Symbols used in this manual
This manual describes the EM-LON expansion
module that supplements EASYLAB TCU3
controllers and TAM adapter modules with a
LonWorks-FTT-10A interface.
To ensure complete functioning of the expansion
module it is essential to read this operating and
installation manual before starting any work, and
to comply with it.The manual must be given to the
facilities manager when handing over the system.
The facilities manager must include the manual with
the system documentation.
The manufacturer does not accept any liability
for any malfunction or damage resulting from
non-compliance with these instructions or non-
compliance with relevant statutory regulations.
Other applicable documentation
In addition to this manual, the following documents
apply:
• Control Systems catalogue
– EASYLAB EM-LON expansion module
– EASYLAB TCU3 controller
• Project-specific wiring documents
1 General information

General information regarding safety
Only skilled qualified personnel are allowed to
perform the described work on the expansion
module. Only skilled qualified electricians are
allowed to work on the electrical system.
For all work performed on EASYLAB components,
the following regulations and guidelines must be
complied with.This applies in particular to the
following German country specific regulations or as
appropriate in the country where the installation is
taking place:
• Equipment and Product Safety Laws (GPSG)
• Industrial Health and Safety Regulations
(BetrSichV)
• Accident Prevention Regulations (BGV A1,
BGV A3)
General safety measures
• Large temperature differences
Condensation can damage the electronics
beyond repair. If the expansion module has been
kept in an unheated area, wait at least two hours
before switching on the supply voltage for
commissioning.
• Electrostatic charge
Electrostatic charge can damage the electronics.
For this reason, first touch an equipotentially
bonded metal surface, e.g. a water pipe, for
electrical earthing before you remove the unit
from its protective wrapping. Avoid skin contact
with any components or printed circuits on the
expansion module or the main PCB.
• Installing the PCB
Tighten the mounting screws and distance pieces
only hand-tight to avoid damage to the PCB or to
the fixing points in the casing.
• Foreign matter and liquids
If liquid gets onto the PCB or inside the
expansion module, let the expansion module
completely dry before commissioning. Remove
foreign matter, if any.
If the device emits a smell or smoke, have it
checked by the manufacturer.

2 Safety and correct use
Correct use
The EM-LON expansion module provides a
LonWorks interface for EASYLAB base
components.
• Use the expansion module only for an EASYLAB
TCU3 controller or a TAM adapter module.
• Use the expansion module only within the
ranges given in the technical data.
• When used on a room controller or adapter
module with active room management function
(RMF) the expansion module provides data for
the entire room.
• When used on a fume cupboard controller, room
controller or adapter module the expansion
module provides access to the data of the
controller.
• Observe the technical data of the expansion
module.
Incorrect use
Do not use the expansion module outdoors, in wet
areas, or in potentially explosive atmospheres.
Residual risks
Failure of the LonWorks interface does not affect
the control function of the volume flow controller but
does affect data exchange with the central BMS.
Additional safety measures are required for
safety-relevant applications.

Functional description
The EM-LON expansion module supplements the
EASYLAB base components (TCU3 controller or
TAM adapter module) with a LonWorks interface for
the purpose of linking rooms or individual volume
flow controllers to the central BMS.
The PCB contains terminals for the LonWorks
network and a service pin push button with indicator
light.The PCB can be fitted to the TCU3 or TAM
main PCB using a header.
To simplify diagnosis during commissioning the
expansion module is equipped with two additional
indicator lights that indicate data traffic on the
LonWorks interface.
Standard network variables are used for the
communication within the LonWorks infrastructure.
These variables ensure unambiguous data
exchange between the nodes. For commissioning, it
is necessary to link the network variables between
the nodes (binding). Project software is used to link
the outputs of a node to the inputs of other nodes.

6 Installation
For installation, wiring, and commissioning
observe the recognised technical regulations,
especially safety and accident prevention
regulations.
For any wiring work follow the national and
local regulations and guidelines for electrical
installation.
Installation
The expansion module is to be fitted into the casing
of a TCU3 controller or TAM adapter module.
Step 1
Screw the four distance pieces  into the
corresponding openings in the TCU3 or TAM
main PCB and tighten them (hand-tight only).
Step 2
Take the pin header  and push it from below
through the EM-LON PCB  just far enough such
that the pins protrude slightly on the upper side.
Danger!
Danger of electric shock! Do not touch any
live components! Electrical equipment
carries a dangerous electrical voltage
during operation.
• Only skilled qualified electricians are
allowed to work on the electrical system.
• Switch off the power supply before
working on any electrical equipment.
Important!
Danger of injury from the metal pins of the
pin header.
Wear electrician gloves for protection.


Step 3
Take the EM-LON PCB with the upside up and
position it on the TCU3 or TAM main PCB such that
the pin header is exactly above the corresponding
plug-in base, and the holes for the distance pieces
are above the distance pieces. Then press the PCB
onto the distance pieces.
• In case the positions do not exactly line up,
check whether the pin header is still correctly
positioned.Repeat step 2.
• If the pins have been pushed too far through the
PCB (step 2), the electrical connection may not
work properly. Repeat step 2.
Step 4
Fix the PCB using the four fixing screws .Tighten
the screws only hand-tight.

during operation.
• Only skilled qualified electricians are

• Switch off the power supply before
working on any electrical equipment.
Making connections
The EM-LON PCB has terminals for two bus cables
of a LonWorks network. Depending on the network
topology, controllers at the end of a chain may be
connected to one bus, controllers at other positions
in the chain may be connected to two buses.
Strip the insulation from at least two wires of the bus
cable, insert the bare wires into the terminals and
tighten the screws.
• Fix the bus cable to the casing using the wire
clamping bracket.
• Connect the shield of shielded cables to the
SH terminals.Within a chain (channel) connect
the shield only at one point with the earth.
Earthing the shield at every controller will
lead to interferential voltages.
• To avoid reflections at the end of a chain
(channel) use a terminator.
Recommended bus cables
Bus cables to TIA 568A, category 5
• Belden 8471 or 85102
• Cables to DOCSIS specification level IV
• JY(St)Y 2×2×0.8 (use only twisted pair for
LON-A and LON-B)

the software for the EASYLAB LonWorks node.
The software for the EM-LON expansion module
is available for download on our website.
2.Binding
Create the logical bindings for the network
variables to be transferred by the EM-LON
expansion module. As an alternative, use
polling.
3.Configuration
If necessary, adjust the configuration for
nciMaxSendTime or nciConfig_Occ.
Maintenance
The EM-LON expansion module is
maintenance-free.
