The MP controller sensor bus allows SpaceLogic Sensor devices to be connected to the controller.
The sensor bus is a proprietary RS-485 bus, which provides both 24 VDC power supply (2 W) and communications for the sensors.
The maximum total length of the sensor bus is 61 m (200 ft). The sensor bus uses a Cat 5 (or higher) unshielded, straight-through wired cable with eight conductors (four twisted pairs) and RJ45 connectors. The wire size (cross-sectional area) should be 22 to 26 AWG (0.34 to 0.14 mm²). When the MP controller is installed in a space that handles conditioned air or return air, the sensor bus cables and IP network cables frequently must be plenum-rated to meet applicable building codes.

You can connect a single SpaceLogic Sensor to the sensor bus, or you can connect two to four SpaceLogic Sensor devices in a daisy-chain configuration.
When connecting SpaceLogic Sensor devices to the sensor bus through a daisy-chain configuration, the sensor bus ports on the SpaceLogic Sensor are interchangeable.
The maximum number of SpaceLogic Sensor devices that can be connected to the sensor bus is variable depending on the power consumption for the selected SpaceLogic Sensor model and the combination of cover and sensor base type.
When calculating the power consumption to validate your sensor bus configuration, ensure that you add the power consumption (mW) for all SpaceLogic Sensor models, sensor bases, covers, and devices used on the sensor bus to determine the total power consumption. The sensor bus can supply maximum 2000 mW. SpaceLogic Sensor combinations totalling more than 2000 mW are not supported. The following table can be used for calculating the total power consumption.

To summarize the power conditions, the sensor bus supports the following key SpaceLogic Sensor combinations:
Blank covers: Up to four sensors of any combination of sensor base types
3-button and touchscreen covers:
Up to two sensor bases with CO 2 option
Up to four sensor bases without CO 2 option
SpaceLogic LCD temperature sensors: Up to four sensors are supported
Each SpaceLogic Sensor has two 2-position DIP switches, which are used to give the sensor a unique address on the sensor bus. An incorrectly configured or improper DIP switch can cause two sensors to have the same address on the sensor bus, which means that both sensors will be offline.

SpaceLogic Sensor devices connected to the sensor bus through a daisy-chain configuration can be assigned addresses regardless of the order in which the sensors appear in the daisy chain. For example, sensor number 1 can have the address 6, sensor number 2 can have the address 4, and so on.
