Differences Between RP-C Hardware Versions

There are a number of differences in hardware between different hardware versions 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.

Table: Differences Between RP-C Hardware Versions

Hardware Feature

SpaceLogic RP-C

  1. The part number and hardware version are shown on the label on the side of the RP-C-12A-F-24V, RP-C-12B-F-24V, RP-C-12C-F-24V, and RP-C-16A-F-230V controllers models. If the side of the device is not accessible, the text on the front can be used to identify the hardware version. For example, “SpaceLogic RP-C” is displayed on devices of hardware version 10 and later, while “SmartX IP Controller” is printed on devices of hardware version 9 and earlier.
  2. 23.5 VDC is required to obtain sufficient output voltage on the RS-485 Com A and Com B ports. Apart from that, the RP-C still works with 23 VDC supply.
  3. In previous hardware versions, the RS-485 Com A and Com B port are labelled “Sensor Bus” and “Room Bus” respectively.
  4. The RS-485 Com A and B ports on RP-C controllers (part numbers SXWRCF12A10002, SXWRCF12B10002, SXWRCF12C10002, and SXWRCF16A10003) of hardware version 10 and later are prepared for BACnet MS/TP (RS-485) network communication through modified pin configuration. An RJ45 to screw terminal block adapter is required to connect the RP-C controller to the BACnet MS/TP network for communication with the AS-P or AS-B server. The adapter can be ordered from Schneider Electric. In addition, a Cat 5 (or higher) UTP cable with RJ45 connectors is required to connect the adapter. The recommended maximum cable length is 0.3 m (12 inches). The cable should be rated for the target environment. The cable is not included with the adapter but needs to be purchased separately.
  5. The RS-485 Com A and B ports on RP-C controllers (part numbers SXWRCF12A10001, SXWRCF12B10001, SXWRCF12C10001, and SXWRCF16A10002) of hardware version 9 and earlier does not support BACnet MS/TP (RS-485) network communication.
  6. The modified rating does not reflect any changes in the hardware design.
