FX-PCG26 General Purpose Programmable

Controller Installation Instructions

Application

The FX-PCG controller is part of the Facility Explorer® Programmable Controller (FX-PC) family.

These controllers run pre-engineered and user-programmed applications and provide the inputs

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

The FX-PCG controllers operate on an RS-485 BACnet® MS/TP Bus as BACnet Application Specific

Controllers (B-ASCs) and integrate into Johnson Controls® and third-party BACnet systems.

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

Switchable communications protocols

The FX-PC Family Controllers and network sensors communicate using the standard BACnet

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

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

FX-PCG, FX-PCX, and FX-PCV Field controllers are BTL-listed as BACnet Application Specific

Controllers (B-ASCs). FX-PCA field controllers and the PCV1930 Field Controller are BTL-listed as

BACnet Advanced Application Controllers (B-AACs). The NS Series Sensors are BTL-listed as BACnet

Smart Sensors (B-SSs).

Release 10.1 of the Controller Configuration Tool (CCT) 13.0 and later can be used to switch the

Field Bus communications protocol in supported FX-PC 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.

The Modernization Guide for Legacy N2 Controllers (LIT-12012045) and the controller-specific

documentation provide installation and commissioning support and include tips for efficient

and safe replacement. Refer to the N2 Compatibility Options chapter of the Controller Tool

Help (LIT-12011147) for information about mapping N2 Objects in controllers with switchable

communications protocols.

The N2-capable FX-PC Controllers can be used as functional replacements for legacy N2 controllers.

The N2-capable FX-PC Controllers:

• have the I/O quantities and characteristics of the FX-PC family controllers

• must be programmed with CCT which has programming capabilities that are similar (but not

identical) to HVACPro, GX9100, GPL, and other legacy tools

• support SA Bus devices

• support FX-WRZ wireless sensors from the controller using the FX-WRZ7860 receiver when

configured for BACnet MS/TP communication

The N2-capable FX-PC controllers:

• do not support Zone Bus (for example, TMZ sensors and M100 actuators)

• do not support passthrough in the commissioning mode

• do not support remote downloading or commissioning using BACnet routing

• do not support wireless connection to the N2 bus

the FX-PC Series Controllers MS/TP Communications Bus Technical Bulletin (LIT-12011670) or MS/TP

Communications Bus for BCPro System Technical Bulletin (LIT-12011908).

Terminal blocks and bus ports

See Figure 3 for terminal block and bus port locations on the controller. Observe the following

guidelines when wiring a controller.

Input and Output terminal blocks

All of the fixed input terminal blocks are mounted on the bottom of the controller and the output

terminal blocks are mounted on the top of the controller. See Table 4 for more information about I/

O terminal functions, requirements, and ratings.

FC bus terminal block

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

Wire the removable FC bus terminal block plugs on the controller, and other controllers in a daisy-

chain configuration using 3-wire twisted, shielded cable as shown below. See Table 6 for more

information.

Figure 4: FC bus terminal block wiring

7FX-PCG26 General Purpose Programmable Controller Installation Instructions

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 the following figure. See

Table 6 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.

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 FX-BTCVT Bluetooth® Commissioning Converter, or FX-ZFR1811 Wireless Field

Bus Router.

The FC bus port is connected internally to the FC bus terminal block. See Table 6 for more

information. The FC bus Port pin assignment is shown in Figure 6.

FX-PCG26 General Purpose Programmable Controller Installation Instructions8

Figure 6: Pin number assignments for sensor, and SA bus ports on controllers

Sensor port

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

that provides a connection for the Bluetooth Commissioning Converter, the VAV 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. An FX-DIS Local Controller Display also can be connected to the SA Bus

port (but only on FX-PCG models without integral display and push buttons).

The Sensor port is connected internally to the SA bus terminal block. See Table 6 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 below. The middle terminal on the supply power terminal block is not used.

See Table 6 for more information about the Supply Terminal Block.

9FX-PCG26 General Purpose Programmable 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 FX-PCG does not require an earth ground connection.

Wireless network applications

The controller can also be installed in a wireless application using an FX-ZFR Wireless Field Bus

Router.

To configure a controller for use with the FX-ZFR Series 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 a PCX to an SA bus only.)

2. Connect the FX-ZFR181x or FX-ZFR182x Wireless Field Bus Router to the FC bus port (RJ-12
