The FX16 Master Controller is a high performance field controller in
the Facility Explorer system. The FX16 Master Controller is
specifically designed for commercial Heating, Ventilating, Air
Conditioning, and Refrigeration (HVACR) applications, such as chillers
and rooftops, indoor packaged air conditioning units, air handling units,
and close control units.
The controller has 27 physical inputs and outputs and supports a wide
range of temperature sensors and actuating devices. Additional physical
inputs and outputs may be achieved by adding the XT/XP expansion
modules on the local Extension bus.
The FX16 Master Controller can manage a distributed control
application with up to 16 FX slave controllers (FX05 Advanced, FX06,
FX07, FX14 or FX15 controllers). You can display and modify
parameters in the distributed control application from the optional
integral or remote mounted user interface.
The FX16 also features communication services to transmit event
notification messages via Short Messaging Service (SMS) or e-mail.
With its embedded Web server, you can browse and make adjustments
to parameters of the application from remote locations.
