The CH Breaker Gateway System

Overview • 1

Overview

The CH Breaker Gateway is designed to allow CPC’s 

family of site controllers to interface directly with Cutler-

Hammer Pow-R-Command PRC100 breaker control pan-
els (equipped with PRC100MOD System Controllers) to 

activate and deactivate loads.

A Pow-R-Command™ breaker panel features remotely 

controllable circuit breakers, each of which may be flipped 

from OFF to ON and from ON to OFF by commanding the 

PRC100MOD System Controller. The E2, Einstein, and 
REFLECS site controllers communicate with the 

PRC100MOD by use of the CH Breaker Gateway. The 

Gateway has one MODBUS channel that interconnects up 
to 4 PRC100MOD System Controllers and one RS485 I/O 

channel that connects the Gateway to the CPC site control-

ler. 

A CH Breaker Gateway controls up to 48 inputs and 48 

digital  outputs, and to the CPC controller the board appears 

identical to 8RO (relay output) boards and 16AI (input) 
boards. The Gateway can emulate up to 3 16AI and 6 8RO 

boards, depending on the amount of breaker groups used.

The CH Breaker Gateway

The CH Breaker Gateway 

(Figure 1-2)

 allows you to 

drive multiple breakers from a single virtual I/O point by 
arranging them into 

breaker groups.

 Each group repre-

sents one output point (driven by a lighting control or 

schedule application in the CPC site controller) and one in-
put point (which sends a combined proof signal back to the 

CPC site controller for proof checking).

The Gateway supports control of up to 48 breaker 

groups, made up of breakers from up to 4 PRC100 panels, 

each of which may have up to 48 breakers.

Mounting

2.1.

The CH Breaker Gateway

The Gateway is typically mounted in the same area as 

the site controller, near the controller’s 16AI, 8RO, and 

other RS485 Network peripherals. The Gateway is de-

signed to fit into a standard 3" snap track (supplied with the 
board) or may be mounted in a panel or on stand-offs. Fol-

low the dimensions in 

Figure 2-1

 for panel mounting.
