The MP-V controller is a multi-purpose, fully programmable, IP based field controller dedicated for VAV applications. MP-V integrates a controller, a damper actuator, and an air flow sensor in a single unit for ease of installation. The MP-V can either be used as a standalone BACnet field controller or as part of an EcoStruxure BMS with an automation server or Enterprise Server as the parent server. MP-V can also be reconfigured through the EcoStruxure Building Operation software to use BACnet MS/TP, instead of BACnet/IP.
The I/O wiring recommendations provide guidance on what type of wires should be used for the different Central IO modules, AS-B server onboard I/O, RP and MP controller onboard I/O, and IP-IO and RP-IO I/O modules, how to perform grounding, and how to connect different external devices to the inputs and outputs. This section also provides information on the external connectors required for the RP controller expansion modules and the RP-C-16C-F-230V model. Always use the recommended cables and wires.
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 sizes and maximum cable lengths for the various inputs and outputs of the different RP controller expansion 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 Status LED on the front of the automation devices changes color and flashes to indicate the status of 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.
There are many different kinds of external devices from different vendors that can be connected to an EcoStruxure BMS.
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.
You export an Asset list when you have completed the capture of controller data.
You can use the Asset List Creator feature to capture device information contained in the digital matrix symbol on the tear-off product information label packaged with the BACnet/IP controller. When you scan the data matrix with the Commission mobile application, the Asset List Creator saves this information to a data file that can be exported and used in documenting the physical location of the controller on the job site.
