Applications
Basic Operation
The Unit Conditioner Controller — Electronic Output provides Direct Digital Control (DDC)
technology for pressure dependent Variable Air Volume (VAV), fan coil, and induction unit
applications. The pressure dependent VAV applications control space temperature by
directly driving the damper. There is no airflow measurement and no explicit flow control.
The fan coil and induction applications control temperature with hot water or up to three
stages of electric reheat, chilled water, or up to two stages of direct expansion cooling.
Control Temperature Setpoints

The controller maintains a specified temperature based on Day/Night mode or the setpoint
dial (if used).
Day/Night Mode
The controller maintains the specified day setpoint temperature during daytime hours and the
specified night setpoint at night.
Night Mode Override Switch

If the RTS has an override switch, it can be used to command the controller into day mode.
This only affects a controller in night mode.
Control Loops
Temperature Loop – Heating Loop – Cooling Loop – maintains temperature setpoint by
modulating the heating source, cooling source, or damper.
Calibration
Calibration may be set to take place automatically or manually.
..Valve – Calibration of a hot water valve (if used) is done by briefly commanding the valve
closed. .
Fail-safe Operation
If the RTS fails, then the controller operates using the last known temperature value.

Secure Mode Operation

The Unit Conditioner Controller—Electronic Output with Secure Mode, product number 540-
110C, has Secure Mode. When Secure Mode is enabled, any attempts to make point
changes in the TEC through the MMI port or connected RTS will be rejected and result in an
error message indicating that the priority is too low. This mode can only be enabled/disabled
through the Insight workstation.
Heating and Cooling Switchover

The heating/cooling switchover determines whether the controller is in heating or cooling
mode by monitoring the room temperature and the demand for heating and cooling (as
determined by the temperature control loops).
Hot Water ReheatWhen the controller is in cooling mode, the heating valve(s) are closed.
The heating loop modulates the heating valve(s) to warm up the room. In cooling mode, the
heating valve is closed.
If more than one valve is present, the two valves can be sequenced in series or parallel.
Electric Reheat
CAUTION:
Verify that the equipment is supplied with safeties by others to ensure that there is airflow
across the heating coils when they are to be energized.
The heating loop controls up to three stages of electric reheat to warm up the room. The
electric reheat is time modulated using a duty cycle. When the controller is in cooling mode,
the electric heat is OFF at all times.
Staged Cooling
When the controller is in cooling mode, up to two stages of cooling can be cycled to maintain
temperature. In heating mode, the cooling stages are off.
Fan Operation
In day mode, the fan can be set to be ON all the time or cycle on when heating or cooling is
needed.
In night mode, the fan cycles ON when heating or cooling is needed.
Notes
1. If the temperature swings in the room are excessive, or if there is trouble in maintaining
the setpoint, contact your local Siemens Building Technologies, Inc. representative for
more information.
2. The Unit Conditioner Controller — Electronic Output, as shipped from the factory, keeps
all associated equipment OFF. The controller and its equipment are released to
application control at start-up.

Application 2090/2188 Slave Mode

Overview
Application 2090 is the slave mode application for the Unit Conditioner Controller —
Electronic Output (P/N 540-110). Application 2188 is the slave mode application with Secure
Mode (P/N 540-110C). Slave mode is the default application that comes up when power is
first applied to the controller. Slave mode provides no control. Its purpose is to allow the
operator to perform equipment checkout before a control application is put into effect and to
set some basic controller parameters (CTLR ADDRESS, APPLICATION, etc.).
Using Auxiliary Points

It is possible to have extra points available on a Unit Conditioner Controller — Electronic
Output in addition to the ones used by the current application that is running in the controller.
If these extra points are to be controlled by a field panel, then they must be unbundled at the
field panel.
Using the Controller as a Point Extension Device

If the controller is only used as a point extension device, with no control application in affect,
then its application must be set to slave mode and the points must be unbundled at the field
panel. All points must be controlled from the field panel in order to be used.
All DOs can be used as separate DOs. They can also be used in pairs, (DO 1 and DO 2),
(DO 3 and DO 4), and (DO 5 and DO 6), to control a motor as shown in the example.
NOTE: If using either a motor or DOs as auxiliary points, be sure to set MTR SETUP
(Point 58) to the correct value. See Table 2-2. If using a pair of DOs to control a
motor, then the DOs can not be unbundled or commanded separately. Only MTR
1 COMD (Point 48), MTR 2 COMD (Point 52), and MTR3 COMD (Point 37) can
be unbundled to control the motors.

The PXC Modular Series is fully compatible with, and will communicate with, all the
APOGEE or pre-APOGEE products in your facility.
For more information on compatibility of products, contact your Siemens Industry
representative.
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 will not be able to view features in newer firmware revisions, or you
may coldstart the field panel.
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.
12
01/26/2011
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 Modular 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 Insight 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.
13
01/26/2011
Principles of Field Panel Operation
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.

The PXC Modular Series gathers information about the environment of your facility, as
well as the equipment it monitors and controls. The PXC Modular receives updated
information, stores information, executes control programs, handles operator
commands and requests, and makes control management decisions. At the same
time, the PXC Modular also translates decisions into actions and allows the operator to
observe those actions. The operator can also override and modify the decisions made
by the PXC Modular.
14
01/26/2011
Gathering and Processing Field Inputs

The PXC Modular samples the information at all field inputs, or points, approximately
once each second, and stores numerical representations of the sampled values.
Under certain conditions, some points require additional handling. The PXC Modular
initiates required actions after these points are checked against previously-entered
configuration data.
Example
A log entry might be required in a point history file every 20 samples, or notification of
an alarm condition could be sent to the operator as a point crossed the alarm
threshold.
Executing Control Programs

The PXC Modular continuously executes a user-defined set of instructions called the
control program. This program uses the most recent point values and the most recent
clock time. The control program does the following:
 Evaluates control strategies.
 Uses an internal calendar and time clock for time-based functions.
 Updates point values and commands field points according to the program results.
 Sends messages or reports to proper terminal locations as needed.
Example
During occupied hours (7:00 A.M. through 5:00 P.M.) a fan:
 Turns ON if the room temperature rises above 80°F (27°C).
 Turns OFF when the temperature drops below 73°F (23°C).
Between 5:00 P.M. and 7:00 A.M. the fan turns OFF regardless of the room
temperature.
If the temperature rises to 85°F (29°C) at any time, the PXC Modular sends an alarm
message to an alarm printer.
These specifications can be met by:
1. Connecting a room temperature sensor/transmitter and fan starter output to the
PXC Modular.
2. Defining the room temperature sensor with a high alarm limit of 85°F (29°C) and
the fan points in the PXC Modular database.
3. Writing a short control program that defines your control strategy.
4. Enabling the execution for that portion of the control program.
To perform this control strategy, the PXC Modular:
 Continuously executes the control program.
 Samples a current or voltage signal representing the room temperature and
updates the value associated with that temperature in its memory.
15
01/26/2011
– If the temperature rises to 85°F (29°C), then the PXC Modular sends an alarm
message to the printer.
 Checks the current time once per second.
– Between 5:00 P.M. and 7:00 A.M., the fan remains OFF.
– Between 7:00 A.M. and 5:00 P.M., the control program checks the current
value of the temperature and sends the appropriate ON or OFF command to
the fan starter.
If the ON command is issued, the PXC Modular updates the value of the starter point
in its memory to reflect the current state of the fan.
System Program
The PXC Modular 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 [➙ 27].
General functionality of the firmware includes:
 Executing control programs.
 Communicating between other field panels and the Insight 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 Modular.
License Manager
License Manager adds applications or functionality to a field panel without the need to
replace the hardware or perform a firmware flash. Field panels with Firmware Revision
2.8.2/3.0.1 or later support the License Management attribute.
Contact your Siemens Industry representative for more information on applications and
functionality that can be activated through License Manager.

 A feature is an application or additional functionality that can be added to a field
panel without the need to replace the hardware. Some features require a firmware
flash.
 A license is the code provided by Siemens Industry to unlock a feature.
 The ID_STRING is a unique identifier that distinguishes an individual piece of
hardware. It 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.

APOGEE Automation Networking
How does License Manager Work?

Field panels can either be ordered with licensed features and functionality pre-loaded,
for example, FLN or TX-I/O island bus support, or upgraded to add special features, for
example, integration drivers, Field Panel GO, and Virtual AEM.
NOTE:
The installation of some features and licenses require that the field panel be
coldstarted, while others do not. For example, Field Panel GO requires the creation of
Web server folders and therefore requires that the field panel be coldstarted.
However, TX-I/O module installation does not.
Any or all of the licensed features can be activated at any time using licenses acquired
from Siemens.
When the field panel is powered, the firmware reviews the inventory of installed
features, comparing that list to the License Vault, where all installed licenses are
stored. Every feature with a corresponding license is initiated and run. Because
licenses are loaded into non-volatile memory, powering down the field panel will not
erase them.

The following levels of networking provide varying levels of system integration in the
APOGEE Automation System.
 Management Level Network (MLN)
 Automation Level Network (ALN)
 Remote Automation Level Network
 Field Level Network (FLN)
These systems also use a number of network protocols that add functionality or
provide support for third-party devices.
Management Level Network

The Management Level Network (MLN) is the communications connection between
individual Insight workstations. It allows multiple Insight users to access the entire
APOGEE Automation System.
 An MLN is a TCP/IP Server-client network, and usually resides on the corporate
LAN.
 APOGEE Automation Systems without an Insight workstation do not have a
Management Level Network.
Automation Level Network

The APOGEE Automation Level Network (ALN) provides field panel-to-field panel and
Insight workstation-to-field panel communication. The ALN types are:
 P2 RS-485 ALN
17
01/26/2011
 Ethernet TCP/IP ALN

 Remote ALN (Auto-dial and AEM)
 BACnet/IP ALN
 BACnet Master-Slave/Token Passing (MS/TP) ALN
Simultaneous ALN Access

More than one operator or field panel can access the network at one time. For
example, as one operator accesses the system, another operator can access the
system at another terminal (or from a remote site using a modem). This ensures that
field panels can send alarm information to the alarm printer even as an operator
accesses other information.
How Information Moves Through the Network

When an operator issues a command over the ALN network through a field panel, that
field panel validates the command, determines where to send it, and then passes the
command to the destination over the network.
Example
In the figure Commanding Over an Automation Level Network, the operator at the
Insight workstation, located in the lower level of the building, issues a command to
control the main air-handling unit (AHU) of the building. This command is sent by the
communication network to the field panel located on the top floor.
Figure. Commanding Over an Automation Level Network.

RS-485 P2 Automation Level Network

The RS-485 ALN is a proprietary token-passing network that communicates over RS-
485 cabling. It is Protocol 3 (P3) at and above 38,400 bps, and Protocol 2 (P2) below
38,400 bps.
 An Insight workstation is optional with this ALN.
 Up to 100 field panels (99 with an Insight workstation) can be connected and can
communicate by means of an RS-485 peer-to-peer network.
 Information can be sent and retrieved across the RS-485 ALN from any connected
field panel.
Media
The RS-485 ALN can communicate over one or more of the following:
 Physical wire (RS-485 cabling)
 Dedicated telephone lines
 Leased-line modems
 Line drivers
 Trunk Isolator Extenders (TIE)
 Fiber Optic Interfaces
The trunk system provides connections within buildings or between buildings for
multiple field panels and operator workstations.
The following figure shows a possible implementation of an RS-485 ALN network.
19
01/26/2011
MLN, RS-485 ALN, and P1 FLN network example.
Ethernet TCP/IP Automation Level Network

The Ethernet Automation Level Network (EALN) uses TCP/IP-based communication
over a customers Ethernet cabling and IP network to reduce overall system and
maintenance costs. Otherwise, system operation is identical to RS-485 ALN
installations.
 An Insight workstation is optional with this ALN.
 When an Insight workstation is used, multiple Insight workstations can be defined
on the MLN.
 A maximum of 1000 Ethernet field panels can be defined for each Insight
workstation on the MLN.
 Each Insight workstation can host up to 64 EALNs.
 The Insight workstation counts as a node on every EALN to which it is connected.
Information can be sent and retrieved across the EALN from any Ethernet capable field
panel. The following figure shows a possible implementation of EALN over a corporate
IP network. In this example, the MBCs contain Power Open Processors with Ethernet
ALN.

Remote Automation Level Network (Single Field Panel

Remote Sites)
One PXC Modular can act as a stand-alone field panel. A stand-alone field panel is
generally used in remote sites where only one field panel is needed to control the
equipment for that site. Communications with the remote site are achieved by using
modems or the Virtual APOGEE Ethernet Microserver (AEM).
The remote site PXC Modular can initiate a telephone call to a device such as a
personal computer running Insight software, a dumb terminal, or a printer. Once the
remote site connects to the device, an alarm or other user-defined event is issued.
When the remote site no longer requires the connection to the device, the remote site
disconnects. The remote site can also receive telephone calls from a device running
Insight software to allow for centralized access of a local network's database.
The Virtual APOGEE Ethernet Microserver (AEM) allows an Automation Level Network
(ALN) to be connected directly to an Ethernet network at all times (versus a modem,
which connects when necessary). The ALN can consist of a single remote field panel
or a maximum of 32 field panels.
For local access, operators can communicate with the remote site by physically
connecting to the field panel via an operator's terminal. When an operator issues a
command, the field panel validates the command and sends it to the appropriate
device.
For more information about remote site field panels, contact your Siemens Industry
representative.
BACnet/IP Automation Level Network

BACnet field panels communicate over a customer's Ethernet cabling and IP network
using the ASHRAE Building Automation and Control Networking (BACnet) protocol.
 One Insight workstation can administer up to 64 Ethernet-based BACnet/IP ALNs.
 Up to 100 BACnet/IP or Ethernet TCP/IP (P2) field panels can reside on a
BACnet/IP network (1000 maximum per Insight workstation).
 Because they use different networking protocols, APOGEE P2 Ethernet TCP/IP
and BACnet/IP field panels cannot communicate directly with each other, even on
the same physical network.
The following figure shows a possible implementation of APOGEE P2 Ethernet ALN
and BACnet/IP ALN over a corporate IP network.
22
01/26/2011
BACnet MS/TP Automation Level Network

BACnet field panels communicate over a customer’s Ethernet cabling and IP network
using the ASHRAE Building Automation and Control Networking (BACnet) MS/TP
protocol.
 One Insight workstation can administer up to 64 Ethernet based MS/TP ALNs.
 Up to 10 BACnet MS/TP ALN field panels can reside on an MS/TP network
segment (1000 maximum per Insight workstation). Network segments must be
physically separated.
 BACnet devices (field panels or Insight workstations) can be set up as one of the
following:
– A standard BACnet MS/TP device
– A BACnet Broadcast Management Device (BBMD)
– A foreign device
23
01/26/2011
Field Level Network

The APOGEE Field Level Network (FLN) is a data communications network that
passes information between an FLN device or devices and an Automation Level
Network (ALN) device, usually within one building. FLNs consist of devices that
communicate using RS-485 P1 or MS/TP.
 P1 devices can include Terminal Equipment Controllers (TEC), Fume Hood
Controllers (FHC) and other vendor equipment, such as ABB Speed Drives, which
contain Protocol 1.
 Selected models of APOGEE field panels can communicate with other vendor
protocols on the FLN, such as McQuay, Lumisys, EST IRC-3, and Allen Bradley.
Contact your Siemens Industry representative for information on devices that can
communicate with other vendor protocols.

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 Modular, 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
27
01/26/2011
Memory
surge, a power loss, or failure of the battery backup, the Flash ROM and EEPROM
contents stay intact.
PXC Modular Flash ROM size cannot be upgraded in the field.
Compressed ROM
The PXC Modular 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 also 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 it seems as though the field panel never coldstarted.
– Database restoration from flash is disabled by default.
– 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.
For procedures on using Auto-Restore and Database Backup to Flash, see the
APOGEE P2 ALN Field Panel User's Manual or APOGEE BACnet ALN Field Panel
User's Manual (125-3019 or 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: :
28
01/26/2011
Communication Connections
 List Drives — list the drives on the field panel where A: is the ram drive, B: is the
USB drive if attached, IFD: is the internal Flash Drive.
 Set_drive — identifies the drive that you desire 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 Modular. When the PXC Modular 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 Modular 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.
The PXC Modular Series operates on the Automation Level Network (ALN) or the Field
Level Network (FLN).
 When connected to the ALN, the PXC Modular uses a logical point firmware
database to communicate directly with PXC Compacts, MBCs, RBCs, MECs,
SCUs, and other nodes on the network.
 When connected to the MS/TP FLN, the PXC Modular operates as a third-party
BACnet device.
The PXC Modular provides the following communication connections:

will immediately log you off the module.
If there are too many failed login attempts, you are locked out of the module. You must
use the HMI to unlock any user accounts. Also, you can only change your password for
the PXM10S or PXM10T modules from the HMI.
Logging In
Automatic Login
The PXM10S or PXM10T automatic login feature must be configured using the host
field panel’s HMI port. Only one user account can be flagged as the automatic login
account.
NOTE:
Default user account login information for PXM10S or PXM10T is on a per ALN
account basis.
If your network contains an assortment of field panels with Firmware Revisions earlier
than 3.2.2, the AutoLogin account is not replicated or passed onto other field panels.

TX-I/O Product Range Overview

TX-I/O™ is a range of I/O modules, with associated power and communication
modules, for use within the APOGEE System. The I/O modules communicate between
the PXC Modular or the PXC-36 and the related devices in the building services plant.
The TX-I/O product range includes the following:
 Eight types of I/O modules, which act as signal converters.
 TX-I/O Power Supply for the TX-I/O modules.
 TX-I/O Bus Connection Module, which bridges communication and power from one
DIN rail to another.
 TX-I/O Island Bus Expansion (IBE) module, which increases the distance between
the primary field panel and expansion field panels on the island bus.
 P1 Bus Interface Module (BIM), which connects TX-I/O modules to the P1 FLN.
The P1 BIM provides power for TX-I/O modules, but it does not contain
applications or perform control; the control database for the TX-I/O points resides
in a field panel.
TX-I/O Module Overview

TX-I/O Modules are modular expansion I/O consisting of an electronics module and a
terminal base; they receive power from a TX-I/O Power Supply, Bus Connection
Module, or P1 BIM.
 The electronics module performs A/D or D/A conversion, signal processing, point
monitoring, and command output.
 The terminal base provides for termination of field wiring and connection of the self-
forming TX-I/O island bus.
All TX-I/O modules provide the following features:
 DIN rail mounting.
 High density point count (compared to physical dimensions).
 Hardware addressed with address keys.
The design of the TX-I/O Modules provides optimum diagnostics and results in a more
efficient installation and maintenance workflow.
 Field wiring may be terminated prior to installation of electronics.
 Connected peripheral devices can be measured without affecting or being affected
by the I/O module.
 Hot-swappable electronic components allow powered electronics to be
disconnected and replaced without removing terminal wiring or disturbing the self-
forming bus.

Address Keys
The P1 Bus Interface Module (BIM) and I/O modules are addressed using a TX-I/O
address key.
62
01/26/2011
TX-I/O Module Keys.
The keys are available in sets of 24, up to a maximum value of 72 (2 sets of 12, 1-24,
25-48, and 49-72).
 The I/O module address is mechanically encoded in the address key.
– Without an address key, the module is inactive.
– With an address key inserted, the module has full functionality.
 Based on the address, the PXC Modular, PXC-36, or P1 BIM configures the I/O
module, indicates which field devices are connected to this module, and which
function is required for the field devices.
When replacing the plug-in I/O module, the address key must first be swiveled
outward. This switches the load off but values remain saved in the PXC Modular, PXC-
36, or P1 BIM. The key remains plugged into the terminal base so that the PXC
Modular, PXC-36, or P1 BIM can communicate the required function to the new I/O
module.
Reset Key
The reset key sets the module back to the factory settings (default function on each of
the I/O points):
 The reset key is inserted in place of the address key and then swiveled out again.
 The module indicates the reset by briefly lighting all its I/O status LEDs.
 Note that a reset is only possible when the module is supplied with 24 Vdc.

Chapter 3—Applications
Operator Interface
Chapter 3 describes the program and applications provided with or available for the
PXC PXC Modular Series. The following topics are discussed in this chapter:
 Operator Interface
– Field Panel GO
 Powers Process Control Language (PPCL) Point Database and Control Program
– Control Programs
– Point Database
 Applications
 Customized Applications
Operator Interface
An operator issues commands or requests to the PXC Modular using an operator
terminal and the operator interface. The operator interface is the software that allows
the operator to communicate interactively with the PXC Modular Series. The operator
interface does the following:
 Interprets and processes commands entered from operator terminals.
 Formats and sends all output directed to the operator.
 Provides levels of operator access that control an operator’s authority to perform
certain functions.
The operator interface is described in detail in the APOGEE P2 ALN Field Panel User's
Manual or APOGEE BACnet ALN Field Panel User's Manual (125-3019 or 125-3020).
This manual is designed to help you become familiar with and use the operator
interface. It describes the functions necessary for everyday operation of your system,
plus the higher-level functions for commanding, displaying, editing, scheduling,
networking, alarm management, and others.
Field Panel GO
The Field Panel GO license provides a Web-based user interface for your APOGEE®
Building Automation System. It is an ideal solution for small or remote facilities with
field panels on an Ethernet TCP/IP Automation Level Network (ALN).
A Field Panel GO Web server-enabled controller can accommodate an unlimited
number of user accounts, with up to two concurrent operator sessions. And each user
account can be defined with customized levels of access and privileges to the system.
Field Panel GO encompasses the following operator applications:
 Alarm Status and acknowledgement
 Graphical Monitoring and Control
 Point Commander
 Schedule Overrides
 Status Reporting
73
01/26/2011
Powers Process Control Language (PPCL) Control Program and Point Database
 Historical Data Reporting

 Setup and Customization
Contact your local Siemens Industry representative for more information on Field Panel
GO.
Powers Process Control Language (PPCL) Control

Program and Point Database
The control programs and point database are stored in RAM. This information can also
be saved or loaded into the PXC Modular using APOGEE Datamate software or Insight
software.
Control Programs
The control programs define all user-defined control logic, calculations, applications,
and so on for the PXC Modular. PPCL is written in an English-based programming
language called Powers Process Control Language (PPCL). It is a powerful
programming language developed specifically for controlling Heating, Ventilating, and
Air Conditioning (HVAC) equipment. Multiple PPCL programs can be run
simultaneously to provide instructions for the PXC Modular to operate equipment,
control system loads, and optimize the system operation.
For a complete description of PPCL and how to use it, see the APOGEE Powers
Process Control Language (PPCL) User's Manual (125-1896). This manual is available
from your local Siemens Industry representative.
Point Database
The PXC Modular Series has the basic capabilities required to control and monitor a
facility. However, the operator (or the installer) must program specific instructions into
the PXC Modular and create databases that are customized for your particular facility.
The databases contain information, such as point names, addresses, schedules, and
alarm information for the equipment being supervised by the PXC Modular.
The PXC Modular uses information from the point database to define each point so
that the firmware and the software know how to evaluate or command the point.
Among the items kept in the point database are the following:
 Location, or address of field inputs/outputs
 Logical point names and descriptions of points
 Point type
 Alarm information
 Current value of a point
 Information to convert analog signals to engineering units (slope and intercept
constants)
The point database is described in detail in the APOGEE P2 ALN Field Panel User's
74
01/26/2011
Applications
Applications
Applications are an important part of the energy management capabilities of your
system. The applications that you can incorporate into the operation of your system
include:
 Adaptive Control
 Alarm Management
 Daylight Saving Time
 Equipment Scheduling
 Loop/Loop Tuning
 Start/Stop Time Optimization (SSTO)
 Time and Calendar (schedules, Daylight Saving Time)
 Trend Data Collection
 User Access and Privileges
Adaptive Control
Adaptive control is a closed loop control algorithm that auto-adjusts to compensate for
mechanical system/load/seasonal changes. It is designed to eliminate the
compromises of traditional Proportional, Integral, Derivative (PID) control. When
compared to traditional PID control, adaptive control provides more efficient, robust,
fast, and stable control. Adaptive control achieves superior performance in a dynamic,
non-linear system in terms of response time and holding steady state, while minimizing
error, oscillations, and actuator repositioning.
Alarm Management
An alarm is a status that indicates whether a point value or state is above or below a
defined value. Alarm management is the strategy used to define, route, acknowledge,
and resolve those alarms.
Points are defined as alarmable for the following reasons:
 To prevent critical problems. Points that affect human safety or can cause a severe
problem in building operation should be defined as alarmable. For example, an
alarm that notifies you that the temperature of a heating coil is too low and action
must be taken before it freezes.
 To notify you when equipment is not functioning properly. Sometimes problems
may occur and go unnoticed. Alarming is a useful tool to identify equipment that is
not working properly and to prevent other devices from becoming damaged.
 To announce scheduled maintenance. For example, an alarm can notify you when
it is time to change air filters.
75
01/26/2011
Applications
Daylight Saving Time

The Daylight Saving Time (DST) functionality adjusts the system time to match the
daylight saving time change-over. If your area uses daylight saving time, this feature
offers a convenient method to automatically adjust the system clock.
Equipment Scheduling
Equipment Scheduling is designed to provide 365-day, time-based control of a space
in a facility. The basic design of this application begins with a definition of the space,
called a zone. The state of the zone dictates how the field panel controls the points
associated to that space. The state of the zone is known as the mode (in this
document it is referred to as the current mode value of the zone).
Loop/Loop Tuning
The loop application is the PPCL Proportional, Integral, Derivative (PID) control loop
algorithm. The loop tuning application evaluates and calculates gains and sample
times for existing LOOP statements in PPCL. This feature calculates appropriate
Proportional, Integral and Derivative (PID) gains and sample time for a selected control
loop, based on specific building and control information defined in the LOOP
statement. When complete, you decide how to apply the newly calculated variables.
Start-Stop Time Optimization (SSTO)

Start/Stop Time Optimization (SSTO) is an optional, self-adjusting routine that affects
the start and stop times of various occupancy modes. SSTO can help conserve energy
by starting a heating or cooling process, prior to occupancy, as late as possible. SSTO
can also stop heating or cooling a zone as early as possible, prior to vacancy.
For example, a meeting in August occurs at 1:00 P.M. and lasts until 4:00 P.M. Based
on the information provided in SSTO parameters, the equipment scheduling application
calculates the latest possible time cooling can start and still reach the cooling setpoint.
Also, calculations are made to determine the earliest time cooling can stop without
affecting comfort limits.
Time and Calendar

Calendar dates (in the form of day shifts and replacement days) are entries used to
supplement the Equipment Scheduling application.
Time functions compensate for Daylight Savings Time (DST) and provide time-based
control for building equipment.
Trend Data Collection

Trending is a function that records point data over time. Trend data is either collected
when the current point value changes by a specified amount (the trend COV limit), or
point values are recorded after the system waits a specific amount of time and then the
process is repeated.
76
01/26/2011
Customized Applications
Trend data can be uploaded from the field panel to the Insight workstation for storage
and reporting, and the data can be converted to several spreadsheet formats for
further analysis and reporting.
User Access and Privileges

A user issues commands or requests to the PXC Modular Series using an operator
terminal and the operator interface program that resides in the PXC Modular Series.
The operations that a particular user can perform depend on the access level assigned
to each field panel function in their user account.
User accounts are used to manage access and security for field panels on a specified
Automation Level Network (ALN). By creating individual accounts, a system
administrator can control each user’s access to objects and functions residing in field
panels on a specified ALN.
Specifically, a system administrator can perform the following tasks:
 Define the users that can access an ALN
 Assign access to access groups
 Assign privileges to field panel functions residing on an ALN
Controlling User Access to Field Panel Functions

The following four access levels can be assigned to any field panel function for any
user.
 No Access – Users cannot see the function.
 Read Only – Users can only view the value or status of objects.
 Command – Users can command or display the value or status of objects.
 Edit – Users can add, delete, command, modify, and view objects.
Example
If a user has a Command access level for the Point Editing function, then only the
functionality required to command a point is available to them. They do not see or have
access to the prompts required to add, modify, or delete a point definition.
For more information on user accounts and privileges, see the APOGEE P2 ALN Field
Panel User's Manual or APOGEE BACnet ALN Field Panel User's Manual (125-3019
or 125-3020).
Some PXC Modular Series applications are created in the Powers Process Control
Language (PPCL). These applications use PPCL statements and additional hardware
to perform customized operations or functions in your system. Examples of
applications created in PPCL include:
 Duty Cycling
 Enthalpy and Dry Bulb Economizer Control
 Peak Demand Limiting (PDL)
77
01/26/2011
Information on how to customize these applications for your facility is included in the
APOGEE Powers Process Control Language (PPCL) User's Manual (125-1896) and
the APOGEE P2 ALN Field Panel User's Manual or APOGEE BACnet ALN Field Panel
User's Manual (125-3019 or 125-3020). These manuals are available from your
Siemens Industry representative.

ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 135-2004. BACnet allows devices from multiple
manufacturers to work together on a network.
BACnet Broadcast Message Device (BBMD): BBMDs pass BACnet Broadcast
Messages to other BBMDs on the network, allowing these messages to reach BACnet
devices on the other side of a subnet router.
BACnet Encoded Name: A numeric representation of an object name that exceeds the
APOGEE standard of 30 alphanumeric characters or less per name.
BACnet/IP: BACnet over IP protocol.
BBMD: See BACnet Broadcast Message Device.

Glossary
broadcast: Destination IP address that represents all interfaces on all hosts. Usually,
this is restricted to all hosts on the local subnet.
C
command priority: Ranking of a point command.
current value: Last commanded or sensed value of a logical point.
D
Device ID: Uniquely identifies a device object on the BACnet Inter network.
Device Instance Number: A number assigned to a BACnet device (for example, a
BACnet field panel) that uniquely identifies it on the BACnet/IP network.
Device port: A USB Device port supports a generic serial interface for an HMI or Tool
connection.
Device Specific Name: A textual representation of a BACnet object name that meets
the APOGEE naming standard of 30 alphanumeric characters or less.
digitized value: Integer value used by the field panel to determine the logical value,
state, and condition of logical points.
Domain Name Server (DNS): Common method of assigning computer names in UNIX-
based networks. A DNS server maintains a list of host names and IP addresses,
allowing computers that query them to find remote computers by specifying host
names rather than IP addresses. DNS is a distributed database; therefore, DNS
servers can be configured to use a sequence of name servers, based on the domain in
the name being looked for.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP): Protocol used for automatic TCP/IP
configuration of nodes across a network. DHCP dynamically assigns addresses to
nodes and allows for central administration of addresses.
dynamic point information: Information stored in the point database that may change
during system operation and is not part of the data entered when defining points.
E
enclosure: Metal case that houses the field panel components.
English units: The foot-pound-second system of units for weights and measurements.
enhanced alarming: Application that allows floating alarms and alarm segregation.
Ethernet ready: Any device that communicates over Ethernet cabling. For example,
both Ethernet ALN and BACnet/IP field panels are Ethernet ready, even though they
use different communication protocols.
F
Field Level Network (FLN): A data communications link that passes information
between an FLN device and an Automation Level Network (ALN) device. Terminal
Equipment Controllers (TEC) are examples of FLN devices.

Glossary
H
HAND-OFF-AUTO (HOA) switches: Manually operated control switches located on the
face of HOA-equipped controllers that enable digital output points to be manually
placed into HAND (ON), OFF, or AUTO control. Analog outputs can be placed into
AUTO or multiple manual control positions.
Host port: A USB Host port provides support for USB modems and line printers.
Human-Machine Interface (HMI) port: Interfaces of various hardware and/or software
units allowing the operator to transfer information to a technical system and/or receive
information from the same.
I
Instance ID: The identifying number for objects (for example, points) within a BACnet
device. Instance IDs can be assigned manually or automatically within the range set for
the host device.
Internet Protocol (IP): A connection-less protocol that allows a packet to travel across
multiple networks on its way to its destination. IP is the network layer of TCP/IP suite.
Intrinsic Alarming: BACnet alarming that incorporates alarm destinations (via
Notification Classes) within a single alarm message.
M
multicast: Destination IP address that represents one or more interfaces. IP datagrams
sent to a multicast address will be sent to all hosts participating in this multicast group.
N
notification class: Notification Class supports enable/disable based on the day of week
and time of day and the alarm priority for all points associated with it.
P
Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS): Acronym for the standard telephone service that
is used in most homes. Communication speed is generally restricted to 52K bps.
point condition: State of a point such as normal, alarm, alarm-by-command, failed,
operator disabled, or proofing.
R
Read Only Memory (ROM): Non-volatile, permanent, but field-programmable memory
that stores the operating system of the field panel. ROM stays intact even in the event
of a power surge, a power loss, or failure of the battery backup.
Remote Automation Level Network (ALN): Automation Level Network (ALN) hosted by
a remote field panel. The ALN is only seen at the remote site and at a centrally located
Insight workstation.
remote field panel: Field panel not directly connected to the Insight ALN. Remote field
panels connect over the telephone lines using a dial-up modem, or over an Ethernet
network using an AEM/AEM100/AEM200.

Glossary
S
service box: Component that receives the line power and converts it to 24 Vac for the
field panel.
T
telnet: Program that runs on top of TCP/IP, it is the Internet standard protocol for
remote login.
text-based terminal: Operator terminal that displays and accepts text only.
To-Fault: A BACnet event indicating that the BACnet object (point) has transitioned to
the Fault state from some other state for the recipient or device. A BACnet object
mayor may not require acknowledgement of this event by a user.
To-Normal: A BACnet event indicating that the BACnet object (point) has transitioned
to the Normal state from some other state for the recipient or device. A BACnet object
mayor may not require acknowledgement of this event by a user.
To-OffNormal: A BACnet event indicating that the BACnet object (point) has
transitioned to the OffNormal state from some other state for the recipient or device.
OffNormal states in BACnet are: OffNormal, high-limit, low-limit, and life-safety-alarm.
A BACnet object may or may not require acknowledgement of this event by a user.
tombstone: Remnant or memento of a deleted record that is retained for a finite
amount of time in a node’s replication database. Tombstones are used to keep track of
locally deleted records that must be deleted from replication partners during future
global data replication sessions.
totalized value: Sum of information (in hours or minutes) about logical points such as
run time, total volume, and degree days.
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP): Protocol suite developed by
the U.S. Department of Defense to link dissimilar computers across different kinds of
networks. TCP/IP is the transport protocol employed by the Internet and is commonly
used on Ethernet networks.
U
unbundle: Describes the action of entering a point that resides in an equipment
controller's database into the field panel's database so that it can be monitored and
controlled from the field panel.
Unicast: Destination IP address that represents a single interface to a single system. IP
datagrams sent to a unicast address are sent to a single interface on a single IP host.
User Datagram Protocol (UDP): TCP/IP protocol that provides simple datagram
services. UDP is a connection-less mode protocol that is layered on top of IP. UDP
does not guarantee delivery and is not used for applications that require
acknowledgements or re-transmission.
V
Virtual AEM: Without additional hardware, the Virtual AEM connects an RS-485
APOGEE Automation Level Network or individual field panels to a P2 Ethernet
network. (Additional license required.)
