Concept
RP-C Sensor Bus
The RP-C 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 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 RP-C 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.

For the RP-C controller models RP-C-12A-F-24V, RP-C-12B-F-24V, RP-C-12C-F-24V, and RP-C-16A-F-230V, the following description applies only for hardware version 10 and later of the controller. Pour plus d'informations, voir Differences Between RP-C Hardware Versions .
By default, the RP-C controller's RS-485 Com A port is configured and allocated for the sensor bus. Pour plus d'informations, voir RP-C Communication Ports .
The number of RS-485 communication ports and their location differ between different controller models.
You can connect a single SpaceLogic Sensor to the sensor bus, or you can connect up 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 regardless of the sensor model and the combination of cover and sensor base type.
The RS-485 Com port(s) can supply maximum 3000 mW. The following table shows the power consumption for the different SpaceLogic Sensor models, sensor bases, covers, and devices that can be connected to the sensor bus.

- The last character (“n”) of this model number indicates the housing: X (Medium matte white), W (Optimum glass white), or B (Optimum glass black).
- The SpaceLogic resistive temperature sensor is not designed to be connected to the sensor bus, but instead is connected to I/O points/terminals on the BACnet/IP controller using a two-wire connection.
- The fourth character (“n”) of this model number indicates the housing: S (Medium matte white), W (Optimum glass white), or B (Optimum glass black).
- The model number SXWSATXXXRXX is replaced by SLASXXX.
- The SpaceLogic Bluetooth Adapter is only temporarily connected to the SpaceLogic Sensor for commissioning and servicing, so it is not necessary to include the adapter in the power budget.
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 four sensors of any combination of sensor base types
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. Pour plus d'informations, voir SpaceLogic Sensors .
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 4, sensor number 2 can have the address 3, and so on.
