Echelon Network and Hardware Setup
8.1
Overview
Echelon is an optional, two-conductor network that interconnects E2s and other associated devices, such as CC-100
case controllers, TD3 temperature displays, and ESR8 evaporator stepper regulator boards. All Echelon devices are wired
together using the daisy-chain method of network structuring. If an Echelon network-enabled E2 is required, it must be
specifically ordered from Emerson Retail Solutions as an Echelon-enabled E2, and equipped with an Echelon plug-in
card. See
Section 4.3.1, Echelon Plug-In Card Kit (P/N 638-4860)
.

Echelon Network
Structuring (Daisy-Chains)
Echelon devices are networked together into configu-
rations called
segments.
A segment is a group of up to 64
Echelon devices that are connected together on an unbro-
ken series of wires.
The recommended way of constructing an Echelon
Network is called
daisy-chaining.
In the daisy-chain
net-
work configuration, devices are arranged by
subnets
,
which consist of one E2 and all Echelon devices associ-
ated with the E2.
First, all devices in a subnet are connected in an unbro-
ken chain without branches or “star configurations” (see
Figure 8-1
). Then, if more than one E2 is present on-site,
all chains are connected so that the entire network forms a
large unbroken chain, called a daisy chain
(see
Figure 8-2
). This allows for all devices in the Eche-
lon Network to be hard wired together for trouble free
communication.
