INTRODUCTION The POWERLINK G3 NF1000G3N2 controller provides a data interface to

Johnson Controls equipment using the Metasys® N2 Open Protocol. The
controller connects a POWERLINK G3-equipped panel to the N2 network,
eliminating the need for a Metasys Integrator for data conversion.
POWERLINK G3 remotely operable circuit breakers, grouped into lighting
zones, are commanded as a single binary output (BO) point. A low-voltage
wall switch, connected to the controller’s wiring compartment, can be used to
provide local control of the lighting zone. A maximum of 16 physical switches
may be connected locally. These 16 inputs are a subset of a larger set of 64
logical inputs that are provided for controlling up to 64 unique lighting control
zones.
The controller features a front panel LCD user interface for configuration. You
can use the front panel to assign remotely operable circuit breakers to
lighting zones. Advanced features of the controller, such as blink notice or
input timers, are also configured through the front panel. No software
configuration tools or cables are required for any application.
POWERLINK G3 represents the third-generation of Square D Company’s
remote power switching systems. POWERLINK G3 continues to advance the
technology of remotely operable circuit breakers by providing a unique
system architecture in which multiple circuit breaker panelboards can be
operated by one controller. A single N2 network connection is made at the
master panelboard containing the controller. Slave panelboards do not
require an N2 connection, saving wiring costs and allowing more devices to
exist on the N2 network segment.

June 2005 Using With PCS Software
USING WITH PCS SOFTWARE As a member of the POWERLINK G3 family, the NF1000G3N2 is compatible
with PCS101 configuration software. This software uses Modbus ASCII
communications to interact with the controller. If you are using PCS101 you
will want to consider the following:
• The front panel RS232 connection provided on every POWERLINK G3
controller connects to the RS485 network through an internal data
converter. If you are using the front panel port you must do one of the
following to avoid data collisions:
° Disconnect the controller from the N2 network or
° Temporarily stop N2 master communications
• You can configure and save all POWERLINK G3 controllers from any
controller’s front panel port provided you observe the restrictions noted
above. A front panel serial cable is included with PCS101
• To match the controller’s communication parameters, you will need to
communicate using 9600 baud, no parity.

INSTALLING THE CONTROLLER A copy of the standard NF1000G3 instruction bulletin (63249-401-200) is
supplied with the NF1000G3N2 controller. Refer to that document for
information and safety instructions regarding the installation and wiring of the
POWERLINK G3 controller.
N2 NETWORK WIRING The network wiring terminals are located in the low-voltage wiring
compartment of the controller. The N2 communication wiring must be
connected to the 5-pin COM 1 connector found in this compartment. The
connector legend is found on the wiring compartment cover.
Note that the COM 1 connector has terminals for both RS232 and RS485
communications. Do not make any connection to the RS232 terminals when
connected to the N2 network. Although the RS232 and RS485 terminals use
different driver chips, they connect internally to the same communications
port. Attempting to use both sets of terminals simultaneously may result in
improper operation. Also note that the same precautions apply to the front
panel RS232 port, as it is internally connected to the RS232 terminals in the
wiring compartment.

NETWORK RECOMMENDATIONS The controller RS485 circuitry is protected from voltage spikes by internal
transient suppressors and from excessive current by a PTC device. The N2+
and N2- lines are each internally biased using 10K resistors. It is
recommended that unterminated networks should be limited to 32 controllers
per repeater with up to 4,000 feet wire length between repeaters. This
distance may be increased to 5,000 feet when using 16 or less controllers
per segment.

OPERATION OVERVIEW The POWERLINK G3 controller is modeled around the concept of lighting
control zones. Zones are circuits that are combined into groups within the
POWERLINK G3 logic (see Figure 4–1). Overriding a zone or commanding
an input to a zone affects all of the circuits assigned to that zone. Zones 1–
16 are controlled by local switches, on-board schedules, or by
communication commands. Zones 17–64 are controlled only by
communications command.

Figure 4–1: POWERLINK NF1000G3N2 Controller Logic Model
A G3 controller has object-oriented logic designed around four functional

areas: Inputs, Zones, Outputs, and Time Schedules.
• Inputs—Combines contact closure activity with timers to create a logical
state to represent the input. This logical input state can also be
commanded via communications.
• Zones—Logically combines the schedule state with the input state to
create a single zone state, which is used to set or clear the desired states

Chapter 4—Operation 63249-401-206/A3
Zone Priority June 2005
of any circuit breakers assigned to that zone. (See zone priority discussion
below.) The computed zone state may be overridden via communications.
• Outputs—Uses the desired state of a circuit breaker to control the circuit
breaker’s physical state. This function also manages blink notice and the
blink delay timer.
• Time Schedules—Compares the current time, day, and date with the
schedule configuration; and it computes a logical state.
NOTE: Time schedules are disconnected from the zone object when N2
communications are active.
ZONE PRIORITY Remotely operated circuit breakers must be assigned to a zone. Circuit
breakers are generally OFF when not commanded ON by any zone.
However, if circuit breakers are included in more than one zone they will
behave according to the zone’s priority configuration. The table below lists
the zone priority configurations from the lowest to highest priority and the
circuit breaker status.
Table 4–1: Zone Priority Configurations
Zone Priority Configuration Circuit Breaker Status (ON or OFF)

Circuit breaker is ON when zones are ON. Circuit
Normal ON
breaker is OFF when zones are OFF.
Circuit breaker is forced OFF regardless of the state
Priority OFF
of the other zones.
Circuit breaker is forced ON regardless of the state
Priority ON
of the other zones, including Priority OFF.
Most applications will use the Normal ON zone priority setting. An example
where the Priority OFF is appropriate is in a load-shed scenario. One-half of
all lighting circuits, regardless of zone, can be assigned to a load-shed zone.
These circuits are forced OFF when the point is commanded ON, based on
a control signal that indicates a demand target has been exceeded. An
example where Priority ON would be appropriate is an alarm scenario. All
lighting circuits, including those commanded OFF by Priority OFF, are forced
ON based on a security or fire alarm.
NOTE: The zone priority logic is computed after zone logic so that using the
zone override for normal control is not affected. See “Zone Control” on
page 14
TIME SYNCHRONIZATION POWERLINK G3 supports the N2 time update command, which is used by
the N2 master to synchronize the clock of the N2 slave device. It is assumed
that the N2 master time update message contains the local time. Therefore,
POWERLINK G3’s time zone attribute will not affect the time value. A time or
date set locally at the controller front panel will be overwritten by N2.
NOTE: The controller time clock is used for execution of on-board schedules.
If Metasys control is used in conjunction with POWERLINK G3 controller-
resident back-up schedules, it is essential that the N2 master be set to the
correct time.

June 2005 N2 Mode
N2 MODE The main LCD screen indicates whether the controller is in AUTO or N2
communications mode.
• AUTO Mode—If N2 communications is not detected, the controller
responds to any active on-board schedules.
• N2 Mode—If N2 communications is detected, on-board schedules are
forced inactive. If N2 communications is not detected for a duration equal
to the Comms Loss Action time-out period, the controller returns to AUTO
mode.
POINT TYPES POWERLINK G3 has an object-oriented architecture that lends itself to N2

operation. Binary output (BO) points are used for control of the input and
zone objects. Binary input (BI) points are used to monitor status of the inputs
and the control busses. Analog data integer points (ADI) are used to set time
schedules. Here is a summary of each of each point type:

Point Types June 2005
Physical and Logical Inputs Sixty-four BI points are provided, representing both the 16 physical switch
inputs and the 48 additional logical inputs. These points report the current
state of the input. These BI points support overrides, alarming, and change-
of-state reporting.

The N2 Binary Input override and release commands are used to temporarily
control the input point. The table below lists the N2 commands and explains
what they do:
Table 4–3: N2 Binary Input Override and Release Commands
Command Action
• “ON” state applied to the input so that the local input
ON switch activity is ignored
• Input timer will not cause the input state to change.
• “OFF” state applied to the input so that the local input
switch activity is ignored
OFF
• Input timer will not cause the input state to change.
•
• Restores operation to the locally connected switch.
Release Override • Leaves the logical state of the input at the last
commanded state.
If alarming is enabled, the alarm state is true when the normal state does not
match the current state. If change-of-state reporting is enabled and the
current state changes, the latest current state will be placed into the binary
change-of-state response list.

June 2005 Point Types
Control Bus Status Sixteen BI points are provided to represent the control busses operating and
monitoring the circuit breakers. While only eight control busses can be
connected to the controller at any time, 16 points are provided to represent
the 16 logical addresses where these eight busses can be installed.
A BI point represents the status of a control bus. These BI points support
alarming and change-of-state reporting. Override of this point is not
supported.

Bus Status
Normal State (BI) Alarm State
COS Reporting
Figure 4–3: Control Bus Status Point Diagram
Bus status monitoring is useful to determine if the control bus becomes

disconnected (unreliable), or if the bus contains a non-responding circuit
breaker. A non-responding circuit breaker is one that cannot reach its
commanded state because it is either: (A) tripped, (B) turned OFF by the
handle, or (C) is in manual mode. The default state of the BI point is 0 (OK).
A non-responding circuit breaker or missing bus sets the current state to 1
(FAULT). Do not enable alarms for control busses that are not present to
prevent false alarms. If change-of-state reporting is enabled and the current
state changes, the latest current state is placed into the binary change-of-
state response list.
NOTE: The system integrator should associate an alarm message
containing the panel name to the alarm condition, for example “Non-
responding circuit breaker in Panel LP4A – Room 5E727,” and enable the
alarm for this point.
Control Bus Address Identification POWERLINK G3 control busses use reference numbering that indicates the
bus location in a typical installation. The 16 control bus addresses are
identified in the point map by a number format “xy” (see Table 4–4).
Table 4–4: Control Bus Address Identifiers
Identifier Value
• Slave Address Selector switch setting or
x
• “0” for the panel containing the controller and power supply
• “L” for the left side of the panel or
y
• “R” for the right side of the panel
For example, the positions of the master panel are “0L” and “0R.” The
positions of the first slave panel are “1L” and “1R.” The bus with the Slave
Address Selector or power supply is always the “xL” bus, and the second bus
in the panel is always the “xR” bus.
NOTE: Actual installations may deviate from the typical installation practices.
You should verify that the alarm messages direct the maintenance personnel
to the correct panel.

Zone Control Sixty-four BO points are provided, each representing one of the 64
POWERLINK G3 zones. The first 16 zones are internally connected to the 16
physical inputs and the 16 time schedules. Zones 17–64 are internally
connected to logical inputs 17–64 only. These BO points report the current
state of the zone and support overrides and change-of-state reporting.

COS Reporting
Figure 4–4: Zone Control Point Diagram
The “Trouble” flag indicates that a circuit breaker assigned to this zone is non-
responding. This information may be useful when investigating a bus status
alarm condition. If change-of-state reporting is enabled and the current state
changes, the latest current state is placed into the binary change-of-state
response list.
Zone-based control is performed by applying ON, OFF and Release
commands to the zone’s BO point. Table 4–5 explains the zone-based
commands and their actions:
Table 4–5: Zone-based Control Override and Release Commands
Commands Action
• “ON” state applied to the zone as an override
ON
• Zones will not respond to input or schedule changes
• “OFF” state applied to the zone as an override
OFF
• Zones will not respond to input or schedule changes
• Restores normal zone operation
Release • Zone returns to the state set by the input or schedule
according to the zone logic type setting
Remotely operable circuit breakers must be assigned to a zone. Typically a

circuit breaker is commanded ON whenever its assigned zone is ON. If a
circuit breaker is assigned to more than one zone, such as in an egress area
application, it is ON if any of its assigned zones is ON. This rule may not be
valid if the zone priority configuration setting is changed. For more
information about zone priority, see “Zone Priority” on page 10.

June 2005 Point Types
Input Control Sixty-four BO points are provided to represent the 64 physical and logical
input points. Unlike the BI representation of the input point, Metasys can
control the BO version of the point automatically via a weekly schedule. This
method of control is useful where a sweep of local inputs is desired. An
override written to this point is equivalent to turning the zone ON or OFF from
a local switch, but unlike a zone override command, the input remains free to
respond to the local switch. The point representation is as follows:

Input-based control is performed by applying ON, OFF and Release

commands to the input’s BO point.

Time Schedules Typically the daily time schedule of a zone is under the control of the Metasys
schedule function. POWERLINK G3 schedules can be used as an optional
back-up in situations where the building owner desires distributed control as
a precaution against a non-functioning system. Although schedules may be
configured via the front panel user interface, schedules can also be
administered through ADI points.
The POWERLINK G3 controller contains 16 on-board schedules
corresponding to zones 1–16. Each lighting zone must be assigned its own
weekly schedule. The first four periods of each schedule are available
through ADI points. Additional time/day periods may be programmed directly
into the controller, but these periods are not available through N2.
NOTE: It is recommended that applications using ADI points stay within this
four period limitation instead of using a combination of ADI points and front
panel schedule configuration.
A group of three ADI points are used to define each period. The first point
defines the start time, the second point defines the end time, and the third
point defines the active days of the week for the occupancy period. Time
values are scaled as minutes past midnight. Valid days are set by using a
weighted composite value where Sunday = 64, Monday = 32, Tuesday = 16,
Wednesday = 8, Thursday = 4, Friday = 2, and Saturday = 1. See
Table A–4 in Appendix A—NF1000G3N2 Point Map on page 21.
For example, to set the schedule for zone 3 to be ON Monday through Friday
from 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM and Saturday from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, use two
periods:

3 2 Start Time 28 10:00 600 min*
3 2 End Time 29 18:00 1080 min*
3 2 Active Days 30 S 1**
* Start and End time units scaled as minutes past midnight using the following formula:
Time x 60 minutes = minutes past midnight (i.e 10:00 x 60 = 600)
** Active Days units are a weighted composite value, with each active day representing a particular value:
Sun. = 64, Mon. = 32, Tues. = 16, Wed. = 8, Thurs. = 4, Fri. = 2, Sat. = 1
Examples: All 7 days (64 + 32 + 16 + 8 + 4 + 2 + 1 = 127); Weekdays only (32 + 16 + 8 + 4 + 2 = 62);
Weekends (64 + 1 = 65); etc.
† Schedule number is the same as zone number.

INTRODUCTION The POWERLINK G3 controller requires initial configuration before

integration with Metasys. This section provides an overview of the
configuration and integration process, which is dependent on the facility
wiring and the desired control strategy.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN Before programming the controller, you will need to collect facility-specific
information. It is assumed that light fixtures are wired to branch circuits, and
local override switches are installed. The required information is summarized
below:
• Zone Information – Determine which circuits are associated with
particular light fixtures and which of these circuits are to be grouped
together into lighting control zones. If this information is not provided, you
can manually operate the circuit breakers and observe which lights turn
ON or OFF.
• Local Switch Information – Determine whether a switch is provided for
a zone. If provided, identify the switch’s input terminal number, which
determines the zone number. Also, determine whether the switch type is
maintained or momentary. Momentary switches are recommended for
most applications.
POWERLINK CONFIGURATION Below is a list of configuration parameters for the NF1000G3N2 controller
using the front panel LCD. See the NF1000G3 instruction bulletin,
63249-401-200, for more information about using the front panel LCD.
NOTE: Be sure to fill out the system configuration sheets as you program the
controller. These sheets are located in Appendix C—System
Configuration Sheets of the NF1000G3 instruction bulletin.
1. Set Controller N2 Communications Address

a. From the Main menu, select Controller > Communications.
b. Set the N2 Network Address for each controller.
NOTE: Addresses 58 and 62 are not selectable because they are
reserved for protocol auto-detection.

Chapter 5—Configuration Overview 63249-401-206/A3
POWERLINK Configuration June 2005
2. Set Breaker Numbering for Each Control Bus

a. From the Main menu, select Controller > Control Busses.
b. Review the circuit breaker numbering sequence for each panelboard.
If the numbering sequence does not match the numbering shown on
the panelboard trim and/or your system configuration documentation,
change the breaker numbering sequence to match. This is
recommended to prevent possible confusion when grouping the
circuits into zones.
NOTE: Numbering starts at the vertical bus connection end of the
control bus.
3. Set Blink Notice for Each Circuit Breaker
a. From the Controller menu, select Breakers > Blink Type.
b. Select the appropriate blink type for the connected load. A blink notice
is used to warn occupants when the lights are about to turn OFF. The
blink notice occurs when the zone controlling the circuit breakers
transitions from ON to OFF. The blink types are as follows:
• NONE (default) – The circuit breaker turns OFF immediately
without a blink notice. This blink type is typically used with
High-Intensity Discharge (HID) lighting or with non-lighting loads.
• SINGLE – The circuit blinks once to notify that the circuit breaker
will turn OFF in a specified amount of time unless it is
commanded back ON. This blink type is typically used with
incandescent, florescent, or halogen lighting.
• DOUBLE – The circuit blinks twice to notify that the circuit breaker
is about to turn OFF. A second blink occurs one minute before
turning the circuit breaker OFF. This blink type is typically used
with incandescent, florescent, or halogen lighting.
• DELAY ONLY – The circuit will turn OFF in the specified amount
of time, but will not blink. This blink type is typically used when HID
light circuits are included in the same zone as other circuits
configured for single or double blink.
4. Group Circuit Breakers into Zones

a. From the Main menu, select Zone > Breakers.
b. Using either the View/Edit method, or the Learn method, assign
circuit breakers to the correct lighting zone.
Zones 1–16 may have a local control switch wired to the zone’s input
terminals. Be sure to assign the circuit breakers to the zone number
corresponding to the local control switch physically located in the
zone area. Circuit breakers may be assigned to more than one zone
if controlling lights located in egress paths or common areas.
5. Configure Zone Input
a. From the Main menu, select Zone > Input.
b. If a local control switch is used, you will need to configure the zone
input according to the desired control behavior for the lighting zone.
Choose from the following control strategies:
• No Local Control – ON/OFF control commands are provided by
the Johnson Controls system only. Recommended for areas with
a consistent schedule, such as parking lots. Configuration of the
input is not required.
• Local Override – The local switch allows the occupant to turn the
lights ON during unscheduled periods. Recommended for offices
or other areas where the occupants might work overtime and

63249-401-206/A3 Chapter 5—Configuration Overview
June 2005 Metasys Configuration
require a local means to turn lights ON. Configure the input type
to match the switch type, and configure the timer for the desired
amount of override time. A timer is recommended for use with
local override switches to automatically turn the zone OFF during
unscheduled periods.
• Local Control – The local switch will allow the occupant to turn
the lights OFF as well as ON. Recommended for areas that need
to turn lights OFF during normal work hours, such as a meeting
room. Configure the input type to match the switch type.
Configure an input timer, if desired.
METASYS CONFIGURATION POWERLINK G3 provides a variety of N2 points that are useful for control
and status monitoring. Most applications use a weekly occupancy schedule
to automate lighting. This schedule resides in the Metasys Network Control
Module (NCM) and is modified from the operator workstation. A back-up
schedule also can reside in the POWERLINK G3 controller.
NCM SCHEDULE In typical applications the occupancy schedule is controlled by Metasys,

which issues commands to turn lights ON and OFF. The schedule controls
either the Zone BO point or the Input BO point, depending on the desired
operation. Choose the appropriate BO control point and commands
according to the chosen control strategy:
• No Local Control – Program a weekly schedule to command the Zone
BO point using the ON command at the beginning and the OFF command
at the end of each occupancy period.
• Local Override – Program a weekly schedule to command the Zone BO
point using the ON command at the beginning and the RELEASE
command at the end of each occupancy period. Releasing the zone
override allows the local switch to control the zone during the unoccupied
periods. Pressing the local switch keeps the zone ON for the desired timer
period.
• Local Control – Program a weekly schedule to command the Input BO
point using the ON command at the beginning and the OFF command at
the end of each occupancy period. Commanding the input point allows
“last-event” operation between the schedule and the local switch. Be
aware that an input timer will automatically turn the zone OFF
independent of the programmed schedule. Alternately, you can leave the
input timer unconfigured, and program the Metasys schedule to include
periodic OFF commands during the unoccupied time periods.

POWERLINK G3 Schedule June 2005
POWERLINK G3 SCHEDULE The internal schedule capability of POWERLINK G3 allows complete

stand-alone lighting control, which is useful in situations where a back-up
schedule is desired as a precaution against unsuccessful communications.
Metasys can be used to administer schedules to POWERLINK via ADI
points.
NOTE: Use the NCM schedule as a guide to program ADI points with the
same schedule. This schedule will be active only when N2 communications
is inactive.
A time schedule must be converted into ADI values. For example, a typical
office application requires that a POWERLINK G3 schedule be programmed
into zone 1. Occupancy hours are from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Monday through
Friday. See Table 5–1 for the ADI point values used in this example.
Table 5–1: ADI Time Schedule Example for an Office Application
Schedule† Period Description ADI Network Point Address Time Period ADI Value
1 1 Start Time 1 8:00 480 min*
1 1 End Time 2 17:00 1020 min*
1 1 Active Days 3 MTWTF 62**
* Start and End time units scaled as minutes past midnight using the following formula:
** Active Days units are a weighted composite value, with each active day representing a particular value:
Sun = 64, Mon = 32, Tues = 16, Wed = 8, Thurs = 4, Fri = 2, Sat = 1
Examples: All 7 days (64 + 32 + 16 + 8 + 4 + 2 + 1 = 127); Weekdays only (32 + 16 + 8 + 4 + 2 = 62);
Weekends (64 + 1 = 65); etc.
† Schedule number is the same as zone number.

Sun. = 64, Mon. = 32, Tues. = 16, Wed = 8, Thurs. = 4, Fri. = 2, Sat. = 1
Examples: All 7 Active Days (64 + 32 + 16 + 8 + 4 + 2 + 1 = 127); Week Active Days only (32 +
16 + 8 + 4 + 2 = 62);
WeekEnd Times (64 + 1 = 65); etc.
3 For all schedules, periods 5 – 24 are not supported as N2 points.
