Product Description
. . . . . Johnson Controls FX-PCG1611-1 0-Point General Purpose Programmable Controller - The FX-PCG16 controller is part of the Facility Explorer® Controller (FX-PCG) family. The FX-PCG16 controller runs pre-engineered and user-programmed applications and provides the inputs and outputs required to monitor and control a wide variety of HVAC equipment. The FX-PCG controllers can communicate using either BACnet MS/TP or N2 communications protocols. These controllers used as MS/TP devices operate on an RS-485 BACnet® MS/TP Bus as BACnet Application Specific Controllers (B-ASC) and integrate into Johnson Controls® and thirdparty BACnet systems. With Release 10.1, you can use the Controller Configuration Tool (CCT) 13.0 and later software to switch the FX-PCG to use the N2 protocol. The FX-PCG16 controller is available with or without an integral LCD and push-button user interface. Switchable communications protocols The FX-PC Family Controllers and network sensors communicate using the standard BACnet protocol, based on the ANSI/ASHRAE 135-2008. The BACnet protocol is a standard for ANSI, ASHRAE, and the International Standards Organization (ISO) for building controls. FX-PCG, FX-PCX, and FX-PCV field controllers are BTL-listed as BACnet Application Specific Controllers (B-ASCs). FX-PCA field controllers and the PCV1930 Field Controller are BTL-listed as BACnet Advanced Application Controllers (B-AACs). The NS Series Sensors are BTL-listed as BACnet Smart Sensors (B-SSs). The CCT can be used to switch the Field Bus communications protocol in supported FX-PC Controllers to be either the standard BACnet MS/TP or the N2 protocol. All new controllers use either BACnet MS/TP as the default communications protocol, or BACnet/IP. Switchable communications protocols in the MS/TP models provide a cost-effective upgrade and modernization path for customers with existing N2 controllers. The Modernization Guide for Legacy N2 Controllers (LIT-12012005) and the controller-specific documentation provide installation and commissioning support and include tips for efficient and safe replacement. Refer to the N2 Compatibility Options chapter of the Controller Tool Help (LIT-12011147) for information about mapping N2 Objects in controllers with switchable communications protocols..
