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-36
The PXC-36 provides control of 36 local points,
including 24 software-configurable universal points.
Point count includes: 18 Universal I/O (U), 6 Super
Universal I/O (X), 4 Digital Input (DI), and 8 Digital
Output (DO).
The PXC-36 offers the flexibility of expanding the total
point count through a self-forming Island Bus. With the
addition of a TX-I/O Power Supply, up to four TX-I/O
modules can be supported. For more information, see
the
TX-I/O Product Range Technical Specification
Sheet
(149-476).
Available Options
The following options are available to match the
application:
Ethernet or RS-485 ALN
Support for APOGEE P2 ALN through TCP/IP or
RS-485 networks.
FLN Support
● The PXC-16 and PXC-24 “F” models with an FLN
license support up to 32 P1 FLN devices when the
ALN is connected to TCP/IP.
● The PXC-36 with an FLN license supports up to 96
P1 FLN devices when the ALN is connected to
RS-485 or TCP/IP.
● A Wireless FLN may also be used to replace the
traditional P1 FLN cabling with wireless
communication links that form a wireless mesh
network. Additional hardware is required to
implement the Wireless FLN.
For more information about FLN support, contact your
local Siemens Industry representative.
P1 FLN Operation
The PXC-16 and PXC-24 can be configured as a
programmable P1 FLN device. In the P1 FLN mode,
the PXC Compact functions as an equipment controller
with customized programming and default applications.
Virtual AEM Support
The Virtual AEM license allows the PXC Compact to
connect an RS-485 APOGEE Automation Level
Network or individual field panels to a P2 Ethernet
network without additional hardware.
Extended Temperature Operation
PXC-24 "R" models support extended temperature
operation, allowing for rooftop installations.
Hardware
The PXC Compact Series consists of the following
major components:
● Input/Output Points
● Power Supply
● Controller Processor
