● Message control for terminals, printers, pagers,
and workstations.
● Highly configurable I/O using Siemens state-of-
the-art TX-I/O™ Technology.
● HMI RS-232 port, which provides laptop
connectivity for local operation and engineering.
● Extended battery backup of Real Time Clock.
● Persistent database backup and restore within
the controller.
● Optional HOA (Hand/Off/Auto) module for
swappable and configurable HOA capability.
● Optional extended temperature range for rooftop
installation.
● Optional support for MS/TP or P1 FLN devices.
● Optional support for P1 Wireless FLN.
● Optional operation as a MS/TP or P1 device with
default applications.
● PPCL performance during an internal database
backup has been significantly improved. PPCL
will consistently execute during the backup cycle.
● Unused Ethernet ports are now disabled and do
not require the field panel to cold start.
● The handling of COV subscriptions for large
databases has been improved.
● The HMI prompt was changed from A, N, M
(Application/flNdevice/Mstp) to A, N,
B
(Application/flNdevice/Bacnet); allowing the
configuration of routed FLN types and clarifying
that any BACnet device (MS/TP or IP) can be
added to the BACnet ALN.
● The Available memory report has been extended
to show installed Memory (physical memory
installed in hardware), in addition to the existing
metrics already provided:
– Available RAM left
– Number of Fragments of memory
– Largest Contiguous memory
● Auto Save allows the database to be backed up
to flash memory automatically whenever the
database is changed, instead of being an
operator-selected function. It does not provide
any safeguard or protection against power loss.
● PXM10T and PXM10S support: Optional LCD
Local user interface with HOA (Hand-off-auto)
capability and point commanding and monitoring
features.
● MS/TP Point Pickup Module (PPM) support:
Universal Inputs can be configured for analog or
digital input. Input/Output type is configured by
writing to BACnet object properties.
● The Simple Network Management Protocol
(SNMP) Agent allows points in the field panel to
communicate with an SNMP manager over
Ethernet.
● The Meter Proxy allows a PXC Compact 16 or 24
field panel to act as an FTP client and send files
(for example, Trend Sample Report) containing
trend data directly to an FTP server. All trend data
points contained in the PXC Compact 16 or 24
field panel are uploaded to an FTP server at a
scheduled time interval. You can schedule the
trend data file upload by configuring a trigger
point that is commanded by the BACnet
Scheduler or PPCL code.
The Compact Series
In addition to building and system management
functions, the Compact Series includes several styles
of controllers that flexibly meet application needs.
PXC-16
The PXC-16 provides control of 16 points, including 8
software-configurable universal points.
Point count includes: 3 Universal Input (UI), 5
Universal I/O (U), 2 Digital Input (DI), 3 Analog Output
(AOV), and 3 Digital Output (DO).
PXC-24
The PXC-24 provides control of 24 points, including
16 software-configurable universal points.
Point count includes: 3 Universal Input (UI), 9
Universal I/O (U), 4 Super Universal I/O (X), 3 Analog
Output (AOV), 5 Digital Output (DO).
PXC-16 Unitary Equipment Controller
The PXC-16 Unitary Equipment Controller provides
control of 16 points, including 8 software-configurable
universal points.
PXC-24 Unitary Equipment Controller
The PXC-24 Unitary Equipment Controller provides
control for 24 points including 16 software
configurable universal points, with point types as
listed in PXC-24 above. The PXC-24 Unitary
Equipment Controller is a BACnet MS/TP device that
can be configured as a programmable, stand-alone
FLN device when a workstation is not present. When
a workstation is connected through a PXC Modular or
Compact with MS/TP capability, the PXC-24 Unitary
Equipment Controller can operate as either an ALN or
FLN device.
