Honeywell 900SP1-0100 EPM | Expansion Processor Module for ControlEdge 900

Honeywell 900SP1-0100 Expansion Processor Module (EPM)

The EPM acts as the interface between expansion I/O and the control processor module.
It is required for I/O racks to communicate with CPMs in a different rack.
This module supports both Star and Ring topology for flexible network design.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• Q: Can I use this module with a redundant CPM pair?
• A: Yes, it supports both redundant and non-redundant systems.
• Q: What cable should I use for the I/O network?
• A: Use shielded CAT5 for copper (up to 100m) or multi-mode fiber with SC connectors (up to 5000m).
• Q: How do I know the module is working correctly?
• A: Check the two tri-color LEDs; they indicate power, network link, and activity.
• Q: Can I connect this directly to a CPM without a switch?
• A: Yes, direct CPM-to-EPM connection is supported (copper up to 100m).
• Q: What is the typical power consumption?
• A: 2.6W, matching its heat dissipation.
• Q: Which Moxa switch is recommended?
• A: EDS-308 (8 copper ports) or EDS-308-MM-SC (6 copper + 2 fiber ports) – both 24VDC.

Purchase Guidance & Insider Tips

• Always set the rotary address before installation to avoid address conflicts.
• For long-distance runs (over 100m), use fiber optic with the Moxa IMC-101-M-SC converter.
• Order a spare module to minimize downtime – we offer quick 12-24h dispatch.
• Check your CPM firmware version; this EPM works with all ControlEdge 900 CPMs.
• Need a switch? Choose EDS-316-MM-SC for larger networks (14 copper + 2 fiber ports).
