System Overview
System Architecture
An Excel 800 System consists of the XCL8010 Controller and various I/O modules.
The XCL8010 Controller provides interface connections, which allow connection to external systems.
Auxiliary parts enable special features.

I/O Modules
Pluggable I/O Modules
There are 2 variants of pluggable I/O modules:
Panel Bus I/O modules with communication via Panel
Bus (light-gray housings). Panel Bus I/O modules are
automatically commissioned (with firmware download) by
the XCL8010 Controller.
L
ONWORKS Bus I/O modules (dark-gray housings) with
communication via LONWORKS (FTT10-A, link power
compatible) for easy integration and use with 3rd-party
controllers.
Mixed I/O Modules
Besides the pluggable Panel Bus I/O modules (consisting of
a terminal socket and a removable electronic module), there
are also mixed Panel Bus I/O modules. Specifically: the
XF830A and XFU830A are mixed Panel Bus I/O modules,
featuring an integrated terminal socket and a variety of
inputs and outputs.
Mixed Panel Bus I/O modules have a light-gray housing and
are likewise automatically commissioned (with firmware
download) by the XCL8010 Controller.
Terminal Sockets
Pluggable I/O modules must be mounted on the appropriate
terminal sockets. Pluggable Panel Bus I/O modules and
pluggable LONWORKS Bus I/O modules use the same
terminal sockets. These terminal sockets are available with
push-in terminals (XS82…) or with screw-type terminals
(XSU82…).
Mixed I/O modules feature an integrated terminal socket.
Color Coding
To distinguish modules and components, the following color
coding is used:

Manual Overrides as per EN ISO 16484-2:2004
The manual override switches and potentiometers of the output modules (…R822A, …R824A, and XFR825A) support direct
operation as per EN ISO 16484-2:2004, section 5.4.3 "Local Priority Override/Indicating Units."
Specifically, the positions of the manual override switches and potentiometers directly control the outputs – independently of the
Excel 800 Controller and HMI. When a manual override switch or potentiometer is not in its default position ("auto"), the
corresponding output LED will blink continuously, and the output module will send a feedback signal with the status "manual
override" and the given override position to the Excel 800 Controller (which will then also store this information in its alarm
memory).
NOTE: When updating the firmware of output modules, their outputs are turned OFF – regardless of the position of their
manual override switches and/or potentiometers.

Standard Transformers (Europe, North America)
Standard commercially available transformers used to
supply power to Excel 800 Systems must fulfill the following
specifications:
Output voltage Impedance AC current
24.5 VAC to 25.5 VAC 1.15 Ωmax. 2 A
24.5 VAC to 25.5 VAC 0.40 Ωmax. 6 A
24.5 VAC to 25.5 VAC 0.17 Ωmax. 12 A
Table 13 Requirements for standard transformers
RIN-APU24 Uninterruptable Power Supply
The RIN-APU24 Uninterruptable Power Supply can be wired
to power Excel 800 Systems.
See also RIN-APU24 Uninterruptable Power Supply –
Mounting Instructions (MU1B-0258GE51) for detailed wiring
diagrams.
Power Supply of Field Devices
Depending upon the power consumption of the field devices
used, it is possible to use either a single transformer to
power both the XCL8010 Controller and attached field
devices, or it may be necessary to employ an additional
transformer. See also section "Field Device Cables" on
page 12 and connection examples on page 28.
Fusing Specifications
Please observe the following when selecting fusing (F1 / F2)
for the XCL8010 Controller, I/O modules, and active field
devices:
Use separate fusing for different loads (e.g., for the
XCL8010 Controller and I/O modules on one hand
versus for active field devices on the other).
Fuse ratings must always be calculated according to the
loads connected. Refer to the load tables appearing in
the documentation of your Honeywell devices (Table 10
provides information on Excel 800 device loads).
Use slow-acting fuses; this is because the XCL8010
Controller, the I/O modules, and active field devices
have a high in-rush current due to their built-in
capacitors (current typically limited by one internal
2 Ohm resistor per device).
Fuses should be calculated to protect the transformer
against overloading and the wiring against short-
circuiting. The XCL8010 Controller and the I/O modules
are protected by an internal fuse (not user-replaceable)
against internal component defects.
For connection examples see description of the I/O modules
on page 38 and following.
System Protective Earth Grounding
Excel 800 Systems comply with SELV (Safety Extra-Low
Voltage). Earth grounding is therefore not recommended.
However, if compliance with EN60204-1 is required, see
Appendix 1.
Lightning Protection
Please contact your local Honeywell representative for
information on lightning protection.
Panel Bus Topologies
Up to 16 Panel Bus I/O modules can be controlled by a
single XCL8010 Controller.
Panel Bus I/O modules must be addressed using the
HEX switch.
Max. Panel Bus length: 40 meters. Any type of cabling
and topology (including star and loop topology) permitted.
Bus termination unnecessary
Polarity-insensitive

Planning Excel 800
EN1B-0375GE51 R0315 10
LONWORKS Bus Topologies
The LONWORKS Bus is a 78-kilobit serial link that uses trans-
former isolation so that the bus wiring does not have a
polarity. I.e. it is not important which of the two LONWORKS
Bus terminals are connected to each wire of the twisted pair.
The LONWORKS Bus does not need to be shielded on the
controller module side.
The LONWORKS Bus can be wired in daisy chain, star, loop
or any combination thereof as long as the max. wire length
requirements are met.
Configuration
The recommended configuration is a daisy chain with two
bus terminations. This layout allows for max. LONWORKS
Bus lengths, and its simple structure presents the least
number of possible problems, particularly when adding on to
an existing bus.
See also “LONWORKS Mechanisms”, Product Literature no.:
EN0B-0270GE51.
C-Bus Topologies
Via the C-Bus up to 30 C-Bus devices (e.g., controllers, etc.)
can communicate with one another and a PC central. The
C-Bus must be connected via the individual controllers
(open ring).
NOTE: Star connection is not allowed as this might
cause uncontrollable line reflections.
Instead of Excel 800 Controllers, other C-Bus controllers
(e.g., the Excel 500, Excel 100, Excel 50) can also be
connected.

NOTE: The above-listed cable types are as
recommended by Echelon in their FTT-10A User
Guide.
NOTE: Honeywell recommends the use of level IV,
22 AWG, solid core, non-shielded cable.
NOTE: Belden part numbers are 9H2201504 (plenum)
and 9D220150 (non-plenum).
FTT Specification
The FTT specification includes two components that must
be met for proper system operation:
The distance from each transceiver to all other
transceivers and to the termination must not exceed the
max. node-to-node distance.
If multiple paths exist, the max. total wire length is the
total amount of wire used.

Table 19 Free topology (singly-terminated) specifications
NOTICE
Unpredictable reflections on the bus due to step change
in line impedance characteristics!
►Do not use different wire types or gauges on the same
LONWORKS network segment.
NOTE: In the event that the limit on the total wire length
is exceeded, the FTT physical layer repeaters
(FTT 10A) can be added to interconnect seg-
ments. This increases the overall length by an
amount equal to the original specification for that
cable type and bus type for each repeater used.
For example, adding repeaters for a doubly-
terminated bus using JY (St) Y 2 x 2 x 0.8 cable
increases the max. length by 900 m (3000 ft) for
each repeater.

►Do not touch any live parts in the cabinet.
►Disconnect the power supply before you start to install
the Excel 800 System.
More than one disconnect switch may be required to de-
energize the system.
►Do not reconnect the power supply until you have
completed the installation.
►Unused terminals must be closed (by completely
screwing in the terminal screws), thus preventing the
accidental touching of “live” parts.

Risk of malfunction!
►Wire Panel Bus I/O modules and LONWORKS Bus
I/O modules separately.
►When using both Panel Bus and LONWORKS Bus
I/O modules in an Excel 800 System, LONWORKS Bus
I/O modules must be connected to the controller via
LON terminals 11 … 14.
Position the bridge connector on terminals 71 … 74 of the
right-hand terminal socket or mixed I/O module or controller
and on terminals 75 … 78 of the left-hand terminal socket or
mixed I/O module or controller. Then press the bridge
connector down.
Fig. 18 Connecting terminal sockets with bridge
connector
NOTE: Bridge connectors transmit both communication
signals and power supply between modules.
Removing bridge connectors will thus interrupt
the transmission of both communication signals
and power supply between the modules.
