 Product Overview

How this guide can help you

This installation guide takes you through all the steps necessary to install and
setup an LCI-C on a CGAF chiller or an RTAA/RTWA/RTUA. It covers both
electronic circuit board/hardware installation and appropriate LCI-C software
installation and set up.
Tracer Summit building automation systems
If you are connecting the LCI-C to a Tracer Summit™ system, you will not
need the network variable information in the Appendixes. Appendix F,
however, provides a list of additional resources that you may find useful.
Non-Trane building automation systems
If you are connecting the LCI-C to a non-Trane building automation system
using LonTalk,™ Appendixes B through D will provide you with the system
integration information you will need regarding network variables.

What does an LCI-C do?

An LCI-C (LonTalk Communications Interface for Chillers) provides a
communication interface between a chiller controller and a LonTalk network.
LonMark certification
The LonMark organization promotes LonTalk as an industry standard for
control communication.
The LCI-C is certified to the LonMark Chiller Functional Profile 8040 Version
1.0, and follows LonTalk FTT-10A communications system technology.
Compliance with this technology means that the LCI-C can provide an
interface for non-Trane LonTalk networks.
Network variables
LonTalk uses network variables to communicate points on a communication
link. LonMark has defined a list of standard network variables.
Chiller Functional Profile
LonMark calls their standard list of variables for chiller control the Chiller
Functional Profile. This profile is meant to allow interoperability between
control systems and chillers, regardless of chiller type or manufacturer.
The LCI-C Extension
The LCI-C Extension is a list of additional network variables Trane created
that are over and above the ones defined by the Chiller Functional Profile. The
LCI-C Extension is considered “open” because the network variables are not
proprietary.
The network variables in the LCI-C Extension are defined in Appendix D.

LCI-C shipment and inspection

The LCI-C is either factory installed with the chiller controller or shipped as an
individual part for field installation. The service part numbers are:
CGAF - KIT12178
RTAA/RTWA/RTUA - KIT12182

Storage
If the LCI-C is stored for a period of time prior to being installed, it must be
protected from the elements. The temperature of the storage location should
be between -40 °C (-40 °F) and 158 °F (70 °C) and the relative humidity should
be 0–95%, non-condensing.

ACC-SVN32A-EN 5
 Product Overview
Communications
The Tracer LCI-C controller communicates via Trane's LonTalk protocol.
Typically, a communication link is applied between unit controllers and a
building automation system. Communication also is possible via Rover
service tool. Peer-to-peer communication across controllers is possible even
when a building automation system is not present.
You do not need to observe polarity for LonTalk communication links.
The LonTalk communications protocol allows peer to peer communications
between controllers, which allows controllers to share information or data. A
communicated variable input such as setpoint, space temperature, or outdoor
air temperature has priority over a locally wired input to the controller.
Example: if the LCI-C controller has a wired outdoor air temperature sensor
and Tracer Summit or another LonTalk controller sends it a communicated
outdoor air temperature, the communicated value is used by the LCI-C
controller. If a communicated input value is lost, the LCI-C controller reverts
to using the locally wired sensor input.
Device Addressing
LonTalk devices are given a unique address by the manufacturer. This
address is called a Neuron ID. Each LCI-C controller can be identified by its
unique Neuron ID, which is printed on a label on the controller (see figure 1).
The Neuron ID is also displayed when communication is established using
Tracer Summit or Rover service tool. The Neuron ID format is 00-01-64-1C-
2B-00.
LonTalk Communication Link Wiring Requirements
The LonTalk communications link is for connection to a Building LonTalk
Network.
The Communications link wiring is dependent on the network architecture. It
is recommended that a System Integrator refer to "LonWorks FTT-10A Free
Topology Transceiver User's Guide" by the Echelon Corporation for proper
wire selection. The physical limits are defined in Chapter 4, Network Cabling
and Connection. This User's Guide is available on the Echelon Web page. A
typical wire recommendation is Belden 85102, single twisted pair, stranded
19/29, unshielded, 150 C.
For additional wiring information, see the Trane "LonTalk Wiring Installation
guide" (BAS-SVN01A-EN.)

 Hardware Installation Procedures

CGAF
Backward Compatibility
The LCI-C was designed to be backward compatible with existing Chiller
controls on a functional level. All LCI-C features will work on older controller
software.
The differences that will be seen on older CGM and HI software are confined
to the HI display:
• In places where there are references to the network interface it will show
TCI instead of LCI. Such as TCI Module Installed under the Configuration
Menu. That will also refer to an LCI.
• In areas were it should refer to a general BAS/NETWORK it will indicate
TRACER instead. We changed that with the advent of Lonmark since we
may be connected to third party networks.
• Under the Controlling Setpoints Status Menu - Active Capacity Limit Set-
point; It will show 255% when the unit is in Remote network control and
will use that value as capacity limit. This is supposed to be recognized as
"Invalid", but will not affect unit operation since it will allow 100% of com-
pressors. If the user sets the nviCapacityLim for a proper value from LCI
it will use the value transmitted.
The LCI-C will work properly without the anomalies above with the following
software versions which were released as part of the CG Enhancements
project:
• CGM 4.02
• LHI/RHI 28.03
Refer to CG-SVP01B-EN, System Programming Setup to enable LCI-C
control.

WARNING
Hazardous Voltage!
Disconnect all electric power, including remote disconnects
before servicing. Follow proper lockout/tagout procedures to
ensure the power can not be inadvertently energized. Failure to
disconnect power before servicing could result in death or
serious injury.

7. For the LCI external wiring connections, refer to the Field Connection
Wiring Diagram inside the unit control panel.
8. This completes the LCI Module installation and wiring. Restore power to
the unit.
9. Before operating the unit, the operating parameters must be re-

Hardware Installation

WARNING
Hazardous Voltage w/Capacitors!
Disconnect all electric power, including remote disconnects
before servicing. Follow proper lockout/tagout procedures to
ensure the power cannot be inadvertently energized. For variable
frequency drives or other energy storing components provided
by Trane or others, refer to the appropriate manufacturer’s
literature for allowable waiting periods for discharge of
capacitors. Verify with an appropriate voltmeter that all
capacitors have discharged. Failure to disconnect power and
discharge capacitors before servicing could result in death or
serious injury.
1. Install LCI-C bracket using the supplied screws either on top of the 1U2
module, if installed or on the back panel where the 1U2 would be
located.

Appendix D User-defined types

This appendix includes

• User-defined network variable types

• User-defined configuration property types
These user-defined types have been created by Trane for use by Trane con-
trollers. In many cases, the Trane user-defined types contain standard net-
work variable types (SNVTs) to make them easy to understand.

The following tables give a list of diagnostics and their explanation. The diag-
nostics (printed in italics) will appear on the Front Panel display.

CGAF
Table 1 gives a list of diagnostics and their explanation. The diagnostics will
appear on the CLD (clear language display).

Table 1 CGAF Diagnostics

Symptom or Diagnostic Probable Cause Action

BAS Module Valid IPC message not received within a Check IPC communication wiring and
Communications Failure specified time. configuration

BAS/NETWORK Valid LonTalk message not received Check LonTalk communication wiring
Communication Failure within a specified time. and configuration
If connecting to a device that does not
"heartbeat" their variable, then change
the nciRcvHrtBt to 0, which will disable
this diagnostic

Chiller is not using setpoints Chiller is in Local mode. Check the Unit Control on the Human
sent by LonTalk Interface. It must be set to BAS/
Network on the Human Interface in
order for the chiller to use remote
setpoints.
Check that the network variable
nvoChillerStat.local has a value of 0,
which means Remote. A value of 1
means Local.
