Compact Series Product Overview
The PXC Compact Series operates on the Automation Level Network (ALN) or the
Field Level Network (FLN).
● When connected to the ALN, the PXC Compact uses a logical point firmware
database to communicate directly with PXC Modulars, MBCs, RBCs, MECs, SCUs,
and other nodes on the network.
● When connected to the MS/TP FLN, the PXC Compact operates as a third-party
BACnet device.
● When the PXC-16 or PXC-24 is connected to the P1 FLN, it operates as a P1
device.
– No license is required when using the PXC Compact as an FLN device.
– PXC Compact on P1 displays as a TEC with application range 3000-3899.
● The PXC Compact is available with 16, 24, or 36 point terminations.
– Selected PXC-24 and PXC-16 models provide an extended temperature range
for the control of rooftop devices.
– Optional hot-swappable HOA (Hand/Off/Auto) Modules for the PXC Compact
Series enable output points to be manually placed into HAND, ON/OFF, or
AUTO control.
Support for FLN Devices
● Selected models in the PXC Compact Series can support P1 or MS/TP FLN
devices. Those which support FLN devices may require an additional license.
Selected models can be purchased with the license already installed.
TX-I/O Island Bus Support
● The PXC-36 supports the TX-I/O Island Bus, which uses TX-I/O modules to
expand the number of point terminations.
– Selected PXC-36 models require a license to support the TX-I/O Island Bus.
– For more information on connecting the PXC-36 to the Island Bus, see the TX-
I/O Island Bus Technical Reference Manual (140-0914).
Compatibility with the APOGEE Automation System
The PXC Compact Series in P2 Mode is fully compatible with and will communicate
with all the APOGEE or pre-APOGEE products in your facility. However, PXC Compact
Series in P1 Mode is not designed for use on the FLN of a pre-APOGEE field panel.
