XYR 6000 
Wireless 
Gateway  
This block allows the HC900 controller to act as a 
master device and communicate with an XYR6000 
wireless gateway via the Ethernet port of the 
controller. Configuration in HC900 master requires 
one block per gateway, up to 32 gateways or 1024 
parameters maximum. Only one block may be 
assigned to each XYR6000 gateway slave device. 
Even if it does not read or write parameters, it 
provides a means of connecting XYR6000 wireless 
transmitter blocks to it by way of ADDR output pin. 
The block outputs provide digital indication of 
communication integrity. For transmitter parameters 
that are readable, there is separate 6XYRT block 
which is connected to 6XYRWG via the ADDR output 
pin at the bottom of this block. If more parameters of 
any of the transmitters are to be read, then TCPR 
block can be used with 6XYRWG block similar to 
TCPS and TCPR combination. All outputs of the 
block can be connected or tagged in the same 
manner as any other function block output. If 
XYR6000 gateway slave device does not respond to 
a request, the last output value will be maintained.

XYR 6000 
Transmitter  
Use this block to read the process variables and 
device status of any XYR6000 transmitter. To access 
XYR6000 parameters, connect this block’s ADDR 
input to the ADDR output of the XYR6000 Gateway 
(6XYRWG) block. Five parameters—PV1, PV2, PV3, 
PV4 and DEV_STAT—are read from the XYR6000 
transmitter. DEV_STAT value contains several 
statuses of the transmitter, and each status from 
DEV_STAT is assigned its own output pin of this 
block. If a 6XYRWG gateway does not respond to a 
request from the HC900, the last read values will be 
maintained on the 6XYRT outputs.

HVAC Blocks   
   
Relative Humidity 
Calculates RH as a function of wet bulb temperature, 
dry bulb temperature and atmospheric pressure. 0 - 
100% RH is output as a floating point number 
between 0 and 100.

Humidity and 
Enthalpy  
This block calculates the Absolute Humidity and 
Enthalpy based on the input Air temperature (X1), Air 
relative Humidity (X2) and Barometric Pressure (P3). 
This block does not have any Configurable 
parameters. Output pin ERR turns ON when any of 
the inputs (X1, X2, P3) are out of range or if either of 
output values are out of range. In case of ERR ON, 
outputs Y1 and Y2 are set to 0.0.
