Crestron CP2/CP2E 2-Series Integrated Control Processor 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.
2-Series Integrated Control Processor Crestron CP2/CP2E 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.
Crestron CP2/CP2E 2-Series Integrated Control Processor Physical Description The CP2/CP2E integrated control systems are housed in black enclosures with labeling on the front and rear panels. The front panels of both units include standard LEDs and two reset buttons. All connections to the units are made through their rear panels. The front panels of the CP2 and CP2E are shown below. Front and Rear Panels The front panels of the CP2 and CP2E are shown below.
2-Series Integrated Control Processor Crestron CP2/CP2E Controls and Indicators The CP2/CP2E front panel indicators and controls are described below. PWR (Power) This LED illuminates when the unit is connected to and receives 24VDC power from an AC power pack or the Cresnet NET connector. NET This LED illuminates when the central processing unit is processing or communicating with Cresnet devices (i.e., button pressed at Cresnet panel or data received from Cresnet panel).
Crestron CP2/CP2E 2-Series Integrated Control Processor 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.

Each output is labeled S (signal) and G (ground). Infrared output is rated up to 1.2 MHz, at data rates up to 115K. Serial protocols include one-way RS-232.
Crestron CP2/CP2E 2-Series Integrated Control Processor 24VDC, 2.0A (Power Supply) 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.
2-Series Integrated Control Processor Crestron CP2/CP2E 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.
Crestron CP2/CP2E 2-Series Integrated Control Processor DRAM DRAM is used by the operating system for dynamic storage of variables, signals and other constructs used at runtime. The actual amount of DRAM used at any given time depends on the particular program that is running, i.e., usage is variable, or dynamic, during normal operation.
2-Series Integrated Control Processor Crestron CP2/CP2E Ear Attachment for Rack Mounting (CP2E shown in illustration) 1. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove and retain the three side screws closest to the front panel. 2. Position a rack ear so that its mounting holes align with the vacated holes, and secure the ear to the unit with the three screws from step 1 3. Repeat the procedure to attach the remaining ear to the opposite side.
Crestron CP2/CP2E 2-Series Integrated Control Processor 5. Secure the wires connected to the terminal block with a tie wrap around the bussing strip to provide strain relief. Network Wiring NOTE: When making wire connections, refer to the latest revision of the Cresnet Network Interconnect Drawing (Doc. 5411).

2-Series Integrated Control Processor Crestron CP2/CP2E Wire Gauge Values RESISTANCE (R) WIRE GAUGE 4 16 6 18 10 20 15 22 13 Doubled CAT5 8.7 Tripled CAT5 NOTE: When daisy-chaining Cresnet units, strip the ends of the wires carefully to avoid nicking the conductors. Twist together the ends of the wires that share a pin on the network connector, and tin the twisted connection. Apply solder only to the ends of the twisted wires. Avoid tinning too far up the wires or the end becomes brittle.
Crestron CP2/CP2E 2-Series Integrated Control Processor Optional Power Supply The units can be powered through the NET network connector, or by an optional AC power pack (purchased separately). If an external power supply is to be used, Crestron recommends its CNPWS-75 External Power Supply or PW-2420RU Universal Power Pack, or equivalent.
2-Series Integrated Control Processor Crestron CP2/CP2E Slot 1: C2Net-Device The C2Net-Device slot enables the CP2 and CP2E to control up to 252 Cresnet devices. Each Cresnet device is assigned a unique identifier called a Net ID, which is a hexadecimal value ranging from 03 to FE. To view the list of supported devices, expand the control system in the bottom pane of System Views and double-click the C2Net-Device slot, or right-click and select Add Item from the submenu.
Crestron CP2/CP2E 2-Series Integrated Control Processor Slot 3: C2I-IO8 The CP2 and CP2E provide eight I/O ports called Versiports, each of which can function as a digital input, a digital output, or an analog input. Each Versiport has a corresponding pullup resistor. In Program Manager, drag the C2I-IO8 symbol from Program View to Detail View.
2-Series Integrated Control Processor Crestron CP2/CP2E Driving the corresponding signal high can modify this behavior. This is not recommended, though, since it will cause the output pin to float when goes low. Example 1 (recommended): The signal is driven low or left undefined. When goes low, Versiport 1 is at +5V. When goes high, Versiport 1 is shorted to ground. Example 2 (not recommended): The signal is driven high.
Crestron CP2/CP2E 2-Series Integrated Control Processor A voltage source is placed on Versiport 1 and is set to 10 via an Analog Initialize symbol. The value of will not be propagated until it changes by at least 10. If the current value is 500, then a new value will not be reported until it changes to 510 or 490. Slot 4: C2Y-RY8 The C2I-RY8 provides eight isolated relays for controlling low voltage contact closure devices such as drapes, screens and lifts.
2-Series Integrated Control Processor 3. Crestron CP2/CP2E When all the IP IDs and associated IP addresses have been added to the IP Table, click Send IP Table to Control System. As with all 2-Series control systems, the CP2E has the capability to function as a peripheral device, or “slave”, in a master/slave arrangement with another control system. Here the IP Table of the CP2E must contain just one entry, for the master control system.
Crestron CP2/CP2E 2-Series Integrated Control Processor If the program contains SIMPL+ or User modules, the conversion might generate error messages. This is because modules and programs often contain symbols with “ambiguous” signals. For example, the inputs of the Serial to Analog symbol can be defined as either analog or serial. Although X-Series processors support ambiguous signals, the 2-Series processor requires all signal types to be strictly defined.
2-Series Integrated Control Processor Crestron CP2/CP2E Module Header Information After you convert each module in a program, you can convert the program as described previously: drag the CP2 or CP2E onto the existing control system in System Views and click Yes to confirm the replacement.
