This section provides grounding and power recommendations for system configurations with Central IO modules and PS-24V units.
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.
For Central IO modules with outputs, the following components on the front provide control of the output channels:
The AS-P server offers enhanced processor performance, increased memory size, dual Ethernet ports, and high-speed USB interfaces. The AS-P server is a Schneider Electric manufactured embedded device that generally serves as the lowest tier EcoStruxure BMS server within the EcoStruxure BMS. The AS-P controls and supervises equipment, typically HVAC equipment. AS-P servers use Central IO module with connected field devices, such as sensors and actuators, to do that.
The EcoStruxure Building Operation software supports the major communication protocols in building automation and security management.
The UI-16 Central IO module is a universal input, 16-channel I/O module. Each channel has a dedicated status two-color LED that provides local monitoring of digital, counter, and supervised input types. The front panel shows the module status LED and the I/O channel status LEDs.
The RTD-DI-16 module is an RTD temperature, RTD resistive, digital, counter, or resistive input, 16-channel I/O module. Each channel has a dedicated two-color (red and green) status LED.
You install a terminal base on a horizontal DIN-rail prior to connecting it to its neighboring terminal bases.
Input modules support a single electrical type, such as digital or universal inputs. The available input modules include the following:
The devices are designed mainly for installing on DIN rails in a cabinet.
