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 8.

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.
