Application
The FAC2611 Advanced Application Field Equipment
Controller (FAC) is part of the
Metasys
®
system Field
Equipment Controller family. The FAC26 Series
controllers run pre-engineered and user-programmed
applications and provide the inputs and outputs required
to monitor and control a wide variety of HVAC equipment.
FAC26 field controllers operate on an RS-485 BACnet
®
MS/TP Bus as BACnet Advanced Application Controllers
(B-AACs) and integrate into Johnson Controls
®
and
third-party BACnet systems.
FAC26 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.
Important:
The MS-FAC2611-0U model is used in
Metasys Release 8.1 smoke control
applications and is UL 864 UUKL/UUKLC
10th Edition Smoke Control Listed. You
must refer to the
Metasys

devices. The UL 864 UUKL/UUKLC listing
for Smoke Control Equipment is voided if
(1) you do not use the required software
tools at the required versions; or (2) you do
not meet the requirements or do not follow
the procedures as documented in the

Switchable Communications
Protocols
The Family Controllers and network sensors communicate
using the standard BACnet protocol, based on the
ANSI/ASHRAE 135-2004. The BACnet protocol is a
standard for ANSI, ASHRAE, and the International
Standards Organization (ISO) for building controls.
Most FEC, VMA16, VMA18,IOM field controllers are
BTL-listed as BACnet Application Specific Controllers
(B-ASCs). FAC field controllers and the VMA1930 Field
Controller are BTL-listed as BACnet Advanced Application
Controllers (B-AACs).
You can use Release 10.3 and Release Module (RM)
10.2 of the Controller Configuration Tool (CCT) to switch
the Field Bus communications protocol in supported FEC,
FAC and VMA controllers to be either the standard
BACnet MSTP or the N2 protocol. All new controllers use
BACnet MSTP as the default communications protocol.
Switchable communications protocols in the MSTP
models provide a cost-effective upgrade and
modernization path for customers with existing N2
controllers.
The N2-capable FEC Family Controllers can be used as
functional replacements for legacy N2 controllers. The
N2-capable FEC Family Controllers:
•
have the input and output (I/O) quantities and
characteristics of the FEC Family Controllers
•
must be programmed with CCT, which has similar,
but not identical programming capabilities as
HVACPro, GX9100, GPL, and other legacy tools
•
support SA Bus devices
•
are available in Buy American versions (most models)
•
are listed for UL864 UUKL/UUKLC (some models).
N2 is supported as part of the
Metasys
®
10th Edition
listing for Smoke Control System Equipment.
