BACnet bCX1 Controller/Router Series
03
Features
Advanced Flash Memory Management
The bCX1 Series uses non-volatile Flash memory
to store the operating system and application
programs. When a power loss in sensed, an
on-board battery maintains all logs, trends, and
other run-time data. When power is restored, both
application and run-time data are restored. Memory
backup or restore settings are configurable.
The Flash-based operating system simplifies
feature upgrades.

Controller/Router Combo Models (BCX1-CR)
BTL Listed BACnet Building Controller (B-BC)
The bCX1-CR is listed with the BACnet Testing
Laboratories (BTL) as a BACnet Building Controller
or B-BC, with interoperability BACnet Data Sharing,
Alarm and Event Management, Scheduling,
Trending, and Device Management.
Dimensional Drawings
Programmable
The dynamic memory of the bCX1-CR can
be allocated for any combination of programs
and BACnet object (including Schedules,
Alarms, and Trends). Our powerful Plain English
programming language can directly reference
any BACnet object either locally or globally.
Our object-oriented Plain English, with intuitive
keywords, provides an easy method to tailor the
controller to meet your exact requirements. As
a programmable controller, the bCX1-CR can
locally support a wide range of BACnet objects,
including BACnet loops, trends, and schedules.
Plain English programs may be created to
program coordinated control strategies, giving
you the freedom to move data between third party
devices that do not have peer to peer functionality
provided in all Andover Continuum controllers.
Embedded Web Server
With the power of Plain English, standard HTML
web pages can be created and embedded into the
bCX1-CR to provide a simple-to-use, browser-based
interface for monitoring or changing data points.
The embedded web pages are fully customizable
to meet any special customer requirements.
