ECS). This type of memory can be read as often as needed, however, it has a limited number of
write cycles.
The Gateway is preprogrammed with standard monitor and control points. These standard points are
those most often requested by AERCO customers (see Part III). If different or additional points are
required for a particular system, custom factory programming is available. There are five (5) standard
pre-programmed configurations to choose from:
• Programmed for 4 C-More controlled boilers and 1 Boiler Management System (BMS/BMS II)
• Programmed for 1 BMS/BMS II and 8 C-More controlled boilers
• Programmed for 1 BMS/BMS II and 12 C-More controlled boilers
• Programming for 1 BMS II and 4 BCM controlled Modulex boilers
• Programmed for 4 ECS controlled water heaters
Multiple XPC Gateways can be used in certain situations.
If necessary, the XPC Gateway can accept up to 300 monitor and control points. Network points and
unit addresses are pre-programmed in the Gateway. In addition, all of the supported protocols –
BACNET, LonWorks, and N2 are preprogrammed for all points. They can be easily selected using
the DIP switches provided on the Gateway.
1.4 AERCO XPC GATEWAY DESCRIPTION
The XPC Gateway Controller is shown in Figure 1-1. The Gateway is housed in a compact enclosure
measuring approximately 6” H x 8” W x 3” D as shown in Figure 1-2. The installed location of the
Gateway will depend on the types of AERCO equipment being used with the Gateway.
