The Energy Manager asked ESC Automation to implement a program to stagger the ASHP operation in order to reduce demand while maintaining building and occupant comfort.ĮSC Automation used CopperTree Analytics to investigate the pilot building of Brooke Elementary, track historical energy consumption versus occupancy, predict demand, and track and report savings. Doing so would minimize the demand charges triggered by their concurrent starts. In searching for potential load shedding opportunities, the Energy Manager of the Delta School District wanted to implement a program to stagger the start of the ASHPs. As a result, electrical demand was highest in the morning and led to demand charges from the utility company. To prepare the rooms for school start times, all units were enabled at the same time in the morning. The schools have identical layouts and building systems and are served by air source heat pumps (ASHP) that provide heating, ventilation and air conditioning. Setting up multiple sites in a single BACnet network produces communication problems in the CopperCube.The Delta School District has an inventory of 17 pod-type elementary schools.

You can only set up 1 site per BACnet network.

If connecting to multiple sites, the device number does not need to be the same for every site but should be what works best for that particular site. This device number must not conflict with any other device numbers in this BACnet network.

You need to enter the connection type and device number for the CopperCube on the BACnet network.

It is recommended to minimize spaces and extra capitals. When setting up a building in CopperTree Kaizen to receive the data from the CopperCube, this site name needs to be entered as an exact match. The name should be kept as short as possible as this data is stored repeatedly in the database.

The site name is a unique name on your CopperCube with a unique range of devices.

You need to consider the following information before you add a site: You can add multiple BACnet sites on the same CopperCube but each site has to have a unique connection to a BACnet network. The data can also be moved to a Kaizen or SQL server. The trend log data is saved internally on the CopperCube.

These trend logs will be set to Not Archived by default.Īutomatic Trend Logs archive settings under the Sites and Devices Ranges tab 6: Define a BACnet Site and Device Ranges However, in most cases, instead of allowing the system to choose all trend logs, you want to select specific trend logs to archive.Įven though the automatic selection is turned off, CopperCube will still continue to discover new trend logs on the site. Turn Off Automatic Selection of All Trend Logs when the Automatic Trend Log Selection box is selected, CopperCube will automatically discover and archive all trend logs it finds on the site. This setup information is used to ensure that data from CopperCube is mapped to the correct building in Kaizen. This site name will also need to be entered into Kaizen so that your Kaizen account presents the correct data. See Sites for information on defining your site(s).

The site provides a definition for the CopperCube software to be able to connect to the BACnet network and retrieve data. Settings > Sites and Device Ranges: You must have the CopperCube connected by the BACnet port to the building control network to configure the Sites and Devices. If the setup is correct, you should see the status page of the CopperCube graphical user interface (UI).ĬopperCube IP configurations found under IP settings tab of the settings page 5: Add a site

Open a web browser and enter 169.254.8.29 into the address bar.

Please note that the CopperCubes purchased prior to March 1, 2014, has a different fixed-IP.

Plug a Cat5e cable into your computer’s network port and then into and into the CopperCube fixed-IP Service port (labeled LAN 2).

When the CopperCube starts up, it will produce a short beep.

Check the Power LED and if it is not on, press and hold the power button until the green power light turns on.

Part numbers are 194300 (North America) and 194301 (European) If you did not order a power supply and require one, they are available through online ordering.

Connect 24VAC/50VA to the 2-pin screw terminal or 12-28VDC/30W through the barrel connector of a power supply to the CopperCube.

The following steps can be taken to set up CopperCubes: 1: Physical Set-Up This document describes the steps that need to be done in order to set up your CopperCube so that it can collect data from your BACnet network. Your CopperCube has come from the factory in an unconfigured state.
