Using the UNI/59
The UNI/59 provides the communications
link between the CMnet and up to 59 T-Line
or U-Line modules. You cannot use a
combination of T-Line and U-Line modules
with the UNI/59. The UNI/59 module can
store one module driver and up to 59 Graphic
Function Blocks (GFBs), depending on the
size of the GFBs.
A UNI/59 module contains a 32-bit
microprocessor, flash memory, and non-
volatile RAM (stores data even during a
power failure) for executing GFBs. The
UNI/59 can communicate with an optional
BACview keypad/display using the Keypad
Display port and can communicate with a
laptop computer running SuperVision using
the UNI/59’s Access port and an APT.
You must use a version 6.00g driver or later
with this module. Two module drivers are
available for the UNI/59:
•The U5M module driver (which is the
default driver shipped with the module)
supports only U-Line modules. See the
U5M Module Driver document at
http://www.automatedlogic.com, or
the SupportPlus CD for more
information.
•The U5I module driver (available on the
Automated Logic Corporation web site)
supports only T-Line modules. See the
U5I Module Driver document at
http://www.automatedlogic.com, or
the SupportPlus CD for more
information.
Make sure you use the correct module driver
for your application.

2. Make sure the 24VAC power source is off.
3. Connect the power wires to the module’s
power terminals labeled Ground and
24VAC.
4. Apply power to the transformer.
5. Make sure that 24VAC is present at the
module’s power input terminals.
6. Set the module’s address. Refer to
“Addressing”on page 5 for details about
setting the address.
7. Turn the module’s power switch on.
When the module turns on, the Power,
Run and Error LEDs turn on and the Run
and Error LEDs begin blinking. The Error
LED then turns off. (See “LEDs”on page 9
for more information about LED signals.)
Communicating with the
UNI/59
The UNI/59 connects to the CMnet through
an EIA-485 CMnet port. A five-pin EIA-485
port provides two connections to T-Line or U-
Line modules on the Unet. The UNI/59 also
provides an EIA-232 port for diagnostic
purposes. You can connect an optional
BACview1or BACview2keypad display unit to
the keypad display port (see Figure 2 on page
3).
You must use SuperVision to transfer memory
to the UNI/59. You can connect a portable
computer running SuperVision to the UNI/59
using the module’s Access port. For more
information about connecting to a
workstation, refer to “Communicating with
the Workstation”on page 8.
Connecting to T-Line or U-Line
modules
The UNI/59 supports up to 59 T-Line or U-
Line modules. If you are using T-Line
modules, you must use a REPOPT repeater
after every 20 modules on the Unet. If you are
using U-Line modules, you must use a
REPOPT repeater after every 32 modules on
the Unet. Since the UNI/59 has two Unet
connections, you do not need a repeater if
you use 32 or fewer U-Line modules on each
Unet connection.
NOTE You cannot combine T-Line and U-
Line modules on the UNI/59.
The baud rate of the Unet is set on the module
driver Parameter page. Refer to the U5I
Module Driver document or U5M Module
Driver document for more information.
When using T-Line modules, if the
communication wires exceed 20 feet in
length, use a Tnet Protection Board (ALC part
number TNPB) between the UNI/59 and the T-
Line modules. Refer to the TNPB Technical
Instructions for details.
Automated Logic Corporation recommends a
specific wire for both power and
communications on the Unet. This wire,
which contains a pair of 14AWG wires for
power and a pair of 22AWG wires for
communication, is available from:
Magnum Cable Corporation
Cleveland, OH 44110-0500
[phone]
Product number A3U-LINE
Note that the communication wire is
unshielded. Shielded cable is not required for
the Unet.
Use the Unet connection port to connect the
UNI/59 to the T-Line or U-Line modules. The
Unet connection port can make two
connections to the Unet, as shown in Figure 3
on page 5. Make sure the Unet connection
port configuration jumpers are set to UNI and
EIA-485 (see Figure 4 on page 5).

Revised 1/3/01 •UNI/59 5 © 2001 Automated Logic Corporation
Make sure that all T-Line or U-Line modules
and the TNPB use the same polarity
throughout the subnet. You can verify that the
UNI/59 is communicating with the subnet by
making sure the Unet transmit and receive
LEDs are active.
When adding a new T-Line or U-Line module
to an existing subnet, you must transfer
memory to the UNI/59 before the new card is
recognized.
Connecting the UNI/59 to the CMnet
When communicating on an ARC156 CMnet,
use an A3ARC156 wire available from
Magnum Cable Corp. Use a dedicated 22AWG
to 18AWG twisted pair wire for legacy CMnet
(EIA-485) wiring. For more information about
CMnet wiring, refer to the Technical Handbook
or to the ARC156 CMnet Wiring Technical
Instructions.
To set the baud rate at 156 kbps (when using
an ARC156 CMnet), set the baud rate jumper
to Arc156 (see Figure 5).
To set the baud rate at 38.4 kbps, set the baud
rate jumper to 9600/38.4K, and set the first
switch on the eight-position DIP switch to
38.4K (see Figure 6).
To set the baud rate at 9600 bps, set the baud
rate jumper to 9600/38.4K, and set the first
switch on the eight-position DIP switch to
9600 (see Figure 6).
You can verify that the UNI/59 is
communicating on the CMnet by making sure
the CMnet transmit and receive LEDs are
active.
Addressing
The UNI/59 has an eight-position DIP switch
for assigning the module’s CMnet address.
Before setting or changing the address, make
sure the UNI/59’s power is off, since the

UNI/59 only reads the address when the
module is turned on. After changing the
address, you must transfer memory to the
module. Refer to the section “Transferring
Memory”.
Switches two through eight of the DIP switch
are labeled with addressing values. The
values of the switches in the on position are
added together to determine the module’s
address. For example, in Figure 7 switch
numbers six and seven are both on, giving the
module an address of six.
Transferring Memory
The UNI/59 module can store the U5I or U5M
module driver and up to 59 Graphic Function
Blocks (GFBs), depending on the size of the
GFBs. All GFBs stored in the UNI/59 must be
made using the Zone GFB option in Eikon.
Refer to the Eikon User’s Guide for more
information.
To transfer GFBs to the UNI/59, you must use
SuperVision version 2.6b or later software,
and you must use FBLINK version 2.7a or
later. For more information about using
SuperVision, refer to the SuperVision User’s
Guide.
The first memory transfer to the UNI/59 takes
longer than subsequent memory transfers.
1. Connect your workstation or portable
computer to the UNI/59. Refer to
“Communicating with the Workstation”on
page 8.
2. Navigate to the UNI/59’s module driver
and look at the module status report in
SuperVision to make sure the module type
and number agree with the module. The
module type for the UNI/59 is 76.
•To view the module status report in
SuperVision v3.0, click Tools-
Troubleshooting-Module Status.
•To view the module status report in
SuperVision v2.6b, press the Esc key,
type MO , , module address,15 and
press Enter.
3. Transfer memory to the module.
•In SuperVision 3.0, click Tools-

•In SuperVision 2.6b, choose Download
Memory for This Module.
4. When the memory transfer is finished,
check the module status report again.
Make sure the FB List on this page shows
all the FBs you intended to transfer.
Using Flow Sensors
The UNI/59 supports T-Line or U-Line
modules that use flow sensors. You must
calibrate each sensor to ensure accurate
readings. Use the calibration instructions on
the Parameter page of each FB that uses a
flow sensor. For U-Line modules, you must
indicate on the U5M’s Parameter page (in the
U-Card Flow Control section) how air flow is
controlled by each U-Line module. Refer to
the U5M Module Driver document for details.
For T-Line modules, the zero point must be
set in the U5I module driver; use the
procedure below for each FB that uses a flow
sensor. Set the gain using the FB’s Parameter

page; refer to the U5I Module Driver document
for details.
Setting the flow sensor’s zero point
(T-Line modules)
1. Turn off the Air Handling Unit serving the
VAV box you are calibrating.
2. In SuperVision, view the UNI module
driver Status page (FB#15).
3. On the Flow Calibration table, subtract the
FB's Current Value from the 0.00 Value.
For example, if the Current Value is 128
and the 0.00 Value is 130, the result is 2
(130 - 128 = 2).
4. On the module driver's Parameter page,
enter this result in the Flow Zero Offset
parameter.
5. Check the module driver's Status page
again. If the Adjusted Value on the
Calibration table matches the 0.00 Value,
calibration is complete. If not, repeat steps
3 through 5.
Troubleshooting
If there is a problem and you are not receiving
correct values from the equipment, use the
Diag Port to troubleshoot the problem (see
Figure 2 on page 3).
1. On the module driver Parameter page, in
the Diagnostic Port Setup section, enter
the connection information you will be
using.
2. Connect a DC95 or DC99 cable between
the Diag Port and a computer that is
running a communications program like
HyperTerminal or Terminal. To make your
own cable, use the diagrams in Figure 8.
3. Set up your communications program
with the correct COM port and baud rate
settings to display the diagnostic
information output by the UNI/59. The
diagnostic messages have been written to
help you understand what is happening;
see Figure 9 on page 8.
4. Refer to “Troubleshooting Tips”for
possible solutions. If you are unable to
solve the problem, save the diagnostic
capture to a file and contact Technical
Support at [phone].
Understanding the Diagnostic
Capture
Different levels of detail are provided by the
five diagnostic levels. Level 4 contains the
most detail and is shown in the example in
Figure 9 on page 8. The diagnostic level is
determined by the Diagnostic Port Setup
section on the Parameter page.
Troubleshooting Tips
If you are having trouble communicating with
the UNI/59, check these items before
contacting Technical Support.
•Make sure the serial cable is connected
at both ends. In more complex systems,
make sure that all cables involved are
attached correctly.
•Make sure the UNI/59 and the T-Line or
U-Line modules have power and are
turned on. In more complex systems,
make sure all equipment has power and
is turned on. Some devices, especially
communication devices, receive power
from a source other than a power cable
or adapter (for example, some devices
receive power through communication

lines). Some panels can be reinitialized
by resetting the panel.
•Make sure the module driver and all
GFBs are transferred into the module.
You can verify this by checking the
module status report for the UNI/59
module.
•Make sure the module driver
parameters and the parameters for each
GFB are set up properly in SuperVision.
Communicating with the Workstation
You can connect a workstation or portable
computer directly to the UNI/59 module using
an APT and the module’s Access port (see
Figure 10). This type of connection can be
used to troubleshoot the module or transfer
memory.
The baud rate of the Access port is
determined by the first switch on the eight-
position DIP switch (see Figure 7 on page 6). If
you need to change the switch’s position, turn
the UNI/59 module off first. Once you have
adjusted the switch, turn the module back on.
1. Connect the computer’s serial port to the
EIA-232 port of the APT using a standard
straight-through serial cable.

Protection
The UNI/59 module is protected by internal
solid state Polyswitches on the incoming
power and CMnet. These Polyswitches are
not replaceable and will reset themselves if
the condition that caused the fault returns to
normal.
Production Date
To determine when a module was
manufactured, check the module status
report for the module in SuperVision. Refer to
the SuperVision User’s Guide for more
information about the module status report.
A sticker on the back of the module also
shows the date the module was
manufactured. The first three characters on
the sticker indicate the type of module. The
next two characters show the year and month
of manufacture. (The month digit is in
hexadecimal.)
