Concept
SmartX AS-P Servers
The SmartX AS-P server offers enhanced processor performance, increased memory size, dual Ethernet ports, and high-speed USB interfaces. 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.
SmartX AS-P servers are based on the patented two-piece design. Each SmartX AS-P server consists of an electronics module and a terminal base.
The SmartX AS-P server is installed with the I/O modules on DIN rails in cabinets. The SmartX AS-P server electronics module uses a W1 enclosure. Power is supplied through the terminal base backplane.
Electronics Modules
The electronics module is the main component of SmartX devices that are based on the patented two-piece design. The electronics module is installed on a terminal base, which constitutes the second component of the device.
For more information, see Electronics Modules .
Terminal Bases
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 .
Memory
A SmartX AS-P server has two types of memory:
512 MB DDR3 SDRAM (for program execution)
4 GB eMMC memory (for storage)
If a power outage occurs, all important variables are automatically saved to the eMMC memory before complete shutdown. When power returns, this data retention function helps ensure that the SmartX AS-P server can continue to run with the correct set of values.
Supported Building Standards
The SmartX AS-P server natively communicates with three of the most popular communication protocols:
BACnet: The SmartX AS-P server directly communicates to BACnet/IP and BACnet MS/TP networks, which provides access to MP Series controllers, b3 BACnet devices, and BACnet devices.
LonWorks: The SmartX AS-P server has a built-in FTT-10 port, which enables access to Xenta devices and LonWorks devices.
Modbus: The SmartX AS-P server natively integrates Modbus RS-485 master and slave configurations, as well as IP client and server. This integration provides access to devices that communicate on the Modbus protocol, such as power meters, circuit breakers, and lighting controllers.
The SmartX AS-P server model AS-P-NL does not support LonWorks.
SmartX AS-P Server Communication Ports
A SmartX AS-P server has the following communication ports:
2 Ethernet 10/100 megabit ports
2 RS-485 ports
2 LonWorks (TP/FT and RS-485) ports (not available on AS-P-NL model)
1 USB host port
1 USB device port
1 backplane I/O bus port
For more information, see SmartX AS-P Server Communication Ports .
SmartX AS-P Server Screw Terminals
There are pluggable screw terminals at the top of a SmartX AS-P server.
For more information, see SmartX AS-P Server Screw Terminals .
SmartX AS-P Server LEDs
There are several LEDs on the front panel of a SmartX AS-P server.
For more information, see SmartX AS-P Server LEDs .
Reset Functions
There are four different types of reset for the SmartX servers: warm start, cold start, reset, and reset to DFU mode. Depending on the type of reset, the SmartX server can be reset using the reset button or a command from WorkStation.
For more information, see SmartX Server Reset Functions .
Communication Port Wiring
The wiring recommendations for the communication ports on the SmartX servers and SmartX IP Controller devices apply to wires and cables used for RS-485 communications, LonWorks communications, USB connections, Ethernet connections, and Sensor Bus connections. Always use the recommended cables and wires.
For more information, see Communication Port Wiring .
SmartX AS-P Server Software
Before you engineer a SmartX AS-P server, install the SmartX AS-P server software on the server using Device Administrator. The software is not pre-loaded on the SmartX AS-P servers.
For more information, see Installing SmartX AS-P or SmartX AS-B Software .
SmartX Server Replacement Using Restore
Backup and Restore helps assure that SmartX server data can be restored to a replacement SmartX server in the event of detected failure, or to the same SmartX server in the event of data loss. As a precaution, you back up your SmartX servers regularly so that you can use the most current backup to restore the SmartX server data to a replacement SmartX server. You also configure the new SmartX server to match the name and the network settings of the replaced SmartX server so the system can identify this SmartX server when online.

Internal Configuration
All serial communication ports of the SmartX AS-P server module refer to signal ground as shown in the figure below.
The SmartX AS-P server model AS-P-NL does not have LonWorks (LON) communication ports.
The I/O bus in the terminal base provides the SmartX AS-P server module with power and an address.
The address value in the I/O bus is increased by one for each terminal base. The I/O bus also enables RS-485 communication between the I/O module and the SmartX server.
