Schneider Electric AS-P892-000 – SpaceLogic AS-P Automation Server for Building and Industrial Control Networks

The Schneider Electric AS-P892-000 is a SpaceLogic AS-P Automation Server, designed as a central supervisor and protocol gateway for EcoStruxure Building Operation systems. From my experience, it’s the box that quietly keeps mixed-vendor equipment speaking the same language—BACnet/IP on the backbone, Modbus TCP/RTU for drives and meters, and optional expansion for legacy networks. You might notice that it doesn’t force you into a proprietary corner; it typically slots into existing panels, runs on 24 VDC, and gives you the tools to schedule, trend, alarm, and serve graphics without stretched integration budgets.

Our Order Process and Guarantees

• Lead time: 1 week if in stock; no more than 1 month at the latest
• Warranty: 365 days
• Payment: 50% advance payment; full payment prior to delivery
• Express options: FedEx, UPS, DHL
• Packed new or like-new, tested before dispatch, with traceable documentation

Key Features

• Multi-protocol gateway – Typically supports BACnet/IP and Modbus TCP/RTU natively, reducing the need for external converters.
• Local supervision – Schedules, trends, alarms, and basic graphics served directly, ideal when a full server PC isn’t desired.
• Dual Ethernet switch – Two 10/100 Mbps RJ45 ports simplify daisy-chaining field devices and panels.
• Edge storage & backup – Removable SD/microSD for backups and fast swap-outs; handy for service teams.
• Secure by design – Role-based access and encrypted communications (TLS) are typically available within EcoStruxure frameworks.
• DIN-rail friendly – Compact footprint, 24 VDC power; easy to add to existing control panels.
• No onboard I/O – Leverages SpaceLogic I/O modules or 3rd-party BACnet/Modbus I/O, which keeps the AS-P dedicated to supervision and networking.

Technical Specifications

Application Fields

This model is typically used as a mid-tier supervisory controller in:

• Commercial offices and campuses – BACnet/IP backbone for AHUs, VAVs, lighting, and metering.
• Pharmaceutical and cleanroom environments – trend logging and alarm management to support compliance.
• Data centers – Modbus-connected UPS/CRAC/chillers with failover graphics and alarms.
• Healthcare facilities – integration of HVAC, isolation room pressure monitoring, and energy dashboards.
• Light industrial sites – gateway between PLC/drive Modbus networks and building systems.

“We replaced three disparate gateways with a single AS-P. Commissioning time dropped, and now our metering and AHU alarms roll into one screen.” — Facilities Manager, mid-size hospital

Advantages & Value

• Integration efficiency – Fewer external gateways; one toolset for alarm, trend, and schedule management.
• Broad compatibility – Works with BACnet/IP devices, Modbus TCP/RTU meters and drives, and optional legacy networks.
• Lifecycle-friendly – SD-based backup helps swap hardware quickly; firmware upgrades are straightforward in most cases.
• Cost control – Reduced panel footprint and wiring vs. multi-gateway stacks, which typically lowers commissioning costs.
• Global support – Schneider Electric’s ecosystem and documentation are widely available, easing maintenance planning.

Installation & Maintenance

• Panel & power – Mount on DIN rail within a ventilated enclosure; supply SELV/PELV 24 VDC with clean grounding.
• Network – Use Cat5e or better; keep the two integrated Ethernet ports on the same IP segment when daisy-chaining.
• RS-485 wiring – Twisted-pair, shielded cable; follow 120 Ω termination and biasing best practices.
• Environment – Keep within 0–50°C and dry conditions; avoid electrical noise near VFDs without proper segregation.
• Firmware – Plan periodic firmware updates via EcoStruxure tools; back up to SD before changes.
• Routine care – Light dusting, check terminal tightness annually, verify time schedules and alarm routing after updates.
• Safety – De-energize before servicing; ESD protection when handling memory media.

Quality & Certifications

• CE marking and RoHS compliance (typical for the SpaceLogic AS-P family)
• UL/cUL listings for building automation equipment (e.g., UL 916 category in many cases)
• FCC/EMC conformity for use in commercial environments
• BACnet compliance, commonly BTL-listed within the EcoStruxure portfolio
• 1-year warranty provided by us; extended coverage or service agreements available on request

Compatible Accessories & Supporting Components

• SpaceLogic I/O modules (e.g., universal input, analog output, digital output modules) for physical point expansion.
• Room/plant controllers such as SpaceLogic RP-C and MP-C/MP-V for zone-level control tied back to the AS-P over IP.
• Modbus energy meters and VFDs for straightforward integration via TCP or RS-485.
• Optional LON/LonWorks interface adapters when legacy networks must be retained.
• Industrial 24 VDC power supplies (SELV/PELV) sized for the AS-P and attached field devices.

If you’re standardizing on EcoStruxure Building Operation, the AS-P892-000 seems to be the sweet spot for medium sites or as a segment server in larger campuses.
