FX40 Supervisory Controller

The FX40 brings a new generation of Web-based

technology into the Facility Explorer product family.

The FX40 manages a network of field controllers

using standard communication protocols. It also

supports a full set of building automation features

and functions specifically designed for commercial

facilities, including event scheduling, alarm

management, histories, and totalization.

The FX40 can support up to 100 field controllers

using any combination of N2, LONWORKS®, and

BACnet® Internet Protocol (IP) protocols. The FX40

also provides onboard, hardwired input and output

points for direct monitoring of equipment status or

analog sensors and control of auxiliary devices or

alarms.

The FX40 provides a user interface and

configuration tool that users can access with a Web

browser. Multiple users can concurrently connect to

the FX40. Security and presentation preferences are

managed through user profiles, logon IDs, and

passwords. Remote access is easily achieved from

an Internet, intranet, or a dial-up connection.

Overview

The FX40 provides integrated control supervision

and network management services for one or more

local networks of field controllers used to monitor

and control Heating, Ventilating, and Air

Conditioning (HVAC), lighting, and other electrical

systems. The FX40 provides system-wide

coordination of field controller activities to improve

occupant comfort, reduce energy usage, and

optimize operating efficiencies. The FX40 organizes

system information into user displays, reports, and

graphics that users can access from a Web browser.

Onboard Inputs and Outputs (I/Os)

The FX40 features 10 onboard inputs and outputs

for direct control over auxiliary devices, such as

temperature and humidity sensors, pressure

transducers, alarm indicators, and energy meters.

The FX40 I/O complement includes:

• four form C Single-Pole, Double-Throw (SPDT)

relay outputs rated for 24 VAC/DC @ 2 Ampere

resistive each with Light-Emitting Diode (LED)

indication

• six universal inputs for 10k ohm type III

thermistors, 4-20 mA and 0-10 VDC active

inputs, or dry contact binary inputs

Supported Field Controllers

The FX40 can interface with many different types of

field controllers and monitoring devices. Three

field-level network communication protocols are

currently supported: N2, LONWORKS, and

BACnet IP Ethernet.

N2 Communication

The FX40 includes one RS-485 communication port

and an N2 protocol driver that allows integration of a

wide variety of N2 field controllers. Supported

N2 field controllers include:

• Facility Explorer Field Controllers fitted with an

N2 Open Communication Card (for example,

FX05, FX15, FX16, or MD20)

• Metasys® Application Specific Controller (ASC)

devices (Air Handling Unit [AHU], Unitary [UNT],

Variable Air Volume [VAV])

• Metasys System 91 Devices (DX-9100)

• Metasys Variable Air Volume Modular Assembly

(VMA1400)

• third-party devices supporting N2 Open protocol

(VND)

LONWORKS Communication

The FX40 includes one LONWORKS FTT-10A port

and a LonTalk® device protocol driver that allows

integration of LONMARK® devices, including:

• Facility Explorer field controllers fitted with a

LONWORKS Communication Card (for example,

FX05, FX15, or FX16)

• third-party LONMARK devices (compliant or

certified)

2FX40 Supervisory Controller Product Bulletin

BACnet IP Ethernet

The FX40 includes one 10/100 Mb Ethernet

communication port and a BACnet IP driver that

allows integration of BACnet devices. The FX40 can

integrate field controllers that support standard

BACnet objects and services.

To determine if a third-party BACnet device is

supported, compare its Protocol Implementation

Conformance Statement (PICS) with the FX40 PICS.

This includes the supported BACnet Interoperability

Building Blocks (BIBB) and details the level of

BACnet conformance. Figure 2 displays an example

of an FX40 configuration.

FX40 Supervisory Controller Product Bulletin 3

FX Workbench

Users can configure the FX40 controller with the FX

Workbench tool. FX Workbench can operate as a

software application on a computer, or the FX40 can

serve up the application for users to access via a

Web browser.

In addition, users can configure the FX40 online

while directly or remotely connected with FX

Workbench. The PC version of FX Workbench

allows users to create an FX40 configuration offline

and then download it at a later time. FX Workbench

also:

• provides the automatic discovery of LONWORKS

and BACnet devices and points

• provides assisted importing of N2 device points

• provides a check box method of enabling and

disabling point extensions, such as scheduling,

histories, and totalization

• automatically links the field device’s occupancy

point to the scheduler

• automatically creates graphics and binds the

graphics to point information

System User Interface

The FX40 User Interface (UI) provides the user with

system-wide monitoring and controlling capability.

The UI is embedded and provided by the FX40. This

allows users to access the system from anywhere on

the supervisory network via a Web browser.

System administrators can format the UI according

to specific user preferences. The presentation of the

information can be as rich or as limited as needed to

support a variety of user interface hardware

(computer, Personal Digital Assistant [PDA], or cell

phone). For a richer user interface experience, the

FX40 incorporates a full library of HVAC equipment

and control symbols, ductwork and piping symbols,

and animated graphics.

Building Automation Features

Event Scheduling

In Event Scheduling (Figure 4), users determine

certain scheduling activities like building occupancy

and the start and stop times of HVAC equipment

based on regular, repeating, or unique events. The

user interface provides a visual method to configure

the schedule time and date.

Figure 4: Event Scheduling

4FX40 Supervisory Controller Product Bulletin

Histories

The Histories feature (Figure 5) allows the FX40 to

collect, store, and display pertinent system data for

analysis. This includes control performance

indication, energy consumption, and system

troubleshooting. Users can configure the FX40 to

create a history on any data point in the FX40

system database. The Histories feature presents the

stored data either graphically or in a sortable table.

Users can export stored data in a TXT, PDF, or CSV

format.

Figure 5: Histories

Alarming

The Alarm feature (Figure 6) allows the FX40 to

route and manage alarms and events according to

user-defined criteria. Users can configure the FX40

to generate alarms on any data point in the FX40

system database. Each alarm record contains

valuable information, including the alarm and

return-to-normal time and date, time duration in

current state, text description, and alarm class.

The alarm class allows the routing of alarms with

similar characteristics to common recipients. Users

can create multiple alarm classes to have a variety

of alarm routing options. Users can configure alarm

recipients to receive alarms via a Web browser or

e-mail. Alarm recipients have a variety of options to

manage alarms, including sorting, acknowledging,

silencing, and tagging.

Figure 6: Alarms

Totalization

The Totalization feature allows the FX40 to

accumulate data on a point over a period of time.

Users can add a totalization extension to any data

point in the FX40 system database to summarize

runtime, to accumulate change of state counts, or to

summarize dynamic analog data.

Software Upgrades

Each FX40 includes a 1-year software maintenance

agreement. This agreement allows you to upgrade

the FX40 software with any new or interim service

release for 1 year from the date of purchase. Once

the software maintenance agreement expires, you

can order additional upgrades. See Table 1 for

details.
