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.

The relay outputs support digital Form A point types. The Form A relays are designed for direct load applications.

The high power relay output is of type Form C. The normally-open (NO) contact is ideal for switching resistive loads of up to 12 A, such as electrical heating elements. The normally-closed (NC) contact can be used to switch inductive loads of up to 3 A.

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.

内置绝缘电源

The device has a built-in power supply designed to accommodate 24 VAC or 24 VDC input power. The AC/DC power input 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/DC power input, you can use a central transformer for many devices, instead of one transformer for each device, to reduce installation costs.

可选盖板

所有 RP-C 型号可配备可选的盖板以减少对于螺钉端子和线的触及。

高级监控

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 and real-time clock (only available on RP-C-16A-M-24V) 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.

可配置 RS-485 端口

RP-C 控制器有一个可配置 RS-485 端口 (Com A)，可配置为支持两种不同类型的网络：

• 传感器总线

• Modbus 网络

The controller can host one of the network types.

SpaceLogic 实时空间传感器的传感器总线

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.

 

action_zoom_plus_stroke

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.

EasyLogic 生效空间传感器

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.

Modbus RTU 子网

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.

Commission 移动应用程序

Commission 移动应用程序设计用于 RP 和 MP 控制器的本地配置、现场部署和调试。该移动应用程序可缩短调试时间，便于灵活地实施项目，最小化网络基础设施的依赖性。

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.

 

action_zoom_plus_stroke

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.

全面的 EcoStruxure Building Operation 软件支持

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.

使用已签名的固件进行升级

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.
