Related materials In addition to the material presented in this application note, review and have available the following reference materials. ◆ Installation and operation guides for equipment connecting to the controller ◆ User’s manuals for Acuity, BACstage or WinControl XL Plus ◆ System drawings ◆ Installation and operation guides for equipment to which the KMC controllers will be connected Topics covered in this application note The information covered in this application note describes various methods for connecting a KMC controller—either a KMD series or BACnet model—to external equipment and devices. The examples in the illustrations show connections to a KMD–5801 controller; exact connecting points for other KMC models can be found in the installation and operation guides for those controllers. ◆ Connecting inputs on page 1-4. Active voltage inputs and passive inputs are both described in this section. ◆ Connecting outputs on page 1-8. This section includes directly connecting devices and using the HPO–6700 series output boards. ◆ Current loop inputs and outputs on page 1-11. 1–3 Connecting inputs and outputs to KMC controllers Connecting inputs KMC Controls Connecting inputs KMC Controls designed the KMD an BAC series controllers to respond to either analog or digital signals (analog and binary signals in BACnet controllers). For the exact method to program each type of input see the on-line help and the reference manual for the software in use. By using the optional pull-up resistors, either passive or active devices may be connected to the inputs. Active voltage inputs are described in the following section; see Passive inputs on page 1-5 for examples of thermistor, resistive and switch contact inputs. Active voltage source inputs This section includes examples of active voltage inputs; current inputs are described in Current loop inputs and outputs on page 1-11. Controller inputs respond to a voltage signal which can be either an analog or digital format. To connect active devices to a universal input on a KMC controller, connect the output signal from the device—typically identified as (+), Signal or Output—to the appropriate input terminal on the controller. Connect the common or ground of the device to the nearest input ground terminal. Illustration 1 and Illustration 2 are examples of input configurations for active inputs. The circuit in Illustration 1 is an input configuration suitable for signals up to 5 volts DC.

They require a voltage source that can be sensed by the controller. All KMC controllers include a pull-up resistor option which, when selected, supplies voltage to the passive device. This voltage can then be detected by the input circuit in the controller. The various models of KMC controllers use different methods to select the pull-up resistor. Table 1 lists the various methods to select pull-up resistors in controllers. For the exact method to select pull-up resistors, see the installation guide supplied with the controller.

  • Zone Control with Variable Air Volume Controls (VAV)- KMC Controls
    4/9/2014 Zone control with Variable Air Volume controls (VAV)- KMC Controls product search / > Solutions Zone control with Variable Air Volume controls (VAV) The goal of any HVAC system is to maintain a temperature within a space or zone. When the space is large, such as an Answers & Education auditorium or open factory space, the HVAC system delivers tempered supply air based on a single setpoint and space temperature. However, when the system must maintain the comfort level in several zones the problem becomes more Like 28 people like this. complex. For example, an office area system must maintain a comfortable temperature based on multiple setpoints in individual rooms. This complex problem is often solved by installing a system of variable air volume controls on branch outlets. The simplest variable air volume control (VAV) system controls air from a single supply duct and varies the airflow to each zone or room based upon the temperature in the room. A VAV system consists of four basic parts: a thermostat, a precision actuator controlled damper, an airflow sensor, and a controller. When the thermostat senses the space temperature is at the temperature setpoint, the controller closes the damper until the airflow reaches a predefined lower limit. As the room temperature moves away from setpoint, the controller opens the damper until the airflow reaches a predefined upper limit. In a typical cooling application the temperature of the air supplied air to a VAV control is 55° Fahrenheit. If the room is at the temperature setpoint, the damper in the VAV closes to minimum airflow.
