Connecting RP Controller Expansion Modules to an RP Controller

You connect RP controller expansion modules to the RP controller room bus to provide the devices with power and communication from the controller.

Показать больше
action_close

The RP controller room bus allows RP controller expansion modules to be connected to the controller for people counting, motion detection, luminosity and sound pressure level measurements, Bluetooth Low Energy based applications, and control of electric lights and window blinds.

Примечание

RP controller models with “-M” in the product name do not support the room bus.

The maximum total length of the room bus is 72 m (236 ft). The room 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 RP controller is installed in a space that handles conditioned air or return air, the room bus cables and IP network cables frequently must be plenum-rated to meet applicable building codes. Более подробную информацию см. Wiring . 

Примечание

LOSS OF COMMUNICATION

  • Ensure that the total length of the room bus does not exceed 72 m (236 ft).

  • Use a Cat 5 or higher unshielded twisted pair cable with eight conductors (four twisted pairs), a cross-sectional area of 22 to 26 AWG (0.34 to 0.14 mm 2 ), and a rating that meets the requirements of the target environment.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in loss of communication.

By default, the RP-C controller's RS-485 Com B port is configured and allocated for the room bus. Более подробную информацию см. RP-C Communication Ports .

Примечание

The number of RS-485 communication ports and their location differ between different controller models.

Restrictions for Connecting RP Controller Expansion Modules to the RP-C Room Bus

The maximum number of RP controller expansion modules that can be connected to the RP-C room bus, and the restrictions that apply to certain types of the modules, vary depending on the RP-C controller model. In this respect, the RP-C controller models are divided in the following two categories:

  • RP-C Advanced: RP-C-12A-F-24V, RP-C-12B-F-24V, RP-C-12C-F-24V, and RP-C-16A-F-230V

  • RP-C Pro and RP-C Pro Plus: RP-C-16B-F-24V, RP-C-16B-F-230V, and RP-C-16C-F-230V

Более подробную информацию см. RP-C Models .

Примечание

The restrictions listed below only apply to Connected Room Solutions for Buildings. For Connected Room Solutions for Hotels, it is recommended to use the RP-C Pro controller. For additional information on what restrictions apply to Connected Room Solutions for Hotels, see the supplementary document Architecture Guidelines – Hotel Application.

RP-C-12A-F-24V, RP-C-12B-F-24V, RP-C-12C-F-24V, and RP-C-16A-F-230V

To the room bus of the RP-C-12A-F-24V, RP-C-12B-F-24V, RP-C-12C-F-24V, and RP-C-16A-F-230V controller models, you can connect a single RP controller expansion module, or you can connect up to six devices in a daisy-chain configuration.

Примечание

When connecting devices to the RP controller room bus through a daisy-chain configuration, the room bus ports on the device are interchangeable.

The RP-C room bus supports up to six connected RP controller expansion modules with the following restrictions:

  • Maximum of two DALI light modules

  • Maximum of two SMI blind modules

  • Maximum of four Multi-sensor or Insight-Sensor devices

Рисунок: Example of supported combination of RP controller expansion modules on the RP-C room bus

Each RP controller expansion module has a rotary switch, which is used to give the device a unique address on the room bus. An RP controller expansion module can be given any address in the range of 1 to 6. Configuring the address 0 means that the device enters maintenance mode and goes offline. Configuring an address in the range of 7 to 9 also means that the device goes offline. Более подробную информацию см. RP Controller Expansion Module Room Bus Addressing . An incorrectly configured switch can cause two devices to have the same address on the room bus, which means that both devices will be offline.

Примечание

LOSS OF COMMUNICATION

Ensure that the rotary switch on the RP controller expansion module is configured to give the device a unique room bus address in the range of 1 to 6.

Do not connect an Ethernet cable from the controller's RS-485 Com A port or RS-485 Com B port directly to an external Ethernet switch or router.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.

To connect RP controller expansion modules to an RP controller

  1. Install the RP controller expansion module and connect a Cat 5 (or higher) unshielded, straight-through wired cable with eight conductors (four twisted pairs) to one of the two RJ45 receptacles on the module. Use a cable with the wire size (cross-sectional area) 22 to 26 AWG (0.34 to 0.14 mm²).

     
    action_zoom_plus_stroke

  2. Connect the other end of the cable to the RP controller's RS-485 port that is configured for the room bus.

    Примечание

    By default, the RS-485 Com B port is configured for the room bus.

     
    action_zoom_plus_stroke

  3. When an additional RP controller expansion module is needed, install the device and connect the other end of the cable to the unused RJ45 receptacle on the previous module.

    Примечание

    When connecting devices to the RP controller room bus through a daisy-chain configuration, the room bus ports on the device are interchangeable.

     
    action_zoom_plus_stroke

  4. Repeat step 3 to install additional devices up to the maximum number of devices of the supported combination of RP controller expansion modules.

    The maximum total number of devices and the restrictions that apply to the number of certain types of modules vary depending on the RP controller model. Более подробную информацию см. RP-C Room Bus .Более подробную информацию см. RP-V Room Bus .

  5. Ensure that the rotary switch on each RP controller expansion module is configured to give the device a unique room bus address in the range supported by the RP controller model.
