Commissioning I/O Modules
Commissioning Panel Bus I/O Modules
During CARE engineering, the HEX address of the Panel
I/O modules is defined.
Note
In the case of Panel Bus I/O modules, it is essential that the
HEX switch be set to the address assigned during CARE
engineering.
The XCL8010 Controller automatically commissions all
Panel Bus I/O modules.
Commissioning LONWORKS Bus I/O Modules
Commissioning is done using CARE.
Updating Software
The XCL8010 Controller’s software can be updated using
CARE.
Software with Panel Bus I/O Modules
The XCL8010 Controller’s firmware includes the firmware
for the Panel Bus I/O modules. Thus, whenever the
XCL8010 Controller’s firmware is updated, the firmware of
the Panel Bus I/O modules is automatically updated, too.
Example
Status before update: The XCL8010 Controller was loaded
with controller firmware V3.01.03, which included the cor-
responding Panel Bus I/O module firmware as shown in the
accompanying figure.
When the controller firmware is updated from V3.01.03 to
V3.02.02, if newer firmware is available for individual Panel
Bus I/O modules, their firmware will be automatically
updated, too. In this example, newer Panel Bus I/O module
firmware is, indeed, available for all but the XF830A Mixed
Panel Bus I/O modules. As a consequence, the firmware of
all of the Panel Bus I/O modules – except for the XF830A
Mixed Panel Bus I/O modules – will be updated,
accordingly.

firmware (example)
Note
Panel Bus I/O modules feature a so-called watchdog
functionality. Consequently, if the firmware of the given
Panel Bus I/O module stops running (due, e.g., to updating),
this watchdog functionality will switch OFF the module’s
outputs (if present) – even if the corresponding manual
overrides (if present) have been set to ON. Thus, the
manual overrides should NOT be thought of as emergency
overrides; rather, they are subordinate to the given Panel
Bus I/O module’s processor and firmware.
Software with LONWORKS Bus I/O Modules
The software of the LONWORKS I/O modules can be updated
using CARE or EXCELON.
