 | EN52 – Understanding Users
To increase engineering productivity and provide consistency when creating station databases, Vykon HVAC automatically creates a number of user accounts. This engineering note looks at these pre-configured users, how to manage them, what they can and cannot do and how to add new users.
|
 | EN51 – The User Defined Sensor
If you are not able to use any of the pre-programmed popular sensor types, the “User defined” option is available on every Analogue Input channel so that you can create a conversion look-up table to support your particular sensor. This engineering note describes how to configure a ‘User defined’ sensor type.
|
 | EN50 – Supply and Demand
Heat is supplied to meet the demands of delivery applications which can be disabled by the heat suppliers. This engineering note looks at the two levels of interlinking between supply and delivery applications.
|
 | EN47 – Adding a dashboard and kiosk
This engineering note illustrates how Periscope™ from Activelogix can be added to a Vykon HVAC station to easily provide browser based dashboards and kiosks directly from the JACE
|
 | EN46 – An AHU temperature control example
The AHU application has many options in the control of supply air temperature. This engineering note explores one combination of options to illustrate some of the principles of air temperature control in the Vykon HVAC AHU application.
|
 | EN43 – Customising Settings
If you have customised an application by adding custom wire sheet logic you may also wish to add its settings adjustments and information. This can be easily done by one of two methods which are illustrated in this engineering note
|
 | EN41 – The Consumption Meter application
The Consumption Meter application is one of several standard applications that are available within the palette of Vykon HVAC. This engineering note describes its features and illustrates how it can be embedded within Vykon HVAC super applications and included in their graphical views
|
 | EN39 – The Application View Editor
The Application View Editor is a workbench tool that enables the easy customisation of application graphics so that the views can better illustrate site arrangements and include any custom application strategies. This engineering note describes the operation of the Application View Editor which was re-introduced at Release 2.2
|
 | EN38 – Multi-station object linking
This engineering note describes the operation, use and set up of the multi-station object linking which was introduced at Release 2.2
|
 | EN37 – The mobile user interface
This engineering note describes the use and set up of the Mobile user interface which was introduced at Release 2.2
|
 | EN36 – Vykon HVAC Supervisor
Using a worked example, this engineering note describes the steps needed to create a Vykon HVAC supervisor station running in a PC platform.
|
 | EN34 – Using discrete inputs for equipment run and alarm status
This engineering note describes how to add both alarm feedback and running feedback signals to a digital output channel
|
 | EN32 – Integration of BACnet equipment
The configuration of Vykon HVAC applications is very flexible which enables them to operate with field equipment that is connected to the JACE with a variety of field-bus standards. This engineering note describes how a Variable Speed Drive (VSD) Supply Fan, using the BACnet protocol is connected to the JACE.
|
 | EN31 – Translation into non-English languages
Vykon HVAC provides non-English language support by the use of lexicons. This engineering note describes the process of creating and testing these lexicon files.
|
 | EN30 – Automating the creation of custom applications
Vykon HVAC is designed to automate the process of application generation. However if an application is required which is not in the Vykon HVAC library then it needs to be created as a custom application. An example is illustrated in this engineering note.
|
 | EN29 – Metering with M-Bus
Meter data can be included within the Vykon HVAC application easily by adding the appropriate meter driver, devices and points. The graphical user view can be engineered to follow the same look and feel as the other applications by using standard Vykon HVAC graphical widgets. This engineering note explains how some M-Bus meter data can be integrated into a Vykon HVAC station.
|
 | EN28 – A combination graphic
This engineering note is an exercise to create graphics for Vykon HVAC by using one of the custom application containers.
|
 | EN27 – A pump mini application
This engineering note is a simple first step exercise to illustrate how easy it is to create custom graphics for Vykon HVAC by using one of the mini applications.
|
 | EN24 – An application using wireless sensors
This engineering note describes an example application using wireless sensors connected to the JACE via RS485 Modbus with their values linked into the Vykon HVAC applications. All the devices in this wireless sensor system are manufactured by Produal and they are available from SyxthSense Ltd.
|
 | EN22 – Modbus networks, ports and licenses
The Vykon HVAC modules are Modbus devices and they conform to the Modbus recommendations. It is sometimes necessary to mix Vykon HVAC modules with other Modbus devices to provide other functions or data for the station. This can be done as long as certain points are considered. This engineering note discusses some of the issues around Modbus communications of Vykon HVAC.
|
 | EN21 – Module communications settings
When the ‘New HVAC station wizard’ creates a station, one of the many things it does is to install and pre-configure a Modbus communications network into the station so that when the station starts with its connected Vykon HVAC I/O modules, they immediately communicate. This engineering note details for reference, some of the property settings of the Vykon HVAC Modbus driver.
|
 | EN20 – Analogue input sensor types
Each analogue input channel of a Vykon HVAC module can be configured to one of a number of analogue sensor types. The firmware of the module contains some pre-programmed lookup tables that represent popular sensors which are described in this engineering note.
|
 | EN4 – Inverting the sense of a digital input
When a digital input is mapped to an application, the contact sense, by default, determines that an OPEN circuit is interpreted as a boolean FALSE condition and a CLOSED circuit is a boolean TRUE condition. You can, however, choose to invert the sense of the contact input on the 10-DI and MULTI-IO modules to match your specific site demands. This engineering note describes how to do this.
