The LON Automation Interface Module provides a communi-cations link between the Greengate lighting control network of panels and a system that uses the LON Protocol. This allows a LON based system to have the ability of turning On or Off relays or groups of relays within a Greengate lighting control system as well as get status from relays or switches. The LON Automation Interface Module is custom configured for your job site’s needs as to what relays and groups it will control or monitor.

Before You Begin

The LON AIM uses an Echelon SLTA-10,TP/ FT-10 device to communicate with the LON system.The LON AIM ships without the motherboard installed in the enclosure unless the desired programming has been given to the factory prior to shipment.As each site is pre-configured, it will be necessary to provide technical support with the necessary programming informa-tion to ship the motherboard to the site. Please see the end of this document to obtain the paperwork that must be filled out for the configuration of this unit. The unit will be pre-configured for the connection informa-tion for your site based on the information provided to us. A system integrator mapping table will be provided.Each LON AIM unit has the capability of commanding and monitoring a total of 1200 points. Multiple LON AIM units may be connected into a networked system if more than 1200 points are necessary. Please note that your AIM unit has been preconfigured for your site’s number of panels and desired points to command and monitor. Please refer to the systems integrator mapping table for the information on how the LON network variables relate to the Greengate lighting control points.This document describes the installation process for the AIM unit. Questions should be referred to Cooper Controls Technical Support Department.

Getting Started

1. Do not discard these installation instructions. Please keep for future reference and operation information.

2. Use only as intended and at the listed voltage.3. All installation and service must be performed by quali-

fied personnel or service technicians.4. Install in accordance with the National Electrical Code

and any other codes which may apply.5. Installation and wiring information contained in this

document is based on industry-accepted standards and practices. If conflicts exist between these instructions and any applicable codes or ordinances, please contact Cooper Controls before proceeding with the installation.

Mounting the AIM Unit

1. Choose a dry location convenient to the Greengate Network that also has access to the LON network.

2. Mount the enclosure on a firm surface using the two top predrilled mounting holes. Drill additional holes as needed.

3. Low voltage network connections for the Greengate Network and the LON connection to the AIM enclosure should be done through conduit. Bring wiring in conduit through the left, top or upper right side. The lower right corner of the enclosure is reserved for the high-voltage power connection.

4. Remove all cuttings and dirt before providing power to the AIM unit.

Wiring the AIM to the Greengate Network

Wiring Notes1. All low-voltage wiring is Class 2 wiring.2. All low-voltage wiring must be run in separate conduit from

line-voltage wiring.3. Test all low-voltage wiring for shorts to AC ground before

connection to the AIM unit.4. If using Belden 9841 or 82841 for the Greengate Network

connection, leave all shields disconnected making certain that shield is not exposed.

5. All panels and devices on the RS-485 lighting network should be daisy chained. Do not create a Star or T-tapped configuration.

6. Total network length should not exceed 4000 feet.

Please refer to Table-1 for information on recommended wiring for the Greengate network.

Acceptable Network Wiring Suggested Cable

Standard RS-485 Belden 9841 (Shield is not used)

Plenum RS-485 Belden 82841 (Shield is not used)

Table-1 Network Wiring Recommendations

Connecting the Greengate Network to the AIM1. Disconnect power from the AIM. 2. Check the network wire for shorts and grounds prior to con-

nection to the AIM network blocks. 3. Connect the lighting network wire to the Greengate Net-

work + and - terminal block in the lower left corner of the AIM enclosure. These terminals are identified with labels Greengate Network + and Greengate Network -. Make certain to observe polarity. Connect the other end(s) of the network wire to the closest Lighting Controller(s).

4. The AIM has been sent to you pre-configured to be at the end of the Greengate Network. A 100 Ohm termination resistor has been pre-placed on the network wiring terminal block to terminate the network. If the unit is in the middle of the network, this termination resistor must be removed.

Wiring the AIM to the LON Network

The AIM unit comes preconfigured with an Echelon SLTA-10 TP/FT-10 device for interface with the LON system.

Wiring Notes1. All low-voltage wiring is Class 2 wiring.2. All low-voltage wiring must be run in separate conduit from

line-voltage wiring.3. Test all low-voltage wiring for shorts to AC ground before

connection to the AIM unit.4. Follow the manufacturer ‘s recommendations for wire type

and distance limitations for your LON system.

Connecting the LON Network to the AIM1. Disconnect power from the AIM. 2. Check all wiring for shorts and grounds prior to connection

to the AIM unit.3. Connect the LON connection to the SLTA-10 device NET-

WORK terminal block according to LON wiring standards.

Please ensure the bit-switches on the SLTA-10 device are set as follows: 1, 6 & 8 are in the up position.

Powering the AIM Unit

1. Connect the neutral wire to the wire with the appropriate col-or coding for the voltage being used: White/Black=120VAC.

2. Connect the solid balck wire to the dedicated branch circuit that is powering the transformer.

LED indicator lights

The AIM motherboard and the Greengate Interface board both have LED lights that can help with diagnostics. These are explained below.

AIM Unit LEDsThe AIM unit has LEDs for diagnostics in several locations on the board. This includes the LEDs on the front casing of the AIM unit as well as some LEDs next to various ports on the board and an LED display that may indicate error codes. Please refer to the following drawing that indicates the location of the LEDs and their functions.1. AIM Port S2 (Greengate Lighting Connection) Transmit and

Receive LEDs.

2. AIM LED stack - the following LEDs are diagnostic indica-tors: Archive Valid - should be lit after a minute or two of the AIM being powered up. If this LED does not light up a few minutes after power up, please contact technical support. Port S1 TX and Port S1 RX - AIM port transmit and receive indicators for the serial port connection to the SLTA-10. The top two LEDs will not be used.

3. Module Status Indicator: This LED display in normal run condition will show a chase light that tracks around the outside of the display with a flashing red dot LED in the bottom right corner. If a number displays in this window, please contact Technical Support for further assistance.

4. Power indication LED.

Greengate Network Interface Board LEDsThe Greengate Network Interface Module LEDs are located underneath the AIM unit and may be viewed from the left side of the module. The LEDs indicate the following:

1. DTR 232: Indicates the module is ready.2. CTS 232: Indicates the AIM has initialized the

communication ports. 3. DCD 232: Indicates, along with CTS 232, that the

AIM has initialized the communication ports.4. RTS 232: Indicates, along with DTR 232, that the

module is ready to send data. 5. RX 232: Illuminates when the module is ready to

transmit data to the AIM.6. TX 232: Illuminates when the module is ready to

receive data from the AIM.7. RX 485: Illuminates when the module sends data

on to the network.8. TX 485: Illuminates when the module receives

data over the network.9. DCD 485: Data Carrier Detect for the network.10. RTS 485: Request to Send for Greengate Network.11. STATUS: Unit functional status. Illuminates only if there is a hardware failure or software lockup.12. POWER: Remains illuminated while power is supplied to the module.
