This section provides recommendations on minimum wire sizes (cross-sectional areas) and maximum wire lengths for the wires connected to the screw terminals of Central IO modules, AS-B servers, RP and MP controllers, and IP-IO and RP-IO I/O modules. Recommendations on minimum wire size and maximum cable length for the digital inputs of the RP controller expansion modules, the DALI bus of the DALI light modules, the SMI Interface of the SMI blind modules, the Zigbee DALI and 0-10V modules, and the KNX Modbus gateway are also provided. The recommendations are for guidance only. Other wire sizes and lengths may be used, depending on wiring rules and when appropriate.
The IP-IO module can be installed on a DIN rail or other flat surface inside a cabinet. The device is recommended to be installed in a cabinet, unless local regulations allow an exception.
You install the terminal blocks on an IP-IO module to add or enable wiring for the device.
It is important to perform the grounding correctly for the following reasons:
The wiring recommendations for the communication ports on the automation servers, RP and MP controllers, IP-IO and RP-IO modules, RP controller expansion modules, and Operator Display devices apply to wires and cables used for RS-485 communications, LonWorks communications, USB connections, Ethernet connections, sensor bus connections, room bus connections, and RP and MP controller Modbus network connections. Always use the recommended cables and wires.
The Status LED on the front of the automation devices changes color and flashes to indicate the status of the device.
The IP-IO module provides I/O expansion to your HVAC application over BACnet/IP and can share their I/O resources across applications running in automation servers, BACnet/IP controllers, or third-party systems. The IP-IO module can be installed near facilities in the field, away from the automation server or the BACnet/IP controller.
The IP-IO module contains a combination of Ethernet and USB communication ports.
The Schneider Electric EasyLogic and SpaceLogic hardware devices for the EcoStruxure BMS include terminal bases, PS-24V power supplies, Central IO modules, automation servers such as AS-P and AS-B servers, MP-C, MP-V, RP-C, and RP-V controllers, IP-IO and RP-IO I/O modules, RP controller expansion modules, remote control, KNX Modbus gateway, Bluetooth adapter, Wireless Adapter - Advanced, SpaceLogic Sensor devices, Advanced Display devices, and Operator Display devices.
You install an IP-IO module on a DIN rail inside a cabinet to ensure that the device is securely fastened and to allow for sufficient ventilation.
