The MP-C controller 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 SpaceLogic device, which can either be used as a standalone BACnet/IP field controller or as part of an EcoStruxure BMS with a AS-P or AS-B server, or an Enterprise Server, as the parent server.
MP-C allows for flexible control solutions due to the dual Ethernet ports, the interface to SpaceLogic Sensor devices, and the versatile mix of universal inputs/outputs, triac outputs, relay outputs, and high power relay outputs.
When MP-Cs are part of an EcoStruxure BMS, you can take full advantage of the existing EcoStruxure Building Operation engineering tools.
The MP-C can be installed on a DIN rail or other flat surface inside a cabinet.
All MP-C models can be equipped with MP-C Display, which is an optional add-on module for output override. The MP-C Display can also be used to view and locally configure inputs and outputs.
The MP-C comes in five models with different I/O point count and different I/O point mix.

The MP-C models offer a versatile mix of I/O point types that match a wide variety of applications. Most of the I/O points are universal inputs/outputs, which are highly flexible and can be configured as either inputs or outputs.

BACnet/IP devices have three types of memory:
Flash memory: for boot loader, operating system, application software, and configuration storage
RAM: for runtime operation
FRAM non-volatile memory: for data retention in the case of power outage

Using WorkStation, you can update the firmware of multiple BACnet/IP devices and their attached SpaceLogic Sensor devices at the same time with minimum downtime. In particular, the universal upgrade package simplifies the update process and requires minimal user involvement and coordination.
SpaceLogic Sensor devices are supported by the BACnet/IP controllers - MP and RP controllers.
