Miscellaneous
● A PXC Compact with Firmware Revision 2.8.3 and later supports Wireless FLN
devices on its FLN (if present); however, the PXC Compact on P1 currently cannot
reside on a Wireless FLN.
● A PXC Compact on P1 supports WCIS use through the PXC Compact HMI port.
● Only P1 AO and DO points (and not AI and DI points) can be commanded across
the P1 FLN when working at the PXC Compact on P1.
Referencing Points on the PXC Compact on P1
When working at the
host field panel
(the field panel that has the PXC Compact on P1
on its FLN), points in the PXC Compact on P1 are referenced similar to how TEC
subpoints are referenced. For example, if the PXC Compact on P1 name is
PXC13,
the
YEAR point is referenced as PXC13:YEAR.
When working at the HMI of the PXC Compact on P1, the P1 points are not accessed
directly. The P2 databases, physical points, virtual points, or panel team points that are
mapped to the P1 points are referenced, instead.
● Example of a physical point: AO9
● Example of a panel team point: !Field panel 7:P1 COMM, where
7
is the P2
address of the PXC Compact.
Procedures for Advanced Features
This section contains the advanced features for setting up a PXC Compact on P1.
Adding Unused I/O for PXC Compact on P1 (Optional)
When a PXC Compact on P1 database is loaded, the controller only configures the
point addresses that are defined in the database. Any undefined Input/Output (I/O)
points will not be accessible. Consequently, these I/O points cannot be used as spare
points in the PXC Compact on P1 in the future. In order to make these spare I/O points
available, follow these suggestions:
● For UC to P1PXC Migration, add unused I/O points to the UC database before
starting the migration process.
● For new installations of the PXC Compact on P1, add unused I/O points to the
P1PXC while designing the database in CT.
Tips
● Define the most likely point types that will be used on the site for the spare points.
For example, 1K ohm RTD, 0-10 V, 4-20 mA, LDI, and so on
● If using a PXC-16, be sure to stay within the point count.
● A full UC has 20 Non-DO points and 4 DOs, whereas the PXC-24 has 19 Non-DO
points and 5 DOs. Do the following if one of the Digital Outputs will not be defined:
– After the UC database conversion is complete, add a fifth DO to the Application
database.
– Run the P2/P1 Application Converter tool to add the DO to the P1 point team.
