Products from the Field Equipment Controller (FEC) Series are programmable controllers that support both the BACnet MS/TP and N2 communications protocols.
They are BACnet Application Specific Controllers (B-ASCs) with integrated MS/TP communications when they are utilised as BACnet MS/TP devices.
Input/Output Module (IOM) models and a comprehensive range of FEC models can be used for a number of building applications, from basic fan coil or heat pump control to sophisticated central plant management.
Wireless communications using the ZFR System accessories are supported by every FEC Series Controller that has been set up for BACnet.
The global Field Equipment Controllers market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
The field equipment controllers of the Metasys system family are a collection of adaptable field controllers created to monitor, manage, and integrate a wide range of HVAC and other building equipment.
Other controllers can be switched to utilise either the MS/TP or N2 communications protocol. Some controllers use the BACnet® Secure Connect (BACnet/SC) or BACnet®/IP communications protocol.
The field controllers in MS/TP mode, as well as the BACnet/SC and BACnet/IP controllers, are all BACnet network-compliant hardware. To maintain or update locations with installed legacy Johnson Controls controllers, employ controllers operating in N2 mode.
The web-based Metasys system incorporates the FEC family of controllers. The VMA18 Controller is a good replacement for outdated VMA14xx Series Controllers due to its embedded capabilities and modular accessories.
Johnson control FAC Series Advanced Field Equipment Controllers have a real-time clock and can perform time-based tasks, so they can monitor and manage schedules, calendars, alarms, and trends, typically for air handling and central plant equipment.
FACs can operate as stand-alone controllers in applications that don’t need a networked supervisory device or for network applications where it is preferable to have the scheduling, alarming, and trending performed locally.
They also have the ability to continue time-based control and monitoring when offline for prolonged periods of time.
