quick reference for field personnel. This document covers:
• Designing and Planning the ZFR1800 Series Wireless Field Bus System
• Installing the ZFR1800 Series Wireless Field Bus System
• Commissioning the ZFR1800 Series Wireless Field Bus System
• Balancing the System
For detailed information on specific topics, refer to the resources in Related

Designing and Planning the ZFR1800 Series Wireless
Field Bus System
Ensure that the system is well designed with good line-of-sight communication
paths and distances, according to the guidelines in the ZFR1800 Series Wireless
Field Bus System Technical Bulletin (LIT-12011295).
One ZFR1811 router is required per field controller. This pairing of a router and an
FEC, FAC, IOM, or VMA16 field controller is a Wireless-Enabled Field
Controller (WEFC).
A ZFR1800 Series system consists of:
• up to eight ZFR1810 Wireless Field Bus Coordinators per field bus
• up to 35 Wireless-Enabled Field Controllers (WEFCs) per coordinator / PAN
ZFR1800 Series Wireless Field Bus System Quick Reference Guide 3
• up to 100 WEFCs per field bus, depending on the network engine (32 with
NCE, 50 with NAE35)
• up to nine WRZ Sensors per WEFC
Note: Up to 100 total WEFC and WRZ Sensors per PAN
• additional ZFR1811 Wireless Field Bus Routers connected to MS-ZFRRPT-0
Repeater accessories, as required, acting as repeaters
Note: Repeaters extend the wireless transmission distance of the BACnet data
communications, fill in any gaps within the wireless mesh network, and
provide multiple wireless data transmission pathways.
For detailed information on location guidelines for a ZFR1800 Series system, and
for estimating the number of ZFR1811 Routers needed as repeaters for extending
wireless transmission range, refer to the ZFR1800 Series Wireless Field Bus
System Technical Bulletin (LIT-12011295).
In designing and planning the system, pay special attention to these points:
• Every WRZ Sensor should be within 15 m (50 ft) of at least two ZFR1811
Routers.
• Every ZFR1811 Router should be within 15 m (50 ft) of at least two other
ZFR1811 Routers.
• The ZFR1810 Coordinator should be at the center of the mesh network and
within 15 m (50 ft) of at least two ZFR1811 Routers.
• If any WRZ Sensor, ZFR1811 Router, or ZFR1810 Coordinator is not within
15 m (50 ft) of at least two other ZFR1811 Routers, then use ZFR1811 Routers
and ZFRRPT Repeater accessories to function as repeaters to provide multiple
wireless data pathways.
Note: WRZ sensors do not act as repeaters in the ZFR1800 Series Wireless
Field Bus System.
• The maximum distance between the ZFR1810 Coordinator and the farthest
ZFR1811 Router/Repeater should be less than 76.2 m (250 ft).
• Transmissions may use up to ten hops to transmit data to the coordinator;
transmissions that require more than ten hops do not reach the coordinator due
to network restrictions. A hop is the movement of data from one wireless
device in the network to another wireless device in the network.
4 ZFR1800 Series Wireless Field Bus System Quick Reference Guide
• When a wireless mesh network forms, each device receives an address from its
parent. The addressing algorithm can extend up to 5 addresses in depth from
the coordinator. Refer to Figure 1.
Figure 1: Address Depths
Note: Sensor devices cannot communicate directly with routers at depth 5. They
must be able to join the mesh at depth 4 or lower. For example, suppose a
WRZ sensor is physically located in the same room as its VMA with
Address K at depth 5. Since Address K cannot support any sensors
directly, the sensor must be within range of Device J at depth 4 and send its
data to Device J, which then forwards it to Address K.
Note: When a router joins the mesh, it does so based on the availability and signal
quality of other devices around it at that point in time. For example,
although Device L is physically located in the proximity of Device H, it
may get its address from Device J when it joins, making it a depth 5 device
and effectively limiting the growth of the mesh from that point.
The effective transmission range and signal quality varies because of wireless
signal absorption and reflection due to metal obstructions, walls, ceilings, floors,
and furniture found in typical building interiors.
Transmission ranges between ZFR1800 Series products may be less than the
maximum distances shown in Table 1.
Table 1: Indoor Line-of-Sight Transmission Ranges
Range Type Transmission Distance

Recommended 15.2 m (50 ft) 15.2 m (50 ft)
Maximum, Line of Sight 76.2 m (250 ft) 30 m (100 ft)
Note: Use the optional, battery-operated WRZ-SST-120 Wireless Sensing System
Tool with any model WRZ Series Sensor as a site survey tool to determine
the wireless signal strength between potential locations of ZFR1800 or
WRZ devices to survey your application and adjust device locations before
permanently installing the devices. Refer to the WRZ-SST-120 Wireless
Sensing System Tool Installation Instructions (Part No. 24-10563-12) for
more information on the tool.
ZFR1800 Series Wireless Field Bus System Quick Reference Guide 5
Installing the ZFR1800 Series Wireless Field Bus System
Ensure that the physical installation of the ZFR1810 Coordinator and all the
ZFR1811 Routers/Repeaters have good line-of-sight communication paths
(wherever possible), good wired connections, and correct DIP switch settings per
the guidelines in the following documents:
• ZFR1810 Wireless Field Bus Coordinator Installation Instructions
(Part No. 24-10325-2)
• ZFR1811 Wireless Field Bus Router Installation Instructions
(Part No. 24-10325-10)
• ZFR1800 Series Wireless Field Bus System Technical Bulletin
(LIT-12011295)
Pay special attention to these points:
• Mount all ZFR1811 Routers/Repeaters and the antenna of the ZFR1810
Coordinator in the same horizontal plane where possible, preferably just above
the ceiling panels. See Figure 2.

Figure 2: Mount ZFR1811 Routers/Repeaters in the Same Horizontal Plane
Below Pipes, Duct Work, or Metal Obstructions
• For best signal transmission, vertically orient the ZFR1811 Router/Repeater or
the ZFR1810 Coordinator’s antenna with at least 50 mm (2 in.) exposed below
(and clear of) any pipes, duct work, or other metal obstructions.
Do not mount a ZFR1811 Router/Repeater or the ZFR1810 Coordinator’s
antenna in a horizontal orientation.
6 ZFR1800 Series Wireless Field Bus System Quick Reference Guide
When mounting the ZFR1811 Router/Repeater or the ZFR1810 Coordinator’s
antenna to an enclosure, mount it to the top, bottom, or side of the enclosure.

Figure 3: Proper and Improper Mounting Orientations
• Do not mount the ZFR1810 Coordinator’s antenna or the ZFR1811 Router/
Repeater in recessed areas, metal enclosures, or shelving units.
• Avoid configurations where a microwave oven is located between two wireless
devices. Avoid locating the ZFR1810 Coordinator near areas that may contain
a microwave oven, such as an employee break area or cafeteria. At a minimum,
ensure that no microwave ovens are within 6 m (20 ft) of a
ZFR1810 Coordinator.
• Locate the ZFR1810 Coordinator’s antenna and the ZFR1811 Router/Repeater
in line-of-sight with as many ZFR1811 Routers/Repeaters and WRZ Sensors as
possible. Ensure that the line-of-sight is clear of duct work and that metal studs
or I-beams are at least 30 to 61 cm (12 to 24 in.) from the antenna end of the
ZFR1811 router.
ZFR1800 Series Wireless Field Bus System Quick Reference Guide 7
• Locate the ZFR1810 Coordinator on the same floor as the associated ZFR1811
Routers/Repeaters and WRZ Sensors and as close as possible to the center of
the wireless mesh.
• Connect the ZFR1811 router to the correct jack on the field controller. Refer to
the ZFR1811 Wireless Field Bus Router Installation Instructions
(Part No. 24-10325-10).
• Select PAN Addresses that are unique within the site.
• Select PAN Addresses that result in unique MS/TP addresses for each
ZFR1810 Coordinator on a trunk. We recommend that you set the PAN
addresses of multiple ZFR1810 coordinators on the same trunk sequentially to
guarantee that each ZFR1810 has a unique MS/TP Address on the bus. Refer to
the ZFR1810 Wireless Field Bus Coordinator Installation Instructions (Part
No. 24-10325-2) and ZFR1800 Series Wireless Field Bus System Technical
Bulletin (LIT-12011295).
Note: Once the PAN has been selected and other devices start to join the
network, do not change the PAN switches to another value and then back
again. Changing the PAN switches causes that device to clear its network
information, resulting in abandoned children. This can lead to duplicate
network (short) addresses and controller online/offline toggling.

Commissioning the ZFR1800 Series Wireless Field Bus
System
Once a ZFR1800 Series System has been planned and installed according to the
guidelines in Designing and Planning the ZFR1800 Series Wireless Field Bus
System and Installing the ZFR1800 Series Wireless Field Bus System, use these
steps to commission the system.
1. Power the system and verify communications in the ZFR1800 Series Wireless
Field Bus System using the Signal Strength (ZFR1810 Coordinator) or Status
(ZFR1811 Router/Repeater) LEDs.
a. Remove the ZFR1810 Coordinator from the wired MS/TP bus before
starting the wireless network and verifying wireless communications.
b. Power up the ZFR1810 Coordinator.
c. Power up the ZFR1811 Routers/Repeaters.
d. Do not power up the WRZ sensors.
Note: Turning on the WRZ sensors before the wireless mesh is formed and
operating can deplete the battery prematurely as the WRZ sensor tries
to find the mesh network.
e. Wait 5 to 15 minutes for the mesh network to form. After the network
forms, the Signal Strength (ZFR1810 Coordinator) or Status (ZFR1811
Router/Repeater) LEDs should show the two or three-flash pattern
indicating good signal strength.
Table 2: ZFR1810 Coordinator Status LEDs
Name Color Normal Descriptions
Wireless Green flash flash - 2 Hz = Normal operation (ZFR1810
Coordinator is receiving BACnet frames over the
wire).
Off Steady = Not receiving BACnet frames.
On Steady = Stopped receiving BACnet frames.
Signal Strength Green Signal Strength1 Indication: OFF Steady = Not able to start a network.
3 flashes - Excellent ON Steady with Signal Strength displayed once
2 flashes - Good every 10 seconds = Normal operation (ZFR1810
Coordinator is a member of a wireless network).
1 flash - Weak
OFF for 3 seconds - None
1. Signal Strength appears once every 10 seconds or when the Network Optimize/Reform button on the
ZFR1810 Coordinator is depressed momentarily (less than 5 seconds).
10 ZFR1800 Series Wireless Field Bus System Quick Reference Guide
Table 3: ZFR1811 Router Status LED
Name Color Signal Strength Descriptions
Indication1
Signal Green 3 Flashes - Excellent OFF Steady = No power (or normal operation for more than 2 hours).
Strength 2 Flashes - Good OFF Steady with 1 Flash every 10 seconds = ZFR1811 Router is
1 Flash - Weak not a member of a wireless network, invalid PAN OFFSET setting, no
OFF for 3 seconds - None ZFR1810 Coordinators or ZFR1811 Routers in area.
ON Steady with Signal Strength displayed once every
10 seconds = ZFR1811 Router is a member of a wireless network.
OFF Steady with Signal Strength displayed once every
10 seconds = Wireless network is actively communicating, but
ZFR1810 Coordinator cannot be reached (for example, coordinator
lost power).
Rapid Flashes for 5 minutes - rapid flashes occur for up to 5
minutes:
• when the Reform Network option is initiated to the network, the
ZFR1811 router disconnects itself from the network
• when the PAN OFFSET is changed on the ZFR1811 router
• when the PAN OFFSET is changed on the ZFR1811 router after it
has already joined another PAN
• when you change the channel mask using CCT. For example, you
might change the channel mask to force the network to a specific
channel. It would be better to force the channel change through
the engineering view of the coordinator at the NAE. However, it
can take up to an hour for all the devices in the PAN to locate the
coordinator on the new channel.
1. The Signal Strength LEDs on all the ZFR1811 routers in a network extinguish after approximately 2 hours of normal
operation, making the ZFR1811 less distracting when installed in an open area. To re-enable the ZFR1811 LEDs for
troubleshooting purposes, perform a scan using the ZCT or push the Network Optimize Push Button on the ZFR1810
coordinator for 2 -3 seconds.
• If a ZFR1810 Coordinator shows poor signal strength, you may improve
the signal strength by moving the device’s antenna a couple of inches in
either horizontal direction.
If you cannot complete Step 1, review the information in Designing and
Planning the ZFR1800 Series Wireless Field Bus System and refer to the
ZFR1800 Series Wireless Field Bus System Technical Bulletin (LIT-12011295).
For more information, refer to the following documents:
• ZFR1810 Wireless Field Bus Coordinator Installation Instructions
(Part No. 24-10325-2)
• ZFR1811 Wireless Field Bus Router Installation Instructions
(Part No. 24-10325-10)
2. Use the ZFR Checkout Tool (ZCT) to perform a scan of the mesh.
a. Ensure all controllers and repeaters are communicating on the ZFR system
mesh. (Refer to the Troubleshooting section in the ZFR1800 Series
Wireless Field Bus System Technical Bulletin [LIT-12011295]).
b. Select the Status Tab and ensure everything in the Device Status column is
green.
c. Select the Routing Tab and verify there are no controllers requiring more
than five hops to communicate with the ZFR1810 coordinator.
ZFR1800 Series Wireless Field Bus System Quick Reference Guide 11
d. If new devices are failing to join the network, or if the ZCT indicates
abandoned children or duplicate short addresses, you may benefit from
reforming the network using the Commands > Reform Network menu
item. Devices should come online in 5 to 15 minutes. Be careful with
network reforms. If all the devices are not online, a reform can make things
worse, particularly if done too frequently. A good practice during startup
commissioning is to reform nightly as you leave the site, which allows the
mesh to stabilize by morning.
Note: Disconnect the NAE from the MSTP network before initiating a
reform. The extra communication traffic that the NAE attempts while
the ZFR PAN is in this mode can be very disruptive, causing the reform
to take longer or fail.
Note: The Signal Strength LED on the ZFR1811 Routers flash rapidly for
5 minutes when the Network Reform command is received. See
Table 3.
For more information on the ZCT, refer to the Using the ZFR Checkout Tool
(ZCT) chapter of the Controller Tool Help.
3. Use the Controller Configuration Tool (CCT) to check addressing and versions
of all wirelessly enabled devices on the trunk.
a. Use the MS-BTCVT-0 Wireless Commissioning Converter at the FC/SA
Out Bus connection of the coordinator.
Note: Use a six-wire phone extension cable (less than 100 ft long), such as
CBL-NETWORK025, to place the Wireless Commissioning Converter
in a convenient location.
b. In CCT 10.0 and earlier, use Tools > Controller Information to ensure that
the radio firmware on each ZFR1811 Router and the boot firmware and
main firmware on each associated field controller is at the same version on
each WEFC in the mesh network. Note the devices that are not compliant;
this is required in Step 4. This is no longer a requirement at CCT10.1,
WEFC firmware version 6.2, and above.
Note: The ZFR1811 router Radio Firmware updates with the main code
download. Ensure that the ZFR1811 router is connected to the associated
controller during the main code download so that the radio firmware
updates.
c. Remember that the MS/TP trunk can support a mix of wireless controller
and wired controller versions.
d. Ensure that the ZFR1810 Coordinator version is equal to or higher than the
version of each WEFC.
e. Ensure that the Supervisory Controller (NxE) version is equal to or higher
than the ZFR1810 Coordinator version in order to take advantage of all
features in a controller.
12 ZFR1800 Series Wireless Field Bus System Quick Reference Guide
For more information on CCT, refer to the Controller Tool Help (LIT-
12011147). For information on uploading or downloading devices firmware,
refer to the Loading Devices chapter of the Controller Tool Help.
4. Use Point Schedule to mass-download controllers.
Note: You can also use CCT to download controllers individually or use CCT
Trunk utilities to mass-download controllers. See Upgrading Field Devices
on page 27.
a. Ensure all ZFR1810 Coordinators are connected to the Field Bus to allow
for mass download of all controllers (wired and wireless) of one model
type (FEC, IOM, VMA).
Note: Prior to Release 5.1, download only one controller model at a time.
b. Plug the MS-BTCVT-0 Wireless Commissioning Converter into the
ZFR1810 Coordinator at the FC/SA Out Bus connection.
c. Download the boot firmware for each controller with Point Schedule,
based on the findings of Step 3 (mismatched versions).
Note: Ensure that all controllers have downloaded the boot firmware
successfully before downloading the main and application firmware.
d. Download the main and application firmware for each controller with Point
Schedule, based on the findings of Step 3 (mismatched versions).
Note: During a mass download of controllers, you may experience an
occasional download failure. Retry the download of those failed
controllers before using the troubleshooting process.
Note: The controller Fault LED may have a fast flash if the SA bus device is
offline. This is normal as the WRZ sensors are defined in the
application, but are not yet powered and communicating.
Note: A Main code download may take more than 2 hours, based on the
number of controllers.
For more information on using Point Schedule to download controllers, refer to
the Controller Tool Help (LIT-12011147).
5. Turn on WRZ Sensors using the power DIP switch (see Figure 4). The sensors
locate the nearest parent device on the wireless mesh within 15 minutes.
For more information on WRZ sensors, refer to the WRZ Series Wireless Room
Temperature Sensors Installation Instructions (Part No. 24-10332-2).
6. Use ZCT to perform a scan of the mesh network to ensure all sensors are
online.
a. Check the Sensor Status column to ensure all devices are online and are
green.
ZFR1800 Series Wireless Field Bus System Quick Reference Guide 13
b. If any sensors have not come online, initiate a signal strength test. Press
and hold the manual occupancy override button on the WRZ Series Sensor
for 2 seconds or more, then release the button. After you release the button,
the signal strength code displays.

7. Verify the MS/TP wired trunk communications.
a. Connect all of the ZFR1810 coordinators and other devices to the MS/TP
wired trunk.
b. If a Network Automation Engine (NAE) is available, log on to the NAE
and check that all controllers and sensors are online and updating. If no
NAE is available, use the Point Schedule utility.
8. Continue with your normal system commissioning procedure.

Appendix: Wireless Upgrade
This appendix is a high-level overview of how to upgrade wireless trunks at a site
using Metasys Release 5.3 or higher version CCT. This appendix covers:
• Planning for Site Upgrade
• Upgrading a Site
• Troubleshooting
For more detailed information on specific topics, see the Wireless Metasys®
System Related Documentation table.
For upgrading, Release 10.1 version CCT and the Trunk Utilities feature allow you
to do the following:
• Download single files and attributes to multiple controllers
• Download Multiple CAFs
• Read/Write Attributes online
• Manage Attribute Templates
• Upload Multiple CAFs
Note: This feature is not recommended for use with wireless devices.
• Upgrade Multiple CAFs
It is beyond the scope of this document to describe step-by-step procedures for
using this feature. The Trunk Utilities feature is covered extensively in Controller
Tool Help (LIT-12011147). In CCT, go to Help > Topics, and select Working with
Trunk Utilities (Figure 8).
Figure 8: CCT Help Trunk Utilities Topic
ZFR1800 Series Wireless Field Bus System Quick Reference Guide 19
Note: We do not recommend using the full functionality of Trunk Utilities with
wireless devices at this release. However, the use of Trunk Utilities features
included in this document are acceptable with wireless devices at this
release.
Planning for Site Upgrade
When upgrading a site, it is important to appropriately estimate the time it takes to
complete the upgrade process. Large sites may take several days to upgrade. In
order to facilitate a seamless upgrade, plan your site visit so that large site upgrades
can be broken up into several days if required.
When planning for your site visit, keep in mind the following time estimates for
downloads:
• Boot Code for a single controller may take up to 2 minutes.
• Main Code for a single controller may take up to 8 minutes. When upgrading
multiple WEFCs on a PAN, multiple controllers of the same model are
automatically updated simultaneously to decrease the overall upgrade time.
• Application Code for a single controller may take up to 5 minutes.
Before arriving on site, ensure your technician laptop has CCT 10.1 installed. The
set of procedures included in this appendix only covers upgrading using Release
10.1 of CCT.
Upgrading a Site
Upgrading a site to the next revision of Metasys software is a multi-procedure
process. This appendix provides a high-level overview of these procedures. This
appendix is not a replacement for respective device, controller, or software
installation instructions or other upgrade related literature. For more information
on specific devices, controllers, or software, see the Wireless Metasys® System
Related Documentation table.
The following procedures describe upgrading a site that has wireless devices.
These procedures are similar to upgrading wired devices; however, the procedures
included in this appendix incorporate newly added functionality of the Release
10.1 version of CCT. Some of the functionality of the NAE Point Schedule is
replaced in this version of CCT with the Trunk Utilities feature.
Note: We recommend upgrading the firmware in each ZFR1810 on the MS/TP
bus before upgrading the other wireless devices.
If you are upgrading a site using a version of CCT prior to Release 5.3, you must
use the NAE Point Schedule to upgrade the site. Refer to the NAE Point Schedule
Help and other FSC provided literature.
20 ZFR1800 Series Wireless Field Bus System Quick Reference Guide
Connecting to a Wireless Trunk
To begin the wireless upgrade process, use a Wireless Commissioning Converter
(BTCVT) to connect to any ZFR1810 Wireless Field Bus Coordinator connected
to a trunk (Figure 9).
Figure 9: Converter Connected to
ZFR1810 Wireless Field Bus Coordinator
For more information on using the Wireless Commissioning Converter, refer to the
Wireless Commissioning Converter Installation Instructions
(Part No. 24-10108-2).
Connecting to a trunk using the Wireless Commissioning Converter is the
preferred method. Disconnect the MSTP trunk from the NAE during firmware
and application downloads to decrease the wireless network traffic and improve
the download success rate. If this method is not available, use the Ethernet NAE
Passthrough to connect to a trunk.
The least preferable method is to use the ZFR USB dongle to connect to a trunk.
You can use this method to read controller information and upgrade Application
Code. However, we do not recommend it for use when upgrading Main Code to
field controllers.
Completing Trunk Analysis
Once you connect to a trunk, you can begin the upgrade process by completing a
trunk analysis and recording trunk information gathered during analysis.
Note: The upgrade process is completed on a trunk-by-trunk basis. The
procedures included in this appendix detail upgrading a trunk. The
procedures need to be repeated for every trunk you wish to upgrade.
ZFR1800 Series Wireless Field Bus System Quick Reference Guide 21
To complete a trunk analysis, take a snapshot of the present condition of the trunk
using the Metasys SMP UI. Record the information captured in the Bus Health
Index and Bus Performance Index.
Figure 10: Metasys SMP UI Displaying Bus Health Index and
Bus Performance Index
For more information on appropriate parameters and their impact on the upgrade
process, refer to the MS/TP Communication Bus Technical Bulletin
(LIT-12011034).
After recording the Bus Health Index and Bus Performance Index, you should run
a wireless scan on the wireless mesh associated with the trunk. Use the ZCT Tool
to perform this analysis.
To launch the ZCT Tool, in CCT, go to Tools > Wireless > ZFR Checkout Tool.
Note: To complete this part of the analysis, you need to use the ZFR USB Dongle
(ZFR-USBHA-0).
During the wireless mesh analysis, note any detected weak signal strength between
any controllers in the mesh. Keep in mind any weak signals impact the time it
takes to upgrade a trunk.
If new devices fail to join the network, you may want to try reforming it. View the
Associated Children table in ZCT. If a router has 0 children available, new
devices cannot join the network through the router. This is expected if the router
already has the maximum number of devices. However, if the router does not have
the maximum number of devices, the router has too many abandoned children, and
a reform is warranted.
22 ZFR1800 Series Wireless Field Bus System Quick Reference Guide
Next, after completing a wireless scan of the wireless mesh, you can continue your
trunk analysis by taking a snapshot of controller information for your and the
customer’s records.
To capture controller information:
1. Ensure that you are connected to the trunk using the Wireless Commissioning
Converter (BTCVT). You can also connect to the trunk using Ethernet NAE
Passthru.
2. In CCT, go to Tools > Controller Information. The Controller Information
Wizard appears. The wizard auto-discovers all devices (wired and wireless) on
the trunk.
Note: Multiple ZFR1810 Wireless Field Bus Coordinators may be present on
a trunk. Several coordinators may appear. All coordinators on a trunk
can be upgraded in parallel.
3. Once the wizard completes auto-discover, a complete list of all devices appears
(Figure 11). The list includes controller information, such as device name,
description, type, and status. Hold CTRL and click all rows to select all the
devices listed. Click Copy to Clipboard.
Figure 11: Controller Information Wizard
Note: Note the Main Code, Boot Code, and Radio Code firmware versions.
4. Open Microsoft® Excel, and paste the information copied from the Controller
Information Wizard to a spreadsheet. Save this spreadsheet for your and the
customer’s records. Repeat this process at the end of the upgrade for
comparison and for supplying the customer with a record of a completed site
upgrade.
Before you complete this portion of the upgrade procedure, execute standard
upgrading procedures, such as running reports for Offlines, Overrides, and Alarms.
Save and back up these reports for your and the customer’s records.
Uploading CAF Files
1. Go to Tools > Trunk Utilities > Upload Multiple Controllers.
ZFR1800 Series Wireless Field Bus System Quick Reference Guide 23
2. The Trunk Utilities Wizard auto-discovers all of the devices on a trunk (wired
and wireless). Click Next when auto-discover is complete.
Figure 12: Trunk Utilities Upload Multiple CAF Window
3. The Controller Upload screen appears. To change the default destination folder
for uploaded files, click Browse and select the desired directory location.
Note: For the field, a typical preferred directory location is
[Job_Name]/[Supervisory_Controller]/Trunk_Number.
4. Click Finish to upload the CAF files to the directory denoted in Step 3. The
CAF files are named [System_Name_address].caf, and files with the same
name are overwritten.
5. After the upload is complete, click View Status and View Log. Copy the
information captured in both files, and save to a document for use in a final
report for your and the customer’s records.
6. Back up all uploaded CAF files and move the backup to a safe location.
24 ZFR1800 Series Wireless Field Bus System Quick Reference Guide
Upgrading CAF Files
Once you have uploaded the CAF files, you can upgrade the files using CCT.
1. Go to Tools > Bulk CAF Upgrade Utility.
Figure 13: Bulk CAF Upgrade Utility Window
2. Browse to the directory containing the previously uploaded CAF files. Click
Open.
3. Click Load CAF Files.
4. A list of CAF files and their status appears in the Bulk CAF Upgrade Utility
window. Click Perform Upgrade.
Attribute Template Files
If there are multiple controllers on a trunk with the same base Application Code, it
is optimal to use the Attribute Templates provided in CCT. This feature allows you
to upload or download the same Application Code to multiple controllers. This
feature also reads or writes individual parameter values into the Application Code
as defined by in the template.
To create a new template in CCT, go to Tools > Trunk Utilities > Manage Attribute
Templates. Figure 14 shows an example of an Attribute Template.
.
Figure 14: Attribute Template Example
ZFR1800 Series Wireless Field Bus System Quick Reference Guide 25
To populate the Attribute Template with data, go to Tools > Trunk Utilities > Read/
Write Attributes. The wizard auto-discovers devices, and you can manually select
any number of devices to apply the Attribute Template to.
Click Browse to open the desired template file. Click Read Attributes to read the
values from the devices selected in the previous step.
Note: During the read process, new rows are added automatically to the Attribute
Template for each controller discovered. You do not need to manually add
rows for each controller when building an Attribute Template.
To save the template, click Save. Close the Attribute Template Utility by clicking
Close before proceeding.
Upgrading the ZFR1810 Wireless Field Bus Coordinator
CCT supports upgrading multiple ZFR1810 Wireless Field Bus Coordinators
simultaneously. Before beginning the upgrade process on ZFR1810 Wireless Field
Bus Coordinators, ensure all CAF applications are closed.
Note: Disconnect the MS/TP trunk from the NAE during firmware and
application downloads to decrease the wireless network traffic and improve
the download success rate. If this method is not available, use the Ethernet
NAE Passthrough to connect to a trunk.
To begin the upgrade process for a ZFR1810 Wireless Field Bus Coordinator:
1. Go to Tools > Trunk Utilities > Download ZFR.
2. The wizard auto-discovers any and only ZFR1810 devices. Select the devices
you wish to upgrade (CTRL + Click to select multiple devices). Click Next.
3. Select the check boxes next to the devices to upgrade (Figure 15).
Figure 15: Trunk Utilities - ZFR1810 Download Window
Note: The Force Main Download and Force Boot Download check boxes
allow you to force a main code or boot code download to all selected
devices. In some scenarios, you may be required to download the boot
code before proceeding with the workflow.
4. Click Finish to begin downloading the upgrade files for the ZFR1810 Wireless
Field Bus Coordinator.
26 ZFR1800 Series Wireless Field Bus System Quick Reference Guide
For the ZFR1810 Wireless Field Bus Coordinator, the Main Code downloads are
multicast, meaning several downloads occur at the same time. During the
download process, you can monitor progress by clicking View Status and View
Log in CCT.
While the download process occurs, wireless peer-to-peer communications within
the wireless mesh continue to function. However, peer-to-peer communication
between wireless and wired devices or with other wireless meshes on a trunk are
interrupted. Communication with the supervisory controller to other devices may
also be interrupted. Wireless devices may temporarily appear offline. This may
occur if the ZFR1810 download or upgrade process exceeds 5 minutes.
Upgrading Field Devices
After upgrading the ZFR1810 Wireless Field Bus Coordinator, the next step in the
upgrade process is to upgrade the field devices. To complete the upgrade process
for a trunk, you can upgrade both wireless and wired devices at the same time.
Connect to the trunk using the same methods as outlined in Connecting to a
Wireless Trunk.
Note: After upgrading FEC26 files, FEC26 applications may no longer fit into
FEC26 controllers physical memory. The file size of some objects
increases from revision to revision and subsequently requires more
memory in the controller. If an application download fails after upgrading,
use the System Capacity meter in CCT to determine how much controller
memory the application uses. If the meter reads that the application takes
greater than 90% of the controller memory, you may encounter controller
resets or problems loading applications. If this scenario occurs, large
applications for controllers may need simplification or may need to be
distributed across multiple controllers.
In CCT 10.1, follow this high-level procedure to upgrade field devices:
1. Go to Tools > Trunk Utilities > Download Multiple Controllers. Allow the
wizard to auto-discover devices on the trunk. Click Next.
2. The next window displays device information. Select or deselect the devices as
needed.
3. Click Finish to begin downloading the CAF files.
Completing a Site Upgrade
Once all devices on a trunk are upgraded, put the wired FC Bus connections back
in place and complete a final trunk and wireless mesh analysis. See Completing
Trunk Analysis for a high-level procedure.
When completing the final analysis of the wireless mesh, save a copy of the
Wireless Checkout Report for your and the customer’s records.
ZFR1800 Series Wireless Field Bus System Quick Reference Guide 27
In addition to the Wireless Checkout Report, review the Event Log on the Site
Management Portal (SMP). Run reports for Offlines, Overrides, Alarms, and so
on, and compare the final reports to the reports taken at the beginning of the
upgrade procedure. Save copies for your and the customer’s records.
If the customer has CCT installed on site, upgrade CCT for customer use at this
point.
