Description
NOTE A LogiStat sensor connected to the ZN551 uses IN-4 and IN-5. An RS
room sensor connected to the Rnet port does not use these inputs.
Room sensors
You can wire an RS Standard, RS Plus or RS Pro to the ZN551's Rnet port.
Or you can wire a LogiStat or LogiStat Plus to the ZN551's LStat port. See the
RS Room Sensors Technical Instructions (http://info.automatedlogic.com) or
the LogiStat Sensors Technical Instructions (http://info.automatedlogic.com).
NOTE The ZN551 does not support the LogiStat Pro.
Digital outputs
The ZN551 has 5 digital outputs. You can connect each output to a
maximum of 24 Vac/Vdc. Each output is a dry contact rated at 1 A, 24 V
maximum and is normally open.
Analog outputs
The ZN551 has 1 analog output that supports voltage devices from 0-10 Vdc.
The controlled device must have a minimum of 2000 Ohms resistance
measured from its input to ground and must share the same ground as the
control module.
Mounting slot
The ZN551 is a Class 2 device (less than 30 Vac, 100 VA). Take
appropriate isolation measures when mounting it in a control panel
where non-Class 2 devices (120 Vac or greater) are present.
Do not power pilot relays from the same transformer that powers the
ZN551.
NOTE You can power several control modules from the same transformer if
you maintain the same polarity.
Pull the screw terminal connector from the control module's power
terminals labeled Gnd and 24 Vac.
Measure the voltage at the ZN551s power input terminals to verify that
the voltage is within the operating range of 21.626.4 Vac.
Insert the screw terminal connector into the ZN551's power terminals.
Verify that the Power LED is on and the Run LED is blinking.
If the ZN551 has been wired for power, pull the screw terminal connector
from the control module's power terminals labeled Gnd and 24 Vac. The
control module reads the address each time you apply power to it.
Using the rotary switches, set the control module's address to match the
Address in the control module's Device Properties dialog box in
SiteBuilder. Set the Tens (10's) switch to the tens digit of the address,
and set the Ones (1's) switch to the ones digit.
EXAMPLE If the control modules address is 35, point the arrow on the
Tens (10's) switch to 3 and the arrow on the Ones (1's) switch to 5.

Output wiring
To size output wiring, consider the following:
Total loop distance from the power supply to the control module, and
then 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 control module to the
controlled device

To wire a room sensor to the ZN551, wire the ZN551's terminals to the
room sensor's terminals.
For an RS room sensor, wire each terminal on the ZN551's Rnet port
to the terminal of the same name on the RS room sensor.
NOTE If wiring an RS room sensor with shielded wire, connect the
shield wire to the GND terminal with the ground wire.

NOTE Current from the analog outputs can drive a 20 mA device. To use
an analog output for this purpose, you may need to add a 1/2 watt
resistor in series with the device to achieve the required total resistance
of 500 Ohms. For example, to drive a device that has 100 Ohms of
resistance, wire a 400 Ohm resistor in series with the 20 mA device to
achieve 500 Ohms resistance.

Downloading memory
Download memory to a control module to do either of the following:
The ZN551 can store one DRV_ZN module driver and one control program.
CAUTIONS
You download memory from WebCTRL. If your network is complete, you can
download from any network browser. If not complete, connect a laptop with a
local copy of the system database to the ZN551's local access port. See steps
13 of To communicate through the local access port (page 16).
To download memory
in WebCTRL
On the Network tree on the right, select the control module you want to
download to.
Click Add to add the control module to the Download Items list.
If the download fails, the control module appears in the Failures box. Since
this indicates a system problem, do not clear the failure. Locate and resolve
the problem, then retry the download. To retry, select the control module in
the Failures box, then repeat steps 4 and 5 above.
In the Num field for each point, type the number of the control module's
corresponding input or output. For example, if you use DO1 on the
ZN551 for the point Fan S/S, type 1 in the Num field for Fan S/S.
NOTE Exp (expander number) is 0 for the ZN551.
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.
NOTE You can also enter these values in EIKON for WebCTRL.
Input values
If you have not performed the initial memory download to the ZN551, you
must download now so you can verify inputs and outputs.
To verify each input's operation, force each sensor to a known value, then
compare it to the Value shown on the control program's Point Checkout
tool in WebCTRL.

The sensor reads a value and sends a corresponding signal (Volt, mA, or psi) to the
ZN551'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.
For example, set Min to 0 and Max to 10 for a 420 mA sensor that measures velocity
from 0.0 to 10.0 inches/second so that when the input reads 4 mA, the microblock
outputs a value of 0. Similarly, when the input reads 8 mA, the microblock outputs a
value of 2.5.
To set up a custom translation table, see the module driver's Custom Translation Tables
properties page in WebCTRL.

Output
The Analog Output microblock uses the Min and Max values to linearly translate its
EIKON for WebCTRL wire value into a physical output signal (Volt, mA, or psi) sent from
the ZN551 to an actuator. 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 010 Vdc actuator so that when the PID signal is 100%, the ZN551
output is 10 Vdc. Similarly, when the PID signal is 50%, the ZN551 output is 5 Vdc.
