BACnet/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 an 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.
The RP-C allows for flexible control solutions due to the dual Ethernet ports, the interface to SpaceLogic Sensor devices, the interface for support of Connected Room Solution (CRS) devices, and the versatile mix of universal inputs/outputs, solid-state relay (SSR) outputs, relay outputs, and high power relay outputs.
When RP-Cs are part of an EcoStruxure BMS, you can take full advantage of the existing EcoStruxure Building Operation engineering tools.
The RP-C comes in four different models, which offer four different sets of I/O point types, named 12A, 12B, 12C, and 16A.

The RP-C-12A, -12B, -12C, and -16A models provide 12 or 16 I/O points, consisting of four different sets of I/O point types. The versatile mix of I/O point types match a wide variety of applications. The universal inputs/outputs are highly flexible and can be configured as either inputs or outputs.

The RP-C-12A, -12B, and -12C models have a built-in power supply designed to accommodate a nominal operating voltage of 24 VAC at 50/60 Hz or 24 to 30 VDC input power. The RP-C-16A model's power supply is designed for a nominal operating voltage of 230 VAC at 50/60 Hz.

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

One of the cornerstones of the EcoStruxure BMS is support for open standards. As a result, the BACnet/IP controller complies with the BACnet open standard, one of the most popular standards for buildings.

The RP-C provides the following combination of communication ports:
Two Ethernet ports
Two USB ports
Two RS-485 ports

The RP-C Modbus network allows standard Modbus devices and the KNX Modbus gateway (RP-C-EXT-KNX) to be connected to the controller.
Für weitere Informationen siehe RP-C Modbus .
The RP-C has fixed screw terminals for the power input, SSR outputs, relay outputs, high power relay outputs, and universal inputs/outputs.

The RP-C-16A model has a 24 VAC (19 VA) Class 2 output that can be used to power external loads such as actuators, relays, or indicators. The external loads can be controlled using the controller's solid-state relay (SSR) or relay outputs.

Using WorkStation, you can update the firmware of multiple BACnet/IP devices and their attached SpaceLogic Sensor devices, RP controller expansion modules, and multi-sensors 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, RP controller expansion modules, and multi-sensors are supported by the RP controller.
