RP-C-EXT-BL-4-HV-PD

The RP-C-EXT-BL-4-HV-PD blind module connects to the RP-C room controllers and provides I/O expansion for high-voltage blind control.

The high-voltage blind module enables control and power supply (230 VAC) of motorized window blinds and shutters.

The blind module is part of the RP Series expansion modules for connected room solution and can be combined with other modules from this product range.

High-Voltage Blind Outputs

The high-voltage blind modules have four Blind outputs for control of motorized window blinds that are powered by AC mains voltage (230 VAC).

For more information, see High-Voltage Blind Outputs .

RP Series Expansion Module Digital Inputs

The RP Series expansion modules have four digital inputs, which can be used for sensing of dry contact digital inputs in applications such as interfacing with light switches and window contacts.

For more information, see RP Series Expansion Module Digital Inputs .

RP Series Expansion Module and Multi-sensor Memory

RP Series expansion modules and multi-sensor have two types of memory, flash memory and RAM.

For more information, see RP Series Expansion Module and Multi-sensor Memory .

RP Series Expansion Module and Multi-sensor Communication Ports

The RP Series expansion modules and multi-sensors have two room bus ports (RJ45 receptacles), which enable connection to the RP-C controller and other expansion modules and multi-sensors on the room bus through a daisy-chain configuration.

For more information, see RP-C Room Bus .

RP Series Expansion Module and Multi-sensor Address Switch

Each RP Series expansion module and multi-sensor has a rotary switch, which is used to give the device a unique address on the room bus.

For more information, see RP-C Room Bus .

RP-C Room Bus

The RP-C room bus allows RP Series expansion modules and multi-sensors to be connected to the controller for motion detection, luminosity measurements, communication with remote control (RP-C-RC-BLE), and control of electric lights and window blinds.

For more information, see RP-C Room Bus .

RP Series Expansion Module Pluggable Connectors

The RP Series expansion modules have PCB mounted connectors for the power input, outputs and digital inputs. The connectors are mechanically keyed and color-coded, which allows the matching external connectors to be plugged in on site quickly and easily.

For more information, see RP Series Expansion Module Pluggable Connectors .

RP Series Expansion Module LEDs

There is one or more LEDs on the front panel of the RP Series expansion modules.

For more information, see RP Series Expansion Module LEDs .

RP Series Expansion Module Set Button

All RP Series expansion modules have a Set button on the front. The Set button is reserved for future use.

For more information, see RP Series Expansion Module Set Button .

RP Series Expansion Module Device Installation

The RP Series expansion module can be installed on a DIN rail or flat surface.

For more information, see RP Series Expansion Module Device Installation .

Wiring

The wiring recommendations provide guidance regarding wiring of the I/O modules, SmartX servers, SmartX IP Controller devices, and RP Series expansion modules and multi-sensors.

For more information, see Wiring .

RP Series Expansion Module and Multi-sensor Maintenance Modes

The RP Series expansion modules and multi-sensors support different modes that can be used for maintenance purposes.

For more information, see RP Series Expansion Module and Multi-sensor Maintenance Modes .

SmartX IP Controller Device Firmware Management

Using WorkStation, you can update the firmware of multiple SmartX IP Controller devices and their attached SmartX Sensors, RP Series 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.

Tip:

SmartX Sensors, RP Series expansion modules, and multi-sensors are supported by the SmartX IP Controller - RP Series.

For more information, see SmartX IP Controller Device Firmware Management .
