After the launch of the PXC4 and PXC5 controllers for small and medium-sized buildings, Siemens has added the PXC7 to its Desigo portfolio to offer more flexibility to building automation practitioners.

This addition allows professionals to programme heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) applications for larger buildings. Thanks to its simplified integration capabilities, the Desigo PXC7 controller supports system integrators in providing complete automation.

The controller is natively equipped with cloud connectivity so users can execute maintenance tasks remotely, allowing for faster reaction and saving travel time and costs, as well as additional services over the building lifecycle. It brings the standard communication protocol BACnet Secure Connect to the new line of PXC controllers, a requirement to secure connected building automation systems and defend them against cyber attacks.

The combination of compact hardware with the intuitive engineering software can help project managers gain efficiency over the whole lifecycle, from engineering to operation. The Desigo engineering framework provides pre-configured libraries with consistent and harmonised workflows to save training time and speed up project completion.

Siemens Smart Infrastructure connects energy systems, buildings and industries. It provides an end-to-end portfolio with products, systems and services from the point of power generation all the way to consumption. With an increasingly digitalised ecosystem, it has its global headquarters in Zug, Switzerland. The business had around 70,400 employees worldwide.

The Siemens parent company in Germany is focused on industry, infrastructure, transport and healthcare. In 2021, the Siemens group generated revenue of €62.3bn and net income of €6.7bn. It has around 303,000 employees worldwide.
