PCA3613 Advanced Application
Programmable Controller Installation
Instructions
Application
The PCA3613 controller runs pre-engineered and user-programmed applications and provide
the inputs and outputs required to monitor and control a wide variety of HVAC and other facility
equipment.
PCA36 controllers operate on an RS-485 BACnet
®
MS/TP Bus and integrate into Johnson Controls
®
and third-party BACnet systems.
PCA36 controllers include an integral real-time clock, which enables the controllers to monitor and
control schedules, calendars, and trends, and operate for extended periods of time as stand-alone
controllers when offline from the system network.
Communications protocols
By default, the controllers communicate using the standard BACnet MS/TP protocol based on the
ANSI/ASHRAE 135-2012. The BACnet protocol is a standard for ANSI, ASHRAE, and the International
Standards Organization (ISO) for building controls.
