Chapter 1: Introduction
EDGE Network Design
Redundant Communication between EDGE Devices
The system uses redundant communication between the Expansion Boxes, external modules, and the
main and redundant controls.
Automation and Safety bus have to be wired in daisy chain. Use EDGE RS485 Repeater to extend the
network length or to create sub networks. An EDGE RS485 allows the network to be extended by 1500ft
(457m) when using only a communication link without supplying DC power on an EDGE module at the
end.
NOTE: Up to 5 EDGE RS485 Repeaters can be used in series to extend a network branch.
Installation option
Failsafe Plug-in Modules
You can purchase Failsafe Plug-In Modules that relay output contacts if the relay coil is de-energized in
the event of a power outage.
NOTE: NOTE: Failsafe Plug-In Modules enter into a Failsafe Mode when powered down.
Variable Light Dimmer Outputs
By using EDGE 4IN-6R-2LD modules, EDGE 2 system allows 8 Amps lights dimming per channel in a
livestock building. It has been designed to accommodate various models of dimmable compact fluores-
cent lights (CFL), dimmable cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFL), dimmable Light Emitting Diodes
(LED).
NOTE: CFL and CCFL lamps must be ELV ballast type (electronic only). Only two EDGE 4IN-6R-2LD or
two EDGE 4IN-6R-2LD Failsafe Modules are allowed per Expansion Box. Both modules can be
used in either the 6 Slot Expansion Box or the 3 Slot Expansion Box. In a 6 Slot Expansion Box,
EDGE 4IN-6R-2LD cards have to be installed into slot 1 and slot 6. In a 3 Slot Expansion Box,
EDGE 4IN-6R-2LD cards have to be installed into slot 1 and slot 3.
