For the items not described here, please refer to the literatures shown below. LM ADAPTER installation work : "Installation Manual of LM ADAPTER"...
2. Product Outline 2.1 Outline and features The LM ADAPTER is a communication interface to connect the Mitsubishi Electric made products for M-NET use with the LONWORKS network. Only one LM ADAPTER can control and monitor indoor units up to 50 sets.
2.2 List of products The air conditioners controllable with LM ADAPTER are shown below. Model name Objective models for control LMAP03U CITY MULTI, LOSSNAY 2.3 Function The basic functions of LM ADAPTER are outlined as below. Items Details Emergency stop Stopping all air conditioners.
2.4 Specification (1) Product specification Items Specification Dimension 340mm(Height) x 360mm(Width) x 59.6mm(Depth) 13 7/16(Height) x 14 3/16(Width) x 2 3/8(Depth) in Weight 3.4 kg / 7 ½ lb Power source 208 – 230V (60Hz) Power consumption 10 W Data holding Memorizing binding information, address information on air conditioners and set values in nonvolatile memory.
3. System Design Flow The following indicates design flow to construct the system of the LONWORKS network by LM ADAPTER. Step 1: Selecting the air conditioners (objective equipment for control, restrictions, etc.). Step 3: Selecting the system control parts (Quantity of LM ADAPTER, other system controllers, etc.). Step 4: Determining the air conditioner addresses.
4. Designing the LMAP03U This section summarizes the air conditioners controllable with LM ADAPTER and various restrictions to be applied. For the details of air conditioning equipment, please refer to the manual of each air conditioner. 4.1 Selecting the air conditioners 4.1.1 Controllable quantity...

4.3 Selecting the system control parts Using the system controller (SC) together other than LM ADAPTER allows connecting operation. Some rules to be observed for this purpose are introduced below. 4.3.1 Master controller and slave controller When LM ADAPTER is used together with other system controller inside a system under own control, it is essential to set a slave SC(requiring a DIP-SW change).
Page 16
4.3.2 Local remote controller The local remote controller includes ME remote controller (PAR-F27MEA, etc.) to be connected to the M-NET indoor-outdoor transmission line of air conditioners and MA remote controller (PAR-20MAA, etc.) to be connected to each indoor unit. Each remote controller provides a different function usable by LM ADAPTER and a different system construction method.
With SC LMAP02-E Not required Required LMAP03U 4.4 Object 4.4.1 Network variables and objects The network variables provided allows the LA ADAPTER to operate/monitor plural equipment (indoor unit, LOSSNAY, etc.) The functional profile (object) represents the network variables collected for each objective equipment to be controlled.
Page 18
(2) Object and equipment address The object for indoor units is individually related with the objective equipment for control. The object (Indoor [1] ~ Indoor [50]) corresponds to the indoor unit (LOSSNAY, ventilation unit, Mr. SLIM) with the M-NET address of 01 ~ 50 being set to each equipment. Outdoor unit M-NET centralized control transmission line...
4.5 Restrictions on system configuration The restrictions in constructing the system by LM ADAPTER are outlined here. 4.5.1 Restrictions by system configuration (1) Group control In the case when the group setting of indoor units are carried out by the local remote controller or system controller, the operation from the BMS is performed as follows.
Page 20
(2) Emergency stop The emergency stopping of LM ADAPTER stops all air conditioners together, however it does not set the operation prohibit of the local remote controller allowing the operation from other system controller or local remote controller. To prohibit operation from the local remote controller, therefore, set it by entering [Request Collective Local Prohibit] (collective).
5. Design and Operation of LONWORKS System This section introduces the mechanism, function and operating method of LM ADAPTER in configuring the system of LONWORKS network by LM ADAPTER. As the operating method shown here represents just one of the examples, you are kindly requested to carry out your designing to meet the system configuration or operation in the actual system.
5.2 Function relating to installing (1) Service pin (Service switch) The service pin is used at the installation of LONWORKS network. Pressing the service pin sends out the service pin-message (control message including Neuron ID and Program ID) to the network. (2) Service LED The service ID indicates the present state of the product.
5.3 Operation at power recovery 5.3.1 Outline of LM ADAPTER operation After the power source is applied (the same as the power recovery after instantaneous power stop/power failure), LM ADAPTER requires a time for initialization to collect the connection and operation state of air conditioners up to 50 sets to be controlled.
Page 24
5.3.2 Setting relating to operation after power recovery (1) Setting of Neuron Chip communication start time The communication start timing of NC can be set through “Communication Timing 【nciSet_1】”. ① "initialize" Upon completion of the connection between LM ADAPTER and air conditioner, NCstartsoperation. Up to this time, NC will not reply (even without returning of Ack).
Page 25
(3) Setting to match images The state of an air conditioner before power failure and after power recovery may differ sometimes . In such case, the operation state of the air conditioner held by the BMS differs from the actual operation state of the air conditioner.
Page 26
② Setting for plural unit installation When conducting initial output by installing plural LM ADAPTERs on a same system, stagger the start time of the initial output in setting to avoid the concentration of each output. Power ON LMAP power source Initialize Start Time LMAP_001 Initialize Start Time...
5.4 Response restrictions on Poll (Fetch) demand Upon receipt of Poll (Fetch) demand from the BMS, LM ADAPTER responses with the latest value of the corresponding variable. As the operation status being held will be responded at power shutdown due to air conditioner inspection or communication error caused by the disconnection of M-NET transmission line, the error cannot be judged by the BMS.
5.5 Operation/setting of air conditioner 5.5.1 Operation/setting method ADAPTER For the operation/setting of air conditioners, please renew Indoor [1] the value of the input variable of LM ADAPTER. nvi1 nvi2 nvo1 Renewal of input variable Operating/setting method of air conditioners 5.5.2 Function requiring periodical renewal (Receive Heartbeat, Effective Time) When setting cannot be cancelled by the local side at the communication error caused by some reason from the BMS side, a function is available to cancel the setting when the communication from the BMS side pauses...
Page 29
5.5.3 Function allowing operating/setting at local side When using a remote controller together to operate air conditioners locally by user, the same function can be operated/set at both the master system side and the local side. In this case, the "Priority is given to the later pressing"...
5.6 State monitoring 5.6.1 State monitoring method The method to monitor the operation state of air conditioners from the BMS via LM ADAPTER can roughly be classified into two systems, namely (1) Event driven system and (2) Polling system. The configuration property for setting differs depending on the systems.
Page 31
5.6.2 Setting of periodical state notification (Send Heartbeat) Purpose In the case of the event driven system, there is no chance to renew the state until facing the next event generation if an unexpected omitting was incurred carelessly. During this time, the air conditioner status being held by the BMS and that of the actual are different.
5.7 Measurement (Analog value) 5.7.1 Measuring method The same as the state output of air conditioners, the state will be informed from LM ADAPTER at state change or periodically. 5.7.2 Condition setting for state output Condition setting of output at changing Setting of periodic state notification Purpose As the analog value such as the room temperature...
5.8 Trouble/alarm monitoring The trouble/alarm that can be monitored with LM ⑤ ADAPTER can mainly be classified as follows. (Note: It differs depending on the types of LM ADAPTER) LONWORKS network ① Trouble of equipment such as air conditioners and ④...
(3) Resetting of trouble/alarm The resetting method differs depending on the equipment generating trouble/alarm. Trouble of indoor unit Switches over the indoor unit in trouble from [Run] to [Stop]. Trouble of outdoor unit Switchovers all indoor units in the refrigerant system from [Run] to [Stop]. 5.8.2 Health check of LM ADAPTER - - - ④,⑤...
