2 Wired Lighting Control Systems Technical Standards Introduction The following design practices and equipment are identified as the UMass Amherst Lighting Control Standards for Lighting Control Systems. The goal of using consistent practices and equipment across the University is to provide for consistent lighting system procurement and reliable lighting system operation and maintenance. Support for current and future advanced energy-saving functionality such as vacancy detection, automatic dimming with daylight, scheduling, shade control, lumen maintenance, demand response, etc., is a key driver of intelligent lighting control systems. Any deviation from these design standards and the equipment list must have explicit sign-off from the Director of the Physical Plant, The Director of Design and Construction and the UMass Amherst IT Chief Technology Officer. Lighting Controls Technical Standards In order to ensure system reliability the lighting control systems must have a building-local physically connected controller that operates time critical functions such as scheduling so that UMass IT network outages do not interrupt daily operations. Individual fixture control devices must be connected to the controller using one of the three approaches outlined in options 1-4 shown later in this document. The local building lighting controls must be accessible remotely for monitoring, alerting, load shedding, scheduling and programming updates with accessibility to authorized building occupants. In order to benefit from synergies with the UMass Amherst Building Automation System (JCI Metasys), it is strongly preferred that the system connect to Metasys natively, such as with a JCI FAC (Advanced Field Equipment Controller). If that is not possible, the lighting control system minimally must integrate with the UMass Amherst JCI system using the BACnet protocol. All lighting control systems equipment will not be located in UMass IT network closets and UMass IT network closets will be reserved exclusively for UMass IT equipment. If there is a server component to the system, it must be provided as a virtual server image supported under VMware. The server must support UMass Amherst standard configuration requirements, including but not limited to enrollment in the campus Active Directory system and installation of centrally managed software packages including but not limited to anti-virus and software firewall. User authentication for all system-required servers must integrate with the UMass Amherst Active Directory or Shibboleth authentication systems. Network connectivity will typically be restricted and segmented by design to assist with system cybersecurity. Any required on-site server whether it is virtual or Physical equipment may be located in an UMass Amherst data center. Infrastructure Project Manager 2 1/12/2018

3 Deployment Option 1 Internal Non-Ethernet, Metasys Serial Control In this option, the lighting control system uses non-ethernet connectivity internally with remote control solely through the JCI Metasys system. The lighting control panel communicates with all lighting system elements via serial or other non-ethernet communication protocols over dedicated wiring. For external connectivity, the lighting Control panel will connect thru a serial cable to the JCI Advanced Field Controller (FAC) unit. The FAC unit will use the MS/TP protocol to communicate with the Metasys system. The Metasys system JCI Network Automation Engine (NAE) element in turn has a single Ethernet connection back to the UMass campus network to support remote monitoring, access, and programming needs.

4 Deployment Option 2 Internal Ethernet, Metasys Ethernet Control In this option, the lighting control system uses internal private Ethernet connectivity between the lighting controller and all lighting system elements with remote control solely accessible through the JCI Metasys system. The lighting control system operator(s) provide, program, and support a dedicated Ethernet switch. If the lighting system requires Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) functionality, it is the responsibility of the lighting control system operator(s) to specify and program the appropriate internal private Ethernet switching hardware to support this. For external connectivity, the lighting controller must have a second, dedicated Ethernet interface that provides system external connectivity to the UMass campus network. The lighting controller will use an UMass-assigned network address on the external interface, and will communicate with the local JCI NAE using BACnet over Ethernet to provide JCI Metasys integration. Internal private Ethernet communications CANNOT connect to the UMass campus network in any fashion, there must be only the lighting controller external Ethernet connection.

5 Deployment Option 3a Internal Ethernet, Metasys & Vendor Ethernet Control In this option, the lighting control system uses internal private Ethernet connectivity between the lighting controller and all lighting system elements with remote control accessible through the JCI Metasys system and through vendor-provided server(s). The lighting control system operator(s) provide, program, and support a dedicated Ethernet switch. If the lighting system requires Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) functionality, it is the responsibility of the lighting control system operator(s) to specify and program the appropriate internal private Ethernet switching hardware to support this. For external connectivity, the lighting controller must have a second, dedicated Ethernet interface that provides system external connectivity to the UMass campus network. The lighting controller will use an UMass-assigned network address on the external interface, and will communicate with the campus JCI Metasys server using BACnet over IP. All vendor server(s) involved in the system will use the same lighting controller external interface to communicate with the system. The system-internal private Ethernet communications CANNOT connect to the UMass campus network in any fashion, there must be only the lighting controller external Ethernet connection.

6 Deployment Option 3b Internal Ethernet, Metasys & Vendor Ethernet Control with NAE Device In this option, the lighting control system uses internal private Ethernet connectivity between the lighting controller and all lighting system elements with remote control accessible through the JCI Metasys system and through vendor-provided server(s). The lighting control system operator(s) provide, program, and support a dedicated Ethernet switch. If the lighting system requires Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) functionality, it is the responsibility of the lighting control system operator(s) to specify and program the appropriate internal private Ethernet switching hardware to support this. For external connectivity, the lighting controller must have a second, dedicated Ethernet interface that provides system external connectivity to the UMass campus network. The lighting controller will use an UMass-assigned network address on the external interface, and will communicate with the campus JCI Metasys server thru the NAE using BACnet over IP. All vendor server(s) involved in the system will use the same lighting controller external interface to communicate with the system. The system-internal private Ethernet communications CANNOT connect to the UMass campus network in any fashion, there must be only the lighting controller external Ethernet connection.

7 Deployment Option 4 Internal Ethernet, Serial Metasys Control This option is intended for single rooms or small sections of a building such as an auditorium. The lighting control system uses local connectivity between the lighting controller and all lighting system elements with remote control accessible through the JCI Metasys system. The lighting control system operator(s) provide, program, and support a dedicated Ethernet switch. If the lighting system requires Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) functionality, it is the responsibility of the lighting control system operator(s) to specify and program the appropriate internal private Ethernet switching hardware to support this. For external connectivity, the lighting Control panel will connect thru a serial cable to the JCI Field Controller (FEC) unit. The FEC unit will use the MS/TP protocol to communicate with the Metasys system. The Metasys system JCI Network Automation Engine (NAE) element in turn has a single Ethernet connection back to the campus network to support remote monitoring, access, and programming needs.

8 Wireless Lighting Control Systems Technical Standards Introduction In accordance with the UMass Amherst Lighting Control standards the following design practices and equipment are identified as UMass Amherst standard for Wireless Lighting Control Systems. The goal of using consistent practices and equipment across the University is to provide for consistent lighting system procurement and reliable lighting system operation and maintenance. Support for current and future advanced energy-saving functionality such as vacancy detection, automatic dimming with daylight, scheduling, shade control, lumen maintenance, demand response, etc., is a key driver of intelligent lighting control systems. Prior written approval is required for a Wireless Lighting Control System from the Director of the Physical Plant, The Director of Design and Construction and the UMass Amherst IT Chief Technology Officer. Wireless Lighting Control Practices UMass Amherst IT is charged with operating a complex campus network that supports multiple functions and systems. Wireless equipment, like many other systems and devices, is increasingly reliant on reliable and consistent network connectivity for operation and management. The introduction of non-standard wired and/or wireless network equipment into the campus network presents a risk of network degradation or outage for all network users and thus must be handled in a consistent manner to reduce the potential for network performance degradation or outages. Where possible, wireless lighting control systems are strongly preferred to operate outside of the 2.4GHz and 5GHz wireless frequency ranges utilized by IEEE Wi-Fi standards. In systems that must operate in those frequency bands, UMass Amherst IT shall provide fixed channel assignments for lighting control system use to ensure both reliable lighting system control functioning as well as non-interference with the mission-critical campus production Wi-Fi network. Specific communication protocol channel assignments at this time are: IEEE ZigBee-based lighting control systems must use channel 25 only. At this time lighting control systems are the only users of channel 25, but due to limited non-interfering channel availability other ZigBee-based control systems may be assigned to use channel 25.

9 Criteria for Wireless Lighting Controllers 1. Wireless Lighting Control should only be considered when wiring of the lights is not possible or is extremely cost prohibitive. Wired lighting control is more reliable and less subject to creating interference with other mission-critical wireless services on campus, or operating erratically due to interference created by other existing wireless services already operating on campus. 2. The Wireless Lighting Controller Equipment should use a channel outside of the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz spectrum used by IEEE (Wi-Fi) if feasible. If this is not possible then the equipment must use a fixed wireless channel assigned by UMass Amherst IT. 3. Wireless repeaters and transmitters must be installed at least 10 feet away all other wireless transmitters. UMass Amherst IT Wi-Fi access points and cellular Distributed Antenna Systems are likely to interfere with reliable wireless lighting control system operation if this separation is not observed. 4. There must be at most one wired network connection from the Wireless Lighting Control equipment to an UMass Amherst IT switch. UMass Amherst IT must assign any required network IP addresses used by the wired interface of the Wireless Lighting Control equipment. 5. Due to the complexity of the UMass Amherst network, directly connecting vendor-managed networking equipment to UMass Amherst network switches or routers may interfere with and/or cause damage to the UMass Amherst network equipment or performance. Therefore, all wireless lighting control systems requiring an Ethernet/IP link for external control must be configured in one of the fashions outlined in the UMass Amherst IT Wired Lighting Control System Technical Standards document. 6. At this time UMass Amherst IT cannot provide supportable and sustainable Power-over- Ethernet services for network-connected devices, including Wireless Lighting Control equipment. Where lighting control systems require use of Power-over-Ethernet devices, all such devices may not be located in an UMass Amherst IT Node rooms due to access, power, and heat considerations. 7. All Wireless Lighting controllers must be controlled through the UMass Amherst JCI Metasys system and must have read/write scheduling enabled. 8. Wireless lighting control system operators are responsible for establishing and maintaining maintenance contracts and support arrangements for the wireless lighting control system to ensure consistent and reliable operation. These support arrangements must cover all aspects of the system, including but not limited to programming, software upgrades, and troubleshooting system operation including diagnosing and resolving wireless communication issues. Wireless control systems have elements that are not physically isolated from the general public as they are accessible via radio communication. This dictates that a responsible party must be named to develop and implement processes supporting timely application of routine and security-related patches to the wireless lighting control system as needed over the full equipment life-cycle.

10 Lighting Control Technical Standards UMass Amherst IT routinely updates the UMass Amherst Lighting Control Standard Equipment List below to maintain currency with market offerings. Any projects being executed on an extended timeline between Lighting Control design and installation should use the currently specified equipment. For projects where system design and system installation are separated by a year or more the situation becomes more complex. In the case where new building Lighting Control Systems are designed years in advance of system deployments the system designs should establish building infrastructure requirements (network cabling, electrical outlets, rack locations, etc.) and should use the then-current Lighting Control equipment technical standards to generate an overall Lighting Control equipment budgetary estimate. As the project prepares to procure Lighting Control equipment closer to the time of the equipment installation, the specific equipment makes and models to be purchased must be selected from the now-current Lighting Control equipment technical standards. Note that due to the nature of technology development and pricing it is expected that equipment costing will remain relatively consistent with the original budgeting as the equipment evolves over time.
