TC Compact Series for BACnet Networks  Figure 1. ? TC Compact Series Controllers (TC-24 and TC-36 shown). Description The TC Compact Series (Programmable Controller–Compact) for BACnet networks is a high-performance Direct Digital Control (DDC) supervisory equipment controller, which is an integral part of the TALON Automation System. The controllers are classified as either a BACnet Building Controller (B-BC) with support for BACnet/IP or BACnet MS/TP protocols, or as a BACnet Advanced Application Controller (B-AAC) with support for BACnet MS/TP protocol. The TC Compact Series offers integrated I/O based on state-of-the-art TX-I/O? Technology, which provides superior flexibility of point and signal types, and makes it an optimal solution for Air Handling Unit (AHU) control. The TC Compact operates stand-alone or networked to perform complex control, monitoring, and energy management functions without relying on a higher-level processor. The TC Compact Series communicates with other field panels or workstations on a peer-to-peer Automation Level Network (ALN), or on the Field Level Network (FLN), and supports the following communication options: ? Native BACnet/IP communications over 10/100 MB Ethernet networks ? Native BACnet MS/TP on RS-485 The TC Compact is available with 16, 24, or 36 point terminations. Selected models in the Compact Series provide the following options: ? Support for FLN devices. ? An extended temperature range for the control of rooftop devices. ? Support for Island Bus, which uses TX-I/O modules to expand the number of point terminations. Features ? BACnet Testing Laboratories (BTL) certified Classified as BACnet Building Controllers (B-BC) using the BACnet/IP protocol and/or BACnet MS/TP, or BACnet Advanced Application Controllers (B-AAC) using the BACnet MS/TP protocol for specific models. ? DIN rail mounted device with removable terminal blocks simplifies installation and servicing. ? Proven program sequences to match equipment co
