Application

The FEC16 Field Equipment Controller (FEC) is part of the Metasys®system Field Equipment Controller family.

The FEC16 controller runs pre-engineered and user-programmed applications and provides the inputs and outputs

required to monitor and control a wide variety of HVAC equipment.

The FEC controllers can communicate using either BACnet Master-Slave/Token-Passing (MS/TP) or N2

communications protocols. These controllers used as MS/TP devices operate on an RS-485 BACnet®MS/TP Bus

as BACnet Application Specific Controllers (B-ASC) and integrate into Johnson Controls®and third-party BACnet

systems.

The FEC16 controller is available with or without an integral LCD and push-button user interface.

Communications Protocol

The Metasys®system FEC Family Controllers and network sensors communicate using either the standard BACnet

protocol, based on the ANSI/ASHRAE 135-2008, or the BACnet/IP protocol. The BACnet protocol is a standard for

ANSI, ASHRAE, and the International Standards Organization (ISO) for building controls.

FEC, VMA16, VMA18, and most IOM field controllers are BTL-listed as BACnet Application Specific Controllers

(B-ASCs). FAC field controllers and the VMA1930 Field Controller are BTL-listed as BACnet Advanced Application

Controllers (B-AACs).

Release 10.1 and later of the Controller Configuration Tool (CCT) can be used to switch the Field Bus communications

protocol in supported FEC, FAC and VMA controllers to be either the standard BACnet MS/TP or the N2 protocol.

All new controllers use either BACnet MS/TP as the default communications protocol, or BACnet/IP. Switchable

communications protocols in the MS/TP models provide a cost-effective upgrade and modernization path for customers

with existing N2 controllers.

Note: The FC bus Shield (SHLD) terminal is isolated and can be used to connect (daisy chain) the shields for FC

bus wiring.

SA Bus Terminal Block

The SA Bus terminal block is a brown, removable, 4-terminal plug that fits into a board-mounted jack.

Wire the removable SA Bus terminal block plugs on the controller and other SA Bus devices in a daisy-chain

configuration using 4-wire twisted, shielded cable as shown in Figure 5. See Table 5 for more information.

Figure 5: SA Bus Terminal Block Wiring

Note: The SA PWR terminal supplies 15 VDC. The SA PWR terminal can be used to connect (daisy chain) the 15

VDC power leads on the SA bus.

7FEC1611 and FEC1621 Field Equipment Controller Installation Instructions

FC Bus Port

The FC bus port on the front of the controller is an RJ-12, 6-position modular jack that provides a connection for the

Wireless Commissioning Converter or any models of the ZFR or ZFR Pro Routers for wireless field bus applications.

The FC bus port is connected internally to the FC bus terminal block. See Table 5 for more information. The FC bus

Port pin assignment is shown in Figure 6.

Note: When an FEC is configured for N2 network communication, the FC bus port is not used.

Figure 6: Pin Number Assignments for Sensor, SA Bus, and FC Bus Ports on Controllers

Sensor Port

The Sensor (SA Bus) port on the bottom of the controller (Figure 3) is an RJ-12, 6-position modular jack that provides

a connection for the Wireless Commissioning Converter, the VAV box Balancing Tool, specified network sensors,

or other SA Bus devices with RJ-12 plugs.

When the FEC is configured for N2 communication, the SA Bus port must be used to download and commission

the controller.

A DIS1710 Local Controller Display also can be connected to the SA Bus port (but only on FEC models without

integral display and pushbuttons).

The Sensor port is connected internally to the SA bus terminal block. See Table 5 for more information. The Sensor

Port pin assignment is shown in Figure 6.

Supply Power Terminal Block

The 24 VAC supply power terminal block is a gray, removable, 3-terminal plug that fits into a board-mounted jack

on the top right of the controller.

Wire the 24 VAC supply power wires from the transformer to the HOT and COM terminals on the terminal plug as

shown in Figure 7. The middle terminal on the supply power terminal block is not used. See Table 5 for more

information about the Supply Terminal Block.

8FEC1611 and FEC1621 Field Equipment Controller Installation Instructions

Figure 7: 24 VAC Supply Power Terminal Block Wiring

Note: The supply power wire colors may be different on transformers from other manufacturers. Refer to the

transformer manufacturer’s instructions and the project installation drawings for wiring details.

Important: Connect 24 VAC supply power to the controller and all other network devices so that transformer

phasing is uniform across the network devices. Powering network devices with uniform 24 VAC supply

power phasing reduces noise, interference, and ground loop problems. The controller does not require

an earth ground connection.

Wireless Field Bus Applications

When configured for BACnet MS/TP communication, the controller can also be installed in a ZFR/ZFR Pro Wireless

Field Bus System.

To configure a controller for use with a Wireless Field Bus system:

1. Wire the input/output terminals and SA bus.

Note: In wireless network applications, do not connect any wires to the FC Bus terminal block. (Connect the

SA/FC terminal block on an Input/Output Module (IOM) to an SA bus only.)

2. Connect the ZFR/ZFR Pro Wireless Field Bus Router to the FC bus port (RJ-12 modular jack) on the front of the

controller.

3. Ensure that the controller's device address DIP switches are set to the correct device address. See Setting the

Device Addresses.

4. Set DIP switch 128 to ON, which enables wireless operation on the controller.

For more information on the ZFR Pro Wireless Field Bus system, refer to the WNC1800/ZFR182x Pro Series

Wireless Field Bus System Product Bulletin (LIT-12012320).

For more information on the ZFR Wireless Field Bus system, refer to the ZFR1800 Series Wireless Field Bus
