The Schneider Electric hardware devices for the EcoStruxure BMS include terminal bases, PS-24V power supplies, I/O modules, SmartX servers such as SmartX AS-P servers and SmartX AS-B servers, SmartX IP Controller devices such as MP-Cs, MP-Vs, IP-IO modules, and RP-Cs, SmartX Sensors, and ADs.
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).
For more information, see Terminal Bases .
PS-24V is the power supply for the SmartX AS-P servers, Automation Server, and I/O modules. The PS-24V power supply requires an input voltage of either 24 VAC +/–20 % or 24–30 VDC.

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.
For more information, see Automation Servers .
The SmartX AS-P server is the successor to Automation Server, and offers several improvements such as enhanced processor performance, increased memory size, dual Ethernet ports, and high speed USB interfaces. Like the Automation Server, the SmartX 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 SmartX server controls and supervises equipment, typically HVAC equipment. SmartX AS-P servers use I/O modules with connected field devices, such as sensors and actuators, to do that.
For more information, see SmartX AS-P Servers .
By adding a variety of I/O and power supply modules, you can use the SmartX AS-P server or Automation Server to tailor the Intelligent Building Management System to your unique requirements.
For more information, see I/O Modules .
A SmartX AS-B server is a powerful SmartX server that features both onboard I/O and built-in power supply. Like the other SmartX servers, the SmartX AS-B server is a Schneider Electric manufactured embedded device that generally serves as the lowest tier EcoStruxure BMS server within the EcoStruxure BMS. The SmartX server controls and supervises equipment, typically HVAC equipment. The SmartX AS-B server uses its onboard I/O with connected field devices, such as sensors and actuators, to do that.

SmartX IP Controller – MP-C is a multi-purpose, fully programmable, IP based field controller. The MP-C models offer a flexible mix of I/O point types that suits a wide range of HVAC applications. MP-C is a native SmartX device, which can either be used as a standalone BACnet/IP field controller or as part of an EcoStruxure BMS with a SmartX AS-P or AS-B server, or an Enterprise Server, as the parent server.
For more information, see MP-Cs .
SmartX IP Controller – MP-V 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 package for ease of installation. MP-V is a native SmartX device, which can either be used as a standalone BACnet/IP field controller or as part of an EcoStruxure BMS with a SmartX AS-P or AS-B server, or an Enterprise Server, as the parent server.
For more information, see MP-Vs .
The SmartX IP Controller – 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 SmartX servers, SmartX IP controllers, or third-party systems. The IP-IO module can be installed near facilities in the field, away from the SmartX server or the SmartX IP controller.
For more information, see IP-IO Modules .
SmartX IP Controller – RP-C is a room-purpose, fully programmable, IP based field controller. The RP-C models offer a flexible mix of I/O point types that suit a wide range of HVAC applications. The controller can either be used as a standalone BACnet/IP field controller or as part of an EcoStruxure BMS with a SmartX AS-P or AS-B server or an Enterprise Server as the parent server. The RP-C features a wireless chip that allows a mobile device running the eCommission SmartX Controllers mobile application to connect directly to the controller.
For more information, see RP-Cs .
SmartX Sensors are a family of living space sensors designed for SmartX IP controllers using the EcoStruxure Building Operation user interface. These sensors use an RJ-45 sensor bus that provides communication and power from the SmartX IP controller.
For more information, see SmartX Sensors .
The eCommission Bluetooth Adapter is plugged into a SmartX Sensor to provide a wireless Bluetooth connection to the SmartX IP controller (Sensor Bus compliant controller) for commissioning, maintenance, and troubleshooting of the controller and the sensor.
For more information, see eCommission Bluetooth Adapter .
AD v1 provides a Human Machine Interface (HMI) for local access to the EcoStruxure BMS servers.
For more information, see AD v1 .
AD v2 is the successor to AD v1, and offers several improvements such as higher display resolution, enhanced processor performance, and increased memory size. Like AD v1, AD v2 provides a Human Machine Interface (HMI) for local access to the EcoStruxure BMS servers.
For more information, see AD v2 .
SmartX Advanced Display v3 (AD v3) is the successor to AD v2. AD v3 provides an industrial grade Human Machine Interface (HMI), with battery-free power supply, for local access to the EcoStruxure BMS servers.
For more information, see AD v3 .
