PW-5000 Intelligent Controller 9Installation Guide
TD1115 rev1101
Description
The Intelligent Controller is the heart of the PW-5000 and provides the real time process-
ing for the connected I/O interfaces. It holds the database for the subsystem configura-
tion and card holders, and the event log buffer in battery-backed memory.
Port 1 provides the standard connection to the host computer.
Port 2 provides a redundant connection to the host computer via modem or direct
connection.Up to a total of 32 I/O boards can be connected to ports 3, 4, 5, and 6. This
board has an optional memory expansion board (PW5KxM4) that allows the card data-
base to hold as many as 100,000 cards in addition to a buffer capable of storing 50,000
transactions while this board is off-line. The PW5KxIC is designed to be rack-mounted
for maximum density or tile-mounted to save cost when it is remotely mounted near the
devices to be controlled.
1. Port 1 may be set up as an RS-232 interface or an RS-485 interface. An optional
interface board (PW5KxEN) converts the RS-232 output of port 1 into an Ethernet port
capable of supportingTCP/IP. If this interface board is present, this port must be set up
as an RS-232 interface. See Jumper Settings in the setup section on how to perform this
setup
2. Port 2 may be set up as an RS-232 interface or an RS-485 interface.
3. Ports 3, 4, 5, and 6 are RS-485 interfaces.
An on-board real time clock maintains the date and time, taking into account leap year
and accounting for global time zones and daylight savings time changes. The program is
stored in FLASH memory and may be downloaded through a serial port, allowing the
program to be changed without physically changing board components.
Set Up
The controller hardware is configured with jumpers and a set of 8 switches.These jump-
ers/switches setup the memory chip size, port interface, end of line termination, controller
address, and baud rate. Please refer to the tables.

Power
The controller accepts 12VDC with an operating range of 10 to 16VDC and consumes
400mAofcurrent.
Locate power source as close to this board as possible. Connect power with minimum of
18AWG wires.
The addition of the PW5KxEN adds an additional consumption of 150 mA.
The addition of the PW5KxM4 adds an additional consumption of less than 1 mA.

PW-5000 Intelligent Controller 11Installation Guide
TD1115 rev1101
NOTE:POLARITY for 12VDC power is important. Make sure the +12VDC is
connected to the terminal labeled +12V and the return is connected to the terminal
labeled GND.
Communications
The controller communicates to the host primarily through port 1.
Port 1 may use one of three communications specifications:
RS-232—When this port is selected as an RS-232 interface, the communication is a
direct point to point connection to a host computer port (only one PW5KxIC per computer
port), via direct connection or modem and this device acts as Data Terminal Equipment
(DTE).
RS-485—When this port is selected as an RS-485 interface, up to 8 controller boards
can share one host computer port.
Ethernet—When the Ethernet option board is present, the port is set to the RS-232
setting and DIP switch 5 must be set to ON (handshaking enabled).
The default selection for port 1 is RS-485. The default speed of this port is 38.4Kbps
but it can be downgraded to 19.2Kbps or 9.6Kbps if the line conditions or receiving
equipment require it (see jumper and DIP switch settings).
Port 2 may be set up as RS-232 or RS-485 interface. This port can be configured to act
as a redundant connection to the host. For example, if the RS-232 interface is selected
and a modem is connected, this port can use a telephone connection to the host as a
backup to a direct connection with port 1.When RS-232 is selected this device acts as
DataTerminal Equipment (DTE).
The default selection of port 2 is RS-232. The default speed of this port is 38.4Kbps
but it can be downgraded to 19.2Kbps or 9.6Kbps if the line conditions or receiving
equipment require it (see jumper and DIP switch settings).
Ports 3–6 are RS-485 interfaces.These interfaces allow multi-drop communication up to
4,000 feet (1,250 m total per port).Use two twisted pairs (120Ω, 23pF minimum 24 AWG)
with shield for the communication.Install termination jumper only for end of line unit. The
default speed of each these ports is 38.4Kbps but they can be downgraded to 19.2Kbps
or 9.6Kbps if the line conditions or receiving equipment require it (see jumper and DIP
switch settings). Up to 32 boards can be connected in any combination to ports 3, 4, 5
and 6.
ForWiring to an RS-232 port:
1. TXD indicatesTransmit and is the conductor of data from the PW5KxIC to
another device.
2. RXD indicates Receive and is the conductor of data from another device
to the PW5KxIC.
3. RTS indicates Request To Send and conducts the signal that the PW5KxIC has
data to send.
4. CTS indicates ClearTo Send and conducts the signal that another device
is ready for data.
5. GND is the signal ground. The wiring for this signal is required and NOT optional.
This signal must NOT be tied to Chassis Gnd.

12 PW-5000 Intelligent ControllerInstallation Guide
TD1115 rev1101
6. Use 24 AWG shielded cable up to 25 feet.
ForWiring to an RS-485 port:
1. TR+ is the plus side of the transmit and receive differential signal.
2. TR– is the negative side of the transmit and receive differential signal.
3. GND is the signal ground. The wiring for this signal is required and NOT optional.
This signal must NOT be tied to Chassis Gnd.
4. Use 24 AWG low capacitance, two twisted-pair, shielded cable (Belden 9842 or
equiv.).

Note:For N-485 Communication Connections, twist the blue pair together and use as the
common;use the orange pair as your data pair, observing polarity. Connect the external
drain shield to the appropriate earth ground on one end.
5. When daisy-chaining RS-485 ports together connect theTR+ wires from the up-
stream and downstream boards to theTR+ terminal and likewise, connect the TR–
wires from the upstream and downstream boards to theTR– terminal.
The Ethernet adapter board provides an RJ-45 connection for the network.See the
installation guide for the PW5KxEN for instructions on mounting and connecting the
board to the PW5KxIC
Alarm Inputs
The two alarm inputs on this board are dedicated to the detection of cabinet tamper and
power fault monitoring. The normal (non-alarm) condition is closed contact.If these
inputs are not used, install a shorting wire between the signal terminal and the GND
terminal to simulate the non-alarm state. As the wiring between the alarm sensor and
the input terminals is typically contained within one enclosure, these inputs are not
supervised.
Memory Backup Battery
A 3V Lithium battery backs up the configuration data and the event buffer.This battery
should be replaced annually or sooner if the cabinet is subjected to unusually high
temperatures.
Mounting Options
Thisboard can be mountedon-edge intherack-mountenclosureprovided by NexWatchor
it can be mounted flat against any surface using standoffs under the mounting holes
provided in each of the four corners of this board. The functionality of this board does not
changewith the mounting selection.
