The PerformanceAlert™ Gateway System Overview • 1
1 Overview
The PerformanceAlert™ Gateway is designed to allow
the Emerson Climate Technologies Retails Solutions fam-
ily of site controllers (E2, Einstein, and REFLECS) to in-
terface directly with up to 14 Copeland®
PerformanceAlert™ Diagnostic Modules.
The Gateway uses two network ports: one, a MODBUS
port used to connect the Gateway with the Perfor-
manceAlert™ modules, and the second an I/O network port
that connects the Gateway to the I/O network of an E2 or
Einstein control system (or COM A/D of a REFLECS net-
work).
The Gateway mimics the behavior of a MultiFlex 16 in-
put board, passing along data from the PerformanceAlert™
modules about compressor behavior to the site controller in
the form of virtual board/point addresses. The Gateway’s
board/point addresses may be used by the site controller for
I/O control, logging, and alarming.
1.1. The PerformanceAlert™
Gateway System
A typical layout of a CPC-controlled Perfor-
manceAlert™ network configuration is shown in Figure 1-
1. Each compressor in each rack is equipped with one Per-
formanceAlert™ Diagnostic Module. All modules are
wired together in a single MODBUS daisy-chain and con-
nected to the PerformanceAlert™ Gateway board. The
Gateway Board is also connected to the E2 via the I/O net-
work, where it mimics the behavior of a MultiFlex input
board (16AI) and sends values from the modules to the E2
as virtual board/point addresses.
1.2. The PerformanceAlert™
Gateway Board
The PerformanceAlert™ Gateway (Figure 1-2) allows
you to connect up to fourteen (14) PerformanceAlert™ Di-
agnostic Modules. On the I/O network, the Gateway board
mimics the behavior of one or more 16AI boards, which
use virtual 16AI board/point addresses to pass along infor-
mation from the modules to the E2.
The PerformanceAlert™ Gateway is capable of operat-
ing in one of two different modes: a Condensed Mode,
which maps a single 16AI point to the alarm status of each
PerformanceAlert™ module, and an Expanded Mode,
which maps sixteen 16AI points for each module, includ-
ing alarm status for all alarm types, current transducer val-
ues, and discharge line temperature.
In Condensed Mode, the PerformanceAlert™ Gateway
mimics the equivalent of one 16AI board. In Expanded
Mode, the PerformanceAlert™ Gateway mimics the equiv-
alent of up to fourteen 16AI boards.
1.3. The PerformanceAlert™
Diagnostic Module
The Copeland®PerformanceAlert™ Diagnostic Mod-
ule is a breakthrough innovation for troubleshooting refrig-
eration system faults. The module can be installed in the
electrical box of the condensing unit near the compressor
contactor or in the electrical panel of a refrigeration rack
system. By monitoring and analyzing data from the Cope-
land®brand compressors, the module can accurately detect
the cause of electrical and system related issues.

Mounting
The Gateway is typically mounted in the same area as
the site controller, near the controller’s 16AI, 8RO, and
other RS485 Network peripherals. The Gateway is de-
signed to fit into a standard 3" snap track (supplied with the
board) or may be mounted in a panel or on stand-offs. Fol-
low the dimensions in Figure 2-1 for panel mounting.
The Gateway should be mounted in an environment
with ambient temperature between -40°F and 150°F, with a
non-condensing relative humidity between 5% and 95%.
Gateway boards are not supplied with an enclosure but
come with a snap-track for easy installation. The insulation
sheet and I/O board must be removed from the track before
the track is mounted. The snap-track is mounted using the
0.1875” mounting slots. Figure 2-2 shows this installation
procedure.

3 Gateway Power
Wiring
The Gateway requires 24VAC power from a Class 2
center-tapped transformer.
Emerson Climate Technologies Retail Solutions sup-
plies several sizes of center-tapped transformers for power-
ing multiple 16AIs, 8ROs, and other RS485 peripheral
boards of the E2, Einstein, and REFLECS systems.
Refer to your controller’s user manual for information
on how to use the center-tapped transformers listed in Ta-
ble 3-1 to power multiple RS485 I/O devices for the US and
Canada.
Figure 3-1 shows how to connect the 56VA and 80VA
transformers to the Gateway power connector.

Connecting the PerformanceAlert™ Modules To the Gateway Board Networking • 5
4 Networking
Networking the PerformanceAlert™ Gateway System
requires interconnecting the Gateway with all Perfor-
manceAlert™ modules on the MODBUS network, as well
as connecting the Gateway to the E2 via the RS485 I/O net-
work port.
Cable Type
Emerson Climate Technologies Retail Solutions speci-
fies all RS485 I/O and MODBUS wiring used by the E2
must be Belden 8641 (24AWG, 300V, CPC P/N 135-
8641); Belden 8761 (22 AWG, 300V not stocked by CPC);
or a 600V-shielded 22AWG equivalent stocked by CPC (P/
N 135-0600). These are two-connector shielded twisted
pair cable that support a maximum daisy chain cable dis-
tance of 4000 feet (1219 m) between the E2 and the end de-
vice on the network.
4.1. Connecting the Perfor-
manceAlert™ Modules To
the Gateway Board
MODBUS network devices must be installed using a
daisy-chain network structure. A daisy-chain connects the
Gateway and all associated PerformanceAlert™ modules
in a single unbranched network segment, with termination
resistance applied to the network at the two end devices.
Figure 4-1 shows two diagrams of valid daisy-chain net-
work structures, one with the Gateway at the beginning of
the network segment, and one with the Gateway in the mid-
dle of a network segment.
4.1.1. PerformanceAlert™ Module
MODBUS Wiring
The MODBUS connector for the PerformanceAlert™
module is located as shown in Figure 4-2. Connect the
MODBUS network cable segment(s) so that the BLACK
wire connects to all positive (+) terminals and the WHITE
wire connects to all negative (-) terminals. Connect the
SHIELD wire to the GND terminal of the connector.
The GND terminal of each module must also be con-
nected to a separate solid earth ground, using a 14AWG
wire no more than six (6) inches in length.
The best earth ground sources to use are listed below, in
priority order:
• A large metal panel or plate that is connected to a
good electrical ground. A panel or plate that is at
least 3 feet by 3 feet (0.9 m by 0.9 m) is desirable.
• Earth grounded steel rack.
• Water pipes (metal, assuming there are no plastic
sections).
• Electrical system earth ground.
Figure 4-1 - MODBUS Daisy Chain Structures
Figure 4-2 - PerformanceAlert™ MODBUS Wire Connection
Note: If grounding against a metal plate or
panel that is coated or painted, scrape away
the coating to expose the bare metal before
making the ground attachment.

4.1.2. PerformanceAlert™ Module
MODBUS Addressing
Jumpers AD1 through AD4 on the PerformanceAlert™
module set the MODBUS device address. Modules should
be uniquely numbered in sequence starting with 1 and con-
tinuing in numerical order up to 14. Refer to Figure 4-3 for
jumper settings for each address number.
4.1.3. Gateway MODBUS Wiring
Connect the Gateway to the MODBUS network as
shown in Figure 4-4. Connect the BLACK wire to
RS485+, the WHITE wire to RS485-. Connect the
SHIELD wire to the middle (0v) terminal.
For convenience, when the Gateway is not the end of
the daisy-chain, the MODBUS connector has a second set
of terminals.
4.1.4. MODBUS Termination
To minimize network interference on the MODBUS
network, the daisy chain must be terminated at both end-
points, with all devices in between left unterminated. Refer
to the diagram in Figure 4-1 for diagrams showing the dai-
sy chain endpoints.
The PerformanceAlert™ module is terminated by plac-
ing a jumper across the TRMNTR pins. The Gateway
board is terminated by setting the three jumpers next to the
MODBUS connector to the TERMINATION setting as
shown in Figure 4-5.
4.2. Connecting the Gateway to
the RS485 I/O Network
Connect the RS485 I/O Network wire to the three-ter-
minal connector on the Gateway board as shown in Figure
4-6. For further information about how RS485 networks
are configured, refer to your site controller’s user manual.

4.2.1. Gateway Board Numbering
The E2, Einstein, or REFLECS controller interprets the
PerformanceAlert™ Gateway board as one or more 16AI
Analog Input boards. The number of virtual "boards" is de-
pendent on two things: the setting of the board’s address
DIP switch, and whether the PerformaceAlert Gateway
will operate in "Condensed" or "Expanded" data mode.
In Condensed mode, the Gateway behaves in the same
manner as one 16AI board whose address is equal to the
address set by the DIP switches (see Figure 4-7 on page 7).
In Expanded mode, the Gateway assigns each Perfor-
manceAlert™ module a 16AI address equal to its MOD-
BUS address. For example, when modules 1 through 8 are
enabled through the Gateway in Expanded mode, the Gate-
way behaves as eight 16AI boards numbered 1 through 8.
The address DIP switches have no function when the Gate-
way is set to Expanded mode.
4.2.1.1. Setting the Gateway Address Switch
If using the PerformanceAlert™ Gateway in Con-
densed Mode, set the address DIP switches to the virtual
16AI board address you wish the Gateway to use (Figure
4-7). The Gateway in Condensed mode behaves in the
same manner as one 16AI board whose address is equal to
the address set by the DIP switches.
4.2.2. Setting the Baud Rate Dip Switch-
es
Dip switches 6 and 7 (Figure 4-8) control the baud rate
at which the Gateway communicates with the site control-
ler on the RS485 Network. These switches must be set to
the same baud rate setting as the E2, Einstein, or REFLECS
(usually 9600 baud).
Dip switch 8 controls the baud rate on the MODBUS
network. Since the PerformanceAlert™ module communi-
cates at 9600 baud only, set this switch to the DOWN posi-
tion to select 9600 baud (see Figure 4-8).

Connecting the Gateway to the RS485 I/O Network Gateway Software Setup • 9
5 Gateway Software
Setup
When the Gateway and all PerformanceAlert™ mod-
ules are correctly powered up and networked, the Gateway
firmware must be configured with a Hand-Held Terminal
(HHT) to set the Gateway’s data mode, enable used Perfor-
manceAlert™ MODBUS addresses, and disable unused
MODBUS addresses.
1. Plug the HHT into the HHT jack. The Open-
ing Screen will be shown.
2. From the opening screen, press the DOWN
ARROW key to display the Main Menu
screen.
3. Press RIGHT ARROW to move the cursor to
the SELECT field, then press 3 to choose GW
SETUP. Press the DOWN ARROW key
twice to enter your selection and view the PF
Alert Enable screens.
The four PF Alert Enable screens have a total of four-
teen fields numbered PF ALERT-1 through PF ALERT-14.
These fields correspond to the addresses of the connected
PerformanceAlert™ modules. The field values represent
whether the module at that address is enabled (ENB), dis-
abled (DIS), or unknown (UNK) meaning no module with
that address is currently communicating with the gateway.
For each address, if a module is connected and is using that
address, the PF ALERT field corresponding to that number
must be set to ENB (enable). All others must be set to DIS
or left in the UNK state.
4. Press the RIGHT ARROW key to move the
cursor to the PF ALERT 1 field at the top of
the screen. Use the MINUS (-) key to change
the field’s value from DIS (if no module is
connected that uses this address) or ENB (if a
module will use this address). Use the UP
ARROW and DOWN ARROW keys to move
the cursor to other fields on the screen, and
repeat until all are set correctly.
IMPORTANT: Always set unused ad-
dresses to "DIS." In Expanded Mode, this
will allow the 16AI board number to be
used by other I/O network devices (see
Section 6.3., I/O Setup for Expanded Mode).
5. To move to the next screen, press DOWN
ARROW until the cursor moves off the bot-
tom of the HHT screen, then press DOWN
ARROW one more time. The next screen,
showing PF ALERT-5 through 8, will be
shown.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until all PF ALERT
fields are set. From the fourth and last PF
ALERT field screen, press the DOWN AR-
ROW key to scroll to the next config screen,
the Data Mode screen.
7. Press RIGHT ARROW to move the cursor to
the Data Mode field. Use the MINUS (-) key
to toggle between CONDENSED and EX-
PANDED mode. Refer to Section 6.2., I/O
Setup for Condensed Mode, and Section 6.3.,
I/O Setup for Expanded Mode, for a complete
description of both modes. When finished,
press DOWN ARROW twice to save changes
and move to the next screen.
8. The final screen under the GW SETUP menu
option is a read-only status screen showing
the configuration of the I/O and MODBUS
networks. The first two lines, IONET AD-
DRESS and IONET BAUD, show the board
number and baud rate as set by the Gateway
board’s DIP switches. The last two lines,
MOD BAUD and MOD PARITY, will al-
ways read 9600 and NONE respectively,
since the Gateway’s MODBUS port needs to
be set to 9600 baud with no parity. If MOD
BAUD reads 19200, the Gateway dip switch
is set wrong and must be switched to the
DOWN position (see Figure 4-8 on page 8)

6 PerformanceAlert™
I/O Summary
During operation, the PerformanceAlert™ Gateway
serves two main functions:
• Communicating with, and collecting information
from, the PerformanceAlert™ modules, and
• Passing along information from the modules to the
site controller in the form of virtual 16AI point val-
ues.
This section will show how to map data points from the
Gateway to I/O points in the site controller for both data
modes (Condensed and Expanded).
6.1. E2 I/O Board Setup
The E2 must be configured to communicate with the
Gateway by adding the board(s) to the system configura-
tion.
Log in to the E2 with an access level high enough to
change configuration, and press I to open the
Connected I/O Boards and Controllers screen.
Add as many 16AIs as are necessary to cover the board
number(s) used by the PerformanceAlert™ Gateway. The
E2 will add the specified number of 16AI boards, num-
bered 1 through the number you entered, to the network
configuration. Press Jto save and exit.
After adding the board(s), press I (ON-
LINE STATUS) to view the current status of the network.
Verify that the address(es) used by the PerformanceAlert™
Gateway are shown in this list and read "Online."
6.2. I/O Setup for Condensed
Mode
In Condensed Mode, the Gateway behaves as a single
16AI board address whose address is set by the board’s ad-
dress DIP switches (see Section 4.2.1.1., Setting the Gate-
way Address Switch).
Points 1 through 14 of this virtual board correspond to
the overall alarm status of PerformanceAlert™ modules #1
through #14. The point will be ON as long as one or more
of the following failure conditions are active:
1. The PerformanceAlert™ module is not com-
municating with the Gateway, OR
2. Alert code 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and/or 10 are active,
OR
3. The compressor is in lockout
6.2.1. Condensed Mode Point Setup
To set up the Gateway’s virtual 16AI points for use in
logging, alarming, and I/O control, press I (IN-
PUT DEFINITIONS) to access the Input Status screen.
Sixteen rows in the Input Status table will have the
same number in the Brd field as the virtual 16AI address of
the Gateway board. These rows correspond to "points" 1
through 16 on the Gateway. Since 15 and 16 are invalid
PerformanceAlert™ module addresses, these points will be
unused and will always be OFF.
To make a point ready for use by the E2, you must set
the input name and type from this screen:
4. Use the arrow keys until the cursor highlights
the Application field in the row correspond-
ing to the point you wish to set up.
5. Press A- SETUP
6. When prompted to select the data type, select
- Digital. The Digital Input setup screen
will be displayed.
7. In the Point Name field, enter a unique name
that will help you & others easily know the
function of this point. For example, if setting
up point 1, which will be the alarm status of

display a "D" (for digital) in the Type col-
umn, and will also display the current value
of the point in the Value field (ON or OFF).
9. Repeat steps 1 through 5 until all points are
defined.
When finished, the points are ready for use in E2 appli-
cations. If you wish to set up the Condensed Mode points
so that alarms from PerformanceAlert™ are written to the
E2 Advisory Log, refer to Section 8.1.1., Generic Alarm-
ing Setup.
You may wish to use the Gateway points as inputs for
Digital Sensor control applications, where you may set up
output control. Refer to the E2 User’s Guide (P/N 026-
1610) for Digital Sensor Control setup instructions.
6.3. I/O Setup for Expanded
Mode
In Expanded mode, for every PerformanceAlert™
module address set to "enable" (ENB) in the Gateway (see
step 4 of the Gateway Setup instructions in Section 5), the
Gateway board will emulate a 16AI board whose board
number is the same number as the PerformanceAlert™
module. When a PerformanceAlert™ module is set to "dis-
able" (DIS) in the Gateway, the Gateway board does not
use this board number, meaning it may be used by other
MultiFlex input boards.
Each virtual 16AI board address shares sixteen data
points corresponding to alarm states and sensor values
from the PerformanceAlert™ module. The point numbers
and functions are fixed and are the same for each module.
Table 6-1 lists the point numbers and their data types and
functions.
Points 1 through 11 are alarm states. They will be ON
whenever the corresponding alarm type is active on the
PerformanceAlert™ module, and OFF when the alarm type
is not active.
Point 12 represents the digital state of the Perfor-
manceAlert™’s compressor relay (ON when the compres-
sor relay is ON, and OFF when the compressor is OFF).
Points 13 and 14 are the measured currents through T1
and T3 respectively.
Point 15 is the measured temperature read from the dis-
charge line temperature sensor.
Point 16 has the same function as the alarm state point
in Condensed Mode. It is ON whenever any alarm is active
on the PerformanceAlert™ module. Consequently, when-
ever any of the points from 1 through 11 are ON, point 16
will be ON as well.
6.3.1. Expanded Mode Point Setup
To set up the Gateway’s virtual 16AI points for use in
logging, alarming, and I/O control, press I (IN-
PUT DEFINITIONS) to access the Input Status screen.
If you will be using the PerformanceAlert™
Gateway in Condensed Mode, skip this section
and follow the instructions in Section 6.2., I/O
Setup for Condensed Mode.
NOTE: Expanded Mode may not be used if
networking the Gateway to an RMCC. The
RMCC will only support Condensed Mode.

7 Operation
During normal operation the operating status of the Per-
formanceAlert™ modules can be viewed in either of three
ways:
• Through E2 appliction status screens,
• Through PerformanceAlert™ Software loaded on a
laptop computer, and
• Through the Hand-Held Terminal interface on the
Gateway board.
The means for checking status on the E2 will depend on
how you have configured the Gateway board points. If you
created Sensor Control applications for each point, you
may view the PerformanceAlert™ status using the Sensor
Control status and summary screens. Refer to the E2 User’s
Guide (P/N 026-1610) for more details.
The PerformanceAlert™ Software is a utility which
connects the PerformanceAlert™ module to an RS232 or
USB port on the computer and allows direct viewing of a
module’s diagnostics information and setpoints. This tool
is documented and supported by Copeland®, and is beyond
the scope of this document. For more information, visit
www.EmersonClimate.com or contact Emerson Climate
Technologies, Inc. at 1-888-EMR-9950.
The Hand-Held Terminal can be used to look at the
overall online and alarm summary of all modules (Section
7.1.) as well as the status of an individual Perfor-
manceAlert™ module (Section 7.2.).
