1Introduction

The E2 controller is a microprocessor-based control
system designed to provide complete control of compres­sor groups, condensers, refrigerated cases, and other com­ponents related to refrigeration and building control. The
E2 is the controlling component of a three-network config­uration (RS485 I/O, Echelon
Ethernet) that includes input and output communication
boards, remote communication software, and a variety of
sensors, probes, and transducers.

The E2 efficiently operates all systems that support
refrigeration (including compressor racks and condensers)
and other components not directly related to refrigeration
control, such as HVAC systems, anti-sweat heaters, and
sensor control modules.

1.1 The E2 Refrigeration Controller

The E2 RX is available in three models: the RX-300,
RX-400, and RX-100. The E2 RX-300 is capable of con­trolling a single refrigeration system (including one con­denser and up to four suction groups). The E2 RX-400 is
capable of controlling two separate refrigeration systems
(including two condensers and up to four suction groups).
The RX-100 is a low-cost alternative to the RX-300 with
fewer capabilities and a monochrome display.

The E2 RX is primarily designed to control tempera­ture and defrost in refrigerated cases using either direct
control (connected to the E2 via I/O boards or ESR8
lineup control boards) or by using CC-100 case control
boards (connected via the LonWorks Network).

1.2 The E2 Building Con­troller

The counterpart to the E2 RX is the E2 BX, which con­trols HVAC systems for low-rise retail, industrial, and
commercial buildings. The BX’s primary function is to
provide energy-efficient control of air handling units
(AHUs), rooftop units (RTUs), and other systems related
to environment control. In addition, the BX provides
extensive sensor control, logging, and graphing features
that allow the user to view accurate real-time information
about system conditions. The BX is equipped with many
power monitoring and demand control features that give
you the information you need to keep your site’s energy

1.3 The E2 Convenience Store Controller

The CX controls HVAC, lighting, and refrigeration
systems for convenience store and small-box retail facili­ties. The CX’s primary function is to provide energy-effi­cient control of rooftop units as well as refrigeration and
defrost control of display cases and walk-in boxes. In
addition, the CX provides extensive sensor control, log­ging, and graphing features that allow the user to view
accurate real-time information about system conditions.
The CX is equipped with many power monitoring and
demand control features that give you the information you
need to keep your site’s energy consumption low.

The E2 CX is available in three models: the CX-300,
CX-400, and CX-100. The only significant difference
between the E2 CX-300 and the E2 CX-400 is the amount
of C-Store equipment that may be operated by a single
controller. The CX-100 is a low-cost alternative to the CX­300 with fewer capabilities and a monochrome display.

1.4 Networking Overview

1.4.1 E2 I/O Network

Most of the general purpose input and output commu-

nications devices required by the E2 to control refrigera­tion systems are connected to the E2 via the I/O Network.
The I/O Network is a simple RS485 three-wire connection
that allows data interchange between input boards (which
read sensor values and digital closures), output boards
(which carry out commands from E2’s control applica­tions), and the E2 itself.

The I/O Network is the same thing as the COM A and
COM D Networks found on Retail Solutions’ previous
generation of controllers, REFLECS. This allows current
owners of Retail Solutions’ Refrigeration Monitor and
Control (RMC) or Refrigeration Monitor and Case Control
(RMCC) controllers to easily retrofit with an E2 RX with­out need for re-wiring.

In addition to these, Retail Solutions also offers Echelon­compatible input and output boards similar to those avail­able for the RS485 Network.

Figure 1-2

- E2 RX/BX I/O Network Diagram

Figure 1-2 shows the peripherals that make up the I/O

Network:

• MultiFlex - The MultiFlex line of control system
boards provide a wide variety of input, output, and
smart control solutions, all of which are based on a
single universal hardware platform.

• 8ROSMT - Relay output board - activates and deac­tivates up to eight devices.

• Previous-generation I/O boards, such as 8RO,
8DO, and 4AO - are all still compatible with E2
I/O Network.

1.4.2 The E2 Echelon Lonworks

Network

The E2 is also compatible with a network platform
called Lonworks. This is most commonly referred to as
“the Echelon Network,” after the company who invented
the platform, the Echelon Corporation.

In general, peripherals with control functions — such
as case controllers, rooftop HVAC controllers, and other
E2 RX and BX units — are interconnected on the Echelon
Network. These controllers do most of their own computa-

Figure 1-3 - E2 RX Echelon Network Diagram

Figure 1-3 shows the E2 RX peripherals that commu-

nicate across the Echelon Network:

• CC-100 - Case control board - controls all lights,
fans, defrost, and refrigeration for a single case. The
CC-100 controls pulse or stepper valves to provide
precise evaporator control, resulting in better tem­perature maintenance and energy efficiency.

• ESR8 - Evaporator stepper regulator - the analog
outputs on this board allow the E2 to control circuit
temperature in up to eight circuits using suction­side mounted electronic evaporator pressure regula­tors (EEPRs).

• TD3 - Temperature display - has three inputs that
monitor case temperature, product temperature and
defrost status.

• Third Party Echelon Devices - Echelon® LON­MARK® devices communicate with E2 through its
"Open Echelon" networking feature, and require a
license key and a description file that is loaded into

1.4.3 Interconnection With Other E2s

In large installations where more than one refrigeration

system is present, or where E2s are controlling both refrig­eration and building HVAC systems in the same site, the
E2s share information with each other across either the
Echelon Network or via Ethernet.

2 Hardware Overview

This section gives an overview of the E2, the hard­ware, and how it communicates across the I/O and Eche­lon Networks to control an entire system.

2.1 E2 Hardware

The E2 controller is programmed to monitor and com­mand all aspects of a refrigeration or building environ­mental control system. The E2 uses both an RS485 I/O
Network and a LonWorks Network to gather data from
input devices, communicate with other E2s, and activate
or deactivate loads.

In general, an E2 control network will consist of the
following components:

1. E2 - The “brain” of the control network, which
performs all necessary computations and sends
commands to the output devices that control the
system.

2. Input Boards - Transfer readings to the E2.

3. Output Boards - Banks of relays, digital pulse
outputs, or analog outputs, which the E2 may use
to control loads.

4. Smart Boards - Boards such as case controllers
(for refrigeration) or rooftop controllers (for
building control) that perform control functions
for an individual case or rooftop unit, and send
the data to the E2 for logging and alarm purposes.

5. Modem - For remote communication via phone,
if necessary .

6. Network Wiring - Wiring that connects the E2 to
other E2s, and all the input, output, and smart
boards.

7. Sensors and Loads - The “eyes” and “hands” of
the control network. Sensors “see” what needs to
be controlled on the network, and Loads are what
can be controlled, or more specifically, be turned
on and off, such as compressors, condensers,
lights, and fans.

The Gateway board is an RS485 to RS485 converter.
One side of the Gateway is always connected to the Retail
Solutions I/O Network. The other side of the Gateway is
the receiver bus (RS485). The receiver bus is connected to
one or more RS485 devices depending on which type of
Gateway is being used. The Gateway interfaces devices to
the Einstein/E2 and legacy Retail Solutions controller
(REFLECS) by simulating 16AI and 8RO boards using
Retail Solutions standard I/O board protocol. The Gate­way can also convert third-party controller protocols to
Retail Solutions protocol for custom cells created in the
Einstein/E2 to interface with third-party controllers (Dan­foss, Woodley , etc.).

The Gateway performs one of two basic functions:

1. It allows control of and/or status of a device using
I/O board simulation

2. Converts a third-party protocol to Retail Solu­tions I/O Net protocol and interfaces to a custom
cell in Einstein/E2

2.2.2 MultiFlex Boards

The MultiFlex line of control system boards provides a
wide variety of input, output, and smart control solutions,
all of which are based on a single universal hardware plat­form. The board design uses flash-uploadable firmware
and plug-in expansion boards to configure the base plat­form board and apply it for use as an input board, relay
output board, analog output board, or a combination I/O
board.

2.2.2.1 MultiFlex 16 Input Board

Figure 2-7 - MultiFlex 16 Input Board

The MultiFlex 16 input board offers sixteen combina­tion analog/digital input points for use by Retail Solutions
E2, Einstein, and REFLECS control systems. The Multi­Flex 16 may be used in retrofits with no additional hard­ware or software setup or upgrades.

The MultiFlex 16 is designed to be 100% compatible
with the previous generation of Retail Solutions input

boards (the 16AI),
via an RS485 connection to a REFLECS COM A&D Net­work or an E2 I/O Network. Dip switches on the board set
the network ID (board number) and baud rate.

The board also provides both +5VDC and +12VDC
output voltage points for use in powering transducers or
other input devices that require power.

The MultiFlex 16 has a Hand-held Terminal interface
Section 2.2.4, Hand-held Terminal (P/N 814-3110) that
may be used by technicians to view the input voltage and
engineering unit values for each input point without need
of a voltmeter or front panel controller display.

Table 2-6 sh ows the part number of the MultiFlex 16.

The MultiFlex 16 is designed with several features that

make it easy to install, wire, and configure. These main
user interface features are shown in Figure 2-7.

The MultiFlex combination I/O boards consist of up
to 16 combination digital/analog inputs, and a combina­tion of relay outputs, digital outputs, and analog outputs.

- MultiFlex Combination Input/Output Board (Side

All boards feature both +5VDC and +12VDC output
voltage points for use in powering transducers or other
input devices that require power.

On the RS485 Network, the MultiFlex combination
input/output boards present themselves to Einstein, E2, or
REFLECS site controllers as 16AI Analog Input Boards,
8RO Relay Output Boards, 8DO Digital Output Boards,
and/or 4AO Analog Output Boards, depending on what
type of inputs or outputs are equipped. Dip switches are
used to assign network ID numbers to each board type.

The MultiFlex combination input/output boards also
support a Hand-held Terminal interface, Section 2.2.4,
Hand-held Te rmi nal (P/N 814-3110) which allows techni­cians to view input values, check relay and analog output
states, and override output points with fixed digital or ana­log values. For more information on MultiFlex I/O boards,
refer to the MultiFlex I/O Board Installation and Opera-
tion Manual (P/N 026-1704).

There are several models of the MultiFlex board that
combine the functionalities of input boards, relay output
boards, digital output boards, and analog output boards.
The MultiFlex combination input/output boards are
designed to be replacements for the 8IO Combination
Input/Output Board, but the MultiFlex board provides sev­eral new hardware options and software features.
