Chapter 1 – Product Overview 

The BACnet Actuating Terminal Equipment Controller (ATEC) is the Siemens Industry 

FLN controller used in pressure independent Variable Air Volume applications (See the 

following figure.). It provides Direct Digital Control (DDC) for eight applications, and 

can operate independently as a stand-alone DDC room controller or networked with a 

field panel. The controller provides all input/output, system, and local communication 

connections. Hardware consists of the controller and the mounting bracket. 
Table 1 lists the BACnet ATEC products that are covered:
