EP2500 Intelligent Controller
Installation and S pecifications:
1. General:
The EP2500 intelligent controller provides decision making, event reporting, and database storage for
the Mercury hardware platform.
It communicates with the host via on-board 10-BaseT/100Base-TX Ethernet port or port 1. Port 1 may
be set up as RS-232, 2-wire RS-485 or an optional 10-BaseT/100Base-TX using a Lantronix Micro100
interface daughter board. Subcontrollers are connected via ports 2 and 3 using 2-wire RS-485.
It is recommended that the EP2500 be mounted .25" above any conductive surface.
2. Setting Up the EP2500 Hardware:
