1 Introduction

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® LonworksNetworks, and 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.

Figure 1-1 - E2 Controller

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).

Table 1-1 shows the differences between capabilities

for the RX-300 and RX-400.

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

consumption low.

The E2 BX is available in two models: the BX-300 and BX-400. The only significant difference between the E2 BX-300 and the E2 BX-400 is the total number of building control devices that may be operated by a single controller. Table 1-2 shows the differences between capabilities for the BX-300 and BX-400.

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-effi- cient 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. Table 1-3 shows the differences between capabilities for the CX-300 and CX-400.

1.4Networking Overview

1.4.1E2 I/O Network

Most of the general purpose input and output communications 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 Echelon-

Refer to this manual for more information on the Flexible Combiner application.

Facility Status Display (FSD) Installation and Operation Manual (P/N 026-1400) - The FSD reports alarm information and more, (such as temperatures, occupancy, case status, and setpoints) and provides a centralized device for store personnel to review information by communicating with the E2 via Ethernet connectivity (minimum E2 firmware rev. 2.68F01). Refer to this manual for more information on the Status Display application.

Square D Smart Breaker Control Manual (P/N 026-1711) - The Smart Breaker products are designed to allow the Retail Solutions family of site controllers to command control panels (minimum E2 firmware rev. 2.71F01). A breaker panel generally consists of a series of circuit breakers that are

flipped from OFF to ON and from ON to OFF by commands sent from E2 through MODBUS or a Square D Smart Breaker Gateway board. Refer to this manual for more information on the Square D Breaker Panel application.

Eaton Breaker Control Manual (P/N 026-1709) -

E2 can communicate directly with Eaton's Breaker Control Bus (BCB) modules. Communication with the E2 (minimum E2 firmware rev. 2.82) will enable users to access features such as Time Schedules, Enhanced Lighting, and Logging, with the the added capabilities of dial-out on failure and offsite remote connection, specifically with UltraSite32 and Site Manager to the breaker panel. The Eaton Breaker Panel controller is a licensed application available in the E2 300 and 400 model controllers. Refer to this manual for more information on the Square D Breaker Panel application.

Energy Meter Manual (P/N 026-1726) - The Energy Meter provides a solution for measuring energy data with a single device. Inputs include Control Power, CT, and 3-phase voltage. The Energy Meter supports multiple output options, including solid state relay contacts, Modbus (with or without data logging), and pulse. The LCD screen on the faceplate allows instant output viewing.

iPro DAC (P/N 026-1727) - The iPro DAC is a packaged HVAC control board for use either as a stand-alone controller or in zone control applications using a Retail Solutions E2 BX building control system. The iPro DAC is capable of controlling heat and cool stages, fans, humidification and dehumidification devices and economizers using onboard I/O and control algorithms, as well as monitor and interact with other building control systems and peripherals (such as smoke alarms and CO2 sensors).

1.6 On-Line Help System

Overview

The E2 On-Line Help is the primary source frontpanel/interface users will have to consult when seeking instruction on properties, screens, menus, and troubleshooting of hardware/software problems. The on-line help topics are designed to minimize the time the user would otherwise have to spend searching through the manual to

find information. Press + keys to open the General Help menu.

On-Line Help System Overview

Introduction 1-7

To use on-line help from any screen in the E2 front panel interface, simply press the E2’s permanent Helpkey. This opens a pop-up window containing either information about the screen or menu you are currently on, or information about the input, output, or setpoint you have highlighted with the cursor (if available). After the Help key has been pressed, will open the General Help menu containing Troubleshooting options.

1.7Software Licensing

Some applications in the E2 are available only when activated with a unique license key that is obtained through Retail Solutions. Software licensing (see Section 10.15, License Management) allows the user to activate certain features in the E2, such as Web Services and thirdparty controllers. Call your Retail Solutions sales representative at 770-425-2724 for more information about software licensing.

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 com-

 

mand all aspects of a refrigeration or building environ-

 

mental 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

 

Figure 2-1 - E2 Front Panel

 

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.

Figure 2-6 - Gateway Board

I/O Network Boards and Peripherals

Hardware Overview 2-3

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

2.2.2MultiFlex 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.

2.2.2.1MultiFlex 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), communicates with the site controller 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 shows 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.

2.2.2.2 MultiFlex Combination Input/ Output Boards

Figure 2-8 - MultiFlex Combination Input/Output Board (Side

View)

Figure 2-9 - MultiFlex Combination Input/Output Board (Top View)

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.

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.

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 Terminal (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 Operation Manual (P/N 026-1704).
