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.
NOTE: Use care in wiring installations to avoid applying 24 VDC power to Cresnet
wiring from an AC power pack as well as from a system device that contains its own
power supply. Although this condition should not cause any damage, Crestron does
not recommend it. In those network configurations that require more power than can
be supplied by Crestron’s Power Control Unit alone, disconnect the +24 VDC
Cresnet wire from those devices that will be powered by an AC power pack.
Programming the CP2 and CP2E
SIMPL Windows is Crestron’s graphical, Windows-based development tool for
programming control systems. The SIMPL Windows interface provides two
workspaces: the Configuration Manager, for configuring the control system,
touchpanels, and controlled network devices; and Program Manager, for designing
the logic and functionality of the control system.
In addition, you can use Crestron’s powerful Viewport utility to accomplish multiple
system tasks, such as uploading the program to the control system and performing
diagnostic functions. Together with the Crestron Database, these tools provide you
with the essential components you need to program the CP2/CP2E. Crestron
software is available on CD-ROM, or can be downloaded from the Crestron website
(www.crestron.com
)—registration is required for downloading.
Following are the minimum software requirements for the PC:
• SIMPL Windows version 2.00.28, with Library Update 145
• Crestron Database version 15.6.2
• (Optional) VisionTools Pro-e software for designing touchpanel pages
• (Optional) Application Builder (also requires SIMPL+ Cross Compiler)
software for automatic residential and commercial programming
• (Optional) DEAL for Windows IR learning software version 2.07
CP2/CP2E Device Library Symbols
In Configuration Manager, drag the CP2 or CP2E from the Control Systems folder of
the Device Library to System Views. The CP2 and CP2E appear nearly identical,
except that the CP2E provides an additional slot for Ethernet devices, as shown
below.
