1 Layout of the XC100
The XC-CPU101-... controllers – referred to below simply as 
XC100 – have been designed for application in machinery and 
plant control systems. These controllers are fitted with interfaces 
for connecting to a programming device (RS 232) and for linking 
to decentralized CANopen expansion units, so they can form the 
core of a comprehensive automation system.
The XC100 controller has a compact design and can be fitted with 
either local or decentralized expansion. The basic unit consists of:
• Module rack
• A CPU for control or visualisation, with integral power supply 
and local inputs/outputs.
• XIOC signal modules.
CPU with PSU and local inputs/outputs
The CPU module of the XC100 has a compact design that is 
divided into two functional units:
• Processor unit with interfaces
• 24 V PSU with integral digital inputs (eight) and digital outputs 
(six).
24 V PSU with local inputs/outputs
The power supply unit provides the operating voltages required by 
the processor unit and the inputs/outputs (local and 
decentralized).
Function
The power supply transforms the 24 V DC supply voltage into the 
voltages required by the system. These voltages are fed to the bus 
on the basic rack unit and any expansion rack units that are 
present.
The special feature of connection to the 24 V supply voltage is that 
the processor unit and the local inputs/outputs can be fed 
separately. One 24 V connection is provided for the processor unit 
(labelled: 24V/0V) and another 24 V connection for the local 
inputs/outputs (labelled: 24VQ/0VQ).

section.
Detailed information about the module racks and XIOC 
modules can be found in the manual “Hardware and 
Engineering, XIOC Signal modules”. This manual is 
provided as a PDF file (h1452g.pdf) on the CD.
