Technical Specification Sheet Document No.149-478 May 20, 2020 PXC Modular Series Figure 1. PXC Modular. Description The PXC Modular Series (Programmable Controller Modular) is a high-performance modular Direct Digital Control (DDC) supervisory field panel, which is an integral part of the APOGEE® Automation System. The PXC Modular operates stand-alone or networked to perform complex control, monitoring, and energy management functions without relying on a higherlevel processor. Up to 100 modular field panels communicate on a peer-to-peer network. With the addition of TX-I/O modules and a TX-I/O Power Supply on a self-forming bus, the PXC Modular can directly control up to 500 points. See the APOGEE Wiring Guidelines for Field Panels and Equipment Controllers (125-3002) for information on setting up this configuration. With the addition of an Expansion Module, the PXC Modular also provides central monitoring and control for distributed Field Level Network (FLN) devices. Siemens Industry, Inc. Smart Infrastructure Features Modular hardware components match initial control requirements while providing for future expansion. Automation Level Network (ALN) support for peerto-peer communications over industry standard 10/100Base-T TCP/IP networks or RS-485 P2 networks. Optional support for P1 FLN devices. Optional support for P1 Wireless FLN. Optional operation as a P1 device with default applications. HMI RS-232 and USB ports, which provide laptop connectivity for local operation and engineering. DIN rail mounted device with removable terminal blocks simplifies installation and servicing. Proven program sequences to match equipment control applications. Built-in energy management applications and DDC programs for complete facility management. Comprehensive alarm management, historical data trend collection, operator control, and monitoring functions. Sophisticated Adaptive Control, a closed loop control algorithm that auto-adjusts to compensate for load/seasonal changes (License required with Firmware revision 2.8.18 and higher). PXM10T and PXM10S support: Optional LCD Local user interface with HOA (Hand-off-auto) capability and point commanding and monitoring features. 1 149-478 2020-05-20 PXC Modular Series Hardware Hardware PXC Modular The Modular is a microprocessor-based multitasking platform for program execution and communication with other field panels. It scans field data, optimizes control parameters, and manages operator requests for data in seconds. The program and database information stored in the Modular memory is protected with a battery backup. This eliminates the need for timeconsuming program and database re-entry in the event of an extended power failure. When battery replacement is necessary, the Modular illuminates a "battery low" status LED and can send an alarm message to selected printers or terminals. The Modular firmware, including the operating system, is stored in non-volatile flash memory. LEDs provide instant visual indication of overall operation, network communication, and battery status. Two self-forming buses are an integral part of the flexibility of the Modular. A self-forming bus to the right of the controller (see Figure 3) supports up to 500 points through TX-I/OTM modules. Another self-forming bus to the left of the controller (see Figure 5) supports hardware connection to subsystems through Expansion Modules. TX-I/O Modules TX-I/O Modules are modular expansion I/O consisting of an electronics module and terminal base. The electronics modules perform A/D or D/A conversion, signal processing and point monitoring and command output through communication with the Modular. The terminal bases provide for termination of field wiring and connection of a self-forming bus. For more information, see the TX-I/O Product Range Technical Specification Sheet (149-476). TX-I/O Power Supply The TX-I/O Power Supply provides power for TX-I/O modules and peripheral devices. Multiple Power Modules can be used in parallel to meet the power needs of large concentrations of I/O points (see Figure 2 and Figure 3). For more information, see the TX I/O Product Range Technical Specification Sheet (149-476). 2 Siemens Industry, Inc. Smart Infrastructure Figure 2. TX-I/O Power Supply and TX-I/O Modules. Figure 3. PXC Modular, TX-I/O Power Supply, and TX-I/O Modules. PXC Modular Expansion Module The Modular Expansion Module (see Figure 4) provides the hardware connection for Field Level Network (FLN) devices. Using the Triple RS-485 Expansion Module, the Modular supports up to three RS-485 networks of P1 Field Level Network devices. With the Expansion Module the PXC Modular can also provide wireless FLN support. Figure 4. RS-485 Expansion Module. Figure 5. RS-485 Expansion Module and PXC Modular. Modular Control Panels with Application Flexibility The PXC Modular is a high performance controller with extensive flexibility to customize each field panel with the exact hardware and program for the application. As a result, the user only purchases what is needed. 149-478 2020-05-20 For example, in monitoring applications, the control panel can be customized with the number and type of points to match the sensor devices. For monitoring and controlling a large number of (on-off) fans or motors, more digital points can be added (see Figure 6). Figure 6. PXC Modular, TX-I/O Power Supply, and TX-I/O Modules. Alternately, if no local point control is required, the PXC Modular can be used to monitor and control Field Level Network devices using the Expansion Modules (see Figure 7). Figure 7. RS-485 Expansion Module and PXC Modular. Of course, the PXC Modular can be used for both direct point monitoring and control and as a system controller for Field Level Network devices (see Figure 8). Figure 8. RS-485 Expansion Module, PXC Modular, TX-I/O Power Supply, and TX-I/O Modules. In a stand-alone configuration, the PXC Modular can fulfill all requirements of a supervisory network coordinator by managing operation schedules and alarms and communicating for the connected devices. The control program for each field panel is customized to exactly match the application. Proven Powers Process Control Language (PPCL), a "BASIC" type programming language, provides direct digital control and energy management sequences to precisely control equipment and optimize energy usage. PXC Modular Series Global Information Access Global Information Access The HMI port supports operator devices, such as a local user interface or simple CRT terminal, and a phone modem for dial-in service capability. Devices connected to the operator terminal port gain global information access. Multiple Operator Access Multiple operators can access the network simultaneously. Multiple operator access ensures that alarms are reported to an alarm printer while an operator accesses information from a local terminal. When using the Ethernet TCP/IP ALN option, multiple operators may also access the controller through concurrent Telnet sessions and/or local operator terminal ports. Menu Prompted, English Language Operator Interface The PXC Modular field panel includes a simple, yet powerful menu driven English Language Operator Interface that provides, among other things: · Point monitoring and display · Point commanding · Historical trend collection and display for multiple points · Equipment scheduling · Program editing and modification via Powers Process Control Language (PPCL) · Alarm reporting and acknowledgment · Continual display of dynamic information Siemens Industry, Inc.
