoke the configuration wizard of the SBus wall module function block and use the wizard screens to configure the wall module. Use the Preview screen to preview the configuration you have made. You must download the configuration changes made to the controller to view the configuration changes on the Wall module.
  2. You can configure locally using the display screen of the wall module mounted on the wall. This can be done only in the Contractor mode.

 After completing the configuration, link the slots on the SBus wall module function block as required. The input and output slots of the Wall module can be connected to other function blocks, Physical/software points, and NVs/Bacnet objects, to develop the application logic.

Note: Only NC, NV, or Bacnet Objects can be connected to the type Network setpoint parameters.

You can then download the configuration to the controller. This configuration is then automatically downloaded to the SBus wall module by the Spyder controller.

Note: On the wiresheet, the SBus wall module displays the parameters on the container as follows: input, OUTPUT, Input. Ex- input : categ1.param1(all small case), OUTPUT : categ1.PARAM1(all in capital),Input : categ1.Param1(first letter in capital followed by all the other in small case). Category names appear as given by the user.

The default SBusWallModule would have only ROOMTEMP (for the Temperature from WallModule) sensor and occupancy_status (to show the occupancy status).

If you have made changes to the configuration locally on the wall module, the same gets uploaded to the controller. Note that the wall module configuration is not uploaded directly to the Spyder tool. So, you need to upload the Spyder controller configuration to the tool in order to upload the wall module configuration using either Learn Logic or Sync from the field device to wire sheet.

If you change one of the following and perform a quick download, only the changed configuration is downloaded to the controller.

For all other changes, the whole configuration is downloaded (full download) to the controller.

You can save these applications to the Spyder library for later use. Applications that are stored can be imported from the library and used to rapidly build application logic.

You can also delete an already configured SBus wall module function block if necessary.

Initial Setup and Configuration

Once the wall module is wired to the controller, you configure the wall module using the Spyder tool.

Confirm Bus Address Setting

Ensure that the bus address dial (located on the back of the module) of the Wall Module is set to any address that matches with the default setting of the configuration tool.

Note: Only one TR70 wall module must be placed under one Spyder controller and the address of TR70 wall module must be 1. If more than one TR70 wall module is placed under one Spyder controller, Validate/ Compile/ Download process will fail. A maximum 4 modules can be placed with a combination of TR70, TR71 and TR75 wall modules.

Configuring SBus wall module

To configure the SBus wall module using the configuration wizard:

  1. Expand the BuiltIn folder in the HoneywellSpyder palette.
  2. Drag and drop the S-Bus wall module on to the wiresheet or on to the ControlProgram in the Nav palette.
    The Name dialog box is displayed.
  3. Type name of the module and click OK.
    The S-Bus wall module block appears on the wiresheet.
    This block shows only the slots relevant to the configuration that you have made. By default, slots configured in standard applications will be shown as part of the wall module block.
  4. Right-click the S-Bus wall module block and select Configure Properties. The Wall Module Configuration Wizard appears.

You can configure the following settings displayed on the left pane of the wizard:

Note: When you drag and drop the S-Bus wall module on the wiresheet, right click it, and select Configure Properties, the General Settings properties are displayed in the Wizard window.

Note: The Schedule/Time and Password setting depends on the Wall module model selection in General Settings.
If you select the TR70 wall module model, the password protection option in Password setting is disabled and you can only view/edit the controller time in the Schedule/Time setting.
If you select the TR71 wall module model, the password protection option in Password setting is enabled and you can only view/edit the controller time in the Schedule/Time setting.
If you select the TR75 wall module model, the password protection option in Password setting is enabled and you can view/edit the controller time and the schedule in the Schedule/Time setting.

Note:You can customize the Top Alpha Numeric Alert Labels, Middle Alpha Numeric Alert Labels and Schedule Labels. 

For renaming the Top AlphaNumeric Alert Labels: Use Lexicon Editor
The label value should not be more than eight characters. It will also not support the special characters except slash and hyphen.
If you enter any special character, then it will be considered as "blank space" on Zio wall module screen.

For renaming the Schedule Labels: Use Lexicon Editor
The label value should not be more than eight (8) characters in general where the Schedule Event label values are special cases and that should not be more than seven (7) characters. Tool will suffix numbers to event label value to indicate different events.
Eg: Configuring Monday Event (Lexicon key is 'MonE'): if user configures the value as "MonEven"(7 chars max supported) then it will generate labels as "MonEven1".. "MonEven4".
If you enter any special character, then it will be considered as "blank space" on Zio wall module screen.

How to use Lexicon Editor
Navigate to Lexicon Editor from Workbench (Tools > Lexicon Editor)

      For Soft JACE:

  1. Change the respective lexicon values in en lexicon only for honeywellSpyderTool in Lexicon Editor as per the above recommendations.
  2.  Default value will be used if user fails to follow any recommendations. Eg:- Default value will be used if user enters more than 8 characters for Top Alphanumeric labels.
  3.  Save the lexicon file after modification.
  4. Restart workbench and station.
  5. If device already in download state, then modify some configuration to ensure tool will again compile the configurations on wiresheet and download it.
  6. Then user can see the alert changes in Zio. This is for local host (Soft JACE).

      For Hard JACE:

  1. Use "Lexicon installer" and transfer the en lexicon to JACE.
  2. Follow Soft JACE steps 4 to 6.
