1 INTRODUCTION
This is a miniature computing platform that can be installed as part of a Trend BeMS (Building
energy Management System). It has been specifically designed to easily interface between the
Sontay SonNet Wireless Receiver, and a Trend BeMS (Building energy Management System). It
supports
SonNet proprietary protocol via P1
direct connection to Trend network allowing devices to appear as a Trend IQ3 controller via
the Ethernet port
standard or IP alarm conditions
Note We also provide an interface to a BACnet BeMS.

Remember Typically, individual systems (energy control, lighting, boiler and air conditioning
system, etc.) are individually measured for CO2 accountability. So, installing this
unit and combining the individual systems can help an effective BMS be more
energy efficient and comply with April 2006 Part L2 Building Regulations.
This product exposes information from SonNet ‘End devices’via its connection to a single
SonNet RF-RXS wireless receiver to the Trend BMS. Selected data, e.g. Amps, Voltage or
Temperature, from battery or permanently powered ‘End devices’ can be retrieved, logged (‘Map
points’ page), and presented (‘vIQ’ configuration pages’) allowing building managers prevent
outages, optimise the energy distribution and maintain building systems before any serious
problem occurs.
Each unit variant determines the maximum number of connected SonNet ‘End devices’,
including a default of 20 points per ‘End device’(see Error! Not a valid bookmark self-
reference.).
It is designed and manufactured to comply with CE Class A, FCC Class A, WEEE (Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment), RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) regulations
and the identification of a substance as Substance of Very High Concern (REACH).

1.1 THE UNIT
The unit includes internal web based (html5) Configuration pages, designed to simplify the
engineering and configuration of the unit. The SIP SonNet-Trend displays each Sontay SonNet
wireless ‘End device’ communicating with the SonNet RF-RXS wireless receiver (connected at
P1) as a Trend IQ3 controller on the Trend BMS Supervisor.
It includes a set of pages that simplifies the
configuration of the IP settings for identifying the SIP on the IP network
configuration of communication requirements between the SIP and the SonNet RF-RXS
wireless receiver, and the SIP and the Trend BMS
configuration of the required ‘End device’ points and the mapping to the required vIQ OS
Note This product does not support alarms and plots.
1.1.1 Front Panel Annunciation
The LEDs on the unit are arranged in a group that indicate the general status of this product,
including Power, Ready and LAN communication activity and a group that shows the
communications activity with slave devices on the Sontay SonNet RF-RXS wireless receiver.

Ready LED
This LED indicates the current status of the boot up process.
When illuminated continuously the required files have been loaded to the RAM disk and the
unit has successfully booted up. If the LED is off, the unit is not ready or has failed to boot
up.
Ethernet (Activity) LED
This LED indicates the communication between this unit and the supervisory
computer or controller connected via the Ethernet.
When continuously illuminated the unit is currently connected to a device on the appropriate
Ethernet cable. If general Ethernet communications traffic is detected, the LED will
extinguish irregularly as communications traffic is detected. The LED is off (extinguished) if a
valid Ethernet connection is not detected.
Serial Ports LEDs
The P1 to P4 LEDs show the communication traffic between the unit and Sontay SonNet
RF-RXS wireless receiver connected via the corresponding Serial port, P1.

1.2.1 SonNet Network
The Sontay® SonNet radio system is a proprietary protocol solely for use with SonNet wireless
‘End devices’ It. is comprised of a receiver, battery powered sensors and permanently powered
routers. Routers, though permanently powered, can also have sensing elements, accomplishing
both router and sensors functions.
Note This unit is connected directly to the SonNet RF-RXS wireless receiver.
The SonNet RF-RXS wireless receiver supports a maximum of 16 directly connected ‘child’
devices (max. 12 battery powered nodes, and max. 4 routers). Routers support a maximum of 16
directly connected ‘child’devices (max. 8 battery powered nodes, and max. 8 routers).
Caution A maximum depth of 8 layers of routers in a network and a maximum of 50 nodes
per network is permitted, but is dependent on the SIP SonNet-BACnet product.
Note Battery powered devices can only route their signals to the receiver directly or
through routers, and not through other battery powered devices.
Contact Sontay for a list of compatible ‘End devices’.

1.2.2 Trend Network
The vIQ (Virtual IQ) software enables this unit to present each SonNet wireless ‘End device’ as a
Trend IQ3 controller (OS (out-station)), directly onto the Trend network via a defined VCNC Node
and Port. The defined VCNC Node also represents a Node (OS) on the network.
Remember OSs (and VCNCs) are subject to the constraints imposed by the Trend network,
e.g. Node 2, Node 3 and Node 10 are reserved.
Each transferred SonNet wireless ‘End device’ value has a default configuration which relates to
a standard Trend module (sensor, digital Input, knob, and switch). The vIQ has the full
complement of functionality such as labels, alarms and plots.
