Controller Installation Instructions
Part No. 24-10143-403, Rev. EFX-PCA2611-0
Issued April 2016
Refer to the QuickLIT website for the most up-to-date version of this document.
Application
The FX-PCA2611-0 Advanced Application Programmable
Controller is part of the Facility Explorer Programmable
Controller (FX-PC) family. The FX-PCA26 Series
controllers run pre-engineered and user-programmed
applications and provide the inputs and outputs required
to monitor and control a wide variety of HVAC equipment.
FX-PCA26 controllers operate on an RS-485 BACnet®
Master-Slave/Token-Passing (MS/TP) Bus as BACnet
Advanced Application Controllers (B-AACs) and integrate
into Johnson Controls®and third-party BACnet systems.
FX-PCA26 controllers include an integral real-time clock,
which enables the controllers to monitor and control
schedules, calendars, and trends, and operate for
extended periods of time as stand-alone controllers when
offline from the system network.
Switchable Communications
Protocols
By default, the FX-PC family controllers and network
sensors communicate using the standard BACnet®
protocol, based on the ANSI/ASHRAE 135-2004.
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 controllers are BTL-
tested and listed as BACnet Application Specific
Controllers (B-ASCs). FX-PCA field controllers 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 FX-PCT and later can be used to switch
the Field Bus communications protocol in FX-PC
Controllers to be either the standard BACnet
Master-Slave/Token-Passing (MS/TP) or the N2 protocol.
BACnet MS/TP is the default communications protocol
for all new controllers. Switchable communications
protocols 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 FX-PCT, 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 pass through in the commissioning
mode
•do not support remote downloading or commissioning
using BACnet routing
• do not support wireless connection to the N2 bus

FX-PCA Terminal Blocks and Bus
Ports
See Figure 3 for terminal block and bus port locations on
the FX-PCA2611-0 controller. Observe the following
guidelines when wiring an FX-PCA2611 controller.
Input and Output Terminal Blocks
On most FX-PC controller models, 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 3 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 in Figure 4. See Comm Bus and Power Supply
Terminal Block Rating and Requirements Table for more
information.
Figure 4: FC Bus Terminal Block Wiring
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 Comm Bus and Power Supply
Terminal Block Rating and Requirements Table for more
information.
5FX-PCA2611-0 Advanced Application Programmable Controller Installation Instructions

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,
ZigBee®wireless dongle, or FX-ZFR1811 Wireless Field
Bus Router.
The FC bus port is connected internally to the FC bus
terminal block. See Comm Bus and Power Supply
Terminal Block Rating and Requirements Table for more
information. The FC bus port pin assignment is shown in
Figure 6.
Note: When the FX-PCA 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
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
FX-PCA is configured for N2 network communication,
you must download and commission the controller using
the SA Bus port.
An FX-DIS1710 Local Controller Display also can be
connected to the SA Bus port.
The Sensor port is connected internally to the SA bus
terminal block. See Comm Bus and Power Supply
Terminal Block Rating and Requirements Table 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 Comm Bus and
Power Supply Terminal Block Rating and Requirements
Table for more information about the Supply Terminal
Block.
6FX-PCA2611-0 Advanced Application 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 controller does
not require an earth ground connection.
Wireless Network Applications
When configured for BACnet MS/TP communication, the
FX-PCA2611 controller can also be installed in a wireless
application using an FX-ZFR1811 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
an FX-PCX to an SA bus only.)
2. Connect the FX-ZFR1811 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
Figure 9.
4. Set DIP switch 128 to ON, which enables wireless
operation on the controller.
For more information on installing a controller in a
wireless configuration, refer to the FX-ZFR1811
Wireless Field Bus Router Installation Instructions
(Part No. 24-10325-29).

Input and Output Wiring Guidelines
Table 3 provides information and guidelines about the
functions, ratings, and requirements for the controller
input and output terminals; and references guidelines for
determining proper wire sizes and cable lengths.
In addition to the wiring guidelines in Table 3, observe
these guidelines when wiring controller inputs and
outputs:
• Run all low-voltage wiring and cables separate from
high-voltage wiring.
• All input and output cables, regardless of wire size or
number of wires, should consist of stranded, insulated,
and twisted copper wires.
• Shielded cable is not required for input or output
cables.
• Shielded cable is recommended for input and output
cables that are exposed to high electromagnetic or
radio frequency noise.
• Inputs/outputs with cables less than 30 m (100 ft)
typically do not require an offset in the software setup.
Cable runs over 30 m (100 ft) may require an offset
in the input/output software setup.

bus.
In addition to the guidelines in Comm Bus and Power
Supply Terminal Block Rating and Requirements Table,
observe these guidelines when wiring an SA or FC bus
and the 24 VAC supply power:
• Run all low-voltage wiring and cables separate from
high-voltage wiring.
• All SA and FC bus cables, regardless of wire size,
should be twisted, insulated, stranded copper wire.
• Shielded cable is strongly recommended for all SA
and FC bus cables.
•Refer to the FX-PC Series Controllers MS/TP
Communications Bus Technical Bulletin
(LIT-12011670) or MS/TP Communications Bus for
BCM System Technical Bulletin (LIT-12011908) for
detailed information regarding wire size and cable
length requirements for the SA and FC buses.

Setup and Adjustments
Setting the Device Addresses
FX-PC Series controllers are master devices on MS/TP
(SA or FC) buses. Before operating FX-PCA2611
controllers on a bus, you must set a valid and unique
device address for each controller on the bus. You set
an FX-PCA2611 controller's device address by setting
the positions of the switches on the DIP switch block at
the top of the controller (Figure 3). Device addresses 4
through 127 are the valid addresses for these controllers.
The DIP switch block has eight switches numbered 128,
64, 32, 16, 8, 4, 2, and 1 (Figure 9). Switches 64 through
1 are device address switches. Switch 128 is a mode
switch that enables a controller to operate on an FX-ZFR
Series Wireless Field Bus. Switch 128 must be set to Off
for all hard-wired SA and FC bus applications. Set switch
128 to ON for wireless FC bus applications only.
Figure 9: Device Address DIP Switch Block Set to
Address 21
Note: FX-PC Series controllers ship with switch 128 ON
and the remaining address switches off rendering
the controllers wired slave devices, which do not
operate on MS/TP buses, but do not interfere with
bus operation. Set a valid and unique device
address on the controller before applying power
to the controller on the bus.
To set the device addresses on FX-PC controllers:
1. Set all of the switches on the address DIP switch
block (128 through 1) to Off.
2. Set one or more of the seven address switches (64
though 1) to ON, so that the sum of the switch
numbers set to ON equals the intended device
address. See Table 6 for valid device addresses.
Set the highest number switch that is less than or
equal to the intended device address to ON. Then
continue setting lower numbered switches until the
total equals the intended address. For example, if the
intended device address is 21, set switch 16 to ON
first, then set switch 4 ON, followed by switch 1
(16+4+1= 21). See Figure 9.
3. Set switch 128 to ON only for controllers on a FX-ZFR
Wireless Field Bus application. For all hard-wired SA
and FC bus applications, ensure that switch 128 is
set to Off.
Note: Do not connect a controller with switch 128
set to ON to an active (hard-wired) SA or FC
bus. When a controller with switch 128 set to
ON and a device address from 4 to 127 is
connected to a wired field bus, the entire field
bus is rendered inoperable until the controller
is disconnected or switch 128 is set to Off.
Refer to the FX-ZFR Wireless Field Bus System
Technical Bulletin (LIT-12011660) for more
information on device addresses in wireless
applications.
4. Set a unique and sequential device address for each
of the controllers connected on the SA or FC bus
starting with device address 4.
To ensure the best bus performance, set sequential
device addresses with no gaps in the device address
range (4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and so on). The controllers do
