ABB 2CQG100110R2021 ASPECT Control Engine - IP20
Part Number: 2CQG100110R2021
Quick Summary
ABB 2CQG100110R2021 ASPECT Control Engine is a compact control engine for BACnet MS/TP and Modbus networks in building automation. Engineers often struggle to integrate diverse protocols while scaling device footprints across facilities. Key protections and certifications underpin reliability: IP20 ingress protection, a CE Declaration, and RoHS compliance. With an embedded ASPECT runtime and a web UI, commissioning and ongoing monitoring are simplified, while the Ethernet port enables centralized visibility. This combination delivers faster time-to-value for industrial automation and facility management projects, supporting up to 128 devices and tens of thousands of points and easing integration with higher-level controllers.

Feature embedded ASPECT runtime with a web UI enables on-device programming and remote monitoring, reducing engineering time and enabling rapid troubleshooting. This translates to lower total cost of ownership and quicker project delivery in building automation and industrial facilities. Application: BACnet MS/TP, Modbus RTU, and TCP/IP ecosystems are supported, allowing seamless integration with existing field devices and SCADA systems; the business impact is fewer gateways and simplified maintenance. Feature dual RS-485 ports with configurable speeds (9.6 to 115.2 kbps) and support for two protocols (BACnet MS/TP, Modbus RTU, or AAM PUP) reduces hardware diversity and vendor lock-in, enabling lean installation in mid-sized plants. Application: retrofit projects and multi-protocol campuses gain reliability and cost savings. Feature a single RJ-45 Ethernet port with TCP/IP support (BACnet/IP, Modbus TCP, FT/Net) for centralized monitoring and cloud-like visibility; impact: faster commissioning and scalable asset management across 128 devices and 8,000 points, upgradeable to 10,000 points. Application: smart buildings and distributed automation. Feature electrical resilience: 24 V supply with a 9–36 V input range and AC/DC compatibility ensures compatibility with existing power architectures, minimizing äshock voltage risks and facilitating field wiring. Impact: robust installation in commercial environments with predictable performance. Application: OEM panels and retrofit deployments. Feature compact form factor (119 mm W x 154 mm H x 56 mm D) weighing 2.6 kg plus IP20 protection and RoHS/WEEE compliance; impact: easier enclosure planning, safe handling, and regulatory compliance. Application: space-constrained installations and regulated industries. Feature field upgradeability to support up to 10,000 points and 128 devices across TCP/IP or MS/TP; impact: future-proofing and reduced total cost of expansion. Application: growing facilities and long-term asset strategies.

FAQs
This controller offers two RS-485 ports configurable for BACnet MS/TP or Modbus RTU, plus an Ethernet port for BACnet/IP and Modbus TCP. Plan mounting in a 119x154x56 mm enclosure, ensure IP20 protection, provide a 24 V DC supply within 9–36 V range, and verify wiring for RS-485 devices. The embedded ASPECT runtime simplifies initial configuration via the web UI, reducing commissioning time and onsite service requirements.
The 2CQG100110R2021 supports two RS-485 protocols and a TCP/IP stack, enabling seamless integration of BACnet MS/TP, Modbus RTU, BACnet/IP, and Modbus TCP on a single platform. It scales to 128 devices and 8,000 points, with a field upgrade path to 10,000 points, minimizing gateway proliferation and maintenance overhead while maintaining centralized visibility and control.
Yes, the device is field upgradable to support a maximum of 10,000 points and 128 devices when combining TCP/IP and MS/TP connections. This scalability is particularly valuable for expanding campuses, retrofits, or expanding manufacturing lines without replacing the controller. The upgrade path preserves existing network topology while increasing monitoring granularity and control coverage.
The controller ships with IP20 protection, RoHS compliance, and a CE Declaration, aligning with European safety and environmental standards. WEEE categorization confirms proper end-of-life handling, and the device adheres to ETIM 9 EC011487 for interoperability. These certifications support regulatory compliance, easier procurement, and responsible asset management.
ROI comes from reduced integration costs, faster commissioning via the web UI, and fewer gateways due to multi-protocol support. The field upgrade capability protects the initial investment by accommodating growth to 10,000 points and 128 devices. Centralized monitoring via Ethernet reduces on-site visits, lowers maintenance costs, and improves ongoing reliability in building automation and industrial processes.
