FX-PCX37 Expansion Input/Output Module Installation
Instructions
FX-PCX3711-0
Application
The FX-PCX37 controller is a part of the Facility Explorer
FX-PC Series Programmable Controller family. FX-PCX
controllers expand the number of points connected to an
FX-PCA, FX-PCG, or FX-PCV programmable controller
or to a supervisory controller.
FX-PCX controllers operate on an RS-485 BACnet®
Master-Slave/Token-Passing (MS/TP) Bus as BACnet
Application Specific Controllers (B-ASCs) and integrate
into Johnson Controls® and third-party BACnet systems.
Note: At FX-PCT Release 10.1, a new capability was
introduced allowing FX-PCVs, FX-PCGs, and
FX-PCAs to communicate by using either the
BACnet or the N2 field bus networking protocol.
The operation of the FX-PCX Input/Output Module
is not affected by the selection of the BACnet or
the N2 protocol in the host controller.

Part No. 24-10144-114, Rev. F
Refer to the
QuickLIT website
Installation
Observe these guidelines when installing a controller:
Transport the controller in the original container to
minimize vibration and shock damage.
Verify that all parts shipped with the controller.
Do not drop the controller or subject it to physical
shock.
Parts Included
one controller with removable terminal blocks (Power
and SA/FC bus are removable)
one installation instructions sheet
Materials and Special Tools Needed
three fasteners appropriate for the mounting surface
(M4 screws or #8 screws)
one 20 cm (8 in.) or longer piece of 35 mm DIN rail
and appropriate hardware for DIN rail mount (only)
small straight-blade screwdriver for securing wires in
the terminal blocks
Mounting
Observe these guidelines when mounting a controller:
Ensure the mounting surface can support the
controller, DIN rail, and any user-supplied enclosure.
Mount the controller horizontally on 35 mm DIN rail
whenever possible.
Mount the controller in the proper mounting position
(Figure
1).
Mount the controller on a hard, even surface
whenever possible in wall-mount applications.
Use shims or washers to mount the controller securely
and evenly on the mounting surface.
Mount the controller in an area free of corrosive
vapors and observe the Ambient Conditions
requirements in
Table
8.
Provide for sufficient space around the controller for
cable and wire connections for easy cover removal
and good ventilation through the controller (50 mm
[2 in.] minimum on the top, bottom, and front of the
controller).
