Mediator/Johnson N1 Device
Configuration Manual
1.
Overview
This document describes how to connect a Mediator to a Johnson NCM 350, NCM 300 or NCM 200 device and configure the Mediator to access the information from the Johnson N1 primary network. The Mediators implementation of the Johnson N1 protocol driver allows the Mediator to transfer data to and from a Johnson NCM network over a single RS-232 connection. The Johnson Controls NCM (Network Control Module) 350 is a Supervisory Interface (SI) device that provides control and communications for controllers connected to a secondary (N2) network. The NCM 350 can be connected to Ethernet IP or ARCNET N1 primary networks. The NCM300 can only be used with ARCNET N1 primary networks.
1.1
Audience
This document is intended for installers and system administrators of Envenergy Mediator systems. It assumes that you are experienced and knowledgeable in the setup and configuration of networks, especially TCP/IP networking in an enterprise Information Technology (IT) environment. You should be familiar with the Windows Operating System. Familiarity with the Linux Operating System is helpful but not required.

Hardware Connection
The Mediator is physically connected to the Johnson NCM by means of an RS-232 null modem cable. The cable can be connected to either of the Mediators DB-9 RS-232 ports (labeled Com 1 and Com 2) and one of the Johnson NCMs RS-232 ports. Note: The NCMs Port 3 is preferred; Port 5 and 6 are also acceptable.
The RS-232 port on the Johnson NCM must be designated an Unconfigured Work Station port through the Johnson Operator Work Station (OWS) software.
2.1
Typical System Diagrams
The Mediator is capable of operating in many different system architectures based on the Johnson N1 system. The diagrams in this section represent several typical installation architectures. Figure 1 shows the architecture of a system in a building that has only one Johnson NCM. The Mediator is connected to the NCM through an RS-232 null modem connection and to an Ethernet network through its built-in Ethernet port. Figure 2 shows the architecture of a system in a building or campus with multiple Johnson NCMs. The NCM devices are connected to an Ethernet network that is reserved for the building system. The Mediator connects directly to one NCM in the system via RS-232. It can exchange information with any of the other NCMs through the Ethernet connection.. The Mediator is also connected to a separate Ethernet network that allows communication with the office LAN (and possibly with the Internet). Figure 3 shows the architecture of a system similar to the one in Figure 2, except that there is only one Ethernet network in the building, which supports communication for both the office information and the building system.

Johnson System Configuration Information
Table 1 indicates the information about the Johnson N1 system configuration that must be available to configure the Mediator to access point values. This information can be accessed from the Johnson Operator Work Station (OWS). If access to the Johnson OWS is not available, this information must be obtained from another source, such as the Facilities Manager, the Johnson Controls Installer, or similar party with knowledge of the system configuration.
Table 1. Johnson N1 Configuration Information

Required Information Information about the NCM connected directly to the Mediator. Name NCM Gate Description Set to 1 for ARCNET or same as NCM Node for Ethernet/standalone. The NCMs address (usually the last octet of the IP address). An entity that contains a value reflecting calculated or measured data as one of its members. A collection of objects controlled by a particular NCM; must be unique on the network. Same as NCM Gate described above, but indicates the Gate of the NCM where the point resides (not necessarily the NCM connected to the Mediator). Defines an objects class (Analog Data, Binary Output, etc.). Same as NCM Node described above, but indicates the Node of the NCM where the point resides (not necessarily the NCM connected directly to the Mediator).

Mediator Configuration
The following procedure describes how to use the Mediator Configuration Tool to configure the Mediator to communicate with the Johnson N1 network.
3.1
Overview of the Mediator Configuration Tool
The Mediator Configuration Tool is an interactive, menu-driven software application that allows you to configure a Mediator host, including setting the network connection parameters and specifying the operating parameters of data points, devices, and systems connected to the Mediator. The Configuration Tool software is distributed on CDROM and is installed on a PC that is networked with the Mediator. You use the Configuration Tool to set the Mediators network parameters and to configure the objects within the system that handles information. In Mediator terminology, these objects are referred to as nodes. A node is a named entity that exchanges information with other nodes (for example, a port, a Modbus line handler, a point, etc.), or supports the exchange of information (for example, the HTTP service). Nodes are used to represent the relationships between objects in the system. Like the Mediator Framework software, the Configuration Tool groups nodes into three main categories: Interfaces: Interface nodes include the sensors and devices connected to the Mediator. Aliases: Alias nodes are used to assign alternative names to other nodes. Aliases allow users to assign a meaningful name to any node in the system. For example, you could assign the alias Computer Room Temperature to a specific temperature sensor in the system. Services: Service nodes perform an action (for example, the Logger, network services such as the HTTP Server, etc.).
When you select a Mediator host to configure, the Configuration Tool displays a set of default nodes appropriate to the selected host, and provides the configuration options appropriate to each node. When you finish specifying the hosts configuration parameters, the Configuration Tool produces a Configuration File, an XML file that describes the system configuration. At system startup, the Mediator Framework parses the Configuration File and uses the information it contains to dynamically assemble a running system on the Mediator.
