Fig. 10. Bus wiring layout for two singly terminated E-Bus segments.
NOTE: See the E-Bus Termination Module section for wiring details.
IMPORTANT
Notes on communications wiring:
•
All field wiring must conform to local codes and ordinances.
•
Approved cable types for E-Bus communications wiring is Level IV 22 AWG (0.34 mm
2
) plenum or non-plenum
rated unshielded, twisted pair, solid conductor wire. For nonplenum areas, use Level IV 22 AWG (0.34 mm
2
), such
as U.S. part AK3781 (one pair) or U.S. part AK3782 (two pair). In plenum areas, use plenum-rated Level IV, 22
AWG (0.34 mm
2
) such as U.S. part AK3791 (one pair) or U.S. part AK3792 (two pair). See Tables 9 and 10 for part
numbers. Contact Echelon
Corp. Technical Support for the recommended vendors of Echelon
approved
cables.
•
Unswitched 24 Vac power wiring can be run in the same conduit as the E-Bus cable.
•
Do not use different wire types or gauges on the same E-Bus segment. The step change in line impedance
characteristics causes unpredictable reflections on the bus. When using different types is unavoidable, use a
Q7751A Router at the junction.
•
In noisy (high EMI) environments, avoid wire runs parallel to noisy power cables, or lines containing lighting
dimmer switches, and keep at least 3 in. (76 mm) of separation between noisy lines and the E-Bus cable.
•
Make sure that neither of the E-Bus wires is grounded.
Power Wiring
A power budget must be calculated for each Excel 10 W7761 Device to determine the required transformer size for proper
operation. A power budget is simply the summing of the maximum power draw ratings (in VA) of all the devices to be controlled
by an Excel 10 W7761 Device. This includes the device itself, the equipment actuators (ML6161, or other motors) and various
contactors and transducers, as appropriate, for the Excel 10 configuration.
Power Budget Calculation Example
The following is an example power budget calculation for a typical W7761A Excel 10 Device.
