Compatibility with the APOGEE Automation System
The PXC Compact Series in P2 Mode is fully compatible with and will communicate
with all the APOGEE or pre-APOGEE products in your facility. However, PXC Compact
Series in P1 Mode is not designed for use on the FLN of a pre-APOGEE field panel.
CAUTION
When working on a network with multiple firmware revisions, always connect to the
operator interface at the field panel with the newest firmware revision. Otherwise, you
cannot view features in newer firmware revisions, or the field panel may coldstart.
BACnet Protocol Compatibility
APOGEE BACnet is compatible with the BACnet/IP protocol.
CAUTION
When sharing data values from APOGEE P2 (proprietary) field panels to BACnet
devices, the Cross-Trunk Service does not support requests originating from BACnet
devices to access points (objects) that reside in APOGEE P2 field panels.
If you plan to share data values from APOGEE P2 field panels with BACnet devices
(field panels), you must do one of the following:
● Install and enable the Insight BACnet Server Option.
● Use PPCL in the APOGEE P2 field panels to command values in the BACnet
devices through the Insight Cross-Trunk service.
