Chapter 1—Introduction Compatibility with the TALON Automation System Address Assignment IP addresses are dynamically assigned by the DHCP server. If an address changes or is not recognized, the field panel firmware lets you release the dynamically assigned IP address and then reconnect the field panel to the DHCP server, accepting a new IP address assignment in the process. If there is no DHCP server at the site, you must manually assign static IP addresses as part of the startup system configuration.
Chapter 1—Introduction Principles of Field Panel Operation Principles of Field Panel Operation The TC Compact Series gathers information about the environment of your facility, as well as the equipment it monitors and controls. The TC Compact receives updated information, stores information, executes control programs, handles operator commands and requests, and makes control management decisions.
Chapter 1—Introduction Principles of Field Panel Operation ● ● Continuously executes the control program. Samples a current or voltage signal representing the room temperature and updates the value associated with that temperature in its memory. – If the temperature rises to 85°F (29°C), then the TC Compact sends an alarm message to the printer. ● Checks the current time once per second. – Between 5:00 P.M. and 7:00 A.M., the fan remains OFF. – Between 7:00 A.M. and 5:00 P.M.
Chapter 1—Introduction TALON Automation Networking How does License Manager Work? Field panels can either be ordered with licensed features and functionality pre-loaded, for example, FLN support, or upgraded to add special features, for example, TX-I/O island bus support. NOTE: The installation of some features and licenses require that the field panel be coldstarted, while others do not. Any or all of the licensed features can be activated at any time using licenses acquired from Siemens.
Chapter 1—Introduction TALON Automation Networking How Information Moves Through the Network When an operator issues a command over the ALN network through a field panel, that field panel validates the command, determines where to send it, and then passes the command to the destination over the network.
Chapter 1—Introduction TALON Automation Networking BACnet/IP Automation Level Network BACnet field panels communicate over a customer's Ethernet cabling and IP network using the ASHRAE Building Automation and Control Networking (BACnet) protocol. ● One TALON View workstation can administer up to 64 Ethernet-based BACnet/IP ALNs. ● Up to 100 BACnet/IP field panels can reside on a BACnet/IP network (1000 maximum per TALON View workstation). Figure 2: BACnet/IP ALN Network Example.
Chapter 1—Introduction TALON Automation Networking Figure 3: BACnet MS/TP ALN with MS/TP FLN Network Example. Field Level Network The TALON Field Level Network (FLN) is a data communications network that passes information between an FLN device or devices and an Automation Level Network (ALN) device, usually within one building. FLNs consist of devices that communicate using MS/TP. Siemens Industry, Inc.

Chapter 4—Troubleshooting Service Information Electrostatic Discharge An electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap is generally not required when installing or servicing a TC Compact. However, if the field panel is installed in a very dry environment where a high static discharge is likely, an ESD wrist strap is recommended. Error Status Messages For error status message descriptions, see the TALON Firmware User's Manual (588580) (588-580).
Chapter 4—Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Compact Field Panels Reinstalling the Mounting Tabs Do the following to reinstall a DIN mounting tab: 1. Place the wire spring clip into the pocket in the channel for the mounting tab. 2. Make sure the mounting tab is face down. 3. Working from the center (inside) of the base, slide the mounting tab into the channel. (See the following figure.) NOTE: The end with the screw hole slides into the channel first. Figure 37: Reinstalling a DIN Mounting Tab.
Chapter 4—Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Compact Field Panels 3. Check that the battery is properly seated in the battery holder. 4. Replace the battery. BATT LOW LED remains on after the battery has been replaced. Verify that the correct type of battery is being used. The LOW BATT LED remains ON if an alkaline battery is used in TC Compact models with extended temperature range operation. CAUTION Only use a 3.6 Volt lithium battery in TC Compact models with extended temperature range operation.
Chapter 4—Troubleshooting Troubleshooting the TX-I/O Island Bus Communication Points cannot be read or commanded from the operator's terminal. 1. Verify that failed points have been properly addressed. 2. Verify the status of the points at the operator's terminal. Verify that points are not under Operator priority. No communication over the FLN trunk. 1. Verify the FLN address and communication speed. 2. Verify the FLN trunk is connected to the correct FLN port.
Chapter 4—Troubleshooting Troubleshooting the TX-I/O Island Bus CAUTION The TX-I/O™ island bus must extend from the male bus connector of the TX-I/O Power Supply or Bus Connection Module. • The TX-I/O Power Supply and Bus Connection Module only supply 24 Vac to I/O modules on the male bus connector. • I/O modules on the female bus connector of the TX-I/O Power Supply or Bus Connection Module do not receive power and have a fault condition.
Glossary Glossary The glossary contains terms and acronyms that are used in this manual. 1 100Base-TX: Fast Ethernet network implementation. 100Base-TX stands for 10Mbps baseband twisted-pair cable. The “X” stands for 100Base-X, the IEEE identifier for the media system used by 100Base-TX. 10Base-T: Ethernet network implementation. 10Base-T stands for 10Mbps baseband twisted-pair cable. A alarm priority: Ranking of a point alarm.
Glossary Domain Name Server (DNS): Common method of assigning computer names in UNIXbased networks. A DNS server maintains a list of host names and IP addresses, allowing computers that query them to find remote computers by specifying host names rather than IP addresses. DNS is a distributed database; therefore, DNS servers can be configured to use a sequence of name servers, based on the domain in the name being looked for.
Glossary P Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS): Acronym for the standard telephone service that is used in most homes. Communication speed is generally restricted to 52K bps. point condition: State of a point such as normal, alarm, alarm-by-command, failed, operator disabled, or proofing. R Read Only Memory (ROM): Non-volatile, permanent, but field-programmable memory that stores the operating system of the field panel.
