Modular Product Overview
The TC Modular is an integral part of the TALON
®
Automation System. It is a high
performance, modular Direct Digital Control (DDC) supervisory field panel.
The field panel operates stand-alone or networked to perform complex control,
monitoring, and energy management functions without relying on a higher level
processor.
● Up to 100 TC Modular field panels communicate on a peer-to-peer network.
● With the addition of TX-I/O modules and a TX-I/O Power Supply on a self-forming
bus, the TC Modular can directly control up to 500 points.
See the TALON Wiring Guidelines Manual (588-581) for information on setting up this
configuration.
● With the addition of an Expansion Module, the TC Modular also provides central
monitoring and control for distributed Field Level Network (FLN) devices.
