Termination Panels
(RTPs)
221
The Remote Termination Panel (RTP) provides an easy way to connect the
ControlEdge HC900 controller to the field wiring. The RTP integrates some of the
typical externally connected components, reducing wiring and setup time. It also
minimizes the need for multiple wires under a single screw connection by
expanding the connectivity of the shared terminals of the I/O modules.
