This section outlines the recommended cables and wires, specifying the appropriate wire sizes and lengths for the Central IO modules.
An Automation Server is a Schneider Electric manufactured embedded device that generally serves as the lowest tier EcoStruxure BMS server within the EcoStruxure BMS. The Automation Server controls and supervises equipment, typically HVAC equipment. The Automation Server uses I/O modules with connected field devices, such as sensors and actuators, to do that.
Use the power budget to calculate the maximum number of devices that the power supply can supply. If more devices are used, additional power supplies must be added to the I/O bus.
The wiring recommendations provide guidance regarding wiring of the I/O modules, SmartX servers, and MP Series controllers.
You can wire a terminal base prior to installing an electronics module.
The terminal bases are used for SmartX devices that are based on the patented two-piece design. The terminal base provides the I/O bus to the electronics module installed on the terminal base as well as to the SmartX device installed to the right (next terminal base in the chain).
The Status LED on the front of the SmartX devices changes color and flashes to indicate the status of the device.
You print an I/O wiring list for the I/O bus that describes which I/O points are associated with each I/O module. You use the printed copy of this list to help wire the I/O bus network.
You print labels to identify I/O channels on the placard of an I/O module much the same way you label circuits on an electrical panel. You accept the default names for the I/O point labels or customize the I/O point names for your own application.
You perform the following steps to power up a device.
