Automation stations modular series PX

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides detailed information on the Desigo™ PX modular automation stations, specifically models PXC....D, PXC...-E.D, and PXA40-…, which are designed for HVAC and building services. These stations are freely programmable and support BACnet/IP and BACnet/LonTalk communications, with BTL certification ensuring compliance with BACnet standards.
Specifications: The automation stations are modular and support various management functions such as alarm management, scheduling, trend analysis, and remote management. They are compatible with TX-I/O modules and can integrate third-party devices through TX Open modules. The stations are suitable for both stand-alone and networked applications.
Communication and Integration: The stations support BACnet communications over LonTalk, PTP, or IP, and comply with BACnet standard Rev. 1.12. They can integrate LONMARK®-compatible devices and support AMEV profiles AS-A and AS-B. An integrated web server facilitates generic operation.
Extension Capabilities: Various modules and devices can be connected to the automation stations, including TX-I/O modules for signaling and control, TX Open modules for third-party integration, and PXX-L11/12 modules for LonWorks devices. The PXX-PBUS module allows for the connection of legacy PTM-I/O modules.
Technical Data: The stations operate on AC 24 V and feature a Motorola Power PC processor with 64MB SDRAM and 32MB FLASH storage. They include multiple communication interfaces, such as Ethernet and LONWORKS, and support various environmental conditions as per IEC standards.
Mechanical Design: The compact design allows for mounting on standard rails, with features like LED indicators for status monitoring, battery backup for data retention, and a reset pin for system restart.
Standards and Compliance: The stations comply with several standards, including EN 60730-1 for automatic electrical controls and EN 50491-x for building automation systems. They are also certified for electromagnetic compatibility and have UL and FCC certifications.
Connection Specifications: The document outlines the pin configurations for various RJ45 sockets and plugs used in Siemens automation stations, including connections for LONWORKS Data, Ethernet, and serial communications. Specific pins are designated for transmitting (Tx) and receiving (Rx) data, with some pins marked as unused. Reference is made to the Planning and Installation Guide TX-I/O, CM110562 for detailed connection diagrams.
Device Dimensions: Dimensions for the automation stations and related components are provided, with all measurements in millimeters.
Disposal Instructions: Devices must be disposed of according to European Directive standards and not as domestic waste. Specific instructions are provided for the disposal of lithium batteries, emphasizing safety precautions to prevent fire or explosion.
Publication Information: Published by Siemens Switzerland Ltd., Building Technologies Division, with contact information provided. The document notes that delivery and technical specifications are subject to change.

Battery change 1) If one of the batteries has low charge the "BAT" LED lights up ant the automation station sends a system event. Remaining battery life after a "Low batt" event: • Battery for real time clock (Type CR2032): several days. • Battery for trend data and present parameters (Type AA Lithium): approx. 15 hrs. Alkaline: several days. • As long as there is an external power supply, the battery may be removed for unlimited time. • To prevent hardware damage by electrostatic discharge (ESD), a wrist strap with earth cable must be used during the battery change. • Note the special disposal...
