Mounting/Dismounting Modules

Fig. 23. Locking the electronic module

NOTE: The red locking mechanism will not close if the electronic module is not properly mounted.

Dismounting Electronic Modules

NOTE: Electronic modules can be removed from the socket or inserted into the sockets without switching off the power supply. The behavior of connected field devices must be taken into consideration.

Open the red locking mechanism by sliding it to the left and then gently pull the electronic module out of the terminal socket.

Connecting via C-Bus

Via C-Bus, an XCL8010AU Controller Module can be connected to other controller systems to form a network.

Connecting to the Controller

Connect the C-Bus to the XCL8010AU Controller Module as follows:

Input to C-Bus terminals 8 and 9

Output to C-Bus terminals 5 and 6

Do not connect the C-Bus to the cabinet earth or any other earth ground points

Setting the C-Bus Termination Switch

Set the C-Bus termination switch S1 appropriately.

baud rate

 

S1

 

 

 

9.6k all

Up to 9600 baud (default setting)

 

 

 

 

76k mid

Up to 76800 baud without bus termination

 

 

 

 

76k end

Up to 76800 baud with bus termination

 

 

 

Shielding

In principle, data transmitting cables should be shielded in case of RFI.

On the controller side, connect the shield to terminals 7 and 10.

On the side of the device, connect the shield to the respective terminals.

Do not connect it to the cabinet ground or any other ground points.

Connecting HMIs or Laptops

Laptops or HMIs, e.g., XI582, can either be connected via the HMI interface of the XCL8010AU Controller Module or via the LONWORKS interface.

Connecting the XI582 Operator Interface

Connect the XI582AH Operator Interface to the HMI interface or LONWORKS interface of the XCL8010AU Controller Module by means of

the XW882 cable or

the XW582 cable connected with an XW586 cable.
