Johnson Controls FX-PCG26 User manual

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

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.

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
FX-PCG26 General Purpose Programmable Controller Installation Instructions10

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 FX-PCG.

Input and Output wiring guidelines
The next sections provide information and guidelines about the functions, ratings, and
requirements for the controller input and output terminals; it also references guidelines for
determining proper wire sizes and cable lengths.
In addition to the wiring guidelines, 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.
