SOFTWARE AND FIRMWARE VERSIONS
This user guide is valid for the following software versions:
•Linux 2.04.04
•Excel Web 2.02.12
NETWORK SECURITY
When operating Excel Web in IP networks, either private (e.g., VPN) networks must
be used or protection against the open Internet (e.g., with external firewalls) must be
ensured.
Honeywell hereby expressly states that the Excel Web controller is not inherently
protected against cyber attacks from the Internet and that it is therefore intended
solely for use in private, protected networks.
Unprotected Internet connections can expose the Excel Web controller to cyber
attacks from third parties who can then damage it and connected facility com-
ponents or cause them to malfunction, or who can misuse it for illegal purposes
for which the operator may then be held liable.
When directly connected to the Internet, the Excel Web controller automatically
becomes a potential target for cyber attacks. Corresponding protective measures
are therefore essential if safe and reliable operation is to be ensured.
If it is not necessary for the Excel Web controller to be accessible from the Internet,
it should be isolated from the Internet via a suitable firewall.
If it is necessary for the Excel Web controller to be accessible from the Internet (e.g.,
in order to perform remote maintenance), the use of a coded VPN connection is
indispensable. Suitable VPN routers are available from numerous third-party
manufacturers in a wide variety of designs, for operation at 230 V or 24 V.
For details, see also Excel Web Networking Whitepaper (Product Literature No.:
EN2B-0396GE51).

SYSTEM OVERVIEW
General
The Excel Web® is a BACnet/IP-based, freely programmable building automation
controller.
Excel Web® incorporates the two major open standards in building automation:
BACnet® and LONWORKS®.
As a native BACnet® building controller, Excel Web® integrates into any 3rd-party
BACnet® system and can integrate 3rd party BACnet devices and controllers.
Furthermore, Excel Web® is a full LONWORKS® controller. This gives the benefit of
enabling you to use of Honeywell’s complete LONWORKS® product portfolio and 3rd-
party LON products.
The Excel Web® can host a huge variety of building management applications, be it
traditional heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) applications, energy
management functions, including optimum start/stop, night purge, and maximum
load demand, supervisory functions for lighting, sunblind, heat and energy metering
and many other applications.
By virtue of its "peer-to-peer" concept, Excel Web® is not dependent upon the
availability of super ordinate centrals or application network controllers.
Excel Web® seamlessly integrates into Honeywell’s Enterprise Buildings
Integrator™ (EBI) and SymmetrE® front-ends.

Excel Web Firmware Linux operating system
XLWebExe-H-MM-LL.xwa, including firmware itself, BACnet driver and HTML pages
(H-MM-LL are version numbers).
Updating Firmware If, at some later point in time, i.e. after the release of a new version of the firmware,
the user wishes to download the new firmware into the Excel Web, this can be done
either via USB or Ethernet, using the CARE.
Browser Access / Operater Interface
Operator Interface The Excel Web® is operated via a standard web browser (Excel Web HTML
Interface). By default, an integrated web server provides all operation pages for a
full browser-based operation. Through the consequent use of software standards,
any PC platform can be used as an operator interface (client). In addition to laptops
and desktop PCs, panel PCs can also be used for direct flush mounting into panel
doors. Other than the operating system and Internet Explorer® or Netscape®, no
software needs to be installed on the client PCs.
Alternatively – or in addition – Excel Web can be operated with the Excel Touch
operator interface, which is a 5.7” touch-screen device (order number “XI882” For

Access Modes to
Excel Web Controller Any Excel Web controller on the network can be accessed via the browser-based
Excel Web HTML Interface, both locally and remotely. The Excel Web HTML
Interface can reside on any PC platform client such as:
•Desktop PC
•Notebook, Laptop
•Touch panel PC
The controller can be accessed in one of the following ways:
•LAN (remote access)
LAN
Excel Web Controller B
Excel Web Controller A
BACnet Client
Desktop PC, Notebook
Excel Touch
Fig. 1. Access to Excel Web controller via LAN
Permanent IP address, allocated by I.T. department
The Excel Web controller can be accessed remotely via LAN by allocating a valid
and permanent IP address to the controller, which is reachable within the LAN.
Procedure:
See Establish Remote LAN Connection section in CARE User Guide
EN2B0182GE51 / 74-5587.
Alias IP address, factory default
For access via Ethernet, the Excel Web has a permanent factory default IP
address 192.168.253.20 and Network Mask 255.255.255.0. Your PC's IP
address must match the Excel Web controller's default IP address. We
recommend using 192.168.253.21 and Network Mask 255.255.255.0.
When using this default address, you must ensure that you have only one
powered-up Excel Web controller on your Ethernet; otherwise, communication
will fail because all Excel Web controllers have the same permanent default IP
address. Alternatively, you can use an Ethernet cross-over cable between your
PC and the Excel Web controller rather than having your PC and the Excel Web
controller both connected to a LAN.
Standard Ethernet Interface of your PC
Change the (factory-set) configuration of the integrated Ethernet card so as to
match the Excel Web IP address and IP subnet.
NOTE:
In order to (subsequently) operate on your standard Ethernet network (again),
you will have to change the configuration back to the previous settings.
Dedicated Ethernet Interface of your PC
If the laptop or PC with which you wish to access the Excel Web via Ethernet/IP
is not already equipped with an integrated Ethernet Card, or if you want to leave
the IP settings of the integrated network card unchanged, you can buy and install
(into your laptop or PC) an external Ethernet network card.
•Crossover cable (local access)

USER GUIDE FALCON

Fig. 2. Access to Excel Web controller via crossover cable
To locally connect to the Excel Web controller via Ethernet, a crossover cable
can be used. Hence it has temporarily no connection to any other network and
the Excel Web controller is not reachable in the network.
The crossover cable connection type has the highest transfer rate (100 Mbit/s),
but when applied, the IP address settings of the client need to be changed.
Procedure:
See Establish Local Ethernet Connection via Crossover Cable section in CARE
User Guide EN2B0182GE51 / 74-5587.
•USB (local access)
Fig. 3. Access to Excel Web controller via USB
To locally connect to the Excel Web controller via USB interface, a D-Link DUB-
E100 USB 2.0 Fast Ethernet adapter can be used.
The USB connection type is recommended for the initial setup of an Excel Web
controller due to a reasonable transfer rate (2 Mbit/s) and because no IP address
changes are necessary after installation. In addition, the LAN connection can be
used in parallel and uninterruptedly.
Permanent IP address, factory default
For access via USB, the Excel Web has a permanent factory default IP address
192.168.252.20 and Network Mask 255.255.255.0. Your PC's IP address of the
Belkin USB network adapter must match the Excel Web controller's default IP
address subnet: We recommend using 192.168.252.21.
Procedure:
See Establish Local Connection via USB Cable section in CARE User Guide
EN2B0182GE51 / 74-5587.
IP Address Allocation
To establish any of the described connections, IP addresses must be allocated to
the relevant network components such as BACnet client, Excel Web controller(s)
and USB network adapter.
For further information, please refer to "Setup Excel Web Controller" section in
CARE User Guide EN2B0182GE51 / 74-5587.

You can work with CARE on an Excel Web controller via modem by connecting
remotely to the modem attached to the Excel Web controller. When the
connection is established, CARE can connect to the Excel Web controller via IP
address. LON-Commissioning can then be done by using a NIC IP (Loytec)
additionally.
Communication Settings Communication settings in the Excel Web HTML Interface comprise:
•Interface settings such as serial baudrates, IP address, neuron chip ID, MAC
address, automatic logout time of web server
•Modem settings
•Remote central (front-end) settings
Bus-Wide Operation Any user can operate all Excel Web controllers residing on a BACnet network.
Network
Based on its design as an IP device (see also "Communication Protocols"), the
Excel Web controller "speaks" BACnet over IP (Internet Protocol) and hence, can be
integrated smoothly and without the need for additional devices into any network
infrastructure having regard to the corresponding network security mechanism.

Network Load The network load for one Excel Web controller in combination with one EBI central
is about 1 % network load in a 10 Mbit network.
These figures are based on the following assumptions:
•20 BACnet properties per display
•BACnet properties are updated by 5 EBI displays simultaneously
•Each property is updated every 5 s. One update message for a simple property
needs 100 bytes, for a complex property 200 bytes.
Calculation: 5 displays * 20 properties/display * 150 bytes/property *
1 update/5 s = 30000 bits per second.
If alarms should be received and properties should be in trend, everything should
not consume more than 100 Kbits/s, which is 0,1 % in a 100 Mbit network.

Communication with other Excel Web® controllers, with 3rd-party BACnet® devices,
with Honeywell Enterprise Buildings Integrator™ and SymmetrE® front-ends, and
with 3rd-party BACnet® front-ends is based on the international BACnet® Protocol.
More details on the BACnet® Interoperability can be obtained from the Excel Web®
Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS).
LonTalk®
Communication with physical I/O modules, with room and zone controllers, and with
Excel 50/500 controllers is based on LonTalk®.
A Free Topology Transceiver (FTT-10A or FT-X1) allows a communication speed of
78 KBaud.
In typical cases, field devices are controlled via Honeywell Distributed I/O
(XFL52xB) or Smart I/O (XFCxxx) modules. Maximum cable lengths are 320 m to
2,200 m.
HTTP
Excel Web® can be operated using a standard Internet Explorer (5.5 or higher) or
Netscape (6.2.1 or higher). The required minimum screen resolution is 800 x 600
pixels. For more details, please refer to the "Operating the Excel Web HTML
Interface" section.
FTP
The firmware and application are downloaded via the standard FTP (File Transfer
Protocol).
Telnet
Telnet access to the Excel Web controller is possible for the purpose of service and
diagnostic of the Linux operating system and the Excel Web firmware. In case this is
needed, please contact your Honeywell representative.
SMTP
Simple Mail Transfer Protocol is used for the embedded Email alarming functionality
of Excel Web.

Time Synchronization BACnet clients such as EBI or 3rd-party BACnet front-ends, can time sync the Excel
web controller via the standard time sync or UTC time sync BACnet service. When
having multiple Excel web controllers on a network without any BACnet client being
the time master, the time must be set for any controller separately and correctly
before downloading the application.
EBI Compatibility The Excel Web controller communicates with BACnet front-ends only.
Supported BACnet front-ends are:
•EBI / SymmetrE Software
For more information, please refer to the following software release bulletins:
−EBI R300.1 with Excel Web / BACnet Software Update
−SymmetrE R300.2 with Excel Web Software Update
−EBI / SymmetrE R310.1 or later
•XFI Software
The XFI has not been tested yet with Excel Web, but supports BACnet
functionality.
Operation and Application Software
Programming The Excel Web® is freely programmable using the CARE Engineering Tool and is
thus ideal for all Building Control and Building Management tasks.
This allows making use of standard, pre-tested and pre-documented application and
control strategies.
Application Control Four selectable control loop speed classes (multitasking) with defined cycle times
and switching tables allow tailored and highly effective applications control.
User Administration Your control system is protected by defined user access rights. This ensures that
only authorized persons have access to the system data. There are six pre-defined
user levels. The predefined user levels are arranged hierarchically and the
sequence with descending priority is as follows:
•System Admin (128)
•Project Admin (115)
•Building Engineer (96)
•Operator (64)
•Tenant (32)
•Guest (0)
Excel Web® allows the definition of up to 128 user levels by default. The above
mentioned user levels are available. Each user level can have different read and
write rights assigned, e.g. Display Communication Settings, Create and Delete
Calendars, Change clock settings, etc. Several users with individual passwords can
be defined for each user level.
NOTE: There is no limit to the number of users per user level.
DatapointsDatapoints are the basis of the Excel Web – BACnet system. Datapoints contain
system-specific information such as values, status, limit values, and default settings.
The user has easy access to datapoints and the information they contain.
The user can recall and modify information in the datapoints.
Alarm Handling Alarm handling is defined and realized in the application.
BACnet alarming
On datapoint level, alarming is done by the BACnet intrinsic reporting service.
The following point changes may generate alarm messages:
•Exceeding limit values (analog points and pulse converter point)
•Changes of state (binary and multi-state input and value datapoints)
•Faults (due to, e.g. LON communication errors or e.g. sensors breaks)
