1 About this manual
1.1 Target readers
This user guide is intended for those responsible for the HVAC plant
in a building, and for other qualified staff, including service
engineers. It is assumed that the users of the manual will have all
the knowledge and skills needed to carry out the required tasks.
1.2 Contents
The manual starts with a description of the display and control panel
of the PXM20 (BACnet/LonTalk) and PXM20-E (BACnet/Ethernet/IP)
operator unit and presents the procedures for navigation and for
editing values, which are always the same. The second part of the
manual leads you step by step through the various activities involved
in commissioning and maintaining the plant.
As there may be significant differences between one plant and
another, and between the read and write access of one user and
another, it follows that it is not possible to provide a description
which is generally applicable to every individual case.
"Favorite" objects, for example, are special objects containing
important values, which can be accessed with a short-cut operation.
The question of exactly which objects and which values these are, is
determined in the engineering phase according to the individual
needs of the plant operator.
Important For this reason, the descriptions in this manual are intended as
examples, designed to clarify the basic operating principles of the
PXM20 operator unit.

your system administrator or network administrator.
Figure 3-3 Settings Figure 3-4 IP settings
Set your network parameters here.
DHCP If the dynamic IP configuration in your network is set up via DHCP

(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), then the settings for the IP
address, subnet mask and default gateway are provided by the
DHCP server. These settings cannot be modified.
Note If the IP address, subnet mask and default gateway settings are
entered manually, they are not checked for consistency.
UDP port BACnet communicates via UDP (User Datagram Protocol) and IP
(Internet Protocol). The default UDP port for BACnet is BAC0. A port
other than the default UDP port can be set by means of the edit
string.
Figure 3-5 Setting the UDP port
Foreign device The BBMD (BACnet Broadcast Management Device) function is

required for BACnet communications between the different IP
segments (separated by IP routers). The PXM20-E from another IP
21/72

segment can register itself with BBMD as a foreign device. This
function can be enabled here. The same dialog box is also used to
enter the IP address of the device with BBMD functionality.
Figure 3-6 Foreign device enabled
3.2.3 View restriction
PXM20/PXM20-E units are delivered with the default setting View

restriction = Off (Figure 3-7). This means that all sites and devices
are visible. Use this menu to configure the site and devices that you
need to see.

3.2.15 Third-party site
Use this option to specify whether or not third-party devices are to be

operated with the PXM20.
In third-party devices, the following BACnet objects can be
displayed:
• Analog Input/Output/Value objects
• Binary Input/Output/Value objects
• Multistate input/Output/Value objects
• Calendar object
• Device object
Notes Only a subset of the standard properties, as in the BACnet

standard, is displayed.
In the context of PXM20 and PXM20-E, the term "third-party" or

"devices from third-party manufacturers" is used to refer to "non-PX
devices".

3.2.16 Domain ID (PXM20 only)
Set the Domain ID for the PXM20 here.
Figure 3-10 Domain ID
Important This setting should be modified only by fully trained staff.
3.2.17 Network scope
Use this option to specify whether the BACnet communication is to

be local or global, i.e. whether PXM20 should be able to
communicate only with BACnet devices connected to the same
network, or also with BACnet devices connected to another BACnet
network.
BACnet networks are divided by BACnet routers. Communication
within a BACnet network is local, while communication across all
BACnet networks (connected by BACnet routers) is global.
The setting Local/Global is has only effect with the PXM20 and with
Siemens BACnet routers PXG… . With PXM20-E and with standard
routers this setting has no effect, the communication is always
global.
As the PXM20(-E) registers itself as a temporary alarm recipient, the
number of devices in a BACnet internetwork is limited. See
CM110664en18, sections 18.3 and 18.4. This limit also applies when
the BACnet internetwork has several UDP/IP segments, which are
connected via IP/Ethernet routers. As soon as the number of
PXM20(-E) is exceeded, no more devices are registered, or they do
not find a site.
This limitation can be avoided by using BACnet routers (PXG80-N,
PXG3.L) and PXM20 with network scope "Local". This way the
PXM20 is a temporary alarm recipient for the automation stations of
the own LonTalk segment only.
26/72

Important This setting should be modified only by fully trained staff.
Notes • This setting is not visible to all users.

• Local communication is only supported by the PXM20 and only
with Siemens PXG… routers. With other models, and with
PXM20-E, communication is always global.

11 Service support
11.1 Wiring test
Notes • The wiring test must be carried out only by service and
commissioning engineers when commissioning the system.
• The PXM20 and PXM20-E operator units only support I/Os that
are not configurable, i.e. dedicated I/Os on compact automation
stations and I/Os on PTM modules. No support of UIs and I/Os on
TX-I/O modules.
• Therefore the preferred method for wiring test is the Point
Test Tool.
Prerequisite The automation station which is the subject of the test must not be
integrated into a site and must not be loaded with application
software. Before the wiring test, a master reset of the automation
station is recommended.
Procedure A No site exists yet, i.e. no program has yet been loaded by an
automation control station.
– Select WIRING TEST
B A site already exists and you want to extend the network by

one automation station:
– Log into the required site.
– Go to Alarming & functions and choose Wiring test.

grouped according to signal type (analog, binary or multi-state, see
Figure 11-4).
Module No.
Signal:
AI = Analog input
AO = Analog output
BI = Binary input etc.
Figure 11-4 Analog signals list
From here you can select the various inputs and outputs and display
further information.
Note on analog inputs With the PX automation stations, the analog inputs in the application
can be configured. During the wiring test (=No application loaded) it
is always assumed that the analog input signal is a type LG Ni100
signal.
Note on exiting from Navigate to the top level (the openinig menu of the wiring test) by
the wiring test repeatedly pressing ESC, otherwise you will have to perform a
master reset of the PX automation station before you can carry out a
new wiring test.
Notes The PXM20-E operator unit must be able to communicate with the
on PXM20-E automation station via IP, and must not be configured for DHCP.
The Foreign Device option must be disabled (this is also the default
value). It is recommended that you operate the automation station to
be tested and the PXM20-E operator unit in the same range as the
default IP addresses and subnet masks. During the wiring test, the
PXM20-E operator unit assigns the automation station a temporary
IP address which is one digit higher than its own IP address:
Example: IP address of PXM20-E: 172.16.87.14
 IP address of automation station: 172.16.87.15.
The use of this IP address is not checked.
If the wiring test is carried out on a different PXM20-E operator unit,

a master reset of the automation is required before you start.
