Features:
- Sixteen integrated points combine fixed and configurable field channels.
- BACnet/IP connects controller objects with supervisory and peer devices.
- Battery-backed memory and a real-time clock retain operating data and time functions.
Universal channels take their electrical role from the controller configuration.
The Ethernet port carries the building automation network while RS-232 serves the local interface path.
A 24 V AC source powers the processor and onboard I/O together.
The Siemens PXC16.2-E.A APOGEE BACnet/IP Controller may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Important Notice: Other accessories, manuals, cables, calibration data, software, etc. are not included with this equipment unless listed in the above stock item description. All prices are shown in USD.
Assigning fixed and universal channels to field devices
- Universal inputs: Three channels read the supported configured sensor signals.
- Universal I/O: Five software-configurable points take the input or output role selected in the database.
- Fixed digital points: Two digital inputs and three digital outputs handle documented contact circuits.
- Analog commands: Three analog outputs send 0 to 10 V control signals to field equipment.
Linking local control objects to the building automation Ethernet
- Ethernet path: The 10/100 interface carries BACnet/IP communication.
- Object exchange: Supervisory and peer devices read and write configured BACnet objects.
- Addressing: The controller network identity must be unique within the installed BACnet/IP system.
- Local interface: RS-232 remains a separate HMI service path and does not replace the Ethernet network.
Keeping programs, database values and time functions available
- Processor: The 100 MHz processor executes the programmed control strategy.
- Program storage: Controller applications and point definitions occupy the documented memory resources.
- Retained data: Battery-backed memory protects the designated database contents during a power interruption.
- Clock function: The real-time clock preserves scheduled control timing within its supported backup period.
Supplying the controller and separating field signal types
- Input supply: A 24 V AC source within the specified tolerance powers the controller.
- Power sizing: The transformer circuit must accommodate the documented 18 VA requirement.
- Point wiring: Dry contacts, universal signals and 0 to 10 V outputs use their assigned terminals.
- Dry location: The enclosure and wiring arrangement must keep the controller in its specified indoor environment.
