The FX80 Supervisory Controller is a web-based supervisory-class controller in the Facility Explorer® product family. The FX80 controller manages networks of field controllers using open communication protocols, such as BACnet®, LONWORKS®, and N2 protocols. The FX80 controller supports a full set of building automation features, such as scheduling, alarming, historical data collection and management, data sharing, energy management, totalization, customized control routines, tagging, templates, search, and hierarchies, which are specifically designed for commercial facilities. Each FX80 controller includes a graphical system user interface with an HTML5 web profile, a configuration tool that you can access with the web browser, and robust security. Remote access is easily achieved using a wired or wireless connection from the Internet or intranet. Multiple users can concurrently connect to the FX80 controller. You can manage security and presentation preferences through user profiles, login IDs, and passwords. The FX80 Supervisory Controller is a compact DIN rail mountable controller with the capability for remote external input and output points. In addition, the FX80 controller's hardware and software design is modular, so you can plug in accessories, such as communications option modules, if needed. Device and point licensing options allow you to select the device and point capacity most appropriate for the size of your facility and those options best needed to control it. And, in many cases, future expansions do not require the replacement of hardware.
