Commissioning Distributed I/O Modules
The following refers to the commissioning of Distributed I/O
modules in conjunction with Excel 500 controllers into which
controller firmware version 2.04.xx has been downloaded.
Previous to controller firmware version 2.04.xx, Distributed
I/O modules were used only on a local L
ONWORKS bus con-
nected to a single Excel 500 controller. Concurrent with the
release of controller firmware version 2.04.xx is the release of
the XFL52xB Distributed I/O modules with updated firmware
and with a new Neuron chip which make them fully L
ONMARK
compliant. This means that multiple Excel 500 controllers,
each with its own Distributed I/O modules, as well as third-
party L
ONMARK compliant devices, can coexist and inter-
operate on the same L
ONWORKS bus. Furthermore, the
XFL52xB modules can be used as third-party devices with
other L
ONMARK compliant products, independently of an
Excel 500 controller.
IMPORTANT:
Full L
ONMARK functionality requires an Excel 500
controller with controller firmware version 2.04.xx (or
later), a 3120E5 Neuron chip, and Distributed I/O
modules XFL52xB.
An Excel 500 controller with controller firmware
version 2.04.xx (or later) and a 3120E5 Neuron chip
will commission earlier versions of Distributed I/O
modules (XFL52x, XFL52xA), but only in the local
mode (max 16 modules per CPU and no other
controllers on the L
ONWORKS bus).
Distributed I/O modules XFL52xB can be used with
older versions of Excel 500 that support Distributed
I/O, but only if the modules are switched into a
different mode. This is accomplished by pressing the
service pin while simultaneously turning the rotary
HEX switch. This mode can be cancelled by
pressing the service pin for more than three
seconds.
