Description
The PXC Compact Series (Programmable Controller Compact) is a high-performance Direct Digital Control (DDC) supervisory equipment controller, which is an integral part of the APOGEE Automation System. The PXC Compact Series offers integrated I/O based on state-of-the-art TX-I/O Technology, which provides superior flexibility of point and signal types, and makes it an optimal solution for AHU control. The controller operates stand-alone or networked to perform complex control, monitoring, and energy management functions without relying on a higherlevel processor. The PXC Compact Series supports the following communication options: Ethernet TCP/IP RS-485 The PXC Compact is available in 16- or 24-point versions with optional support for FLN devices (requires additional license). Selected models also include an extended temperature range for the control of rooftop devices.

Hardware
The PXC Compact Series consists of the following three major components, all included on a single board.
PXC-16
In addition to building and system management functions, the PXC-16 provides control of 16 points, including 8 software-configurable universal points. Point count includes: 3 Universal Input (UI), 5 Universal I/O (U), 2 Digital Input (DI), 3 Analog Output (AOV), and 3 Digital Output (DO).
Input/Output Points
The PXC Compact contains 16 or 24 points that perform A/D or D/A conversion, signal processing, point command output, and communication with the controller processor. The terminal blocks are removable for easy termination of field wiring. The Universal and Super Universal points leverage TX-I/O Technology from Siemens Building Technologies to configure an extensive variety of point types. Universal Input (UI) and Universal Input/Output (U) points are software-selectable to be: 0-10V input 4-20 mA input Digital Input Pulse Accumulator inputs 1K Ni RTD @ 32F (L&G Ni 1K) 1K Pt RTD (375 or 385 alpha) @ 32F 10K NTC Type 2 Thermistor 100K NTC Type 2 Thermistor 0-10V Analog Output (Universal Input/Output (U) points only)
PXC-24
In addition to building and system management functions, the PXC-24 provides control of 24 points, including 16 software-configurable universal points. Point count includes: 3 Universal Input (UI), 9 Universal I/O (U), 4 Super Universal I/O (X), 3 Analog Output (AOV), 5 Digital Output (DO).
Available Options
The following options are available to match the application:
FLN Support
The "F" models of the PXC Compact Series support one P1 RS-485 FLN network of up to 32 devices when the ALN is connected to TCP/IP. (Additional license required.) A Wireless FLN may also be used to replace the traditional P1 FLN cabling with wireless communication links that form a wireless mesh network. Additional hardware is required to implement the Wireless FLN. For more information about FLN support, contact your local Siemens Building Technologies representative.
Super Universal (X) points (PXC-24 only) are software-selectable to be: 0-10V input 4-20 mA input Digital Input Pulse Accumulator inputs 1K Ni RTD @ 32F (L&G Ni 1K) 1K Pt RTD (375 or 385 alpha) @ 32F 10K NTC Type 2 Thermistor 100K NTC Type 2 Thermistor 0-10V Analog Output 4-20 mA Analog Output Digital Output (using external relay)
Dedicated Digital Input (DI) points (PXC-16 only) are dry contact status sensing. Digital Output (DO) points are 110/220V 4 Amp (resistive) Form C relays; LEDs indicate the status of each point. Dedicated Analog Output (AOV) points support 0-10V.

Power Supply
The 24 volt DC power supply provides regulated power to the input/output points and active sensors. The power supply is internal to the PXC Compact housing, eliminating the need for external power supply and simplifying installation and troubleshooting. The power supply works with the processor to ensure smooth power up and power down sequences for the equipment controlled by the I/O points, even through brownout conditions.
Controller Processor
The PXC Compact Series includes a microprocessor-based multi-tasking platform for program execution and communications with the I/O points and with other PXC Compacts and field panels over the ALN. An RS-232 operator terminal port, with a quickconnect phone jack (RJ-45), supports operator devices (such as a local user interface or simple CRT terminal), and a phone modem for dial-in service capability. When battery replacement is necessary, the controller board illuminates a battery low status LED. The firmware, including the operating system, is stored in non-volatile flash ROM memory. Flash ROM is easily upgradeable at the job site. This provides for ease of upgrade as new firmware updates are made available. Brownout protection and power recovery circuitry protect the controller board from power fluctuations. LEDs provide instant visual indication of overall operation, network communication, and low battery warning.
