Addressing the TV-UC561 through the Service port
The TV-UC561 is addressed using the controller setup pages. The Local Network tab allows you to discover all i-Vu® XT or TruVu™ devices on a single network and configure them from that page. See Addressing a network of controllers using the controller setup Local Network tab (page 12) and the Local Network (page 42) tab.
You can connect the TV-UC561 to a computer using either the Carrier wireless service adapter or a USB cable.
NOTE You cannot access the Service port by plugging an Ethernet cable into Eth0 or Eth1.

CAUTION The USB local access cable provides a common ground connection between the computer and the controller it connects to. Damage to the controller and possibly the computer's USB port will occur if the controller's input power polarity was not maintained and was also not properly grounded (floating). If you are not sure of the wiring polarity and that the controller was properly grounded, use a USB isolator between the computer and the controller.
To connect the TV-UC561 to a computer using the Carrier wireless service adapter:
1 Insert the Carrier wireless service adapter (part# USB-W) into the controller's USB Service Port to communicate with a Wi-Fi-compatible computer.

CAUTION If the Eth1 port is in use, connect a USB Type-A Male to Female extension cable to the USB ce Port and the Carrier wireless service adapter.

- Address: 169.254.1.x, where x is 2 to 7
- Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.248
Default Gateway: 169.254.1.1
If it uses a DHCP address, leave the address as it is.
4 Open a web browser on the computer
5 Navigate to http://local.access or http://169.254.1.1 to see the controller setup pages.
See To set up the controller through the Service Port (page 40) for detailed information.
To set the IP address
You must define the TV-UC561's IP addressing (IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway) on the controller setup Ports tab so that the controller can communicate with the i-Vu Server on the IP network.
Use one of the IP addressing schemes described below with the associated instructions that follow.
| Use a... | If... |
| DHCP IP Address generated by a DHCP server | The IP network uses a DHCP server for IP addressing |
| Custom Static IP Address from your network administrator | You do not use a DHCP server and the answer to any of the following questions is yes. Will the i-Vu® system:Share a facility's existing IP data network?Be connected to the Internet?Have at least one device located on the other side of an IP router?Be connected to any third-party IP devices? |
NOTE Carefully plan your addressing scheme to avoid duplicating addresses. If third-party devices are integrated into the system, make sure your addresses do not conflict with their addresses.
To set a DHCP IP address
1 On the controller setup Modstat tab, find the controller's Ethernet MAC address and write it down.
2 On the Ports tab under IP Port, select DHCP.
3 Click Save.
4 Write down the IP Address.
5 Give the DHCP network administrator the IP address and Ethernet MAC address and ask him to reserve that IP address for the controller so that it always receives the same IP address from the DHCP server.
To set a custom static IP address
1 Obtain the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway address for the controller from the facility network administrator.
2 On the controller setup Ports tab under IP Port, select Custom Static.
3 Enter the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway addresses given to you by the network administrator.
4 Click Save.
Addressing a network of controllers using the controller setup Local Network tab
You can use the controller setup Local Network tab to discover Carrier i-Vu® XT or TruVu™ devices on a single network. You can configure them and assign addresses to each one using one of the methods described below.
NOTE For this discovery tool to work, the controllers must reside on the same subnet and be downloaded with drv_fwex_107-xx-xxxx or later.
Method 1: To address when you know the serial numbers
1 Connect one i-Vu® XT or TruVu™ device on the IP network to the Service port. For details, see Addressing the TV-UC561 through the Service port (page 9).
NOTE This device is referred to as the "connected controller".
2 Browse to the Service Port address (http://local.access or http://169.254.1.1).
3 On the Ports tab, set the device's IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway.
4 On the controller setup Local Network tab, verify that the device's address information is displayed at the top of the page.
5 On the Local Network tab, click the Clear All button to erase the Local Devices table if there is information in it.
6 Click Discover. The table finds and lists the first 256 unconfigured devices on the same subnet. The table is sorted by serial number.
NOTE A maximum of 256 i-Vu® XT or TruVu™ controllers can be discovered and displayed in the Local Devices table. If you have more than 256 controllers on your network, configure some or all the controllers in the table and click Clear. Check Only Unconfigured and click Discover again. A count appears above the table to report the total number of controllers and the discovered number.
7 To configure devices:
One at a time - Enter the IP Address and Location or name (optional) of each device you wish to configure. When you enter the IP address, that device inherits the original device's subnet mask and default gateway.
Multiple devices simultaneously - Select the devices you want to address, enter the starting IP address in the field under the Address heading, and then click Assign. The selected devices are automatically assigned sequential IP addresses.
NOTE To change the IP Address, the device's Mode must be Custom Static.
For more details about discovering and configuring your devices, see Local Network tab (page 42).
Method 2: To address when you do not know the serial numbers
You will need physical access to each device so that you can press the DSC button on the bottom right of the TV-UC561. This allows you to identify the device on the controller setup Local Network page.

1 Connect to the Service Port of one i-Vu® XT or TruVu™ IP device on the network. For details, see Addressing the TV-UC561 through the Service port (page 9).
2 Browse to the Service Port address (http://local.access or http://169.254.1.1).
3 On the Ports tab, set the device's IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway.
NOTES The other devices that you configure inherit this device's subnet mask and default gateway.
4 On the Local Network tab, click the Clear All button to erase any pre-existing data in the Local Devices table.
5 On the controller you want to address, press the DSC button on the bottom right. When pressed, a row appears in the Local Devices table on the Local Network tab. The row has a blue dot to indicate which controller has just had the button pressed.
6 In the row for the identified controller, enter the Address and Location (optional).
7 Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each controller that you want to address.
8 For more details about discovering and configuring your devices, see Local Network tab (page 42).
NOTE To physically identify a device that is displayed on the Local Devices table, you can click the Blink button, which causes that device's Net and Sys LEDs to flash light blue for 10 seconds.
The following are two possible methods you could use to identify and assign a network of controllers' addresses after following steps 1 - 4 above.
- Two technicians can work together if they are communicating throughout the process. The first technician physically travels around the building to each controller, tells his co-worker exactly where he is, and then presses the DSC button. The second technician, who is sitting at a computer connected to the controller, watches for the blue dot to show up on the Local Devices table on the Local Network tab, where he can enter the appropriate addressing and identifying information.
- One technician alone can address the controllers on a mobile device showing the Local Network page by plugging the Carrier wireless service adapter into a controller's Service Port. Then, with the computer, move to each controller within 100 ft. of the adapter. Pressing the DSC button on the controller displays a blue dot in the table where the addressing information can be entered.
Wiring for communications
The TV-UC561 communicates on the following ports.
| Port | Protocol | Port type(s) | Speed(s) |
| Eth0 | BACnet/IP | Ethernet | 10 or 100 Mbps |
| Eth1 | BACnet/Ethernet | ||
| Service port * | USB 2.0 | USB | |
| Comm Port (future use) | USB 2.0 | USB | |
| Rnet Port | See Wiring devices to the TV-UC561's Rnet port (page 16). | ||
| Act Net Port | See Wiring devices to the TV-UC561's Act Net port (page 17). | ||
* See To set up the controller through the Service port (page 40).
Wiring specifications
| For... | Use... | Maximum Length |
| Ethernet - not daisy chained | Cat5e or higher Ethernet cable | 328 feet (100 meters) |
| Ethernet - a daisy chain configuration | Cat5e or higher Ethernet cable | 164 feet (50 meters) |

WARNINGS
- Do not apply line voltage (mains voltage) to the controller's ports and terminals.
- Do not exceed the minimum bend radius of the Cat5e or Cat6e Ethernet cable. Refer to Ethernet cable manufacturer specifications for minimum bend radius.

To connect the TV-UC561 to the Ethernet
Connect an Ethernet cable from the building BAS system or another TV-UC561 controller to the Eth0 Ethernet port. If necessary, connect another Ethernet cable from the Eth1 port to the next TV-UC561 controller in a daisy chain.
The TV-UC561 has a fail-safe Ethernet relay that bypasses a daisy chained controller in the event of an internal disruption, such as a power loss. When a failure occurs and the switch is bypassing a controller, the network connection on both sides of the controller are electrically connected, which continues the signal and passes it to the next controller.
NOTE If your system has controllers on different IP subnets separated by an IP router, you must configure one controller on each subnet as a BACnet Broadcast Management Device (BBMD). Do not configure more than one BBMD per subnet as this may cause circular routes. See "Setting up BACnet Broadcast Management Devices (BBMDs)" in SiteBuilder or i-Vu® Help.
Wiring devices to the TV-UC561's Rnet port
You can wire the following devices to the TV-UC561's Rnet port in a daisy-chain configuration:
- ZS sensors
- Wireless Adapter that communicates with wireless sensors
- Equipment Touch
- TruVu™ ET Display
See the device's Installation and Start-up Guide for complete wiring instructions.
NOTES
• ZS sensors, a Wireless Adapter, and an Equipment Touch can share the same Rnet.
- The Rnet communicates at a rate of 115.2 kbps.
Wiring devices to the TV-UC561's Act Net port
Supports a combination of up to 5 Act Net addresses, as follows:
• Address 1 is reserved for the Carrier actuator
- Address 2 and 3 are reserved for the VAV Zone II Secondary Duct
• Address 4 and 5 for i-Vu® Smart Valves
Maximum power available for Act Net devices:
• AC supply - 25 VA (1 A)
• DC supply - 15W (0.625A)
- Use an external transformer if your devices exceed the maximum power.

CAUTIONS
If the power source for the Act Net devices require a connection to earth ground, you must place it in the same control panel as the TV-UC561 controller, so that it shares a common earth ground reference, thereby reducing the potential for ground loops.
A remote Act Net power source, installed near the Act Net devices, should be floating (no local connection to earth ground).
The TV-UC561 provides an orange, three-pin removable screw terminal connector for the Act Net port.
Be careful to wire the Act Net port terminals on the controller to the matching terminal on the supported device. They may not be in the same order. See example below.

| Thermistor1 | Precon Type 2 (10kOhm at 77 °F)Input voltages should be from 0.2 Vdc to 4.0 Vdc for thermistors |
| Dry contact | The maximum current when the contact is closed is 0.5 mA. The input voltage should be 4.1 V when the contact is open. Maximum closed contact resistance is 1kOhms. |
| 0-5 Vdc0-10 Vdc | The input impedance of the TV-UC561 is approximately 120 kOhm when configured as a voltage input. |
| Pulse counter2 | Pulse counting up to 10 pulses per second.Minimum pulse width (on or off time) required for each pulse is 50 msec. |
^1 To use a thermistor not listed above, you can set up a custom translation table (page 33) for your sensor in the controller's driver.
^2 The TV-UC561 can perform pulse counting for Dry Contact or Binary Input if you assign the input to a Pulse to Analog Input microblock. See To adjust input and output properties.
Outputs
Analog outputs
Analog outputs can be used for 0-10 Vdc devices. Resistance to the ground must be 500 Ohms minimum.
NOTE The device must share the same ground as the controller.
Binary outputs
There are 2 banks of relays. One bank contains 3 built-in relays, and the other bank contains 2 built-in relays. The relays have dry contacts that share a common bus input. An external voltage source must be wired to the common bus connection for each bank of relays.
Each relay can be used to switch the voltage provided on its associated bus terminal to an external device or relay. Each relay can switch up to 3.75 A, 30 Vac/Vdc. The total power and current that can be switched by a bank of 3 relays cannot exceed the Class 2 limits of 100 VA or 4.2 A.
Universal output
The TV-UC561's universal output can be set as analog or binary using the Analog/Binary DIP switch located to the left of the output terminals.
When the DIP switch is in the Analog position, the universal output can be used for pulse-width modulated (PWM) control of devices, such as electrically commutated motors. When used in pulse-width mode, the output voltage is 12 Vdc and the frequency is locked at 80 Hz. Use a BAO microblock to enable this.
NOTE The PWM output signal is intended to directly control the speed of an ECM-type fan, eliminating the need for an external converter board.

WARNING Do not apply voltage to the universal output if the DIP switch is set to Analog.
Wiring specifications

| Pulse counterTLO | 1000 feet(305 meters) | 22 AWG | Shielded |
Output wiring
To size output wiring, consider the following:
- Total loop distance from the controller to the controlled device
NOTE Include the total distance of actual wire. For 2-conductor wires, this is twice the cable length.
- Acceptable voltage drop in the wire from the controller to the controlled device
- Resistance (Ohms) of the chosen wire gauge
• Maximum current (Amps) the controlled device requires to operate
To wire inputs and outputs

WARNING Do not apply line voltage (mains voltage) to the controller's ports and terminals.
The Gnd terminal is shared by the inputs/outputs to the right and left of it.

The TV-UC561 has connections for two separate busses.

1 Verify that the TV-UC561's power and communications connections work properly.
2 Turn off the TV-UC561's power.
3 Connect the input wiring to the screw terminals on the TV-UC561.
NOTE Connect the shield wire to the - terminal with the ground wire. Do not connect the shield wire at the other end of the cable as this will cause a ground loop error.

4 If you are using the UO, set the universal output's DIP switch to Binary or Analog for the type of device wired to the output.

ERNINGS
The universal output is set to Binary in the factory. To avoid damage to the controller, use a voltmeter to verify there is no voltage on the UO-01 (+) and Common (-) terminals before setting the DIP switch to Analog.
Do not apply voltage to the universal output if the DIP switch is set to Analog.
5 Connect binary and analog output wiring to the screw terminals on the TV-UC561 and to the controlled device.
6 Connect the ground wire to the AO outputs' terminals.

*Applicable when UO-01 is configured as an analog output.

*Applicable when UO-01 is configured as a binary output.

24 Vac/Vdc, 3.75 A max.
7 Turn on the TV-UC561's power.
See Troubleshooting inputs and outputs (page 52).
NOTE You can install connector covers (sold separately, part #PLM-KIT) by snapping them over the terminal block sections on the top and bottom of the controller.
To adjust input and output properties
An input or output must be assigned to its corresponding point in the control program. This is typically done when the control program is created, but you can adjust the settings at the time of installation in the i-Vu® interface.
1 In the i-Vu® navigation tree, select the equipment controlled by the TV-UC561.
2 On the Properties page, select the I/O Points tab.
3 In each point's Num field, type the number of the controller's corresponding input or output. For example, if you use UO1 on the TV-UC561 for the point Pump S/S, type 1 in the Num field for Pump S/S.
NOTES
• Exp (expander number) is 00 for the inputs and outputs located on the TV-UC561.
- Do not assign the same output number to more than one point.
4 Enter the appropriate values for each input and output in the remaining columns. See Input values, Output values, Resolution values and Offset/Polarity values below.
5 If you have not performed the initial download to the attached controller, you must download now to verify inputs and outputs.
6 To verify each input's operation, force each sensor to a known value, then compare it to the Value shown on the Properties page on the I/O Points tab.
7 To verify each output's operation, lock each output to a known condition on the I/O Points tab, then verify that the equipment operates correctly.
See Troubleshooting inputs and outputs (page 52).

^1 The sensor reads a value and sends a corresponding signal (Volts) to the TV-UC561's physical input. The Analog Input microblock uses the Min and Max values to linearly translate the signal into the engineering value used in subsequent control logic.
^2 You can set up a custom translation table (page 33) on the driver's Custom Translation Tables pages in the i-Vu® interface.
^3 The control program must have one Pulse to Analog Input microblock for each pulse counting input.

^1 The Analog Output microblock uses the Min and Max values to linearly translate its incoming value into a physical output signal (Volts) sent from the TV-UC561 to a device. For example, set Min to 0 and Max to 100 for an Analog Output microblock that receives a 0 to 100% open signal from a PID microblock and that controls a 0–10 Vdc actuator so that when the PID signal is 100%, the TV-UC561 output is 10 Vdc. Similarly, when the PID signal is 50%, the TV-UC561 output is 5 Vdc.
Resolution values
Resolution is not particular to a type of input or output, but the driver handles analog and binary inputs and outputs differently. To set these values appropriately, you should understand how the driver uses them.
| Resolution | Notes |
| Analog Input (BAI) | The driver rounds the microblock's present value according to the resolution. EXAMPLE If the calculated present value is 13.789 and you set the Resolution to 0.1, the control program uses 13.8 for any calculations downstream from the microblock. |
| Analog Output (BAO) | The driver rounds the wire input value to the microblock before performing any scaling calculations. EXAMPLE If the wire input value is 13.789 and you set the Resolution to 0.1, the microblock uses 13.8 for any scaling calculations. |
Offset/Polarity values
Offset/Polarity is not particular to a type of input or output, but the driver handles analog and binary inputs and outputs differently. To set these values appropriately, you should understand how the driver uses them.
| Offset/Polarity | Notes |
| Analog Input (BAI) | Offset value (positive or negative) adds a fine adjustment to a sensor reading after all scaling for calibration. EXAMPLE If a sensor reads 74.9°F when the actual measured value is 73.6°F, enter an Offset of -1.3 to calibrate the sensor to the measured value. |
| Analog Output (BAO) | You can use the Offset value (positive or negative) to calibrate an output, but you generally do not need to. If used, the driver adds the offset value to the wire input value before performing any scaling calculations to determine the TV-UC561's output. |
| Binary Input (BBI) | Polarity determines the microblock's present value when no signal is received from the equipment.When no signal is received from the equipment, if Polarity is set to:normal–present value is offreversed–present value is on |
| Binary Output (BBO) | Polarity determines the TV-UC561's output based on the control program's signal to the microblock.When the control program's signal to the microblock is on, if Polarity is set to:normal–output is onreversed–output is offNOTE Regardless of Polarity, the output will be off if the TV-UC561 loses power. |

Adjusting the TV-UC561 driver properties
After you find and upload the TV-UC561 in the i-Vu® interface, you may want to customize the TV-UC561's settings for your applications. You can change settings on the Driver Properties page.
1 In the i-Vu® interface, right-click the TV-UC561 in the navigation tree and select Driver Properties.
2 Adjust the driver as desired.
Driver
The Driver page provides the following information plus the items described in the table below:
• The date/time of last parameter change or the last time the database was archived
• If control programs, properties, and schedules were successfully stored in memory
• The date/time of last backup and restore
• Undelivered Alarm Status
TouchScreen Control
| TouchScreen Schedule Edit Enable | Check this field to allow a user to edit this controller's schedules from an Equipment Touch or System Touch Schedules screen.NOTE Schedules edited on an Equipment Touch or System Touch are not uploaded to the i-Vu® application. This could result in the controller operating on a schedule that differs from the one you see in the i-Vu® interface. |
| Controller Clock | |
| Clock Fail Date and Time | Date and time the controller uses when its real-time clock is invalid. |
| Time Synch Sensitivity (seconds) | When the controller receives a time sync request, if the difference between the controller's time and the time sync's time is greater than this field's value, the controller's time is immediately changed. If the difference is less than this field's value, the controller's time is slowly adjusted until the time is correct. |
| Network Microblocks | |
| BACnet third party Integration points capacity, integration points requested, and integration points active | Shows how many third-party BACnet points the TV-UC561 allows (capacity), how many points are in the control program (requested), and how many are currently active (not disabled in i-Vu®).For example, if the controller allows 400 points, the control program has 350 points, and you disabled 30 points in i-Vu®, you will see:Integration points capacity: 400Integration points requested: 350Integration points active: 320 |
| Number of poll retries before Network Input Microblocks indicate failure | The maximum number of retries after the initial attempt that a Network microblock will attempt to communicate with its target device. If unsuccessful, the point will transition to an idle state for 30 seconds before attempting to communicate again. Change this field only if directed by Technical Support. |
| Periodic reblnding interval | If a microblock uses a wildcard in its address, this timer determines how often the microblock will attempt to find the nearest instance of its target. For example, if an outside air temperature address uses a wildcard, a VAV application will look for the outside air temperature on the same network segment or on the nearest device containing that object. |
| BACnet COV Throttling | |
| Enable COV Throttling | Under normal circumstances, COV Throttling should be enabled to prevent excessive network traffic if an object's COV Increment is set too low. See EXCEPTION below.When enabled, if an object generates excessive COV broadcasts (5 updates in 3 seconds), the driver automatically throttles the broadcasts to 1 per second. Also, if the object's value updates excessively for 30 seconds, an alarm is sent to the i-Vu® application listing all objects that are updating excessively. A Return-to-normal alarm is sent only after all objects have stopped updating excessively.EXCEPTION: In rare circumstances, such as process control, a subscribing object may require COV updates more frequently than once per second. For these situations, clear this checkbox, but make sure that your network can support the increased traffic. You will also need to disable the Excessive COV alarms under the driver's Common Alarms. |
| Trend Sampling | |
| Collect a daily midnight sample for all points in this controller that are sampling on COV | For values that change infrequently, select to verify at midnight daily that the point is still able to communicate trend values. |
