Universal Programmable Controller TCX2
The TCX2 is a programmable universal controller with communication capabilities. Each control loop may use 2 PI
sequences and 6 binary stages. The TCX2 uses the universal X2 operating system. Serial communication options are
realized with Modbus RTU/ASCII and BACnet MS/TP. There is also a Wi-Fi and an Ethernet communication option available
which supports Modbus TCP and BACnet IP. An embedded webserver provides a web interface to operate the controller or
change the connection settings. Complete parameter sets may be copied by use of an accessory called AEC-PM1 or
exchanged with a PC using an RS485-USB converter, Wi-Fi or Ethernet communication and the EasySet program.
Functions
•4 universally configurable control loops:
oFunctions for dehumidifying, set point shift and cascade control
oMultiple auxiliary functions: heat-cool auto changeover, automatic enable, set point compensation
oFree heating and cooling with economizer function based on enthalpy or temperature
oDifferential, averaging, min and max functions, enthalpy and dew point calculations
oTransmitter function for inputs and set points
•8 selectable universal inputs (VDC, mA, NTC)
•3 universal analog outputs (VDC, mA) and 6 relays with each a normally open contact (SPST)
•8 freely assigned alarm conditions, selectable state of outputs on alarm condition
•Power cap protected real-time clock with 48hr power backup
•7-day programmable schedules, with options including change of set points and direct position of manual outputs
•Password protected programmable user and control parameters
•Peer to peer communication to optional X2 operation terminal OPxx-VC
•Communication over Modbus, BACnet, Ethernet or Wi-Fi (optional interface required)
•Webserver that supports TCX2 operation trough mobile devices or EasySet IP access (Ethernet or Wi-Fi interface
required)

Safety
DANGER! Safety advice
This device is for use as an operating controller. It is not a safety device. Where a device failure could endanger
human life and property, it is the responsibility of the client, installer and system designer to add additional
safety devices to prevent such a device failure. Ignoring specifications and local regulations may cause equipment
damage and endangers life and property. Tampering with the device and misapplication will void warranty.

Mounting and Installation
Mounting location
•In a cabinet on a flat surface
•In a cabinet on a top-hat rail
•In a panel (cabinet door) with the optional panel mounting kit
•The following mounting locations should be avoided:
oFor the types with wireless transmission (-WEM or -WEB), avoid locations that interfere with the radio
signals, e.g. metal boxes or devices that generate electrical interferences.
Mounting instructions
See the TXC2-40863 installation sheet, document no. 70-00-0599 or 70-00-0884 (www.vectorcontrols.com).
Selection of sensors and actuators
Temperature sensors
Use Vector Controls NTC sensors to achieve maximum accuracy: SDB-Tn10-20 (duct), SRA-Tn10 (room), SDB-Tn10-20 +
AMI-S10 as immersion sensor.
Actuators
Choose modulating actuators with an input signal type of 0/2-10 VDC or 4-20 mA (min. and max. signal limitations may
be set with parameters).
3-point actuators with constant running time are recommended.
Binary auxiliary devices (e.g. pumps, fans, on/off valves, humidifiers, etc.)
Do not directly connect devices that exceed specified limits in technical specifications –observe start up current on
inductive loads.
