80 JUPITER CM-4400 Control Module Installation and Operating Manual
Section 2 — Hardware Installation
Connection to Automation and Other Systems
The following refers to all automation-to-CM-4400 systems. The CM-4400
will support multiple connections to an automation system. For example,
“channel A control” of an automation system could be connected to Serial
Port 1 of the CM-4400 and “channel B control” connected to Serial Port 2).
CM-4400s can be installed as a redundant pair where each monitors the
ot
her. If a fault is detected in the [active] master unit, control will be
switched to the other device automatically.
Connection to Devices Using the “ESswitch” ESbus Routing switcher
Dialect
“ESswitch” protocol is set on the Serial Protocol table and the control com-
puter is identified on the MPK Devices table (for mor
e information about
Configuration tables, see The Configurator Application on page 107).
