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.

NOTE:

No license is required when the PXC Compact is being polled as an FLN device on the P1 or MS/TP FLN.

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.

CAUTION

When working on a network with multiple firmware revisions, always connect to the

operator interface at the field panel with the newest firmware revision. Otherwise, you cannot view features in newer firmware revisions, or the field panel may coldstart.

BACnet Protocol Compatibility

APOGEE BACnet is compatible with the BACnet/IP protocol.

CAUTION

When sharing data values from APOGEE P2 (proprietary) field panels to BACnet

devices, the Cross-Trunk Service does not support requests originating from BACnet devices to access points (objects) that reside in APOGEE P2 field panels.

If you plan to share data values from APOGEE P2 field panels with BACnet devices (field panels), you must do one of the following:

● Install and enable the Insight BACnet Server Option.

● Use PPCL in the APOGEE P2 field panels to command values in the BACnet

devices through the Insight Cross-Trunk service.

APOGEE P2 and BACnet Product Features Order of Implementation

The APOGEE field panel firmware supports the BACnet protocol as follows:

● If both the BACnet and APOGEE protocols have a function, the BACnet function is

implemented.

● If APOGEE provides a function that the BACnet protocol does not support, the

APOGEE function is retained.

This approach to BACnet implementation retains the APOGEE feature set while providing compatibility with standard BACnet/IP protocol.

TCP/IP Protocol Compatibility

PXC Compact Series controllers with BACnet/IP or Ethernet TCP/IP (P2) ALN provide the following:

● 100% compatibility with the TCP/IP protocol suite.

● Support of Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and Domain Name

Servers (DNS).

● Support and auto detection of 10Base-T and 100Base-TX Ethernet.

Required IP Addresses

APOGEE BACnet/IP or Ethernet TCP/IP (P2) ALN uses:

● One IP address per device (field panel or workstation).

● One additional shared IP address per ALN for the multicast group (when using

multicast optimization).

Device Registration

Devices register with the DHCP server and Domain Name Server, if either is present.

Address Assignment

IP addresses are dynamically assigned by the DHCP server.

If an address changes or is not recognized, the field panel firmware lets you release the dynamically assigned IP address and then reconnect the field panel to the DHCP server, accepting a new IP address assignment in the process.

If there is no DHCP server at the site, you must manually assign static IP addresses as part of the startup system configuration.

Physical Addressing

Each device on the BACnet/IP or Ethernet TCP/IP (P2) ALN has a hard-wired MAC address, which is printed on the product label.

Port Numbers

The default TCP/IP port number for APOGEE BACnet/IP or Ethernet TCP/IP (P2) ALN communications is

5033. You can change the TCP/IP port number if necessary.

NOTE:

All devices on the network must use the same TCP/IP port number.

The default TCP/IP port number for Virtual AEM communications is 3001. You must specify a UDP port number when using multicast optimization. The default

UDP port number is

Network Bandwidth

BACnet/IP or Ethernet TCP/IP (P2) ALN does not add significantly to your network overhead. Burst conditions for this product occur during:

● Database downloading after coldstart.

● Database uploading.

● Trend data uploading.

● Burst of alarms or COVs.

Data Exchange

BACnet/IP or Ethernet TCP/IP (P2) ALN sends and receives APOGEE data in TCP/IP packets.

BACnet/IP or Ethernet TCP/IP (P2) ALN synchronizes global data between all devices. Each device runs a global data replication engine that communicates with peer devices to:

● Exchange new and changed global data.

● Resolve conflicts when data does not match.

Device Naming Conventions

Field panel DNS node names are limited to 30 characters and cannot contain spaces.

Network Security

BACnet/IP or Ethernet TCP/IP (P2) ALN uses your intranet security within the firewall and a username/password combination to restrict access outside the firewall. You can use VLAN to improve internal security.

System Program

The PXC Compact contains a non-volatile system program called

firmware

, which can

be upgraded in the field. The firmware is stored in Flash ROM memory, which keeps it

virtually immune to all forms of power fluctuations or failure, including battery failure. For more information on Flash ROM memory, see Memory [➙ 21].

General functionality of the firmware includes:

● Executing control programs.

● Communicating between other field panels and the workstation.

● Monitoring points.

● Managing point-related information.

● Keeping track of real time (both clock and calendar time).

● Executing self-test and error detection in the PXC Compact.

Minimum Firmware Revision Required

The APOGEE Field Panels Configuration and Sizing Guidelines (145-214) outlines the minimum firmware revision required for support of a specific feature with the PXC Compact Series.

License Manager

The licenses used to activate features are associated with a specific field panel through the ID_STRING. The ID_STRING uniquely identifies a piece of hardware; it is burned into the field panel’s EEPROM and read by software and firmware.

The ID_STRING is composed of the panel's part number, revision, year and week of manufacture, and serial number. Therefore, a license for one field panel will not work on another field panel. Information for the ID_STRING can be found:

● Printed on a label adhered to the outside of the field panel,

● Printed on a label adhered to the outside of the field panel shipping box, or

● Burned into the field panel’s non-volatile memory and read through Commissioning

Tool (CT), Insight software, or the field panel HMI.

For PXC-36 field panels that include FLN support, a default license named FLNNode36_254 displays in the field panel configuration.

CAUTION

Licensed FLN support only works if the correct license is loaded on the field panel.

An FLN license for PXC-16 and PXC-24 field panels supports 32 FLN devices.

For field panels that include island bus support, a default license named TXIOExp_8 displays in the field panel configuration.

NOTICE

PXC Compact Series models with Island Bus support allow four TX-I/O modules.

See the APOGEE Field Panels Configuration and Sizing Guidelines (145-214) for more information on applications and functionality that can be activated through License Manager.

See the License to enable SNMP Agent on Siemens Modular or Compact hardware with BACnet Firmware Revision 3.2.3

(LSM-SNMP) for information on adding licensed

applications or functionality.

Purpose of Licenses

The use of licenses and features allows added flexibility for customers. Because many features add functionality to a field panel’s firmware, a single part number can be ordered and installed. Additional functionality can be added at a later date without the need to replace the hardware or perform a firmware flash.

Example

A PXC-16 or PXC-24 field panel with an FLN Expansion Module is installed on the ALN to serve as a director for FLN devices; it only passes information about FLN devices to other ALN devices. The customer orders product number PXC36-E.A, which does not provide FLN support or TX-I/O island bus support.

Two years later, the customer decides to add physical points. By adding the TX-I/O island bus license, the PXC-16 or PXC-24 is converted to product number PXC16.2EF.A or PXC24.2-EF.A which provides FLN and TX-I/O island bus support. Without replacing the PXC-16 or PXC-24 hardware or firmware, the customer can now install TX-I/O modules and expand the number of physical points.

Custom Sensor Support

In both P2 Mode (ALN device) and P1 Mode (FLN device), the PXC Compact supports three custom sensor inputs for the AI points: Johnson Controls Nickel 1000, DIN Standard Nickel 1000, and Thermistor 10K Type 3. These sensors display as an option under the Sensor type HMI prompt when entering an AI point at the HMI.

Memory

The APOGEE firmware (program), its point database, PPCL program, trend data, and other information reside in the field panel memory. Memory consists of two areas: Flash Read-Only Memory (Flash ROM) and Random Access Memory (RAM).

Flash Read-Only Memory (Flash ROM)

Flash Read-Only Memory (Flash ROM) is the non-volatile, permanent memory of the PXC Compact, which stores the operating system, the APOGEE firmware, and the language files. A limited amount of secondary storage is provided in Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM) for the field panel address or name, communication speeds, and other set-up parameters. In the event of a power surge, a power loss, or failure of the battery backup, the Flash ROM and EEPROM contents stay intact.

PXC Compact Flash ROM size cannot be upgraded in the field.

Compressed ROM

The PXC Compact has a large amount of high performance RAM. To allow for future features and to provide high system performance, the APOGEE firmware is stored in ROM in a compressed state; it is de-compressed into RAM on system power-up. As a result, the entire onboard RAM is not available for the point database, the PPCL program, and trend data.

Auto-Restore and Database Backup to Flash

APOGEE Firmware Revision 2.8.4/3.1 and later supports Auto-Restore and Database Backup to Flash.

● Database Backup to Flash allows the user to manually save a copy of the

database in flash memory of the controller.

● The field panel may be configured to automatically restore the database from flash

memory after a coldstart.

– When auto-restore is enabled, a coldstart does not result in the same downtime

as with earlier revisions of APOGEE Firmware. Because there is no waiting on a full download from the backup system, the database is restored from flash so quickly that there is little to no downtime. However, the accumulated trend data is deleted from memory.

– Database restoration from flash is disabled by default. – When FLN Mode is selected for the PXC Compact or UEC, database

restoration from flash is automatically enabled.

– When P1 Mode is selected for the PXC Compact, database restoration from

flash is automatically enabled and 128K of memory is reserved for ISB files.

● The field panel may be configured to automatically restore the database from flash

memory after a coldstart.

– When auto-restore is enabled, a coldstart does not result in the same downtime

as with earlier revisions of APOGEE firmware. Because there is no waiting on a full download from the backup system, the database is restored from flash so quickly that there is little to no downtime. However, the accumulated trend data is deleted from memory.

– Database restoration from flash is disabled by default.

For procedures on using Auto-Restore and Database Backup to Flash, see the APOGEE P2 ALN Field Panel User's Manual (125-3019) or the APOGEE BACnet ALN Field Panel User's Manual (125-3020).

Auto Save

This feature allows the database to be backed up automatically whenever database is changed, instead of being an operator selected function. It does not provide any safeguard and or protection against power loss while the process is underway. However, this feature sends messages to HMI that the auto save operation is in progress or finished.

The feature may be turned on or off using a prompt similar to the existing Autorestore prompt. See the APOGEE BACnet ALN Field Panel User's Manual (125-3020) for more information.

File System Operations

File System Operations provide many features and works on three drives of a field panel.

The following is a list of supported features:

● List Drives — list the drives on the field panel where A: is the RAM drive, B: is the

USB drive if attached, and

IFD: is the internal Flash Drive.

● Set_drive — identifies the drive that you want to perform other functions on.

● listDirectory — lists the files and folders contained on the selected drive.

● Change_dir — changes the current directory to allow you to view the contents of

subfolders on the drive.

● File_ops — opens up the file control menu which allows you to copy, rename,

delete and move files in the panel. These functions work on the drive that was selected by the Set_drive function.

● File_ops/Copy_file — allows you to copy files within a drive or to another drive.

● File_ops/Rename_file — allows you to rename a file.

● File_ops/Move_file — allows you to move a file within a drive or to another drive.

● File_ops/Delete_file — allows you to delete a file.

USB Media Support

● Support for USB mass storage devices (Memory sticks or USB hard drives).

● Backup of database, storage for graphics, Web Server upgrades

Random Access Memory (RAM)

Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory (SDRAM) is the working memory of the PXC Compact. When the PXC Compact has booted and is operating normally, the APOGEE firmware, the PPCL control program, the point database, and trend data have been transferred from Flash ROM. Information stored in RAM, such as the point database or PPCL, may be viewed, modified, deleted, activated, or deactivated from an operator terminal by any high-level authorized user. In the event of a power loss, the contents of RAM are kept intact by a backup battery.

PXC Compact RAM size cannot be upgraded in the field. The program length, number of database points, and number of trend entries is limited

only by available memory.

Compact Series Backup Batteries

The PXC Compact Series contains one non-rechargeable AA (LR6) battery and one non-rechargeable coin cell (BR2032) battery that serve as a power backup in the event

of a power failure. The batteries only discharge during a power loss. They do not recharge.

CAUTION

Only use a 3.6 Volt lithium battery in PXC Compact models with extended

temperature range operation. Only use a 1.5 Volt alkaline battery in standard PXC Compact models.

• The 3.6 Volt lithium battery is designed to operate at both high and low temperature extremes, and it provides a long service life in an extended temperature environment.

• The 1.5 Volt alkaline battery is not guaranteed to provide backup protection in models with extended temperature range operation, even if the controller is operating in a room-temperature environment.

• If a 3.6 Volt lithium battery is used in standard PXC Compact models, the battery quickly discharges and provides much less backup protection than a 1.5 Volt alkaline battery.

AA Battery

CAUTION

Batteries

Failure to change DEAD alkaline battery will eventually result in battery leakage, causing permanent damage and loss of building control.

Failure to change a DEAD lithium battery will result in loss of trend and database if not backed up, causing loss of data or building control.

Establish a preventative maintenance schedule based on expected battery usage and life cycle.

● The AA battery maintains databases and volatile data, such as Trend, in RAM

when power to the controller is off.

● If reserve power in the AA battery is low, the battery status is reported as LOW or

DEAD and the red LOW BATT LED on the field panel is lit. When this occurs, replace the battery; do not wait until it goes dead.

● Using PPCL and the $BATT point, the PXC Compact can be programmed to signal

an alarm printer and an operator terminal with a battery replacement message.

For more information, see the APOGEE Powers Process Control Language (PPCL) User's Manual (125-1896).

Using Auto Restore and Database Backup to Flash

● RAM is cleared if the AA battery is dead, disabled, or missing when power to the

field panel is off. In this case, if Auto Restore and Database Backup to Flash have been enabled, the database reloads in RAM when power returns; however, Trend data is lost.

● If a power failure lasts longer than the protection offered by the battery, and Auto

Restore and Database Backup to Flash are not enabled, the information stored in RAM must be either reloaded from an Insight workstation, Datamate Base or Datamate Advanced, or entered again by an operator.

● The coin cell battery maintains the current time-date in the Real Time Clock (RTC)

when power to the field panel is off.

● There is no physical status on the field panel for a dead coin cell battery.

● If the coin cell battery is dead or missing when power is off, then RTC time-date is

reset as follows:

– If the field panel resides on an ALN with an Insight workstation, the Insight

workstation sets the time-date when the field panel returns to the network.

– If the field panel resides on an ALN without an Insight workstation, the time-

date is synchronized with the network time during the next automatic daily time update.

● When the PXC Compact is operating in P1 mode, if the coin cell battery is dead or

missing when power is off, RTC time-date is reset to the factory default. RTC timedate and must be set manually or by PPCL to ensure time-date based applications operate as expected.

For more information on time synchronization, see the APOGEE P2 ALN Field Panel User's Manual (125-3019) or the APOGEE BACnet ALN Field Panel User's Manual (125-3020) (125-3019 or 125-3020).

Monitoring the State of the Coin Cell Battery

● Resident AI point BATT2 monitors the state of the RTC oscillator when power is

applied to the field panel either during a coldstart or a warmstart.

– If the oscillator is stopped, BATT2 is set to value 0. – If the RTC oscillator is valid, BATT2 is set to value 100. – Status is reported as DEAD for a value of 0. – Status is reported as OK for a value of 100.

NOTE:

The value of

BATT2

is also set to

100

by a coldstart command. Since the controller is powered and the RTC oscillator does not stop, the value of BATT2 is valid and a time-date reset will not occur.

An additional license may be required to enable the Island Bus.

HOA (Hand-Off-Auto) Upgrade Kits

HOA Upgrade Kits are available for PXC Compact Series field panels. HOA Upgrade Kits are not compatible with Unitary Equipment Controllers (UEC 16 or UEC 24). The upgrade kits replace PXC Compact covers with new covers equipped with manual override switches and LEDs for visual feedback at the field panel.

Users can override the default switch assignment or customize the switches to their desired configuration.

● The HOA module can be used to override outputs and monitor inputs.

● The HOA mapping and definition of a logical point in the database can be done in

any order.

● The HOA is hot-swappable. The module can be installed without powering down

the controller and interrupting facility operations.

● The HOA module can also be remote mounted on the inside or outside of an

enclosure door, using an optional accessory sold separately.

The firmware provides a default HOA switch assignment based on the type of the host field panel. There are new menus available that allow for the identification of what HOA module is connected and communicating, along with the ability to view and customize the HOA switch mapping.

Hardware Features

HOA switches enable points to be manually placed into HAND, ON/OFF, or AUTO control. Analog outputs can also be placed into AUTO and ten manual control positions.

Serial communication is made by either direct connect or through the use of a serial HMI cable.

Default Mapping

For each type of PXC Compact (16, 24 and 36) that supports HOA and each HOA unit (8, 16 rooftop or 16 non-rooftop UL 864), there is a default mapping between each button and physical point.

The default mapping provides Plug-and-Play functionality. Upon connection of the HOA Upgrade Kit to the host field panel, the HOA device is recognized and its switches are automatically assigned to the controllers fixed digital output and fixed analog output points. The default mapping is also used to allow the HOA board to command physical outputs before any logical points have been defined.

Communication

When serial connection is made between the host field panel and the HOA module, communication is established. This initial communication stream consists of the HOA module providing the host field panel with a unique identifier that provides the information about the device and its switch capabilities. The Host field panel then maps each available HOA switch so that is can provide manual override control of the onboard DOs and AOs.

● The HOA mapping is retained in the database upload.

● After a warmstart, the field panel retains the HOA configuration.

NOTE:

The HOA must be connected to a field panel with Firmware Revision 2.8.5/3.2 or later in order to backup the HOA database.

Using the HOA Switches

LED and Override Status

Placing Device into Override

To manually override the present value of an analog or digital output on the PXC Compact, you must engage the appropriate switch assigned to the desired equipment to be controlled.

Pressing the center of the switch enables the Override mode and energizes the

Yellow Override status LED. Pressing the center of the switch a second time,

disables the Override and de-energizes the Yellow Override status LED.

Analog Output Override

Once a switch assigned to an analog output is placed into manual override, pressing

the or switch will increase or decrease the value of the assigned point in 10

incremental steps. Based on the present value of the intensity of the Green I/O status

LED (10 intervals up and down), the Yellow Override status LED will flash momentarily

for any change in value.

The Green I/O status LED indicates the current value of physical points. The intensity of the Green I/O status LED will increase or decrease incrementally as the value changes.

Digital Output Override

Pressing the switch causes the output to turn ON and the Green I/O status LED is

ON at 100%.

Pressing the switch causes the output to turn OFF and the Green I/O status LED is

OFF at 0%.

The Yellow Override status LED will flash momentarily for any change in value.

Analog Input LED Feedback

Pressing the HOA switch has no effect on the point value or override status.

● Pressing the HOA switch causes the Yellow Override status LED to flash

momentarily to indicate contact has been made.

● The Green I/O status LED on the HOA module contains the intensity that best

represents the value of the analog input point. The intensity of the Green I/O status LED is determined by the message that the PXC Compact firmware sends to the HOA about the value of the LAI. For example, if the value is 12.5 mA on a point that can go from 4 to 20 mA, then the Green I/O status LED will be as bright as 50% of its intensity.

Digital Input LED Feedback

Pressing the HOA switch has no effect on the point value or override status.

● Pressing the HOA switch causes the override status Yellow Override status LED to

flash momentarily to indicate contact has been made.

● The Green I/O status LED on the HOA module is either ON or OFF depending on

the value of the Digital Input point. The intensity of the Green I/O status LED is determined by the message that the PXC Compact firmware sends to the HOA about the value of the LDI. For example, if the value is ON, the Green I/O status LED will be as bright as 100% of its intensity; otherwise, it is 0%.

Pulsed Points LED Feedback

Pressing the HOA switch has no effect on either LED. The Yellow Override status LED status light on the HOA pulses ON/OFF depending on

the signal of the pulsed input point. The intensity of the Green I/O status LED is determined by the message that the PXC

Compact firmware sends to the HOA about the value of the pulsed input point. For example, if the value is ON, the Green I/O status LED will be as bright as 100% of its intensity; otherwise, it is 0%.

Inverted Inputs

If an AI or DI in inverted, the Green I/O status LED corresponds to the status of the physical point. The logical point displays the opposite. For example, if the physical point is ON the Green I/O status LED will also be ON and the logical point will be OFF.

PXC Compact on P1

PXC Compact on P1 is used for controlling air handlers or migration of a UC (Unitary Controller).The P1 Mode Application allows the PXC Compact to function as an FLN device (emulate a TEC) on an APOGEE P1 FLN, to receive and process P1 FLN request messages from field panels, Insight workstations, or Commissioning Tool (CT), and to respond with P1 messages. This feature also allows the PXC Compact on P1 to receive and process P1 request messages from an APOGEE tool, such as WCIS, connected to the HMI port.

See the section Minimum Firmware Revision Required [➙ 10] for information on the firmware revision required to implement PXC Compact operation on P1 FLN.

What is a PXC Compact on P1?

The PXC Compact on P1 uses standard PXC-16 or PXC-24 hardware, but Firmware Revision 2.8.4 or later allows the PXC Compact to reside on the P1 FLN and communicate with an ALN (host) field panel. This feature is enabled when P1 is selected as the ALN in the HMI prompts.

The PXC Compact on P1 functions like a stand-alone ALN field panel, meaning it does not communicate with any other field panels on the ALN, and so it cannot send or receive data directly. The PXC Compact on P1 appears to the host field panel on the FLN as a TEC and its points appear as application subpoints.

The database structure of the PXC Compact on P1 is different from that of a standard ALN controller since it consists of three parts, which must remain synchronized.

● A standard P2 database

● An Integrated Systems Binary (ISB) file

● A P1 point team database

Standard P2 Database

Although it is operating on the P1 FLN, the PXC Compact still requires a P2 database. The standard P2 database for the application is created in CT either by converting a UC database or by building a new PXC Compact database in the proper structure.

The P2 database is loaded into the PXC Compact on P1 through the HMI port using MMI Database Transfer. To keep the P2 point names unique in CT, the application number is added to the beginning of all corresponding point names. This application number is not used in the P1 database since subpoint names are always unique.

Integrated Systems Binary (ISB) File

An Integrated Systems Binary (ISB) file is created in CT using the Fast Forward Conversion Tool for migration or the P2/P1 Application Converter for new jobs. The ISB file is loaded into the PXC Compact on P1 through the HMI port using Firmware Loading Tool (FLT). The purpose of this file is to cross reference the P2 database points to associated P1 database points in the Application point team.

P1 Point Team Database

A P1 point team database is automatically created in the PXC Compact on P1 once the ISB file and P2 database are loaded into the controller in P1 mode. The point team is required in order to make the controller’s point information available to the host field panel over the P1 FLN.

Point values and status are passed between the P1 database and P2 database using the cross reference table in the ISB file. The P1 database contains the default values, Initial values, COV limits, etc. associated with the application subpoints. This point team is automatically uploaded by the PXC Compact on P1 to the host field panel and Insight for reference.

P1 Mode Application

The PXC Compact on P1 Mode Application supports the following features:

● The P1 Mode Application number range is 3000 to 3999. – Numbers 3900 to 3999 are reserved for Home Office use. – Numbers 3916 and 3924 are reserved for the default slave mode applications.

● P2/P1 Application converter (in Commissioning Tool (CT)) creates an ISB file,

which is the P1 representation of the P2 database.

– P1 Mode Applications are stored in the .ISB file. – The .ISB file is loaded into the PXC Compact on P1 flash memory using CT

Firmware Loading Tool (FLT)

● P1 Mode also uses the standard P2 database that is created using CT. – The P2 database is loaded into the PXC Compact on P1 using MMI Database

Transfer.

● Application Builder can be used to edit custom applications.

● Applications are designed using standard Tools (DT and CT). A P2 database for

each application number is created in System Profile on the APPLICATIONS

ALN (see the following figure). For example, Application 3015 is stored in PXC Compact node 15 on the APPLICATIONS30 ALN.

P1 Mode Point Mapping

● In all P1 Mode applications, the following points are available to be mapped to

virtual points: 3, 4, 7, 9, 17, 18, 19, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 30

– On the PXC-16, P1 points 31 through 46 are mapped to physical points 1 to 16,

and P1 points 47 through 99 are also available to be mapped to virtual points.

– On the PXC-24, P1 points 31 through 54 are mapped to physical points 1 to 24,

and P1 points 55 through 98 are also available to be mapped to virtual points.

● On both the PXC-16 and PXC-24, the following mapping between P1 points and

the PXC Compact on P1 Panel Team points must always exist:

● The following points are not displayed on the P1 FLN; however, these points

remain part of the PXC Compact on P1 Panel Team:

– ALMCNT – ALMCT2 – P1 COMM – SECURE MODE

P1 Mode Operation

● Since an ALN network connection is not present in P1 mode, PXC Compact

applications that support point access across the ALN are limited to local points only.

● In P1 Mode, the PXC Compact, since it emulates an FLN device itself, does not

communicate with any other FLN devices. Thus, all of the FLN device prompts at the HMI will be hidden. See the

Field Panel User's Manual

(125-3000) for more

information.

● HMI prompts have been added to display APOGEE P1 point information. When in

P1 mode, the HMI prompts to display APOGEE P2 point information are still available.

● If switching from P2 to P1 mode, or changing the active P1 Application, the PXC

Compact deletes its database in flash.

● Because the point team and hardware capabilities are different, applications

created for a PXC-16 cannot be used on a PXC-24 and vice-versa.

● PXC Compact on P1 displays as a TEC to ALN field panels and Insight software. It

is compatible to all APOGEE revisions of firmware and software.

● Firmware Revision 2.8.5 and later displays the hand/override/auto status of HOA

subpoints at the ALN panel (*

*). The HOA status will be reported to the ALN level

panel.

– Firmware revisions prior to 2.8.5 will recognize the PXC Compact on P1 as an

FLN device and will not display the override status.

● Firmware Revision 2.8.4 and later provides the ability to backup and restore the

PXC Compact database from the flash memory, in the event the PXC Compact is reset or loses power.

– When the PXC Compact is set to P1 Mode, database restoration from flash is

automatically enabled and 128K of memory is reserved for ISB files.

Figure 5:

P1 Mode Enhanced Field Panel Point Team

The field panel point team is a team of subpoints that are automatically created when the field panel starts up. The point team provides a defined set of points for consistent communication across the network.

All points in the field panel point team may be monitored by the PPCL program in the PXC Compact on P1. The field panel team ADDRESS point (read only) is used as the P1 address in P1 mode, and the P2 ALN address in P2 mode.

The following additional subpoints are automatically added to the field panel point team when the PXC Compact is in P1 mode:

● APPLICATION, DAY.NGT, and OVRD TIME, must be present in every P1 FLN

device.

● APPLICATION is the currently active P1 application at the PXC Compact on P1.

DAY.NGT and OVRD TIME are available for user-defined use with PPCL.

● BATT reflects the status of the lithium battery.

● BATT2 reflects the status of the Real Time Clock. If it has lost time, the coin cell

battery is dead or missing.

● P1 TIMEOUT reflects the current communication status between the PXC Compact

on P1 and its P1 Master Field Panel.

● P1 TIMEOUT is the number of minutes that need to expire with no field panel

polling of the PXC Compact on P1 before the P1 COMM point is changed from YES to NO. PPCL in the PXC Compact on P1can monitor the P1 COMM point, and perform user desired operations.

● YEAR, MONTH, DAY, HOUR, MINUTE, SYNC HOUR, and SYNC NOW, are used

to set and sync the time for the PXC Compact on P1.

– These points can be commanded to set an initial time for the PXC Compact on

P1.

– The PXC Compact on P1 clock can be synchronized with the network time by

using the SYNC HOUR and SYNC NOW points in a PPCL program and the CRTIME resident point in the field panel that has the PXC Compact on its FLN.

– When the SYNC NOW point is commanded to YES, the SYNC HOUR value is

copied to the HOUR point, and the MINUTE point is set to zero.

Hidden Points

Hidden points are available and must be viewed through the field panel.

● P1 COMM is YES when a Field Panel is actively polling the PXC Compact on P1;

otherwise, it is NO.

● SECURE MODE, indicates whether or not secure mode is enabled. – PXC Compact on P1 uses the same Secure Mode messages as the TEC. – Enabling Secure Mode prevents HMI users from modifying the contents of the

PXC Compact database, and all users have only Read-Only access.

Tips for P1 Mode

This section contains tips for working in P1 mode.

Backing up and Restoring the PXC Compact Database

● A database backup to flash overwrites any previous database backed-up to flash.

● A database restore to flash appends to the end of the current PXC Compact

database in flash.

● A database backup takes from 3 seconds (smallest PXC Compact database) to

1:44 minutes (largest possible PXC Compact database).

● A database restore takes from 3 seconds (smallest DB) to 9:40 minutes.

Loading Applications with WCIS

Since WCIS only uploads applications once, you must manually delete the WCIS application file(s) when using the same application number at different job sites. Otherwise, you will load the wrong application at a job site even though the application number is correct.

Merging Multiple Applications into One .ISB File

NOTE:

The ISB file size cannot exceed 128K, which is roughly 12 applications.

Using Application Builder, multiple applications can be merged into a single .ISB file so that a single replacement unit can be on site. At the time of use, the application needed can be selected at the HMI and the PXC Compact on P1 can download the appropriate .P2 file.

Be careful when using the same application number on multiple field panels. It’s possible to load the correct application number, but the wrong points (database).

Using the P1 COMM Panel Team Point

The P1 COMM point (a DI point with NO_YES state text) will reflect the current FLN communication status between the PXC Compact on P1 and its P1 host field panel.

● The P1 COMM point displays a value of YES if the PXC Compact on P1 has

received a P1 Protocol message from its P1 host field panel in the last one minute,

● The P1 COMM point displays a value of NO if the PXC Compact on P1 has not

received a P1 Protocol message from its P1 host field panel in the last one minute.

Note that this one-minute timeout value is configurable through the P1 TIMEOUT point, an AO point with a default value of one minute.

Miscellaneous

● A PXC Compact with Firmware Revision 2.8.3 and later supports Wireless FLN

devices on its FLN (if present); however, the PXC Compact on P1 currently cannot reside on a Wireless FLN.

● A PXC Compact on P1 supports WCIS use through the PXC Compact HMI port.

● Only P1 AO and DO points (and not AI and DI points) can be commanded across

the P1 FLN when working at the PXC Compact on P1.

Referencing Points on the PXC Compact on P1

When working at the

host field panel

(the field panel that has the PXC Compact on P1 on its FLN), points in the PXC Compact on P1 are referenced similar to how TEC subpoints are referenced. For example, if the PXC Compact on P1 name is

PXC13,

the

YEAR point is referenced as PXC13:YEAR.

When working at the HMI of the PXC Compact on P1, the P1 points are not accessed directly. The P2 databases, physical points, virtual points, or panel team points that are mapped to the P1 points are referenced, instead.

● Example of a physical point: AO9

● Example of a panel team point: !Field panel 7:P1 COMM, where

is the P2

address of the PXC Compact.

Procedures for Advanced Features

This section contains the advanced features for setting up a PXC Compact on P1.

Adding Unused I/O for PXC Compact on P1 (Optional)

When a PXC Compact on P1 database is loaded, the controller only configures the point addresses that are defined in the database. Any undefined Input/Output (I/O) points will not be accessible. Consequently, these I/O points cannot be used as spare points in the PXC Compact on P1 in the future. In order to make these spare I/O points available, follow these suggestions:

● For UC to P1PXC Migration, add unused I/O points to the UC database before

starting the migration process.

● For new installations of the PXC Compact on P1, add unused I/O points to the

P1PXC while designing the database in CT.

Tips

● Define the most likely point types that will be used on the site for the spare points.

For example, 1K ohm RTD, 0-10 V, 4-20 mA, LDI, and so on

● If using a PXC-16, be sure to stay within the point count.

● A full UC has 20 Non-DO points and 4 DOs, whereas the PXC-24 has 19 Non-DO

points and 5 DOs. Do the following if one of the Digital Outputs will not be defined:

– After the UC database conversion is complete, add a fifth DO to the Application

database.

– Run the P2/P1 Application Converter tool to add the DO to the P1 point team.

4. Add spare points to the PXC Compact for this application.

Changing the Point Team Descriptor After Database Conversion

If more than 16 characters are entered in the application description, the additional

characters are truncated in the P1 point team.

 Do the following if the point team descriptor needs to be changed after the

database is converted:

1. Open System Profile and double-click the icon for the PXC Compact on P1.

 The Field Panel Definition dialog box opens.

2. In the Descriptor field, change

Application 3xxx

to a 16-character description of the

Value

in this

Appendix

The following point types are not supported by the PXC Compact in P1 mode:

● L2SP

● LOOAL

● LOOAP

● LFSSL

● LFSSP

In the PXC Compact on P1 internal (P2) database, a DO point and DI point can be combined into an L2SL point. However, when this point is converted into the P1 database (with FFC or P2/P1 Application Converter), only the LDO point is defined in the point team because the point team does not support the L2SL point type.

Steps

Do the following in order to use the L2SL functionality at the host field panel and Insight:

1. In the PXC Compact on P1 internal (P2) database, define a separate LDI point with

the same address as the L2SL proof point.

2. Define (manually unbundle) an L2SL point at the host field panel.

3. Define the L2SL at the host field panel using the appropriate DO and DI addresses

from the Application Point Team (3000 to 3899) associated with that particular PXC Compact on P1.

Example

● A PXC Compact on P1 resides on the FLN of a host field panel at panel address 5,

FLN 1, drop address 9 (5.1.9).

● The P2 database of the PXC Compact on P1 has an L2SL defined with DO at

address 24 and DI at address 1. An LDI is also defined separately on address 1.

● The P1 database (point team) defines the separate points were DO is at address

54 and DI is at address 31.

● At the host field panel, you would define an L2SL point with the DO address of

5.1.9.24 and the DI (proof) address of 5.1.9.1. This new point can be alarmed, monitored, and commanded as a normal L2SL point.

Identifying the Hardware Model Used in an Application Design

 Do the following to easily identify the PXC Compact Series hardware model used

in an application design:

1. After the database is converted, open System Profile and double-click the icon for

the PXC Compact on P1.

 The Field Panel Definition dialog box opens.

2. In the Name field, add .PXC16 or .PXC24 to the existing name.

Depending on your account settings, System Profile and MMI Database Transfer displays the hardware information in

Name or System Name.

Program to Allow LPACI Points to Count Over the LAO Maximum Value

NOTE:

This program must be duplicated for each LPACI point that was converted.

A program must be added to the host field panel to allow an LPACI point from a PXC Compact on P1 to count over the LAO maximum value.

During the migration of a UC to a PXC Compact on P1, the UC is converted into a TEC with respect to the Host Field Panel.

● A TEC point team cannot contain an LPACI point type as one of its team members

(subpoints). Therefore, during the UC database conversion, any LPACI points in the UC point team are converted to LAO points. The new LAO points reside in the PXC Compact on P1 (TEC) point team.

● These LAO points roll over to 0 (zero) when a value of up to 65535 times the

LPACI point gain is reached.

Resetting an LPACI to Zero

 To reset the entire LPACI to zero, do the following in this order:

1. Command the FLN P1 point (P1PXC:LPACI) to zero.

2. Command the VIRTCNT point to zero.

Program to Allow the Value to Count up to the Normal LPACI Range

If a maximum value of up to 65535 times the LPACI point gain is not acceptable, implement the following program in the host field panel to allow the value to count up to the normal LPACI range.

110 IF (“P1PXC:LPACI” .EQ. 0) THEN “TEMP” = “TEMP” + 1 ELSE “TEMP”= 0

120 IF (“TEMP” .EQ. 1.0) THEN “VIRTCNT” = “VIRTCNT” + 1 130 “VLPACI” = ((“VIRTCNT” * 65536.0) * GAIN) + “P1PXC:LPACI”

Where: P1PXC:LPACI

is the subpoint of the PXC Compact on P1 which is defined as an LAO

but represents an LPACI input in the PXC Compact on P1.

TEMP

is a virtual LAO point used to make sure the counter only increments once each

time the LPACI point reads 0.

VIRTCNT

is a virtual LAO point used to count how many times the LPACI rolls over to

VLPACI

is a virtual LPACI point used to hold the full LPACI value. (Gain = 1.0)

GAIN

is a virtual LAO point used to hold the gain value of the LPACI point in the PXC

Compact on P1.

Real Time Applications in a PXC Compact on P1

The PXC Compact does not access system time directly when connected over the FLN. Real Time applications operating in the PXC Compact on P1, such as Scheduler, SSTO, TOD, TIME, CRTIME, DAY, or DAYOFM, depend on valid time-date. Trend data depends on valid time-date as well as RAM backup.

Appropriate control points for the host field panel should be created as addressed virtual LDO or LAO points. They will be added to the point team by the P2/P1 App Convert Tool.

Resetting System Time in a PXC Compact on P1

Additional PPCL must be included in the PXC Compact on P1 and its host field panel to ensure time-date remains valid.

See Compact Series Backup Batteries [➙ 23]

for detailed battery operation and how to

access in the PXC Compact.

NOTE:

If needed, access the Real Time Clock (RTC) oscillator status from the host field panel by using the unbundled point team

Create Mainline PPCL to Flag Loss of Time and Execute Alternative Non-Time-Date Routines Until Time-Date is Restored

In the PXC Compact on P1 application database, create an addressed virtual LDO point VTIME and PPCL statement to turn it OFF when BATT2 has a value of 0 during the ONPWRT() routine. VTIME will be used to either stop execution or run the nontime-date routines until time-date is set. If VTIME is OFF, it will be turned ON by the host field panel.

Create a Mainline Program to Update Time-Date Local Variables on each Pass Through PPCL

NOTE:

• The PXC Compact on P1 YEAR, MONTH, DAY, HOUR, and MINUTE resident points can be used to read and set the current time from the host field panel.

• In P1 mode, these points can only be commanded to the following ranges: YEAR (2000 to 2058), MONTH (1 to 12), DAY (1 to 31), HOUR (0 to 23), and MINUTE (0 to

59).

• The host field panel does not itself have year, hour or minute resident points. Its CRTIME is evaluated only once per pass to prevent rollover errors.

• There is not a SECOND point to avoid generating too many COV’s as the time changes at the PXC Compact on P1 every second.

• Local variables are assigned for clarity instead of $LOCn.

Synchronizing System Time in a PXC Compact on P1

● System time in the PXC Compact on P1 can be synchronized daily by the host field

panel.

● The resident P1 points SYNC HOUR (value of 0 to 23) and SYNC NOW (value of

ON or OFF) can be commanded by the host field panel over the FLN.

For example, if the SYNC HOUR point is commanded to 2.0, when the SYNC NOW point is commanded to ON, the time at the PXC Compact on P1 will be set to 2:00 a.m. Note that the SYNC NOW point is automatically reset to OFF by the PXC Compact on P1 once it syncs its time.

Default Applications

Both the PXC-16 and PXC-24 support a default (slave mode) application, which is useful if a custom application has not yet been loaded into the PXC Compact on P1 in an Application ISB file.

● If a PXC Compact is set up in P1 mode without an application number, the default

application is used.

● For the PXC-16 the default application is 3916; for the PXC-24, the default

application is 3924.

● AI and DI points in all applications can only be read (and not commanded).

● AO and DO points can be both read and commanded.

● For compatibility with existing APOGEE tools, Points 1, 2, 20, and 29 are the

traditional FLN points ADDRESS, APPLICATION, OVRD TIME, and DAY.NGT.

● When the PXC-16 is using the default application, the 16 physical I/O points (1 to

16) in the PXC Compact on P1 are mapped to the corresponding P1 points 31 to

46.

● When the PXC-24 is using the default application, the 24 physical I/O points (1 to

24) in the PXC Compact on P1 are mapped to the corresponding P1 points 31 to

54.

PXM10S/T Product Overview and Description

NOTE:

All figures show the BACnet version of the PXM10S and PXM10T

. The appearance of

the proprietary version may differ slightly.

PXM10S and PXM10T are optional controller mounted Operator Display modules that provide a password protected user interface. This interface allows you to interact with the existing field panel database and its immediate sub-networked Siemens (FLN) devices. (Optional remote enclosure door mount kit also available.)

NOTE:

All unacknowledged alarms are viewable even if you are not logged into the module.

Product Description

The PXM10S and PXM10T modules are available as an upgrade for use with all Siemens Compact and Modular Series field panels to provide additional local operator capabilities. The PXM10S and PXM10T modules are field mounted and replace the field panel covers.

There are three dedicated buttons, ALARM, INFO, ESC and one push DIAL. These buttons, the push dial, and LCD display screen allow for interactive feedback at the field panel controller.

The PXM10S and PXM10T modules support all the languages loaded in the host field panel.

There are two versions of the modules as follows:

● PXM10S has all available options, including Point Monitor and optional blue

backlight color.

● PXM10T does not include the Point Monitor or the optional blue backlight color.

Language selection and user account timeout settings are configurable using an operator workstation or HyperTerminal at the field panel’s HMI.

All PXM10S/T preferences are panel-specific and stored in the local panel configuration data.

Product Features

The PXM10S and PXM10T modules provide the following features:

● Plug and Play - Upon connection to the host field panel, the device is recognized

and fully functional.

● Hot Swappable – The module can be installed or removed without powering down

the controller and interrupting facility operations.

● User-friendly navigation and menu structure.

● Push DIAL for easy operation.

● Alarm button with red LED indicator for local alarm annunciations.

● INFO button provides one touch access to detailed system information for points.

● Manual and automatic login option for enhanced security or easy access.

● View point information and status, view and acknowledge alarms, and

command/release local field panel points.

● Point Monitor – Can customize a group of points to continuously display and

refresh with updated values (PXM10S only).

● Multi-language (English, Simplified Chinese, French, and Korean) support.

● The PXM10S and PXM10T modules can also be mounted on the inside or outside

of an enclosure door, using an optional accessory sold separately.

Communication Connections

A field panel fully powered and running Firmware Revision 2.8.6/3.2.2 or later, recognizes the PXM10S and PXM10T modules within approximately 5 seconds of connection. Prior to that, the Operator Display is not operational.

If a field panel is coldstarted or it’s the first time the panel is powered up, it takes approximately 15 to 30 seconds after connection before the PXM10S and PXM10T module is operational.

Requirements

System Requirements

The PXM10S and PXM10T modules can be used with Compact platforms (PXC-36, PXC-24, and PXC-16), as well as with the PXC Modular field panels.

NOTE:

The PXM10S or PXM10T module firmware uses the proprietary Siemens PXM10 protocol to communicate with the host field panel.

During heavy network activity, the PXM10S and PXM10T module performance may degrade causing slower refresh rates. Furthermore, the performance of the field panel may also be impacted if the PXM10S or PXM10T module is being used on a field panel that has a significant workload.

Hardware Platform

The PXM10T and PXM10S modules can be used on all Siemens Compact and Modular series controllers. An additional connecting ribbon cable (part number PXAHMI.CABLEP5) is required when mounting to a PXC16 or PXC24.

Firmware Platform

The PXM10T and PXM10S modules are compatible with all Siemens Compact and Modular series controllers using Firmware Revision 2.8.6/3.2.2 or later (proprietary protocol/BACnet).

Application Menus

The following application menus are provided with the PXM10S and PXM10T modules.

● Login

● Alarms

● Points (Command and Release)

● Point Monitor

● Logoff

● Settings

NOTE:

You must have sufficient operator access permissions to the Alarms, Points, and Point Monitor applications to fully use all features and corresponding submenus.

Alarm Window

There are two ways to view alarms, both of which display the alarm list with the point system name and status:

● Alarm button. Provides direct access to the list of unacknowledged alarms.

● Alarm menu. Displays any point in alarm, regardless if it has been acknowledged

or not and provides three generic filters:

– Unacknowledged Alarms filter allows you to filter all alarms and lists only

unacknowledged alarms in local system.

– All Alarms filter allows you to view all acknowledged and unacknowledged

alarms in the system.

– Failures/Faults filter allows you to view all failures/faults in the system for which

alarming has been enabled.

Pressing the INFO button for point information displays:

● For APOGEE:

– system name – alarm time – acknowledged time – acknowledge pending – point value – point status

Unitary Equipment Controller

The Unitary Equipment Controller (UEC) is a BACnet MS/TP only controller (PXC16/24 hardware platform). Although intended primarily to be connected as an FLN device (shipped from the factory in FLNnode mode), the UEC can be switched to run in ALNnode mode and connected as an MS/TP ALN device. In which case the UEC behaves like an ALN device.

When connected as an FLN device, the UEC minimizes proprietary ping communications and turns off proprietary global data replication. However, it continues to support Confirmed Private Transfer (CPT) on all proprietary APOGEE messages, and is recognized as a Siemens device.

● The UEC can reference external objects using either Device Specific Name or

BACnet Encoded Name.

● Functionality of the UEC Ethernet port is limited to Telnet and FTP.

NOTE: Newer models do not support Ethernet ports.

● The UEC supports the PXM10S and PXM10T controller mounted operator display

modules.

● The UEC does not support HOA modules (PXA8-M, PXA16-M, PXA16-MR).

● Scheduling, trending, and alarming are limited to local objects. The following

BIBBS are not supported:

– AE-N-E-B (External Algorithmic Alarming) – T-VMT-E-B (External Trend) – SCHED-E-B (External Schedule)

NOTE:

If a Host/Supervisory field panel references a UEC subpoint, the Host panel must be upgraded to Firmware Revision 2.8.6/3.2.2 or later.

FLN Node Mode

When the UEC is operating in FLNnode mode, it has the capability to monitor points from other devices, and recognize the point by device specific name, or BACnet encoded name. However a point log display should show only points that reside locally on the UEC.

Some functions, depending on the exchange of proprietary messages, such as replication, and database download, are not available. BACnet Encoded names or device specific names must be used for referencing external objects.

● Only visible to the Web Server when defined as a FLN device.

● Operates on the FLN without replication.

● Cannot be programmed from an ALN device, if added as an FLN device.

● Recognized as a Siemens device.

● Exposes application number and default subpoint.

● Supports failure detection of the UEC by other nodes.

● Limited support of failure detection of other nodes by the UEC, only when defined

as a node of interest.

● No global data such as BLN User account or State Text tables support.

● No database upload and download from Insight but database can be saved in

panel flash memory.

● Proprietary messages generated using HMI are processed as usual.

● Proprietary messages received using comm port from Commissioning Tool (CT)

processed as usual.

● Save, upload and download database information using Field Panel Web Server UI

(FPWeb UI)and Siemens Launch Pad.

● PPCL Assist for programming over the network using FPWeb UI and Siemens

Launch Pad.

● Field panel support for FIN Builder graphics with Firmware Revision 3.3.1 and later.

● Support for totalization for analog and multistate points with Firmware Revision 3.4

and later.

ALN Node Mode

When the UEC is operating in ALNnode mode, it retains the capability to monitor points from other devices and recognizes the point by system name, device specific name, or BACnet encoded name.

All functions depending on the exchange of proprietary messages, such as discovery, replication, and database download, are available. System name, device specific name and BACnet encoded names are supported for referencing external objects.

● Only visible to Commissioning Tool (CT) for editing and commissioning when

defined as ALN device.

● Time is synchronized with the Insight workstation.

● In the event of a network failure, the UEC independently maintains control of the

time and scheduling, trending, and alarming.

● An Integration FLN, with Integration Driver support for FPWeb allows FLNs to be

viewed and modified from FPWeb UI in Kiosk mod.

Service Information

This section describes corrective measures you can take if you encounter a problem with a PXC Compact Series controller.

NOTE:

When removing power to a controller to perform maintenance or service, make sure that the person in charge of the facility is aware of this and that appropriate steps are taken to keep the building in control.

To view the status of the PXC Compact and to call up reports for troubleshooting, you can use an operator's terminal and the operator interface or an Insight workstation. For more information, see the following documentation:

● APOGEE P2 ALN Field Panel User's Manual (125-3019) or the APOGEE BACnet

ALN Field Panel User's Manual (125-3020) (125-3019 or 125-3020).

● Insight

Revision 3.x Documentation

. To view this documentation, see the Insight Online Documentation window, which you can access from the Insight Main Menu or the Insight program group.

It is good practice to back up the PXC Compact database routinely and whenever changes are made to the database or new equipment is added.

While performing the troubleshooting procedures outlined in this manual, you may wish to refer to the APOGEE Wiring Guidelines for Field Panels and Equipment Controllers (125-3002).

Electrostatic Discharge

An electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap is generally not required when installing or servicing a PXC Compact. However, if the field panel is installed in a very dry environment where a high static discharge is likely, an ESD wrist strap is recommended.

Ordering Replacement Parts

If a PXC Compact Series is not operating correctly, it should be replaced.

Replacing the Batteries

Errors

The error E3600(0x0E10) - Invalid FLN number displays when adding a point to a PXC-16 or PXC-24 with FLN support.

 Since the PXC-16 and PXC-24 support only one FLN port, only 0 or 1 can be

entered for the FLN number.

PXC Compact program and database are not down-line loading properly.

 Verify that the Insight software is at least Revision 3.7 (PXC-16 and PXC-24) or

3.10 (PXC-36).

Troubleshooting the TX-I/O Island Bus

The 24 Vac LED on the TX-I/O Power Supply or the P1 Bus Interface Module (BIM) is OFF.

1. Check for 24 Vac input.

2. Replace the fuse (4A, 5 × 20 mm, 250V, medium-acting, ceramic fuse).

All points on the TX-I/O island bus are failed.

1. Verify all three signals, System Neutral ( ), Communication Data (CD), and

Communication Supply (CS) are connected throughout the entire TX-I/O island

bus.

The I/O module status LED (under the address key) is flashing or the I/O point status LED is flashing on an open point. All points are operating normally.

CAUTION

The TX-I/O™ island bus must extend from the male bus connector of the TX-I/O

Power Supply or Bus Connection Module.

• The TX-I/O Power Supply and Bus Connection Module only supply 24 Vac to I/O modules on the male bus connector.

• I/O modules on the female bus connector of the TX-I/O Power Supply or Bus Connection Module do not receive power and have a fault condition.

A point is failed or the point type displayed does not correspond to the point type defined in the database.

1. Using the job drawing or TX-I/O Island Bus layout sheet, verify that the address

keys are in the correct module.

2. Reset the module to factory settings.

– Verify that the module is supplied with 24 Vdc. – Remove keys that are in the wrong module.

– Insert and then remove the reset key. – Cycle power to the module. – Insert the correct address key.

A current point on a Super Universal Module is failed.

 Verify that the sensor supply wire is connected to the DC terminal (3, 11, 20, or

28).

Modules begin oscillating; island bus communication shuts down

 Reset: Switch off the 24 Vac supply of the PXC Modular, PXC-36, or P1 BIM.

Relays and current outputs have a power consumption that depends on the supply voltage (module supply 24 Vdc). The power consumption of an I/O island will rise when all relays are active and all current outputs deliver 20 mA. This causes a drop in the supply voltage.

If too many of these outputs are configured, the voltage may drop too much so that all modules switch off. When the voltage recovers, the modules switch on again, and so forth, 1 to 2 times per second.

In this case, the PXC Modular, PXC-36, or P1 BIM reacts by switching off the communication after 5 cycles (shortcut between CD and CS, the COM LED will light brightly).

Troubleshooting the LCD Panel Indications

NOTE:

Physical points on an I/O module hold the last configuration until characterized with a different type--even when the logical point is deleted from the database. Use the reset key to remove the physical point configuration from all points on an I/O module.

When troubleshooting an I/O module that does not have an LCD panel or manual override switches, you may wish to temporarily install a TXM1.8X-ML or TXM1.8U-ML plug-in module. This allows you to quickly review the module status and error indications. Do the following to temporarily replace the plug-in module:

1. Remove the address key from the I/O module.

2. Remove the plug-in module from its terminal base.

3. Insert the TXM1.8X-ML or TXM1.8U-ML plug-in module.

4. Insert the reset key.

 All of the module status LEDs briefly light to indicate the temporary plug-in

module has been reset.

5. Remove the reset key and reinsert the address key.

6. Troubleshoot using the LCD panel indications.

7. When done, remove the TXM1.8X-ML or TXM1.8U-ML plug-in module.

8. Reinsert the original plug-in module and its address key.

Invalid process value (current output) ● Ensure the output current loop is intact.

● The ? symbol has higher priority than the ! symbol.

No sensor (current input)

● Ensure the sensor power wire is landed on the sensor power terminals of an 8X module (3, 11, 20, or 28) and not on field device supply terminals (7, 15, 24, or 32) of 8U or 8X modules.

● Verify the external wire at the sensor.

● An internal sensor wire may have a break.

Value above range limit

● NTC resistance is too low (temperature over range).

● RTD resistance is too high (temperature over range).

● The voltage or current input is too high.

range) or there is an open circuit.

● RTD resistance is too low (temperature under

range).

● The voltage or current input is too low.

Open circuit (NTC, RTD, voltage) ● Check for an open wire or failed sensor.

● Not available on current, NTC or digital inputs or

outputs.

Short circuit (NTC, RTD) ● Check for a shorted wire or failed sensor.

● Not available on current, voltage or digital inputs

or outputs.

Point type not supported in manual override

● Displays when pressing the override button on an

input.

● The LED indicates the value or state of the input.

Resetting an I/O Module to Factory Settings

Use this procedure in the following situations:

● If an I/O module was previously configured with a different address key or a

different point database, such as a different sensor type.

● You want to force the PXC Modular, PXC-36, or P1 BIM to reconfigure a module.

Do the following to reset a module to the factory settings:

1. Verify that the module is supplied with 24 Vdc.

2. Remove the address key.

 The module's status LED starts dual-pulsing.

3. Insert the reset key.

 All of the module status LEDs briefly light to indicate the module has been

reset.

4. Remove the reset key.

5. Cycle power to the module.

6. Reinsert the address key.  After the reset, the modules operate with the factory default function for each I/O

point. Any previous local override settings are deleted.

Replacing a TX-I/O Plug-in Module

NOTE:

If reusing an I/O module, reset the module to factory settings before you begin.

The plug-in module of a TX-I/O module assembly can be replaced at any time by the same or a compatible I/O module type, even while the system is running.

1. Swivel the address key outward to switch off the load to the I/O module.

 Leave the base of the key plugged into the terminal base.

2. Remove the plug-in module from its terminal base.

3. Insert the new plug-in module.

4. Swivel the address key back into position.  As soon as the new module starts communicating with the PXC Modular, PXC-36,

or P1 BIM, it is configured according to the module address and starts operation shortly afterward.

Replacing a TX-I/O Module Assembly

NOTE:

If reusing an I/O module, reset the module to factory settings before you begin.

NOTE:

When replacing a complete TX-I/O module assembly, the adjacent plug-in module on the male bus connector must first be removed from its terminal base. Otherwise, the module assembly catches on the bus connector.

1. Working on the adjacent TX-I/O module on the male bus connecter, swivel the

address key out of the plug-in module.

 Leave the base of the key plugged into the terminal base.

2. Remove the adjacent I/O module from its terminal base.

3. Working on the TX-I/O module being removed, pull the mounting tabs outward.

4. Remove the complete TX-I/O module assembly (plug-in module and terminal

base).

 Removing the terminal base interrupts the Island Bus communication and

power.

5. Insert the new TX-I/O module assembly without an address key.

6. Push in the mounting tabs on the terminal base.

7. Move the address key from the old module to the new one and swivel it into

position.

8. Plug the adjacent I/O module back into its terminal base, and swivel the address

key back into position.

 As soon as the new module starts communicating with the PXC Modular, PXC-36,

or P1 BIM, it is configured according to the module address and starts operation shortly afterward.
