AC Controllers 
for control, switching and monitoring functions 
 
 
 
ACX36...
KNX + Modbus RTU 
LON + Modbus RTU 
 
The ACX36… controllers are designed for use in ventilation, air conditioning and 
refrigeration plant. They are products of the SICLIMAT® SAPHIR family.  
The following types of controllers are available:  
•  ACX36.000  Modbus RTU 
•  ACX36.030 
•  ACX36.040 
All controllers offer the following features: 
•  8 universal IOs (configurable inputs / outputs) 
•  5 digital inputs for potential-free contacts 
•  2 analog outputs with DC 0…10 V output voltage 
•  6 relay outputs (NO contacts) 
•  KNX or LON field bus "on board" 
•  RS-485 interface for use with Modbus RTU  
•  Service interface for monitoring and operation 
•  PPS2 interface for connecting room units 
To create ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration applications and to facili-
tate commissioning, powerful engineering and service tools are available.

In order to protect against accidental contact with relay connections at voltages above 
than 42 Veff, the device must be installed in an enclosure (preferably a control panel). It 
must be impossible to open the enclosure without the aid of a key or tool. 
AC 230 V cables must be double-insulated against safety extra low-voltage (SELV) 
cables.

Note 
 
 
On the ACX36.040 controller, all terminal markings are the same as those above, ex-
cept that the terminals for the LON connection at top right are marked CLA and CLB  
(in place of CE+ and CE- for KNX).
