Other advantages of a BMS include sharing and rotating the work load for a balanced usage of equipment Galvez Avenue - Fort Worth, Texas Tel Page 5

6 Theory of operation The OnTrac Boiler Management System is designed to perform all of the function of a typical BMS (Boiler Management System). OnTrac however is designed to work in concert with the individual boiler controls to maintain optimum load matching and balanced boiler runtime. OnTrac will communicate with the boiler controls over a RS-485 Serial Bus using the Modbus RTU protocol. Communicating with the existing boiler controls accomplishes complete coordination without diminishing the unique operational features of the boiler. Much of the information contained in this document is also present on the Help Screens accessible on the OnTrac. The OnTrac is offered with 2 screen sizes. OnTrac CS-8 has a 8 touch screen, and the OnTrac CS-4 has a 4 touch screen. All the basic features are available on both, but the CS-8 has some additional options for remote monitoring and data acquisition. Two Tier System OnTrac also has the capability of operating a 2 Tier hydronic boiler system. This front-end loaded system uses high efficiency condensing boilers to serve as the primary heat source for the majority of the heating season but uses less expensive non-condensing boilers or pre-existing boilers for additional heat when the system load is exceptionally high. Single Tier System In a system that has boilers that are all alike, such as a system with all condensing boilers, the system can operate as a single Tier. An advanced feature for operating two loops at one setpoint is available. Startup Screen When the system is powered up, the first screen is called the STARTUP SCREEN or LOCK SCREEN. This screen displays the SYSTEM TEMPERATRUE, ADJUSTED SETPOINT, and the amount of time sense the OnTrac was last powered on. If enabled, STATUP SCREEN can also display the OUTDOOR TEMPERATRUE, and SYSTEM 2 TEMPERATURE. If passwords have been enabled, and there is a PW0 setup, then this screen will require you enter a password before exiting to the MAIN SCREEN. Navigation and On Screen Help Navigate by selecting buttons. Top left button will generally take you back to the screen you were on before. Other buttons my take you to a help screen for the feature you are looking at, or navigate to a related screen. OnTrac CS-8 and OnTrac CS-4 Both version of the OnTrac are similar, and have almost all the same capabilities. The major difference is the screen sizes and the ability to support the RMC card. CS-8 The OnTrac CS-8 has an 8 display, and can support the Remote Monitoring and Control feature (RMC) and the Data Acquisition feature. When the RMC feature is used, the OnTrac will require a separate Ethernet connection for this feature Galvez Avenue - Fort Worth, Texas Tel Page 6

7 CS-4 OnTrac CS-4 is a significant cost savings from the CS-8, and still offers all the basic features, including up to 28 boilers. Size of screen is smaller, and no RMC or Data Acquisition capabilities. Parts Description Included: OnTrac display enclosure OnTrac Power supply with screw on plug nut Probe 5 cable; System Sensor Thermal Well for System Sensor Probe 5 cable; Outdoor Sensor Documentation Parts Location: It is important to keep up with the parts, as many times the OnTrac may be shipped with the boilers, but the integration of the OnTrac may take place months after the install of the boilers is complete. This is an opportunity for the sensor, thermal well, or the OnTrac to become lost at a construction site Galvez Avenue - Fort Worth, Texas Tel Page 7

8 OnTrac Display Enclosure Power Switch The power switch does not light up. Up position is the ON position, it may take a minute before the screen initializes. Fuse MDA 1 Amp TIME DELAY 6X32mm PN Galvez Avenue - Fort Worth, Texas Tel Page 8

9 Power Jack and Power Supply Power Supply is made up of PN wall supply, and the plug PN Polarity typically striped wire is (+), but should be verified. Center of plug is (+) Plug PN provides a screw fastening to the OnTrac box to prevent disconnects. Original plug is removed from power supply and this one is attached via soldering to the end of the power supply cable. Polarity is inside (+), outside (-) 3220 Galvez Avenue - Fort Worth, Texas Tel Page 9

10 Probes PN Probe with 5 of cable. 2 are included with OnTrac, one is for use as the system sensor using the thermal well, and the other is for the outdoor sensing. It is best to mount the outdoor sensor with a plastic wire tie to prevent any metal from affecting the air temperature reading. The wires can be extended to reach the desired locations. Thermal Well PN Brass Thermal Well 1/2-14 NPT, 7/8 hex head, for system sensor. This is to be installed in the system sensing location. This location will typically be in the building HWS or HWR headers. Decision on location is made by review of system piping, flow, and sequence of the hydronic loop. Field Terminal Strip Field connection terminal are located under the field access cover. Ethernet Connection CS-4 & CS-8 PLC CS-4 and CS-8 are equipped with an Ethernet connection for MODBUS TCP. Location is at the Field Access Terminal area. This connection is a coupler connected to the end of a short cable coming from inside the OnTrac box and it 3220 Galvez Avenue - Fort Worth, Texas Tel Page 10

11 originates at the OnTrac PLC. Through this port, all data and parameters can be read. This port will also interface with gateways to convert the MODBUS TCP to other protocols as required. It can also be connected to an Ethernet switch or hub to connect to a building automation system network. If connecting to an Ethernet network, it is important to set the IP Address of the OnTrac. To change the IP Address on the PLC of the OnTrac will require a software utility and a special programming cable PN Please contact factory if this needs to be changed in the field. If IP address information is supplied before the OnTrac ships from the factory, it can be pre-configured. Ethernet Connection for CS-8 with RMC OPTION CS-8 can have the RMC option card, in this situation you will have a 2 nd Ethernet connection, originating at the touch panel RMC card. This Ethernet connection is used for remote access to the OnTrac via the supplied RMC software, and if the Data Acquisition option has been included, then it can also be used to access the data stored on the SD card of the touch panel. The settings for this Ethernet port can be configured using the touch panel. PLC Programmable Logic Controller Inside the OnTrac is a PLC that performs the control functions of the OnTrac. This device stores the program logic and parameters and is subject to a Lithium battery to maintain this information. All control and communication with the Boilers and any Building Automation System or Gateway is from this PLC. The PLC is capable of functioning even when the touch panel is not connected or working. PLC RS-485 PORT The PLC has a RS-485 port that communicates to the boilers through a RS-485 isolation repeater. PLC PANEL Interface The PLC has a 9 pin D-SUB connection that connects with the touch panel. This allows the touch panel to read and change any parameters in the PLC. PLC BATTERY Indicator Next to the battery on the PLC is a LED that indicates low battery. If illuminated, then the battery is showing to be not working on the PLC. If the OnTrac is still functioning, it is possible to change this battery with the power ON, and retain the program and settings. THE POWER MUST BE ON WHEN CHANGING THE BATTERY! See section on changing the batteries. RS-485 Repeater Module Located inside the OnTrac, this is a module that takes the RS-485 signal and provides electrical isolation between the PLC and the boilers. If only one LED is flashing, this indicates the master is talking and nothing is responding. If 2 LEDs are blinking, then the master is talking and the salve devices are responding. Note the master is the PLC, and the slave devices are the boilers. This device also provides line biasing to help improve communication between the OnTrac and the boiler s TempTrac Touch Screen Panel The touch screen serves as the human interface. This allows the operator to setup, view, and change parameters of the system. It also provides a place to view the status of operation. The touchscreen does not perform any controlling functions directly. This is done by the PLC. The touch panel gives graphical representation to parameters, and values, as well as displays descriptive text to make the PLC functioning and values understandable. Programming Port This is a 9-pin D-SUB serial port used to update firmware, and update the touch panel and PLC program. This port can also be used for the RMC feature, but it will operate at a much slower speed. Ethernet Port for RMC feature OnTrac CS-8 had the capability for a RMC card to be installed. If this option is present, then the OnTrac will have an Ethernet port. This port can be connected to a network or to a computer for Remote Monitoring and control Galvez Avenue - Fort Worth, Texas Tel Page 11

12 The software for this feature ships with the OnTrac and must be installed on a PC with Ethernet connection to the OnTrac. You may need to configure the RMC features of the OnTrac, and setup the IP address. This can be done through the touch panel interface under the CONFIG> RMC SETUP options. OnTrac Optional Equipment: Analog Input Module for 4-20mA Remote Setpoint Option (REMSET) This option includes the addition of an Analog Input module to the OnTrac PLC. This allows a BAS to supply a 4-20mA signal for Setpoint. The range of this signal can be configured in the Options screen. It is important that this option is not confused with a BAS that is changing the setpoint using communication. Remote Equipment Option (REMEQ) 2 Relays installed in OnTrac to allow for equipment to be enabled when a call for heat is needed. This can also be used as a building pump enable. This should not be used for any safety related devices, such as venting. All safety related devices should be directly interfaced with the boilers. Panel Mounted Audible Alarm (AUDALARM) Alarm mounted in panel, can be silenced in the CONFIG menu. Remote Alarm Contacts (REMALARM) A relays provides dry contacts for alarm Remote Access and Control (RMC) CS-8 Option Only This is an additional card in the touch panel and software for a PC to allow Ethernet connection from a PC to the touch panel. The RMC card has an Ethernet port for this purpose. Data Acquisition (DAQ) Expands RMC Option This feature offers data storage and the ability to collect that data over an Ethernet connection. For more details regarding this feature, please refer to the program literature. This option required the RMC option to be present. It adds a 2 GIG SD card to the RMC card, and uses a program for PC access to the SD card data over Ethernet. Getting Started: It is important to know what components and options you have with your system. You should have an OnTrac startup form that will provide what options are installed on the unit, as well as a place for you to record the parameters once the startup is completed. The OnTrac startup should be completed after the boilers have had their startup procedure completed. It is advised that the person setting up or making adjustments to the OnTrac have knowledge of the entire hydronic loop. We have a Boiler Application Survey form that can be used as a tool for gathering this information. Wiring and Hookup Boiler OnTrac Communication Hookup The RS485 serial line applied to the OnTrac is a Two Wire electrical interface in accordance with the EIA/TIA- 485 standard. A third conductor is to provide shielding and a common ground for the system. A balanced twisted pair with shield is recommended. AWG26 or larger can run up to 1000m. It is recommended that the RS485 serial line be run separately from any other electrical wiring in order to minimize electric interference. On a RS485 2 wire-bus, at any time only one driver has the right for transmitting Galvez Avenue - Fort Worth, Texas Tel Page 12

13 Connect the positive wire to the + terminal on the field connection terminal strip. Connect the negative wire to the terminal on the field connection terminal strip. Connect the common ground and shield to the G terminal on the field connection terminal strip. Connect earth ground to ground lug. Remote Equipment Option Hookup (REMEQ or PUMP) The Remote Equipment feature is provided for the activation of equipment such as circulation pumps. Air louvers and active ventilation systems should not be interfaced directly with the OnTrac ; they should be interfaced directly with the boilers. When there is a call for heat the OnTrac will energize the remote equipment contacts and wait for a set time for any Remote Proving circuits to be energized. There are two relay outputs provided. There are two Remote Equipment outputs available. Both relays are rated for 110VAC with a maximum switching current of 10A. Normally Open contact is available with terminals P1 and P2 Normally Closed contact is available with terminals P3 and P4 When used as a circulation pump for a building loop, the option for invert the logic so that N.C. contact can be used to drive the pump is available. This allows pump operation is the OnTrac loses power Galvez Avenue - Fort Worth, Texas Tel Page 13

14 Remote Alarm Option Hookup (REMALARM) The Remote Alarm contacts are provided as a remote indication of a system alarm. This indication is not specific in nature but intended to alert the user of a problem. Details of the alarm condition can be found by viewing the Boiler Status screen on the OnTrac or at the individual boiler. The relay contacts for this feature are rated for 110VAC with a maximum switching current of 15A. Connect the alarm load to A1 and A2. System Sensor and Outdoor Sensor Location and Hookup The system and outdoor sensors for the OnTrac are connected typically through Boiler 1 for the system sensor and Boiler 2 for the outdoor sensor. This is the default assignment but the location can be changed in the event of a faulty control. Follow the instruction below for wiring termination. The wire leads for the system and outdoor sensor should be connected to the TempTrac control located on the control panel of the boiler. For the system sensor, use sensor (P/N ) and brass thermal well (P/N ) 1/2-14 NPT. A thermal well is not necessary for the outdoor sensor. 1. Turn off power to the boiler. 2. Remove and screw to access the back side of the TempTrac 3. Run the wires from the probe to the TempTrac. Terminal 17 is the common for all the probes. Probe 1 connects to Terminal 14, Probe 2 connects to terminal 15, Probe 3 connects to Terminal 16. The other wire of all probes goes to terminal 17 of the TempTrac 4. The probes do not have a polarity, and the wires can be extended. 5. Run the probe and wires as required for local code and standards. The wiring type is; low voltage sensor wire Galvez Avenue - Fort Worth, Texas Tel Page 14

15 TempTrac Control Module (Satellite Module) We offer a Satellite control module that can be used for sensor inputs as well as control of other equipment. The uses of this device if open, as it is a bridge to interface with other equipment of perform functions not normally associated with our equipment. Control Module For Non-Riverside Tier 2 Boilers When non-riverside Hydronics boilers are controlled by the OnTrac boiler management system, the optional TempTrac Boiler Control module can be applied as a fully functional operating control or used to enable and disable only. This module will be treated as a boiler in the wiring of TempTrac models. If the module is applied as an enable/disable (ON/OFF ONLY), the R1 & R2 terminals will interrupt the operating circuit of the boiler or equipment. The modulation, staging and primary temperature regulation function will be controlled by the existing boiler controls. Warning: Do not disable the existing boiler controls or bypass the existing temperature limits. When the (ON/OFF ONLY) function is used the TempTrac temperature sensor can be used for displaying the boiler temperature only or left to display the room temperature. The sensor is coiled and placed inside the enclosure. Do not disconnect sensor. Control Module For Sensor Inputs The TempTrac Control Module can be used as an auxiliary sensor reading device. Some boilers are able to use Probe 3 for this purpose and this module is not needed. Some boilers (such as the M3) do not have Probe 3 available for this purpose and will require this module for system sensor and/or outdoor temperature reading. It can also be used as an option to allow the system sensor to not be dependent on one boiler being operational. Probe 1 & Probe 3 inputs should be used for Outdoor and System sensors Galvez Avenue - Fort Worth, Texas Tel Page 15

16 Control Module Full Control If the TempTrac Control Module is applied in the (FULL CONTROL), R1 & R2 terminals will interrupt the operation of the boiler and T1 and T2 terminals will provide a 4 to 20mA signal to modulate the firing rate of the burner. If applied, terminals A1 & A2 can be wired to an alarm input from the boiler. The TempTrac control will communicate boiler water temperature to the OnTrac Multiple Boiler Control. Alarm condition can also be communicated back to the OnTrac if the alarm input is wired to A1 & A2 Control Module Wiring Wiring Enable/Disable The first step will be routing the operating circuit through the R1 & R2 terminals (15Amp Max). This will also require that the existing operating control set-point be raised so as not to interrupt the normal operation of the boiler. If this is not possible, the existing operating control must be removed. Warning: Do not bypass the existing boiler limits Galvez Avenue - Fort Worth, Texas Tel Page 16

17 Wiring Modulation signal 4-20mA Next, the existing modulation control must be disconnected and replaced with the modulation signal from the TempTrac Control Module (T1 & T2). Temperature Sensor location The temperature sensor must be installed in a location that allows the control module to monitor the boiler water temperature. If the sensor is not installed in a thermal well, care should be taken to find a clean surface location near the boiler outlet and insulate the junction well. The sensor probe dimensions are: ¼ dia x 1 ¾ long. The wire length is 5ft but can be increased to up to 100ft. Alarm input from existing equipment The alarm terminals (A1 & A2) require a 120Vac input to indicate an alarm condition to the OnTrac. Assigning Boiler Addresses The first step commissioning an OnTrac system will be the assignment of the address number for each boiler. The following instructions are specific to the TempTrac. If your boiler uses a different control refer to the programming instruction for that control to set the control address. 1. Enter the Programming mode by pressing the set and DOWN key for more than 3 seconds. (lead with the SET key) 2. Pressing the DOWN key, parameters will display in top, and value in bottom. 3. Select Pr2 PAS (parameter value), and press the set key. 4. The value with a flashing zero is displayed 5. Use UP or DOWN keys to input the security code in the flashing digit; confirm the figure by pressing set. The security code is Once you have entered the Pr2 menu press the DOWN key until you see the parameter Adr appear on the top of the screen 7. Now press the set key once and the number will begin to blink. Use the arrow key to set the address from (1 to 28). The address range (1 to 20) is reserved for Tier 1 boilers only. The address range (21 to 28) is reserved for Tier 2 boilers 8. Each boiler must be assigned a different address in order for proper communication to occur 3220 Galvez Avenue - Fort Worth, Texas Tel Page 17

Isolation Valves CS-4: CFG 2: ISOLATION VALVES CS-8: CONFIG MENU 2: ISOLATION VALVES User Level: LEVEL 2-3 Prompts for password Purpose: Isolation valve control for primary only piping Display Parameters: Edit Parameters: WATER VALVE CONTROL ON/OFF Details: This feature is for hydronic primary only loops that have boilers in parallel with isolation valves. Isolation valves will use LOCAL 1 & 2 on the COMPENENT TERMINAL STRIP of the boiler (TempTrac output #3, terminals 8 & 9) for activation of the isolation valves. See wiring diagram for details. (WATER VALVE CONTROL) When this function is turned on the OnTrac will control the operation of a water isolation valve for each boiler. The control terminals are located on the boiler. OnTrac will keep at minimum 1 boiler in operation to allow continued building loop flow. OnTrac will send a signal to each active boiler. Each boiler will provide a contact to energize the isolation valve. The OnTrac will keep at minimum 1 boiler in operation to allow continued building loop flow. WARNING: Only use this option when each boiler has isolation valves, and the boilers are piped in primary only. When this option is enabled, the isolation valves are subject to the OnTrac being operational. SPECIAL CONSIDERATION: To ensure standalone boiler operation, it is advisable to install a bypass switch in parallel of the isolation valve contact and have the REMEQ relay option on the boiler. The REMEQ provides a signal on P1 & P2 that can be used to enable a valve or pump, hook P1 & P2 in parallel of the isolation valve enable contact. With OnTrac failure, or shutdown, one boiler can have isolation valve always open using the Bypass switch, and the other boilers can enable and disable their isolation valves using the REMEQ relay Galvez Avenue - Fort Worth, Texas Tel Page 32
