The RP-V integrates a controller, a damper actuator, and an air flow sensor in a single compact package for ease of installation. The RP-V can either be used as a standalone field controller or as part of an EcoStruxure BMS with a SpaceLogic AS-P or AS-B server or an Enterprise Server as the parent server.
The RP-V has the following features:
Native BACnet MS/TP support
Integrated damper actuator with feedback signal
Factory-calibrated air flow sensor
Versatile onboard I/O point mix
Built-in isolated power supply
Advanced monitoring
Configurable RS-485 port
Sensor bus for SpaceLogic living space sensors
EasyLogic living space sensors

The EasyLogic range of RP and MP controllers and RP-IO I/O modules natively communicate with automation servers and field devices using the BACnet MS/TP protocol.
The RS-485 port with 3-pole screw terminal block is used for connection to the BACnet MS/TP network.
The other RS-485 port (Com A), with RJ45 interface, can be configured to support either sensor bus or Modbus network. For more information, see section “Configurable RS-485 port”.
The RP-V-5C-M controller has an I/O point count and a versatile mix of I/O point types that match a wide variety of VAV applications. The universal inputs/outputs are highly flexible and can be configured as either inputs or outputs.

The universal inputs/outputs are ideal for any mix of temperature, pressure, flow, status points, and similar point types in a building control system.
As counter inputs, the universal inputs/outputs are commonly used in energy metering applications. As supervised inputs, they are used for security applications where it is critical to know whether or not a wire has been cut or shorted. These events provide a separate indication of alarms and events in the system.
For all analog inputs, maximum and minimum levels can be defined to automatically detect over-range and under-range values.
The universal inputs/outputs are capable of supporting analog outputs of type voltage outputs. Therefore, the universal inputs/outputs support a wide range of devices, such as actuators.
Only devices with safe extra low voltage equipment (SELV/PELV) inputs/outputs should be connected to the universal inputs/outputs.
The solid-state relay (SSR) outputs can be used in many applications to switch 24 VAC or 24 VDC on or off for external loads such as actuators, relays, or indicators. SSRs are silent and are not adversely affected by relay contact wear.
For applications that require more I/O resources, the EasyLogic RP-IO modules provide a versatile mix of I/O points for any application. For more information, see the EasyLogic RP-IO Specification Sheet.
The integrated damper actuator allows for simplified installation of RP-V directly over the damper shaft. This means that separate installation, wiring, and positioning of the damper motor is not needed. RP-V uses the same actuator mechanics as MP-V and many Schneider Electric VAV controller models from the Andover Continuum, TAC Vista, TAC I/A Series, and TAC I/NET product lines. The feedback signal from the actuator makes it possible to determine the exact position of the damper. The actuator also features a push button for manual positioning of the damper during commissioning.
The factory-calibrated air flow sensor uses a micro-flow channel integrated with the sensor chip that requires only a small air flow from the velocity probe. The sensor requires no maintenance and a minimum of field adjustments.
The RP-V controller has a built-in power supply designed to accommodate 24 VAC input power. The AC power input (L and N) is galvanically isolated from the electronics. This minimizes the risk of damage due to earth currents and permits the input power to be wired without concern for AC polarity matching. With the isolated AC power input, you can use a central transformer for many RP-Vs, instead of one transformer for each RP-V, to reduce installation costs.
The RP and MP controllers support local trends, schedules, and alarms, enabling local operation when the controller is offline or used in standalone applications.
The battery-free power backup of the memory helps prevent data loss and allows seamless and quick recovery after a power disruption.
In WorkStation, you update the firmware of multiple RP and MP controllers at the same time and with minimum down time. The EcoStruxure BMS server keeps track of the installed firmware to support backup, restore, and replacement of the controllers and sensors. The server can host controllers of different firmware versions.
The RP-V-5C-M controller has one configurable RS-485 port (Com A), which can be configured to support two different types of networks:
Sensor bus
Modbus network
The controller can host one of the network types.
The RP and MP controllers provide an interface designed for the SpaceLogic Sensor family of living space sensors. The SpaceLogic Sensor devices offer an efficient way to sense the temperature, humidity, CO 2 , and occupancy in a room. The SpaceLogic Sensor devices are available with different combinations of sensor types and various covers and user interface options, such as touchscreen, setpoint and override buttons, and blank covers. For more information, see the SpaceLogic Sensors - SXWS Sensors for MP and RP IP Controllers - Specification Sheet.
The RP controller sensor bus provides both power and communications for up to four sensors that are daisy-chained using standard Cat 5 (or higher) cables. This maximum number of sensors that can be connected to a controller is regardless of the sensor model and the combination of cover and sensor base type:
Blank covers: Up to four sensors of any combination of sensor base types
3-button and touchscreen covers: Up to four sensors of any combination of sensor base types
SpaceLogic LCD temperature sensors: Up to four sensors are supported
The maximum total length of the sensor bus is 61 m (200 ft). For more information, see the SpaceLogic Sensors - SXWS Sensors for MP and RP IP Controllers - Specification Sheet.
The EasyLogic Sensor devices provide a cost-effective solution to measure, control, and communicate the temperature. The sensors are connected to analog inputs of the RP or MP controller. The EasyLogic Sensor devices are available in two models with different user interfaces, a blank cover or an LCD display with buttons for setpoint control. For more information, see the EasyLogic Sensors - Temperature Sensors – Analog - Specification Sheet.
The RP controller Modbus network allows standard Modbus devices to be connected to the controller.
The Modbus RTU protocol is used for the communication. The RP controller acts as the Modbus client and the connected devices act as servers.
For connection to Modbus devices, it is recommended to use the non-isolated RS-485 adapter to provide screw termination. The adapter converts an RS-485 RJ45 interface to screw terminals. The adapter can be ordered from Schneider Electric. For more information, see the RS-485 Adapters Specification Sheet.
To connect the adapter, it is recommended that you use a Cat 5 (or higher) UTP cable with eight conductors and RJ45 connectors. The cable should be rated for the target environment and have a maximum length of 0.3 m (12 in.). The cable is not included and needs to be purchased separately.
The maximum number of Modbus devices that can be connected to an RP controller depends on the type of Modbus device and the number of Modbus registers.
The EasyLogic RP controller Modbus network supports up to 10 connected Modbus devices with the following restrictions:
Maximum of 250 Modbus registers per network
64-bit Modbus registers are supported, which can be used in energy metering.
Modbus device types are pre-configured Modbus applications for quick and easy Modbus device integration in EcoStruxure Building Operation solutions. For information on the Modbus devices supported using Modbus device types, see the document EcoStruxure Building - Modbus Device Integration - Supported Device Brochure.
The Commission mobile application is designed for local configuration, field deployment, commissioning of RP and MP controllers, and air flow balancing of VAV units. The mobile application reduces the commissioning time, allows flexibility in project execution, and minimizes dependencies on network infrastructure.
The mobile application is designed for use with Android, Apple (iOS), and Microsoft Windows 10 and Windows 11 devices. For more information, see the EcoStruxure Building Commission Specification Sheet.
Using the Commission mobile application, you can connect to an RP controller. To connect to the RP controller, you use the SpaceLogic Bluetooth Adapter connected to a SpaceLogic Sensor.
With the Commission mobile application, you can easily discover RP controllers on the BACnet network. You can change the configuration of each controller, including the BACnet network settings, location, and parent server. To save engineering time, you can save common device settings and then reuse them for controllers of the same model.
The Commission mobile application does not require an EcoStruxure BMS server or a network infrastructure to be in place. You can use the mobile application to load the controller application directly into the local controller and deploy the controller. The controller application can be created offline using Project Configuration Tool or WorkStation. You can also perform an I/O checkout to verify that the controller's I/O points are configured, wired, and operating correctly.
Using the Commission mobile application, you can perform air flow balancing of VAV units controlled by RP-Vs. An intuitive workflow automatically guides you through the process. After the flow balancing, you can generate a report in HTML format for one or more VAV units. The balancing parameters associated with each RP-V are stored in the parent server, which makes it easier to replace the controller if necessary.
The power of the RP and MP controllers is fully realized when it is part of an EcoStruxure BMS, which provides the following benefits:
WorkStation/WebStation interface
Script and Function Block programming options
Device discovery
Engineering efficiency
WorkStation and WebStation provide a consistent user experience regardless of which EcoStruxure BMS server the user is logged on to. The user can log on to the parent EcoStruxure BMS server to engineer, commission, supervise, and monitor the RP or MP controller and its I/O as well as its attached SpaceLogic Sensor devices. For more information, see the WorkStation and WebStation specification sheets.
The fully programmable RP and MP controller models have both Script and Function Block programming options. Existing programs can easily be reused between the EcoStruxure BMS server and the controller.
The enhanced Device Discovery in WorkStation enables you to easily identify RP and MP controllers on a BACnet network and to associate the controllers with their parent server.
The engineering and maintenance of RP and MP controllers can be done very efficiently using the EcoStruxure Building Operation reusability features. With these features, you can create library items (Custom Types) for a complete controller application that contains programs and all necessary objects such as trends, alarms, and schedules. The controller application in the Custom Types library is reusable across all controllers of the same model. You can use the controller application as a base for creating new controllers intended for similar applications. You can then edit the controller application, and the changes are automatically replicated to all controllers, while each controller keeps its local values.
WorkStation supports both online and offline engineering of RP and MP controllers. You can make the configuration changes online or use database mode to make the changes offline. In database mode, the changes are saved to the EcoStruxure Building Operation database so that you can apply the changes to the controllers later.
Project Configuration Tool enables you to perform all the engineering off site, without the need for physical hardware, which minimizes the time you need to spend on site. You can run the EcoStruxure BMS servers virtually and engineer the RP and MP controllers before you deploy your server and controller applications to the servers and controllers on site. For more information, see the Project Configuration Tool specification sheet.
Using digitally signed firmware provides more secure upgrading of the device. During an upgrade, the device verifies that the firmware is authentic and uncompromised Schneider Electric firmware. If the device detects discrepancies in the authenticity or integrity of the firmware, it will reject the upgrade. Once the device is upgraded with signed firmware, all upgrades thereafter must be with a signed firmware version.
