For larger applications, the DCX may also be networked with other DCX controllers and expansion boards. The DCX is a multi-purpose programmable microcontroller designed to offer customized, flexible distributed control for refrigeration and HVAC applications in a low-cost package. The DCX control unit combines the capabilities of a central refrigeration or HVAC controller with built-in analog and digital inputs and outputs, allowing it to handle most small control P/N Model The DCX is sold in three models: the DCX-S (small), the DCX-M (medium), and the DCX-L (large). Each model is practically identical except for the maximum amounts of inputs and outputs. In addition, each model may be ordered with either a 4x20 character LCD display or with no display. Table 1-1 shows the DCX models available and the maximum number of analog and digital inputs and outputs each model provides.

DCX Expandibility a CSx Convenience Store Controller would receive a DCX control unit with the CSx application software loaded into the DCX’s memory. Hardware-wise, the CSx unit would be identical to every other DCX-based application offered by CPC. The characteristics unique to the CSx would be its capabilities and the configuration of its input and output points. If a site application requires more input and output points than a single DCX can provide, a DCX-L control unit may be networked with up to four expansion boards. Each expansion board provides an additional 8 temperature sensor inputs, 8 digital inputs, and 8 relay outputs. Expansion boards are networked together using an RS485 serial network. 1.3. 1.2. All DCX-based controllers purchased from CPC will come with a set of user documents: DCX Software Software for the DCX is custom written by CPC for specific controls applications. Typically, the DCX is ordered as a specific controller type and shipped with the appropriate software pre-loaded. For example, a customer who orders DCX Expandibility • DCX Documentation DCX Installation and Operation Guide (this manual) - The DCX Installation and Operation Guide covers the basics of setting up the DCX hardware, including mounting, sensor wiring, and expansion board networking.

DCX Expansion Board CPC offers a single generic "bullet" style sensor (P/N 501-1202) for general use in temperature monitoring and control applications. The sensor is a 10K thermistor sealed in waterresistant neoprene rubber. It may be mounted as an ambient air sensor, in ducts or air streams for use as a discharge or return air sensor, or for several other uses. TE LE SO OB The DCX Expansion Board (P/N 818-0505) networks with a DCX control unit and adds 8 digital inputs, 8 analog inputs, and 8 relay outputs to the total number of I/O points the DCX has access to. Up to four DCX Expansion Boards can be networked with a DCX. Bullet Sensors 2.3. Sensors and Transducers 2.3.2. Product Simulators 2.3.3. Pressure Transducers NOTE: The DCX is not compatible with most standard sensors and transducers supplied with CPC REFLECS and Einstein systems. Use ONLY sensors and transducers listed in this section with DCX systems. The DCX control system has three different models of pressure transducers for use in refrigeration applications. Table 2-1 lists the transducers available. CPC offers a wide range of ambient temperature, product temperature, relative humidity, and other types of input devices. 800-0010 Pressure Transducer, 0-100 PSI 2.3.1. Temperature Sensors 800-0015 Pressure Transducer, 0-362 PSI 800-0020 Pressure Transducer, 0-435 PSI The DCX uses several different models of temperature sensors for a number of different applications. All DCX-compatible temperature sensors are NTC 10k thermistors, and may be connected to any universal analog inputs (B1-B3 and B6-B8 on the DCX) and any passive analog inputs (B4, B5, B9, and B10 on the DCX, and B1-B8 on the Expansion Board). 2.3.1.1. Space Temperature/Humidity Sensor CPC offers a combination space temperature/RH sensor (P/N 501-1210) provided in a wall-mount enclosure. This sensor can be used to measure both temperature and humidity, or only one of the two. The humidity and temperature leads are separate and must be connected to different universal analog outputs on the DCX (B1-B3 and B6-B8).

Sensors and Transducers DCX Hardware Overview • 2-3 TE LE SO OB 3 Hardware Mounting TE LE SO OB 3.1. DCX Mounting The DCX is designed to be mounted on a standard DIN rail. The DCX-S requires 13 DIN modules, and the DCX-M and DCX-L requires 18 DIN modules. To mount, press the back of the unit against the DIN rail to snap it into place. To remove the unit from the DIN rail, use a screwdriver to lift the tabs at the bottom of the unit. Mounting dimensions are shown in Figure 3-1. 3.1.1. Environmental Conditions The DCX must be mounted in an environment with an ambient temperature between 32— 122°F (0—50°C). If the DCX does not have a display terminal, the ambient temperature may be between 14—140°F (-10—60°C). In either case, the relative humidity must be below 90%, non-condensing. Additionally, avoid installing the DCX in an operating environment with any of the following characteristics: • strong vibrations or bumps • exposure to continuous jets of water • exposure to aggressive and polluting environments (e.g. sulphuric and ammoniac gases, saline mists, fumes) with consequent corrosion or oxidation Figure 3-1 - DCX Mounting Dimensions 3.2. DCX Expansion Board The DCX Expansion Board is typically mounted in the same location or enclosure as the DCX, but may also be mounted remotely to shorten I/O device wire lengths. The Expansion Board comes with a set of fasteners and metal stand-offs for mounting in a panel or wall. Refer to the dimensions in Figure 3-2 when mounting the board. • high levels of magnetic and/or radio frequency interference • exposure to direct sunlight • large and rapid fluctuations in temperature • environments where explosive or flammable gases are present • exposure to excessive dust DCX Mounting Hardware Mounting • 3-1 3.2.1. Environmental Conditions 3.3. Sensors and Transducers TE LE SO OB The DCX Expansion Board must be mounted in an environment with an ambient temperature between 14—131°F (-10—55°C), with a relative humidity below 90%, non-condensing. 3.3.1. Space Temperature/Humidity Sensor Space temperature and space humidity sensor enclosures should be mounted in a central location —within the zone to be measured— away from doors, windows, vents, heaters, and outside walls that could affect temperature or humidity readings. The sensor should be between 4 and 6 feet from the floor. To mount the sensor, use a screwdriver to press in the tab on the left side of the sensor enclosure, and lift the cover off the enclosure. Use the two mounting holes on the back panel to screw the sensor enclosure onto a flat surface. Dimensions of the enclosure and the mounting holes are given in Figure 3-3. Figure 3-3 - Space Temperature/Humidity Sensor Mounting 3.3.2. Bullet Sensors Figure 3-2 - DCX Expansion Board Mounting 3-2 • DCX Installation and Operation Manual The mounting and placement of bullet sensors will depend on their intended use. There are no specific restrictions for sensor use. 026-1901 Rev 0 12-11-00 3.4. Pressure Transducers TE LE SO OB 3.4.1. Mounting CPC does not supply mounting hardware with the light level sensor. The sensor should be mounted horizontally through the knockout of a standard weather-resistant junction box. Figure 3-4 shows a typical mounting configuration. The fitting on the DCX Pressure Transducer is 1/4" female NPT. If the access fitting is configured with a Schrader valve or a 1/4" female port, this must be replaced with a 1/4" male fitting in order to support connection to the DCX Pressure Transducer. Wrap the threads of the male access fitting with Teflon tape to ensure a tight seal. Screw the transducer onto the access valve. Tighten with a wrench on the hex nut. Do NOT use the transducer casing to apply torque. 3.5. Power Monitoring Devices The CPC Power Transducer is designed to mount on a standard DIN rail. Press the rear of the transducer enclosure against the DIN rail until it snaps into place. Figure 3-4 - Light Level Sensor Mounting Instructions for mounting, placement, and wiring of the transducer’s current transformers are provided in the installation instructions provided with the CPC Power Transducer. 3.6. Light Level Sensors The Light Level Sensor should be mounted facing north, for locations in the northern hemisphere, away from direct sunlight. For locations in the southern hemisphere, the Light Level Sensor should be mounted facing south.

Powering the DCX Unit All three models of the DCX unit require a 24VAC non-center-tapped Class 2 power supply, rated to at least 50VA. CPC supplies two 50VA transformers for use with powering the DCX unit: one for use with 110VAC ( P/N 640-0041) and one for use with220VAC ( P/N 640-0042). Table 4-1 lists the non-center-tapped transformers currently offered by CPC. Wire the transformer’s secondary to the G and G0 terminals, located on the bottom left side of the unit as shown in Figure 4-1. Make sure the earth ground is connected to terminal G0. NOTE: Several of the DCX’s digital inputs require a 24VAC supply in order to operate. You may wish to connect the 24VAC secondary to a terminal strip so that digital inputs can use the DCX’s power source. Table 4-1 - Transformers Compatible with the DCX and DCX Expansion Board 4.2. Powering the DCX Expansion Board The DCX Expansion Board requires a 24VAC non-center-tapped Class 2 power supply, rated to at least 50VA. Table 4-1 lists all transformers available from CPC that may be used to power a DCX Expansion Board. Wire the transformer’s secondary to the G and G0 terminals (J17), located on the bottom left side of the board as shown in Figure 4-2. Make sure the earth ground is connected to terminal G0.

TE LE SO OB Expansion Board Networking The state of digital inputs AD0 and AD1 on terminal block J3 determine the board’s network number. Each possible ON/OFF combination of these two inputs corresponds to a number from one to four (see Table 4-2). A single DCX-L unit may network with up to four DCX Expansion Boards. Expansion boards are wired in a daisy chain beginning at terminal J23 on the DCX-L and extending to each of the expansion boards, as shown in - DCX Expansion Board Networking and Wiring on page 2. Use Belden 8641 two-conductor shielded cable for networking. Use one wire to interconnect all "+" terminals and the other to interconnect all "-" terminals. Connect the bare SHIELD wire to the GND terminals.

The terminal block’s common terminal, IDCM2, must also be connected to the ground side of the power supply (G0). Refer to Figure 4-4. Figure 4-4 - Wiring AD0 and AD1 To Set Board Number 4.3.1. Expansion Board Numbering If more than one DCX Expansion Board is being used by a DCX-L, the boards must be given unique network address numbers. Expansion boards must be addressed with a board number from 2 to 5 (the DCX itself is considered "Board 1." The network address allows the DCX to recognize and communicate with each DCX Expansion Board. 4-2 • DCX Installation and Operation Manual 026-1901 Rev 0 12-11-00 5 Input and Output Setup TE LE SO OB The controller will be shipped with an I/O Configuration Sheet that shows all the inputs and outputs for the DCX and its expansion boards, and which input or output points each device should be connected to. Refer to this sheet when wiring inputs and outputs, and refer to this manual for wiring instructions for each of the possible sensor types. A DCX-based controller is shipped with its inputs and outputs pre-configured, tailored to your specific site configuration. That means you will not have to specify the location of inputs and outputs in the system software. 5.1. Temperature Sensors Figure 5-1 - Temperature Sensor Wiring All temperature sensing devices for the DCX, except the combination Space Temp/ Space Humidity Sensor, have two-wire input point connections, as shown in Figure 5-1. One of these wires must be connected to an analog input point (B1-B10 on the DCX, or B1-B8 on the DCX Expansion Board). The other wire must be connected to a common terminal for the analog input terminal block.

To wire inputs such as door switches, clean switches, or thermostats to these digital inputs, they must be wired in such as way as to provide a 24VAC or 24VDC signal when CLOSED. Figure 5-6 - Dry Contact Digital Input Sensor Wiring A dry contact digital input is defined as any ON/OFF input that carries no voltage or current. An example of this might be a relay or switch that simply opens or closes a circuit loop (such as a defrost termination sensor or override switch). Dry Contact Digital Inputs Figure 5-7 and Figure 5-8 show how to wire digital input devices to24VAC and 24VDC inputs. For 24VAC devices, the power supply for the DCX or the DCX Expansion Board may be used to provide the signal voltage. For 24VDC devices, a separate 24VDC power supply must be used.

To use the analog outputs, you must make a connection to the signal and ground terminals of the analog output point and supply 24VAC or 24VDC to the output terminals (as shown in Figure 5-11).

Table 5-9 - DCX Analog Output Wiring Connecting the Digital (Relay) Outputs 5.10. Connecting the Digital (Relay) Outputs The DCX and the DCX expansion boards have electromechanical digital relay outputs, each of which is rated to a maximum of 8 amps. Supply voltage for relay outputs may be 24VAC or any voltage between 110VAC and230VAC. 5.10.1.Relay Supply Voltage Each relay output terminal block on the DCX (J12-J18, J21-J22) and the DCX Expansion Board (J5, J6, J22, and J24) must use the same supply voltage source for all its relays, due to the fact the line voltage for all relays on a terminal block are supplied from the same terminal. For example, in Figure 5-12, terminal block J12 has a common terminal (C1) that connects to an AC power source. All terminals on J12 (NO1, NO2, and NO3) will use this same power source. Input and Output Setup • 5-13 wired as either Normally Open or Normally Closed (N.C.). Contacts that may be wired as either N.O. or N.C. consist of three terminals: a common (C) terminal where the supply voltage is connected, an NO terminal for normally open connection, and an NC terminal for normally closed connection. The output device must be connected to either the NO or the NC relay, depending on whether you want the relay CLOSED or OPEN during power outages. TE LE SO OB If other terminal blocks will use the same power source, you can jumper their common terminals together, as shown in Figure 5-12, where terminal C1 of J12 is jumpered to C4 of terminal J13. 5.10.2.Relay Contact Wiring Though all digital outputs use the same type of relays, there are two different types of relay contacts. Some relay contacts may only be wired as Normally Open (N.O.), while some may be Figure 5-12 - DCX Relay Output Wiring Table 5-10 lists the relay analog inputs on the DCX and DCX Expansion Board, and where each output lead should be connected based on the point listed on your I/O Configuration Sheet, as well as which common terminals should be connected to a 24VAC or 110-230VAC power source. 5-14 • DCX Installation and Operation Manual 026-1901 Rev 0 12-11-00 Wire One Output Lead To: Wire Other Output Lead To: Wire 24VAC or 110-230VAC to: TE LE SO OB Point on I/O Config Sheet DCX CONTROL UNIT NO1 J12-NO1 24VAC or 110-230VAC NEUTRAL NO2 J12-NO2 24VAC or 110-230VAC NEUTRAL NO3 J12-NO3 24VAC or 110-230VAC NEUTRAL NO4 J13-NO4 24VAC or 110-230VAC NEUTRAL NO5 J13-NO5 24VAC or 110-230VAC NEUTRAL NO6 J13-NO6 24VAC or 110-230VAC NEUTRAL NO7 J14-NO7 24VAC or 110-230VAC NEUTRAL J14-C7 NO8 NC8 J15-NO8 J15-NC8 24VAC or 110-230VAC NEUTRAL J15-C8 NO9 J16-NO9 24VAC or 110-230VAC NEUTRAL J16-C9 NO10 J16-NO10 24VAC or 110-230VAC NEUTRAL NO11 J16-NO11 24VAC or 110-230VAC NEUTRAL NO12/NC12 J17-NO12/NC12 24VAC or 110-230VAC NEUTRAL J17-C12 NO13/NC13 J18-NO13/NC13 24VAC or 110-230VAC NEUTRAL J18-C13 NO14/NC14 J21-NO14/NC14 24VAC or 110-230VAC NEUTRAL J21-C14 NO15/NC15 NO15/NC15 24VAC or 110-230VAC NEUTRAL J21-C15 NO16 NO16 24VAC or 110-230VAC NEUTRAL J22-C16 NO17 NO17 24VAC or 110-230VAC NEUTRAL NO18 NO18 24VAC or 110-230VAC NEUTRAL J12-C1 J13-C4 DCX Expansion Board NO1/NC1 NO1/NC1 24VAC or 110-230VAC NEUTRAL J5-C1 NO2/NC2 NO2/NC2 24VAC or 110-230VAC NEUTRAL J6-C2 NO3/NC3 NO3/NC3 24VAC or 110-230VAC NEUTRAL J6-C3 NO4/NC4 NO4/NC4 24VAC or 110-230VAC NEUTRAL J24-C4 NO5/NC5 NO5/NC5 24VAC or 110-230VAC NEUTRAL J24-C5 NO6/NC6 NO6/NC6 24VAC or 110-230VAC NEUTRAL J24-C6 NO7/NC7 NO7/NC7 24VAC or 110-230VAC NEUTRAL J22-C7 NO8/NC8 NO8/NC8 24VAC or 110-230VAC NEUTRAL J22-C8 Table 5-10 - Point Wiring for 24VAC/VDC Digital Inputs Connecting the Digital (Relay) Outputs Input and Output Setup • 5-15 TE LE SO OB 6 Supervisory System Setup TE LE SO OB the Supervisory System software, and a special key which plugs in to the 25-pin serial port on the PC that will run the software. See Figure 61. A supervisory system is a software program that runs on a PC, which is capable of remote communication with one or more DCX-based controllers. A supervisory system allows users to program controllers and override control functions using an easy-to-use Windows interface. A supervisory system may also be used to collect alarm dial-outs from one or more modemenabled DCX sites. Supervisory system programs are custom made to work with only one specific type of DCX-based control software. In other words, CSX Supervisory System software can only communicate with CSX C-Store Controllers, etc. 6.1. Figure 6-1 - Overview of RS485 On-Site Supervisory System 6.1.1.1. Wiring the RS485 Cable Supervisory System Hardware Configuration A DCX can interface with a supervisory system in either of two ways. A DCX-based controller can be directly connected via RS485 cable to an on-site desktop PC or touchscreen running the supervisory system software. Or, the DCX can be configured with a modem and phone line, and the supervisory system can use the PC’s modem to connect with the DCX from off-site. 6.1.1. On-Site DCX to PC Configuration On-site connection of a DCX to a Supervisory System PC requires an RS485 expansion card installed into the "SERIAL CARD" port on the DCX control unit. For an on-site configuration, CPC supplies a kit which includes the RS485 card, an RS485-to-serial interface box, Supervisory System Hardware Configuration Figure 6-2 - RS485 Cable Wiring for Supervisory System Using an approved RS485 communication cable (Belden 8641 or equivalent), connect the DCX’s RS485 network card to the converter box as shown in Figure 6-2. The Rx+/Tx+ terminal on the network card connector should be connected to the Rx+/Tx+ terminal on the converter box. Likewise, the two Rx-/Tx- should be interconnected. Use the cable shield wire to connect the two GND terminals. Supervisory System Setup • 6-1 Termination 6.1.2. Modem Communication Enabling Supervisory System communication via modem requires both the DCX and the Supervisory System to have access to a modem and phone line. The kit supplied with the Supervisory Software for modem connection consists of only the RS232 Serial Card, the Supervisory System Key, and the software diskettes. All modems and serial cables must be supplied by the customer. TE LE SO OB Both ends of the RS485 cable, starting with the Converter Box and ending with the last device on the chain, must be terminated with a 120-ohm resistor. The Converter Box is already terminated, so you do not need to connect a resistor to that end of the cable. Locate the device at the end of the network opposite the Converter box, and place a 120ohm, 1/4 W resistor in parallel with the Rx+/Tx+ and Rx-/Tx- minus terminals, as shown in Figure 6-3. Figure 6-3 - RS485 Supervisory System Network Termination Figure 6-4 - DCX Supervisory System Modem Configuration 6.1.1.2. 6.1.2.1. Powering the Converter Box The Converter Box requires power in order to operate. The kit supplied with the Supervisory System software will include a plug-in DC adapter. Plug the adapter into a 110VAC outlet, and connect the DC adapter plug to the converter box’s POWER jack. 6.1.1.3. Connecting the Converter Box to the PC Connecting the converter box to the PC requires at least one free 9-pin serial port on the PC. Alternately, if a 25-pin serial port is available on the PC, the cable can be connected there using a 9-to-25 pin adapter. 6.1.1.4. Connecting the Supervisory System Key to the PC Wiring the Modem to the DCX The RS232 Serial Card has a standard 9-pin connector compatible with standard store-bought serial cables. Connect the serial cable to the modem and the RS232 port on the DCX. Consult the modem documentation for information on how to power the modem and how to connect the modem to a phone line. 6.1.2.2. Connecting the Supervisory System Key to the PC The Supervisory System Key must be plugged into a 25-pin parallel port on the PC that will be running the software. The software checks for this key at start-up, and will not function if the key is not present. The Supervisory System Key must be plugged into a parallel port on the PC that will be running the software. The software checks for this key at start-up, and will not function if the key is not present. 6-2 • DCX Installation and Operation Manual 026-1901 Rev 0 12-11-00 6.1.3. Continuing Supervisory System Setup TE LE SO OB After the hardware is set up, both the DCX and the PC with the Supervisory System software must be further configured with certain parameters that will allow it to communicate. Because the software is different for each DCXbased controller version, information about setting up the software in both the controller and the PC are covered in the controller’s programming guide.
