1.1.1 BUILDING CONTROLLERS

1.1.1.1 BACNET CONTROLLERS: GENERAL PURPOSE

A. Advanced Application Controllers (AAC) shall be a solid state micro-controller with

configurable control module with pre-tested and factory configured software specifically
designed for regulating building equipment using closed-loop Direct Digital Control and
facility management routines. Controllers shall be capable operating in a stand-alone or
networked manner, and shall be located where shown on the plans. The controller shall be
powered from standard, off-the-shelf, Class II, 24-volt transformers. The controller shall be
easily mounted in a standard NEMA 1 type enclosure without special rails or mounting
hardware and as local and national code dictates. The controller shall be capable of
operating in either a stand-alone mode or as part of a network with an EMS operator's
station and other system elements including Product Integrated Controllers (PIC's)

B. BACnet. Advanced Application Controllers (AACs). AAC shall conform to BACnet Advanced
Application Controller (B-AAC) device profile as specified in ANSI/ASHRAE 135, BACnet
Annex L and shall be listed as a certified B-AAC in the BACnet Testing Laboratories (BTL)
Product Listing. AAC shall reside on a BACnet network using the MS/TP Data Link/Physical
layer protocol.

C. Custom Programming
The controller shall contain a graphical controller based programming language for creating
complex control strategies for specific unique applications. Custom programs shall be
retained in controller memory and shall not require a host CPU to operate. All custom
programming point data shall be transferable from one controller to another (if networked)
directly without an on-line CPU or host computer.

D. Communication.
1. Service Port. Each controller shall provide a service communication port for
connection to a Portable Operator's Terminal. Connection shall be extended to space
temperature sensor ports where shown on drawings.
2. Data Sharing. Each AAC shall share data as required with each networked.

E. Environment. Controller hardware shall be suitable for anticipated ambient conditions.

1. Controllers used outdoors or in wet ambient conditions shall be mounted in waterproof
enclosures and shall be rated for operation at -29°C to 60°C (-20°F to 140°F).
2. Controllers used in conditioned space shall be mounted in dust-protective enclosures
and shall be rated for operation at 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 120°F).

F. Memory.
1. The Controller shall have a Non-Volatile Memory providing indefinite storage of
application and configuration data.
2. Controller memory shall support operating system, database, and programming
requirements.

G. Controller Time.
Controller shall feature and maintain a 365-day Real-Time Clock/Calendar with holiday
functions.

H. Stand alone capability. The controller shall be capable of providing all control functions of the
HVAC system without the use of a computer.

1. It shall establish occupancy scheduling based on its own local occupancy schedule,
the closure of a contact connected to an external time clock or EMS system, or by a
timed override request (1 to 24 hours) through its space temperature sensor override
button.

I. Networked capability. The controller shall include the inherent capability to access the
system control selections as well as to monitor system performance by means of a
communicating network with a PC and EMS software program.
1. When networked, occupancy may be established by user interface or occupancy
signal from other controller located in network.

J. Scheduling. AAC shall provide the following schedule options as a minimum:

1. Weekly. Provide separate schedules for each day of the week. Each schedule shall
be able to include up to 5 occupied periods (5 start-stop pairs or 10 events).
2. Exception. Operator shall be able to designate an exception schedule for each of the
next 365 days. After an exception schedule has executed, system shall discard and
replace exception schedule with standard schedule for that day of the week.
3. Holiday. Operator shall be able to define 24 special or holiday schedules of varying
length on a scheduling calendar that repeats each year.

K. Serviceability.
1. Controller shall have diagnostic LEDs for power, communication, and processor.
2. Wires shall be connected to a field-removable modular terminal strip or to a
termination card connected by a ribbon cable.

L. Immunity to Power and Noise. AAC shall be able to operate at 90% to 110% of nominal
voltage rating and shall perform an orderly shutdown below 80% nominal voltage. Operation
shall be protected against electrical noise of 5 to 120 Hz and from keyed radios up to 5 W at
1 m (3 ft).

M. Input and output devices shall be wired to "quick-connect plug type" terminals to facilitate
removal of the module without disconnecting wiring from the plug type terminal.

N. Alarm Processing. The controller shall contain a routine to process alarms. Alarm processing
logic shall also monitor return to normal conditions as part of the alarm scan. The operator
will have the ability to modify the alarm/alert priority level.

O. PID Control. System shall provide direct- and reverse-acting PID (proportional-integral-
derivative) algorithms. Each algorithm shall have anti-windup and selectable controlled
variable, setpoint, and PID gains. Each algorithm shall calculate a time-varying analog value
that can be used to position an output or to stage a series of outputs.

P. Anti-Short Cycling. Binary output objects shall be protected from short cycling by means of
preconfigured minimum on-time and off-time settings, customized for the specific
requirements of the application.

Q. On and Off Control with Differential. System shall provide direct- and reverse-acting on and
off algorithms with adjustable differential to cycle a binary output based on a controlled
variable and setpoint.

R. Inputs. Shall support the following input types as a minimum

1. Dry or pulsed dry contacts
2. 0-5 VDC
3. 0-10 VDC
4. 4-20 mA
5. 10K thermistors
6. 1000-ohm Nickel RTD
