The Advantages of Upgrading to the E3
The E3 supervisory control platform is a worthy upgrade to the E2 controller which was first released over 20 years ago. Having been first introduced to the market in 2021, the E3 is gaining traction across the HVACR industry. It's being widely adopted by not only original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) on new installations but also by service contractors looking for a user-friendly option for E2 service replacements. Service technicians are particularly benefiting from its modern enhancements, intuitive programming and customization options
Six Proven Benefits of upgrading to E3 Supervisory Control
Hardware Enhancements:
Twelve times faster processing power and 16X additional memory built in to E3 for faster response time and increased storage compared to the E2e.
E2 Hardware | E3 Hardware |
500 MHz Single Core | 1.6 GHz Quad Core |
128 MB RAM | 2 GB RAM |
1 Ethernet Port (1 MAC/PHY) | 2 Ethernet Port (2 MAC/PHY) |
3 RS-485 COM Ports | 4 RS-485 COM Ports (2 Isolated) |
Non-Touch Display 800x480 | Integrated 10" Full Touch Screen Display |
Touchscreen Interface:
The intuitive touchscreen display and navigation of the E3 controller has made a significant impact on the ease of use of the E3 controller contains a suite of modern conveniences, with the interface standing out as a pivotal aspect of the upgrade effectively streamlining on- site operations.
Secure Remote:
Secure remote access is a key feature of the E3 controller, enabling field technicians to connect to the system remotely using GAMS+ through "Controller Access," mirroring their on-site access. This dual functionality fosters enhanced team collaboration, reducing the time required to resolve service-related issues. Technicians can remotely manage the E3 controller as if they were physically present in front of the panel, promoting efficient and collaborative problem-solving during service events.
Simplified Streamlined Programming:
is evident throughout the design of the E3 controller interface. It boasts intuitive features that simplify programming, data con- version, and the installation process. In comparison to its predecessor, the E2 controller, navigating and configuring the E3 is notably swifter, offering a more modern and efficient approach like browsing a website. Contractors and OEMs have found that the E3’s integrated graphing feature and comprehensive historical data retention have made this an easy to justify upgrade over the E2
Customizable Alarming:
GAMS+ paired with the Emerson E3 allows operators and service contractors to be notified about issues immediately via email, text and phone calls ensuring product safety, reduced downtime and waste from product loss.
Direct Integration with GAMS+:
Working in conjunction with the Emerson E3, GAMS+ provides your team with advanced diagnostic tools that technicians can use to automatically pin-point issues, saving time and money. Without having to login to a controller, operators and technicians can quickly and easily initiate a manual defrost, case cleaning and case setpoint changes from the GAMS+ application on your mobile device and desktop.
As the E3 controller continues to be integrated into new equipment and retrofit projects, more HVACR equipment OEMs and technicians are expected to uncover additional benefits from this advanced supervisory control platform, further transforming technician triage and diagnostics in the industry.
