There are a number of differences in hardware between different hardware versions of the RP-C-12A-F-24V, RP-C-12B-F-24V, RP-C-12C-F-24V, and RP-C-16A-F-230V controller models.
The RP-C controllers can be reconfigured to communicate with automation servers based on the BACnet MS/TP protocol, instead of the BACnet/IP protocol.
You wire the screw terminals on a Non-isolated RS-485 Adapter to connect an RP or MP controller to a BACnet MS/TP (RS-485) network or Modbus RTU (RS-485) subnetwork. Always use the recommended wires.
You connect a Non-isolated RS-485 Adapter (via a separate connection cable) to an RP or MP controller to convert the controller RS-485 RJ45 interface to screw terminals, which is required to connect the controller to a BACnet MS/TP (RS-485) network or a Modbus RTU (RS-485) subnetwork. You use a Non-isolated RS-485 Adapter (SXWNISORS48510001) when the BACnet MS/TP network includes non-isolated controllers, such as the b3 BACnet family of zone controllers, and when the Modbus RTU subnetwork includes Modbus devices that are non-isolated or isolated.
The Non-isolated RS-485 Adapter is equipped with an RJ45 port for connection to an RP or MP controller RS-485 Com port and a 4-position removable screw terminal block for connection to a BACnet MS/TP (RS-485) network or Modbus RTU (RS-485) subnetwork.
The Non-isolated RS-485 Adapter (SXWNISORS48510001) is used when connecting an RP or MP controller to the following networks:
You wire the screw terminals on an RS-485 Power Adapter to connect a BACnet/IP controller (RP or MP controller) to an RS-485 bus. Always use the recommended wires.
You wire the screw terminals on an Isolated RS-485 Adapter to connect a BACnet/IP controller to a BACnet MS/TP (RS-485) network. Always use the recommended wires.
Wireless Adapter - Advanced is a USB-based wireless adapter that enables ZigbeeTM wireless connectivity with an RP controller, AS-P server, or AS-B server, extending the controller's or server's point count and bringing flexibility in retrofit applications.
Running the Commission mobile application on a Windows laptop computer, you can connect directly to an Ethernet port on a networked BACnet/IP controller, or use an Ethernet switch to connect to a group of controllers.
