Key Concepts
Software Programming and Application Configuration
The FX15 provides configurable control algorithm, memory and
connectivity services, real-time functions, and I/O expansion through its
customizable, objects and services oriented, architecture. The device
configurations can be created and downloaded into the target controllers
via the FX Tools Pro software package.
The tools available in the package are:
• FX Builder: The programming and configuration of the Facility
Explorer controllers is done using the menus, navigation trees, and
graphic screens of the FX Builder tool. The configuration includes
the definition of the controllers to be connected, the physical inputs
and outputs and data points to be monitored and the format of the
display screen of the controller.
• FX Builder Express: A simplified version of the FX Builder, called
FX Builder Express, is also available to configure a library of
standard applications specifically designed for Facility Explorer
controllers. The configuration is done using the specific graphic user
interfaces of the FX Builder Express.
• FX CommPro N2/LON: Parameter configuration, machine tuning,
default parameters saving for successive configurations are all
things possible with the FX CommPro tool with 2 protocols
supported: N2 Open, LONWORKS.
Alarm and Event Management
The FX15 manages and records events or alarms that are associated with
data points or variables in the control application.
The table of active events and the event history log may be viewed on
the user interfaces.
Time Scheduling
This feature allows introducing functions based on a weekly time
schedule. The clock is battery backed up with an average duration time
of 2 years.
User Interfaces
The FX15 can have different user interface options (integrated, local, or
remote) proving the possibility to display and edit all the data point and
information of the running application. The user interface is fully
configurable at design time.
