Applications
The FX-BTCVT Bluetooth® Commissioning Converter
is a communications converter that provides a
temporary connection between the laptop running the
Facility Explorer Programmable Controller
Programming and Commissioning Tool (FX-PCT)
software and an FX-PC Controller.
The Bluetooth Commissioning Converter provides
communication from the FX-PCs Field Controller Bus
(FC Bus) or the Sensor Actuator Bus (SA Bus) to a
Bluetooth enabled laptop computer. The Bluetooth
Commissioning Converter converts
BACnet® Master-Slave/Token-Passing (MS/TP)
protocol communication to 2.4 GHz Bluetooth wireless
communication and from Bluetooth wireless
communication back to MS/TP communication.
A strap, provided with the Bluetooth Commissioning
Converter, allows you to hang the Bluetooth
Commissioning Converter from the NS Series Network
Sensor or next to the FX-PC controller. The wireless
connection allows you to be up to 10 m (33 ft) away
while you commission the controller with a laptop
computer and the FX-PCT software. The Bluetooth
Commissioning Converter is compatible with the
following Facility Explorer Programmable Controllers
(FX-PCs):
•
General Purpose Programmable Controllers
(FX-PCGs)
•
Programmable Variable Air Volume (VAV) Box
Controllers (FX-PCVs)
•
Expansion Input/Output Modules (FX-PCXs)
•
NS Series Network Sensors
The Bluetooth Commissioning Converter uses
Bluetooth wireless technology but has not been
licensed by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG);
therefore, only use the Bluetooth Commissioning
Converter with the recommended wireless devices as
indicated in the
Installing and Setting up Bluetooth
Wireless Technology on Your Laptop Computer
section
of this document.
The Bluetooth Commissioning Converter can be used
in conjunction with the FX-ZFR Series Wireless Field
Bus System; however, the wireless technologies of the
Bluetooth Commissioning Converter and the FX-ZFR
Series System do not directly interact.
When the Bluetooth Commissioning Converter is
connected on the hard-wired portion of an FC Bus, it
can be used to commission and communicate with any
FX-PC controller, whether it is hard-wired to the FC
Bus or wirelessly enabled through the FX-ZFR Series
Wireless Field Bus System.
When the Bluetooth Commissioning Converter is
connected directly to a wirelessly enabled FX-PC, it
commissions and communicates with only that
controller.
