WHAT IS THE LOGICA FM CONTROL UNIT BY BEGHELLI

The Logica FM Control Unit by Beghelli (code 21102) is a device designed for the centralized control of normal and emergency lighting systems: it controls and supervises up to 992 Logica FM series luminaires via radio. The Logica FM Control Unit by Beghelli consists of:

• Keyboard + display for user operations;
• Radio interface on the 2.4GHZ-2.4835GHz band, (code 12130) DSSS “Spread Spectrum” modulation for connection to Logica FM series luminaires;
• RS485 interface for direct connection to a PC.
• RS232 interface for connection to the Logica DIN RS232 serial printer by Beghelli (code 3284).
• USB interface for software updates, backup, and restoring configuration data. – Integrated 4G LTE modem for remote connections via the Internet.
• Ethernet interface for LAN networks.
• Wi-Fi interface for PC connection.

To control the system from a remote PC, you need to get the Logica Visual software (code 12139) or the SD Manager software (code 20109).

FUNCTIONS

The Logica FM Control Unit performs the following tasks:

SYSTEM MONITORING
The Logica FM Control Unit continuously monitors the luminaires connected to it and it detects and signals any malfunctions.
SYSTEM CONTROL
The Logica FM Control Unit allows you to adjust the brightness of luminaires, perform Functional and Autonomy Tests on emergency luminaires in the system, schedule tests (date, time, and time intervals), etc.

KEEPING A LOGBOOK
The Logica FM Control Unit tracks test outcomes and, in general, any relevant operation in the system. If a printer is available (code 3284), this information can be regularly printed on paper. If a PC connection is available, this information can be sent and saved on a computer.

INSTALLATION

Use the layout below for reference to connect the Logica FM Control Unit to the Logica FM radio circuit and to the optional DIN printer (RS232 bus).
The connection with the system, using the Logica Visual or the SD Manager software, can be established through different channels:
– RS485-A;
– Ethernet;
– Modem 4G LTE integrato;
– Wifi

USE AND TERMINATION OF RS 485 LINES
The control unit is equipped with 2 independent RS 485 lines (RS485_A and RS485_B) both with an adaptation of the line impedance by inserting 2 riders at 2.54 pitch.
Line adaptation is necessary when the control unit is located as a “terminal” element of BUS 485 (start or end of the route).
To adapt the RS485_A line, insert the Jumper in connectors J22 and J23
To adapt the RS485_B line, insert the Jumper in connectors J20 and J21

OPERATIONS REQUIRED TO MAKE THE LOGICA FM CONTROL UNIT OPERATIONAL
KEYBOARD AND DISPLAY FUNCTIONS

Keys allow you to navigate through pages on the screen to view information and select operating modes.
The three main menus are LUMINAIRES, MAINTENANCE, AND STATUS;
– to move from one menu to another, use the “DOWN” and “UP”  keys
– to enter the menu and go deeper, use the “OK” key
– to return to a higher menu level, use the “ESC” key

Other functions of the keys are listed below:
Use the “DOWN” and “UP”  keys to change a value (for example, in the Date and Time Settings menu, with the hour indication “08” flashing, press  to increase the value to “09”, press to decrease the value to “07”) and press the “OK” key to confirm the entered value (by reference to the example given at the previous point: if, after changing the hour’s value to “07”, you press the key, the value will be stored on the Control Unit).
Note: If the panel is brand-new or if its memory has been reset (the Control Unit has no luminaires stored), some menus will not be visible.

TIME AND DATE SETTINGS

Apply the same method to set the year, hour and minutes. Press to confirm the value set for minutes; now the display will show “DONE”.| |

SEARCHING FOR FM LOGICA LUMINAIRES (NODE SEARCHING)
Note: Install the Control Unit and activate the wizard for luminaire searching before starting to install the luminaires. By doing so, whenever a luminaire is powered on, the  Logica FM Control Unit will detect it and will display a prompt. At the end of the installation, the counter on the Control Unit display should report the exact number of installed luminaires (if not, check for turned off or faulty luminaires).

Assuming you start from the LUMINAIRES menu: press the keys shown on the right in sequence to go to the luminaire searching menu (NODE SEARCHING).| |
---|---|---
|
|

Press to run the search| |
As soon as the Control Unit acquires the first luminaire, the display will show “NORMAL SEARCH”, which will then be replaced by the following indications:- 008(008): number of luminaires found (total number of luminaires stored in the Control Unit)| |
When the total number of luminaires stored on the Control Unit reaches the number of luminaires installed in the system, press, and this screen will appear showing how many luminaires have been found and, in parentheses, the total number of luminaires stored in the Control Unit.| |

SCHEDULING FUNCTIONAL AND AUTONOMY TESTS

Functional and Autonomy Tests check the emergency luminaires. A Functional Test consists in turning on a luminaire for about 30 seconds during which time the luminaire light source and battery efficiency are checked; an Autonomy Test consists in turning on a luminaire over a longer time at the end of which the battery efficiency is checked. If a test reveals a luminaire is faulty, this information will be transferred from the luminaire to the Logica FM Control Unit: an error message will be displayed on the screen and the error will be recorded in the Logbook.

For a correct operation of the system, the following must be set:
– Date and time of the next Functional Test;
– Date and time of the next Autonomy Test;
– The time interval between repeated Functional Tests;
– The time interval between repeated Autonomy Tests.

Example of how to set the date and time for the next Functional Test:

Assuming you start from the LUMINAIRES menu: press the keys shown on the right in sequence to go to the date&time settings menu for the next Functional Test. (“x 2” means you have to press the key twice)| |
---|---|---
|
|
|
|
Now press to show the date of the next Functional Test currently stored on the Control Unit.
To set the time of the test, proceed as shown in the section “Date and Time Settings”.| |

GROUPS

Luminaires connected to each Logica Control Unit by Beghelli can be divided into groups to perform separate operations on system sections. Each luminaire can belong to a  group, multiple groups, or no group. The total number of groups available is 16.
ASSIGNING A LUMINAIRE TO A GROUP

Assuming you start from the LUMINAIRES menu: press the keys shown on the right in sequence to go to the menu to set the group of the first luminaire on the list

**** (“x 4” means you have to press the key four times)

Press and the following screen will appear on the display. The line below the name of the luminaire indicates whether it belongs to one of the sixteen groups or not: the first digit on the left refers to group 1, and the last digit on the right refers to group 16:
– 0: the luminaire does not belong to the group
–  1: the luminaire belongs to the group
Before the first configuration, the row has sixteen ‘0’,i.e. the luminaire F12345  does not belong to any group; the cursor will flash on the last zero to the left that corresponds to group 1.Press:
–  B to move to the next group
–  A to move to the previous group
– To include the luminaire in the group
– To exclude the luminaire from the group| |

MENU
The system is organized in menus that allow you to access varied features of the system: turn luminaires on and off, perform Functional and Autonomy Tests, review information on malfunctions, etc.
To understand how to navigate among screens using the keys, see section “Keyboard and Display Functions”.
Most operations available can be applied to the entire system or to parts of it, as shown in the following table:

There are 3 menus: LUMINAIRES, MAINTENANCE AND STATUS.
LUMINAIRES MENU
Use this menu to adjust the brightness of the luminaires:

| go to (menu):
---|---
for a maximum brightness level| ON (MAX)
to turn them off| TO TURN THEM OFF
for an intermediate brightness level (e.g. level 5)| DIMMER STEP 05

MAINTENANCE MENU

MANUAL TEST
Functional and Autonomy Tests check the emergency luminaires. A Functional Test consists in turning on a luminaire for about 30 seconds during which time the luminaire use and battery efficiency are checked; an Autonomy Test consists in turning on a luminaire over a longer time at the end of which the battery efficiency is checked.
Normally, Functional and Autonomy Tests are run automatically at regular intervals according to the schedule set by the user (see Scheduling Functional and Autonomy Tests”),  but it is also possible to perform a Functional Test or an Autonomy Test directly from the keyboard: Manual Test. Manual Tests stop at the end of the set time or by sending a stop test command.

Manual Tests will not change the time intervals and durations set for automatic tests.
Use the MANUAL TEST menu to perform operations described in the following table:

run an unlimited time test that will stop when the battery is completely discharged| ON INDEFINITELY
an Autonomy Test of 1 hour| 1 h AUTONOMY TEST
stop any test| STOP TEST

EMERGENCY
Note: Commands in the EMERGENCY menu will only affect luminaires that are not powered from the mains, i.e. they are lit in a state of emergency. When power from the mains to a luminaire is cut off, the luminaire will turn on and run on the battery supply. As long as its battery still has energy stored, a luminaire can be sent the following commands:
– Disable the state of emergency: the luminaire turns off; it can be turned back on by enabling the state of emergency.
– Enable the state of emergency: the luminaire turns on
– Turn off: the luminaire is turned off permanently; it cannot be turned back on unless the luminaire itself detects power being fed from the mains. This feature can be useful to preserve battery power when, for instance, the power supply to the system needs to be cut off for a long period.

MANAGEMENT TEST
This menu allows you to set:
– Date and time of the next Functional Test;
– Date and time of the next Autonomy Test;
– The time interval between repeated Functional Tests;
– The time interval between repeated Autonomy Tests.

For further details on how to set test dates, times, and time intervals, see section “Scheduling Functional and Autonomy Tests”.
Based on their unique identifying addresses, LOGICA luminaires are divided into EVEN-numbered and ODD-numbered luminaires. Using the EVEN-ODD TEST menu, you can decide whether to perform an autonomy test on all luminaires simultaneously or first on the odd-numbered luminaires, then, 7 days later, on the even-numbered luminaires.

Printing
Note: Printing will be available if the Logica FM Control Unit is connected to a Logica DIN RS232 serial printer by Beghelli (code 3284).
The following data can be printed:
– Configuration: List of installed luminaires and their characteristics (model, even/odd-numbered, 1hr/3hrs autonomy, etc.).
– Scheduling: Timetables for Functional and Autonomy Tests, time intervals for testing, staggered testing on odd- and even-numbered luminaires.
– Errors: For each faulty luminaire, a warning is given that specifies the type of fault (e.g. 8W neon tube error, battery charging error, etc.).
– Reports: For this menu, you must enter a start date and an end date for the report. The printout will list significant actions that occurred over the set time frame involving the Logica  Control Units by Beghelli installed in the system. The printout will report the start time and the end time of Functional or Autonomy Tests performed, be they manual or automatic tests, and a list of faulty luminaires.

The following controls are available in the PRINT menu:
