PRODUCT FEATURES
BACnet/IP Equipment Controllers Add Flexibility
Next-generation FX equipment controller models use BACnet/IP protocol, with support for star, daisy chain and ring network topologies. Embedded software and updated firmware align with cyber security best practices. Add flexibility to your BAS, streamlining integrations and enhancing interoperability. Act now to optimize system performance.
A Productivity Tools Suite for Absolute Efficiency
FX productivity tools are uniquely designed to reduce estimating, engineering, configuration, installation and commissioning time and cost. Discover all the ways FX is more efficient.
Expedite Configuration with FX Exclusive Auto Tagging
Take configuration time from weeks or days to hours. Leading the productivity tool suite, FX Exclusive Auto Tagging automatically adds data tags during station import, based on CCT standard applications and is built on Haystack and custom tag libraries.
Next Generation Equipment Controllers Maximize Performance
Reduce installation costs while boosting system performance with the next generation VAV Box and General Purpose Application Controllers. They deliver high capacity memory, fast processing, easy programming and fast installation.
The Highly Resilient MRP Ring-Enabled IP Controller Solution
This is your highly resilient, easy-to-implement IP controller solution. FX IP Controllers enable faster data access and troubleshooting, while Cisco Industrial Ethernet 2000 Switches connects all IP controllers with the engine and supervisory controller via a ring-topology network. The only Media Redundancy Protocol (MRP)-enabled BAS solution in the market, this network protocol for ring topologies enables networks to rapidly overcome failures and support more devices per ring.
