FAC3613 Advanced Application Field Equipment
Application
The FAC3613 Advanced Application Field Equipment
Controller (FAC) is part of the Metasys® system
Field Equipment Controller family. The FAC36
Series controllers run pre-engineered and userprogrammed applications and provides the inputs
and outputs required to monitor and control a wide
variety of HVAC and other facility equipment.
FAC36 controllers operate on an RS-485 BACnet
MS/TP Bus as BACnet Advanced Application
Controllers (B-AACs) and integrate into Johnson
Controls® and third-party BACnet systems.
FAC36 field controllers include an integral real-time
clock, which enables the controllers to monitor
and control schedules, calendars, and trends, and
operate for extended periods of time as stand-alone
controllers when offline from the Metasys system
network.
Communications protocols
The FAC3613 field controllers can communicate
using BACnet MS/TP, N2, or wireless Zigbee. By
default, the FAC3613 field controllers communicate
using the standard BACnet MS/TP protocol. The
BACnet protocol is a standard for ANSI, ASHRAE, and
the International Standards Organization (ISO) for
building controls.
The FEC Family Controllers, including the FAC3613,
can be used as functional replacements for
legacy N2 controllers. The N2-capable MS/TP
field controller models provide a cost-effective
upgrade and modernization path for customers
with existing N2 controllers. For installation and
commissioning support, and tips for efficient and
safe replacement, refer to the Modernization Guide
for Legacy N2 Controllers (LIT-12012005) and the
controller-specific documentation. For information
about mapping N2 Objects in controllers with
switchable communications protocols, refer to the
N2 Compatibility Options chapter of the Controller Tool
Help (LIT-12011147).
To configure FAC3613 field controllers to
communicate using the N2 communications
protocol, see Configuring N2 Communications.
The FAC3613 field controller can also be installed in
a wireless application using a ZFR/ZFR Pro Wireless
Field Bus Router. To configure these controllers to

communicate using the wireless communications
protocol, see Configuring Wireless Communications.
Fast persistence
The FAC3613 model has been significantly upgraded
and now includes a fast persistence feature that
allows you to retain data values at a configurable
interval, up to once per second. Persistence refers
to how often samples of data are stored locally. This
upgrade to the persistence feature ensures that
in the event of a problem, such as a loss of power,
more recent data can be retrieved up to the rate that
the data is persisted, minimizing the potential loss of
data. When power is restored, previously persisted
data, up to the rate of persistence, is still available
and accessible. When persistence is configured
for once per second, you risk losing only the most
recent one second of data before the power loss.
Persisting data may be essential for situations that
require greater data accuracy. This may include
certain methods of utility data collection and billing
Attributes that can be persisted in the FAC3613
include: Counter Input Present Value Attributes,
Binary Input, Binary Output, and Binary Value COS
Counts and Active Time Attributes, and PID/PRAC
tuning parameters.

(Connect the SA/FC terminal block on an IOM
to an SA bus only.)
3. Important: Before the controller is powered
on, connect the ZFR/ZFR Pro Wireless Field Bus
Router to the FC bus port (RJ-12 modular jack)
on the front of the controller.

Setting the device address
Metasys field controllers are master devices on an
MS/TP (SA or FC) bus. Before you operate field
controllers on a bus, you must set a valid and
unique device address for each controller on the
bus. You set a field controller's device address by
setting the positions of the switches on the DIP
switch block at the top of the controller. Device
addresses 4 through 127 are the valid addresses for
these controllers on an MS/TP FC Bus.
Device Address Use on Description
0
(Switch 128 Off)
1-3
(Switch 128 Off)
4 to 127
(Switch 128 Off)
The DIP switch block has eight switches numbered
128, 64, 32, 16, 8, 4, 2, and 1. Switches 64 through 1
are device address switches. Switch 128 must be set
to OFF for all hard-wired SA and FC bus applications.
Reserved for FC Bus Supervisory
Controller(not for use on field
controllers).
Reserved for peripheral
devices (not for use on field
controllers).
Used for MSTP master devices
(field controllers) that are
hardwired to an SA bus or FC
bus.
Note: Metasys field controllers ship with switch
128 ON and the remainining adress switches
off rendering the controllers wired subordinate
devices, which do not operate on MS/TP
buses, but do not interfere with bus operation.
Set a valid and unique device address on
the controller before applying power to the
controller on the bus.
To set the device addresses on the controllers,
complete the following steps:
1. Set all of the switches on the address DIP
switch block (128 through 1) to OFF.
2. Set one or more of the seven address switches
(64 though 1) to ON, so that the sum of the
switch numbers set to ON equals the intended
device address. Set the highest number switch
that is less than or equal to the intended device
address to ON. Then continue setting lower
numbered switches until the total equals the
intended address. For example, if the intended
device address is 21, set switch 16 to ON first,
then set switch 4 ON, followed by switch 1
(16+4+1= 21). See Figure 9.See for valid device
addresses.
3. Set a unique and sequential device address for
each of the controllers connected on the SA or
FC bus starting with device address 4. To ensure
the best bus performance, set sequential device
addresses with no gaps in the device address
range (4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and so on). The controllers
do not need to be physically connected on the
bus in their numerical device address order.
4. Write each controller's device address on the
white label below the DIP switch block on the
controller's cover.
FAC3613 Advanced Application Field Equipment Controller Installation Guide 17
The following table describes the FC bus and SA bus
devices addresses for Johnson Controls® MS/TP
controllers communications bus applications.
Refer to the MS/TP Communications Bus Technical Bul-
letin (LIT-12011034) for more information on controller device addresses and how to set them on
MS/TP buses.
The controller cover is held in place by four
plastic latches that extend from the base and
snap into slots on the inside of the housing
cover.
To remove the controller cover, complete the
following steps:
Removing the Controller cover
Important: Electrostatic discharge can
damage controller components. Use proper
electrostatic discharge precautions during
installation, setup, and servicing to avoid
damaging the controller.
Important: Disconnect all power sources to
the controller before you remove the cover
and change the position of any jumper on the
controller. Failure to disconnect power before
changing a jumper can result in damage to the
controller and void any warranties.
Figure 10: Cover removed showing EOL switch and jumper positions
1. Place your fingertips under the two cover lift
tabs (FAC3613 physical features ) on the sides
of the housing cover and gently pry the top of
the cover away from the base to release the
cover from the two upper latches.
2. Pivot the top of the cover further to release it
from the lower two latches.
3. Replace the cover by placing it squarely over
the base, and then gently and evenly push the
cover on to the latches until they snap into the
latched position.
Setting the End-of-Line (EOL) switch
Each controller has an EOL switch, which, when set
to ON, sets the controller as a terminating device on
the bus. The default EOL switch position is OFF.
FAC3613 Advanced Application Field Equipment Controller Installation Guide18
Figure 11: End-of-Line switch positions
To set the EOL switch on a field controller, complete
the following steps:
1. Determine the physical location of the field
controller on the FC bus.
2. Determine if the controller must be set as a
terminating device on the bus.
Note: For detailed information regarding EOL
termination rules and EOL switch settings on
FC buses, refer to the MS/TP Communications
Bus Technical Bulletin (LIT-12011034).
3. If the controller is a terminating device on
the FC bus, set the EOL switch to ON. If the
controller is not a terminating device on the
bus, set the EOL switch to Off.
When a controller is connected to power with its
EOL switch set to ON, the amber EOL LED on the
controller cover is lit.
Setting the Input Jumpers
CAUTION
Risk of Electric Shock:
Disconnect supply power to the controller before attempting to adjust the Binary Output Source Power
Selection Jumpers. Failure to disconnect the supply
power may result in electric shock.
ATTENTION
Risque de décharge électrique
Débrancher l'alimentation de l'controller avant tout
réglage du Binary Output Source Power Selection
Jumpers. Le non-respect de cette précaution risque
de provoquer une décharge électrique.
Figure 12: Current loop jumper positions
Set the current loop jumper to the Enabled position
(Figure 12) to connect an internal 100 ohms resistor
across the UI terminals, which maintains the 4–20
mA current loop circuit even when power to the
controller is interrupted or off.
Important: Current loop jumpers must be in
the Disabled (default) position for all UIs that
are not set up to operate as 4–20 mA analog
inputs.
The following table identifies the current loop
switches associated with each UI on the controller.

FAC3613 Advanced Application Field Equipment Controller Installation Guide 19
The FAC3613 model does not have an integral
display, but you can connect the controller to a
DIS1710 Local Controller Display. For detailed
information about setting up and operating either
an integral user interface or a remotely connected
DIS1710 display, refer to the
Input/Output Wiring Validation
The FAC3613 controllers ship with a default state
that can assist in validating the wiring of the input
and output terminals prior to download of an
application file. When the controller is powered on
in this state, the Fault LED will flash in a pattern of
two quick blinks and then a long pause (see Table 7
).
To make use of this feature, ensure the DIP switches
are set to the desired address and wire the input
and output terminals. Apply power to the FAC
controller and connect to the device with either a
MAP Gateway or MS-DIS1710-0 Local Display to view
the points in the controller. The FAC controller will
report an Operational status even though there is
no true application loaded. CCT will not be able to
commission or upload the device as a result until
a true application is downloaded. The application
name displayed will be the address of the controller
followed by the model of the controller and “Default
State”.
For example, a FAC3613 controller whose DIP
switches are set to 8 would have the default state
application name of “8-FAC3613 Default State”.
The default state creates I/O points for all
connections on the input and output terminals.
It assumes all Universal Inputs (UIs) are Nickel
temperature sensors. The default state also takes
input from a Network Sensor at address 199. If there
is no connected Network Sensor, the startup of this
default state will be delayed by 30 seconds as the
controller attempts to establish connection with the
sensor.

For additional information about the firmware
package files, refer to the CCT Installation Instructions
(LIT-12011259).
Troubleshooting Controllers
Observe the Status LEDs on the front of the field
controller and see the table below to troubleshoot
the controller. To troubleshoot an integral or
local controller display, refer to the DIS1710 Local
Controller Display Technical Bulletin (LIT-12011270).
Commissioning Controllers
You commission BACnet MS/TP controllers with the
(Controller Configuration Tool ) CCT software. The
controller can be connected using NxE Passthru,
Bluetooth (using BTCVT), or through MAP 4.2+/
BACnet Router (Mobile Access Portal (MAP) Gateway
at version 4.2 or above). Refer to Controller Tool
Help (LIT-12011147) for detailed information on
commissioning field controllers. Beginning at
CCT Release 13, the firmware package files are
orderable separately; they are not included with
CCT. They are obtained from the Metasys software
licensing portal, and are loaded and licensed on the
computer/server that is running CCT. .
Note: The MAP Gateway serves as a
replacement for the BTCVT, which is no longer
available for purchase, but continues to be
supported.
Firmware Package File
The MS-FCP-0 equipment controller firmware
package files are required for CCT to configure and
commission the controllers. The firmware package
files also allow you to upgrade an existing controller
to the latest firmware release available for that
controller.
Beginning at CCT Release 13, the firmware package
files are orderable separately; they are not included
with CCT. They are obtained from the Metasys
