2-Series Integrated Control Processor: CP2/CP2E
Introduction
Features and Functions
Crestron’s CP2 and CP2E 2-Series Integrated Control Processors, cost-competitive
options in Crestron's 2-Series line of integrated control systems, are designed for
smaller home and commercial network systems. Like all Crestron control processors,
the CP2 and CP2E units house the control system software program and provide
connectivity for communication and control of all devices on the network. The CP2E
is functionally identical to the CP2, with the exception that it also provides LAN and
Web access through its built-in 10/100 BaseT Ethernet port, which supports
dynamic/static IP addressing and full-duplex TCP/IP and UDP/IP protocols.
With speed, power, and massive memory, the 2-Series control systems are ideal for
enhanced applications like media help desks, videoconferencing, distance learning,
and entertainment facilities.

bit Motorola ColdFire processor. The 2-Series operating system is vastly upgraded
from Crestron’s X-generation products, yet compatible with existing Crestron
software and programming. A key feature is the new Crestron Compiler, which
allows any existing Crestron SIMPL™ Windows
control program to be easily
recompiled for the 2-Series. The real-time, preemptive multi-tasking/multi-threaded
operating system offers a file system that supports long file names. The enhanced
SIMPL+™ instruction set is also fully compatible with existing Crestron SIMPL
Windows and SIMPL+ programs.

NOTE: The orientation of this connector is “upside down” compared to other
Crestron network devices (e.g., CNX-BIPAD8, CNX-RMCLV). Be sure the mating
Cresnet cable connector is properly aligned before attempting to insert it, to avoid
damage to the CP2/CP2E unit.
This connector (typical Crestron network port labeled G Z Y 24) is used for
expansion to Cresnet and SmarTouch peripherals. This connector can also serve as a
24W power source to the network when CP2/CP2E unit power is supplied through
the 24VDC power supply connector by an optional AC power pack (purchased
separately); otherwise, power to the unit is supplied through this connector. There is
a 24W maximum load rating for power output. Refer to “Network Wiring” on page
11 for details.
COM (A – C)
COM A
COM B
COM C
These three DB9 (male) software programmable, bi-directional serial ports are
available for RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 communication, with hardware and
software handshaking. Speeds are rated up to 115,200 bps. All three ports are
Cresnet Accelerator ready. The Cresnet Poll Accelerator effectively increases the
network speed, fan-out, and device addresses by a factor of 8 for each Poll
Accelerator added to the system.
NOTE: The pinout of each 9-pin port is non-standard (refer to the table after these
notes, titled "Non-Standard COM Pinout"); it contains RS-422 pins in addition to
RS-232. This may result in a conflict with some equipment and therefore all nine
pins should not be used. Only the required pins for each communication type should
be connected. For RS-232 and –422, pins 2, 3, 5, 7, and 8 are wired straight through.
NOTE: Data Set Ready (DSR) and Data Terminal Ready (DTR) are not supported.
NOTE: To support RS-485, tie pin 1 (RXD-) to pin 9 (TXD-) and pin 4 (TXD+) to
pin 6 (RXD+) in the cable (refer to the table after this note, titled "COM Pinout to
RS-485 Bus".

24VDC
2.0A
This male connector can be used to supply 24VDC power to the CP2/CP2E from an
AC power pack purchased separately. (Refer to Optional Power Supply on page 13).
When power is supplied to the units through this connector, 24VDC, 24W is also
available to other Cresnet system devices through the NET connector. This is
typically done in small installations. In large system configurations, power is usually
supplied through Cresnet wiring to the NET connector.
NOTE: Use care in wiring installations to avoid applying 24 VDC power to Cresnet
wiring from an AC power pack as well as from a system device that contains its own
power supply. Although this condition should not cause any damage, Crestron does
not recommend it. In those network configurations that require more power than can
be supplied by Crestron’s Power Control Unit alone, disconnect the +24 VDC
Cresnet wire from those devices that will be powered by an AC power pack.

Memory
The CP2/CP2E has 36MB of built-in memory (non-volatile and volatile). A total of
36MB is broken down as follows: 4MB flash (non-volatile), 32MB DRAM
(volatile), and 256KB NVRAM. Flash memory contains the file system inside the 2-
Operations Guide - DOC. 5980 2-Series Integrated Control Processor: CP2/CP2E• 7

series control engine. Non-volatile memory contains information that is retained after
loss of electrical power. Volatile memory is lost after a power failure. Refer to the
lists below for a breakdown of memory usage for program-related information stored
in the unit.
Flash
The 4MB flash memory consists of approximately 1.5MB used for firmware, and
approximately 2.5MB available for SIMPL, SIMPL+, and Web pages. The files that
reside in flash conform to a flat directory structure. The following table presents the
structure of the overall file system.

5. Signals explicitly written to NVRAM (by symbols such as Analog
RAM, Analog RAM from database, Serial RAM, Serial RAM from
database, Analog Non-volatile Ramp, Digital RAM, etc.)
NOTE: If you extract NVRAM values to a file (Viewport, File transfer | Save
NVRAM to File), to simplify restoring them in the event of file corruption or to
distribute to identical control systems, remember that NVRAM values are position
sensitive in the program. When saving the NVRAM is crucial to your application, it
is recommended to place all symbols and/or modules that use NVRAM at the
beginning of your program. When NVRAM (.nvr file) is re-installed, all the values
should line up with the program. If the program is modified, and logic is placed
before any symbols using NVRAM, the previously stored values will not line up and
your presets will have to be re-entered
Volatile
1. Digital, analog and serial signal values
2. SIMPL+ Variables (Default if no options are specified, or if "volatile"
qualifier is used, or #DEFAULT_VOLATILE is used)
