iC Device Manager

Note

Please note that if the switch 1 on the S3 DIP switch is on, than configuration of the fan, reheater, and perimeter type from any other source is blocked (iC Device Manager), as well as any changes made to the referring parameters (for example, Heater Priority) will not be written to the device.

The iC Device Manager service for Niagara Framework is dedicated for iSMA CONTROLLI VAV14-IP controllers. The service enables configuration of the parameters in the VAV controller in three areas:

  • VAV application;

  • flow settings;

  • balancing.

Using iC Device Manager

Adding the Module

The iC Device Manager service is a part of the iC Workbench and iC Niagara Expansion Pack (from version 4.14).

Note: For a correct operation of the iC Device Manager service, it is required also to have the latest iClib version.

To start using the iC Device Manager service, go to the Palette window (in iC Workbench or other Niagara tool) and select the Open Palette option.

Confirm with OK, the palette is ready to use in the Palette window.

The only location where the service will operate properly is Config → Services.

Services location

Drag and drop the iC Device Manager service to Services.

Warning!

For the iC Device Manager service to fully operate, make sure that the VAV14-IP controller is added to the BACnet network in Drivers.

If BACnet has been configured using the default BACnetNetwork module, it is required to add the VAV Configuration Point (from the iSMA_CONTROLLI-Library) to Tuning Policies:

Adding the VAV Device

Offline

  1. Add the VAV14-IP device from the iSMA_CONTROLLI_Library (BACnetNetwork → ComfortManagement), according to user requirements: VAV14_CONFIG_POINT or VAV14_PROXY_POINT.

  2. Go to BACnetNetwork in the station and invoke the Discover action.

  3. Mark the offline device and the device to be matched with it, and confirm with the Match button.

Config and proxy points

Online

  1. Go to BACnetNetwork in the station and invoke the Discover action.

  2. Add the discovered VAV14-IP device(s).

  3. From the iSMA_CONTROLLI_Library select points for devices to be configured as proxy or config points.

Warning!

For a proper recognition of the device, the iC Device Manager verifies its hardware type, firmware version, and application version. From these values, only the application version is read from the AI 100 point. Make sure it is added to the device, otherwise, it may not be visible in the service.

Proxy and config points

Proxy points are BACnet points configured as proxy and placed under the Points folder. These consume Niagara license points.

Config points are BACnet points configured as config and placed under the Config folder. These points do not consume Niagara license points.
