System Building
EDGE 2 Controller Screenless
The EDGE 2 Controller Screenless can be used only as a Redundant Main Controller in a redundancy
system scheme.
NOTE: Use only Ethernet cables with EDGE 2 Controller Screenless for Ethernet network. The router
must have DHCP function when using this type of controller.
EDGE 2 Remote Display
Use the EDGE PSU 24V 36W to power the EDGE 2 Remote Display. This will make sure the EDGE
Expansion Box power supply is not overcharged. The EDGE 2 Remote Display needs an EDGE 2 Main
Controller to control the EDGE system indirectly. An EDGE network without a Main Controller is
impossible.
WAN\LAN\WLAN Network
Ethernet network components are not provided. Ensure to purchase network components according to
the implemented technology: Wireless, Cabled, and Cellular.
Installation Options:
The LAN network can be setup to reach outside Ethernet cables or wirelessly using a Cellular based net-
work to reach an Ethernet service provider (WAN).
Depending on the option you choose, the planning and installation will be different for an Ethernet setup,
make sure there is access to high speed Internet.
Redundant Controller and LAN\WLAN Network
You can setup a redundant Main Controller, in case the Main Controller Master fails. Use of a redundant
Main Controller will determine its communication scheme:
• Redundant Main Controller using internally wired Ethernet (LAN) network
• Redundant Main Controller using internally wireless Ethernet (WLAN)
• Redundant Main Controller using Cellular network
Redundant Power Supply
The EDGE 2 System uses a redundant power supply
The maximum distance of the DC power cable is 500ft (150m) using a wire gauge of 16AWG from the
first EDGE Expansion Box to the last EDGE 2 Controller on the EDGE network. Over this distance, use
an EDGE PSU 24V 36W to supply power to the EDGE 2 Controllers. In this case, do not use the 24Vdc
from the EDGE Expansion Box.
