1 Overview

®
The TELSEC MP2x is an expansion module that can be added to an MP2 to increase the number of
points available for monitoring and controlling a facility. Up to fifteen MP2x units can be connected to
an MP2 using an RS485 network. The MP2x is a Modbus device that can be queried for data from any
Modbus primary polling device using Modbus RTU protocol. The MP2x has 32 universal inputs for
monitoring temperature, humidity, contact closures and any 0-6 VDC or 0-20 mA sensors. Each
individual input may be scaled and displayed in the proper engineering units. Additionally, there are four
Form C outputs that can be used for controlling devices based on commands from the primary Modbus
device or remotely enabled by a user. This user guide is intended to provide basic operational
information for programming and status review of the MP2x System. Please contact Quest for
additional information and or questions about the operation of the system.
