FX-PCG26 General Purpose Programmable
Controller Installation Instructions
Application
The FX-PCG controller is part of the Facility Explorer
®
Programmable Controller (FX-PC) family.
These controllers run pre-engineered and user-programmed applications and provide the inputs
and outputs required to monitor and control a wide variety of HVAC and other facility equipment.
The FX-PCG controllers operate on an RS-485 BACnet
®
MS/TP Bus as BACnet Application Specific
Controllers (B-ASCs) and integrate into Johnson Controls
®
and third-party BACnet systems.
The FX-PCG 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).
Release 10.1 of the Controller Configuration Tool (CCT) 13.0 and later 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-12012045) 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.
The N2-capable FX-PC Controllers can be used as functional replacements for legacy N2 controllers.
The N2-capable FX-PC Controllers:
have the I/O quantities and characteristics of the FX-PC family controllers
must be programmed with CCT which has programming capabilities that are similar (but not
identical) to HVACPro, GX9100, GPL, and other legacy tools
support SA Bus devices
support FX-WRZ wireless sensors from the controller using the FX-WRZ7860 receiver when
configured for BACnet MS/TP communication
The N2-capable FX-PC controllers:
do not support Zone Bus (for example, TMZ sensors and M100 actuators)
do not support passthrough in the commissioning mode
do not support remote downloading or commissioning using BACnet routing
do not support wireless connection to the N2 bus
