CP2 and CP2E units house the control system software program and provide connectivity for communication and control of all devices on the network. The CP2E is functionally identical to the CP2, with the exception that it also provides LAN and Web access through its built-in 10/100 BaseT Ethernet port, which supports dynamic/static IP addressing and full-duplex TCP/IP and UDP/IP protocols.
The enhanced SIMPL+™ instruction set is also fully compatible with existing Crestron SIMPL Windows and SIMPL+ programs. Specifications Specifications for the CP2 and CP2E are given in the following table. CP2/CP2E 2-Series Integrated Control System Specifications SPECIFICATION DETAILS ®...
The front panels of both units include standard LEDs and two reset buttons. All connections to the units are made through their rear panels. The front panels of the CP2 and CP2E are shown below. Front and Rear Panels The front panels of the CP2 and CP2E are shown below.
2-Series Integrated Control Processor Crestron CP2/CP2E Controls and Indicators The CP2/CP2E front panel indicators and controls are described below. PWR (Power) This LED illuminates when the unit is connected to and receives 24VDC power from an AC power pack or the Cresnet NET connector.

These connectors provide eight normally open, isolated relay contact groups. Each relay contact closure is rated 1A, 30 VAC/DC; MOV arc suppression is provided across contacts for use with "real world" loads. 6 • 2-Series Integrated Control Processor: CP2/CP2E Operations Guide - DOC. 5980...
24VDC 2.0A This male connector can be used to supply 24VDC power to the CP2/CP2E from an AC power pack purchased separately. (Refer to Optional Power Supply on page 13). When power is supplied to the units through this connector, 24VDC, 24W is also available to other Cresnet system devices through the NET connector.

Industry Compliance As of the date of manufacture, the CP2/CP2E integrated control processors have been tested and found to comply with specifications for CE marking and the Australian Compliance Mark.
To prevent the possibility of electrical shorts, it is essential that these conductors do not touch any uninsulated portion of the bussing strip. 10 • 2-Series Integrated Control Processor: CP2/CP2E Operations Guide - DOC. 5980...
Network Interconnect Drawing (Doc. 5411). The document can be obtained from the Downloads section of the Crestron website (www. crestron.com). Search for the CRESNET.PDF files. CAUTION: Exceeding the power output (maximum 24W) of the CP2/CP2E can result in system shutdown or a blown fuse. CAUTION: Possible equipment damage if miswired.
(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.

To add an IR device to the system, drag the device driver from the Crestron or User IR Database to a C2I-IR8 port. To add an RS-232 device, drag the C2IR one-way serial driver from the Serial Drivers folder to a C2I-IR8 port.

2-Series Integrated Control Processor Slot 3: C2I-IO8 The CP2 and CP2E provide eight I/O ports called Versiports, each of which can function as a digital input, a digital output, or an analog input. Each Versiport has a corresponding pullup resistor.

Rather, the <MinChange> signals should be used to specify a "minimum change" value, such that the C2I-IO8 will not propagate the new value until it changes by <MinChange>. (The default minimum change value is 2048.) Example 6: 16 • 2-Series Integrated Control Processor: CP2/CP2E Operations Guide - DOC. 5980...

IP Table. The second method is to use the Crestron Viewport. This method is especially useful on site, if you want to change one or more IP addresses without changing the program.
To do this you first open the program, and then replace the existing control system with the CP2 or CP2E. That is, drag the CP2 or CP2E from the Control Systems folder onto the existing control system in System Views, and click Yes when prompted to confirm the replacement.

Although X-Series processors support ambiguous signals, the 2-Series processor requires all signal types to be strictly defined. If the program you want to convert contains SIMPL+ or User modules, Crestron recommends that you first convert each module before converting the larger program.
Establishing Communication with the CP2/CP2E Before uploading a program to the CP2/CP2E or performing diagnostic functions, you must connect the control system to the PC. With the CP2, this connection must be serial; with the CP2E the connection can be either serial or TCP/IP.

Crestron CP2/CP2E Uploading Touchpanel Projects via the CP2/CP2E You can use a connection to the CP2 or CP2E to upload VisionTools Pro-e projects to any Cresnet touchpanel. Compiled projects for TPS panels are contained in VTZ files; projects for all other touchpanels are contained in HEX files.
The SIMPL Windows online help file provides a full listing of console commands that are valid for 2-Series control systems. You can access the CP2/CP2E console in a variety of ways: via a serial connection (RS-232) with a PC, over Ethernet via the LAN port, or through Telnet, among many other methods.
