Primary controller The controller assigned
address 1.
Secondary controller The controller assigned
address 2.
Bumpless transfer During a controller
switchover no change in
output will occur due to
the switchover.
Ethernet Interface Board
The Ethernet Interface Board supports two
additional serial ports and two Ethernet ports.
See Table 2-4. Ethernet supports 10/100 Mbs
communication. Figure 2-7 shows the Ethernet
TCP/IP Server/Client and Modbus RTU Master/
Slave relationship. For a redundant controller
configuration, the board is required in both
controllers.
Serial Interface Board
The Serial Interface Board supports up to four
additional serial ports. See Table 2-5. For a
redundant controller configuration, the board
is required in both controllers.
EQ2230 RSP
The EQ2230 RSP Surge Protector is a device
that protects the EQP RS-485 Ports (Ports 1
and 2) from surge transients on the RS-485
cable.
ControlNet Board or EtherNet DLR Board
(Optional)
An optional ControlNet Board or EtherNet
Device Level Ring (DLR) Board can be
installed to allow ControlNet or EtherNet
DLR communication to a compatible PLC.
Both interfaces operate in a non-interfering
manner. The functionality of the ControlNet
and EtherNet DLR boards is not covered by
any approval. Both options offer two ports. See
Tables 2-6 and Table 2-7. The interfaces must
be configured through S
3
prior to use. Consult
the factory for details. For redundant controller
configurations, identical option boards are
required in both controllers.
Controller-to-Controller Communication
(SLC485)
The EQP controllers can be configured to
communicate with up to 12 controllers via
RS-485 communication. The controller-to-
controller scheme provides the ability to meet
NFPA 72 SLC requirements with the following
primary features:
