The RS-485 Power Adapter can be used for injecting 24 VDC from an external 24 VDC power supply to an RS-485 based network such as Room Bus or Sensor Bus. This is useful, for example, in applications where you want to extend the RS-485 bus by connecting (daisy-chaining) additional devices, which the RP or MP controller would otherwise not be able to power. The external power supply is connected to the bus via the adapter.
This section provides grounding and power recommendations for system configurations with the RP-C controller models that support 230 VAC input power.
The RP-C 230 V controller models RP-C-16A-F-230V and RP-C-16B-F-230V have a 24 VAC (19 VA) Class 2 output that can be used to power external loads such as actuators, relays, or indicators. The external loads can be controlled using the controller's solid-state relay (SSR) or relay outputs.
The RP-C-16B-F-230V model has 16 I/O points and the controller is equipped with 30 fixed screw terminals.
The RP-C-16A-F-230V model has 16 I/O points and the controller is equipped with 30 fixed screw terminals.

You perform the following steps to power up an RP-C 24 V controller model.
The output override function allows you to manually override outputs. This function can be used for testing, commissioning, and maintenance of equipment.
You can reset and restart the RP controllers in different ways depending on how long you press the reset button. The resets and restarts can affect the retention of values after restart based on the retain levels configured for the variables.
