GENERAL
The XFL521B, 522B, 523B, and 524B modules are LONMARK
compliant digital and analog I/O modules which can be
installed at strategic locations within a building. These
modules convert sensor readings and provide output signals
used for operating actuators via LONWORKS standard network
variables (SNVTs). Each Distributed I/O module plugs into a
base terminal block allowing communication with controllers
via the built-in Echelon®LONWORKS bus interface. The ter-
minal block provides spring clamp terminals for easy connec-
tion of field cables from the various sensors and actuators.
The modular system allows Distributed I/O modules to be
removed from the system without disturbing other modules.
The module with terminal block mounts easily onto a DIN rail.
When using CARE, the Distributed I/O modules can be
automatically bound and commissioned to the Excel 500
CPU (XC5010C, XC5210C, XCL5010) and XL50. When the
modules are used by other controllers, provided plug-ins
permit the modules to be commissioned by CARE 4.0 or by
any LNS network management tool.
DESCRIPTION
These Distributed I/O modules use a Neuron® chip and an
FTT-10A free topology transceiver for communication on a
LONWORKS bus and comply with LONMARK Application Layer
Guidelines V3.2.

INTEROPERABILITY
The Distributed I/O modules are compliant to the LONMARK
Application Layer Interface Guidelines, version 3.2. The
modules contain a LONMARK Node Object to allow monitoring
and setting the status of the various Sensor / Actuator Ob-
jects, as well as a LONMARK Sensor Object for each input or
an Actuator Object for each individual output.
Upon receiving an update to the NViRequest network vari-
able, the NVoStatus network variable is updated. The defini-
tion of SNVT_obj_request includes an object ID field to allow
the Node Object to report status conditions for all objects on
a node.
All network variables have the NV names in their self-docu-
mentation strings. This allows a network management node
or tool to display meaningful information on a Distributed I/O
module even if it is installed by an EXCEL 500 controller and
not by the tool itself.
The Distributed I/O modules use the standard 6-byte location
string (see Table 2) in the Neuron® chip’s EEPROM to store
the module address (0...15 as set using the rotary HEX
switch in the case of applications prior to CARE 4.0) and the
module type.

Module Type:
0 = XFL521B Analog Input
1 = XFL522B Analog Output
2 = XFL523B Digital Input
3 = XFL524B Digital Output
Table 2. Location string for storing module address
The node self-documentation string contains the module type
and revision in the optional part after the semicolon.
Example:
#pragma set_node_sd_string &3.2@0,3[6;XDO2_2_00
In this example, the module type is "XDO2" ("2" means that
the 3120E5 chip is used) and the revision is "2.00".
LONMARK Node Object
Setting the Node Object to “DISABLE” via nviRequest
suppresses updating of all output NVs and handling of input
NVs. Setting the Node Object to “ENABLE” via nviRequest
returns the module to normal operation.
The Node Object also contains the optional NV nciNetConfig
which is initialized to “CFG_LOCAL” by default. This allows
the Distributed I/O module to set its location string. If a
network management node commands this nci to
“CFG_EXTERNAL”, then the module will no longer modify its
Location String. This nci is stored in EEPROM and remains
there even in the event of a power failure.
LONMARK Sensor/Actuator Objects
All Actuator Objects (contained in the output modules) have
an output NV showing the actual state of the physical output
and whether it is in the automatic or manual override mode.
Note that the output modules have a manual override panel
which can be plugged on or off.
All Sensor Objects (contained in the input modules) have a
configuration property, MaxSendTime, defining the heartbeat
time, i.e. the interval in which output NVs belonging to the
physical inputs will be sent even if their values do not
change.
All Sensor Objects also have a configuration property,
MinSendTime, defining the minimum time which must elapse
before a changed value of an output NV belonging to a
physical input will be sent. This is to limit the network traffic
when sensor values change rapidly.

RQ_SELF_TEST
Upon receiving an update to nviRequest, nvoStatus is
updated.
RQ_SELF_TEST is used only in the XFL522B analog
output module for outputs configured as a motor. In
this case, a synchronization is performed to set the
actuator in the 0% position.
nvoStatus SNVT_obj_status Reports the status of the node upon request through
nviRequest.
nciNetConfig SNVT_config_src CFG_LOCAL (default)
CFG_EXTERNAL
This configuration variable is set to CFG_LOCAL at
the factory and whenever the rotary HEX switch is
reset. If it is set to CFG_EXTERNAL, a network
manager will assign a network address for the node. In
this case, the module will not modify its location string
as long as the rotary HEX switch is not reset.
nvoFileDirectory SNVT_address
Points to a file directory in the address space of the
Neuron® chip containing descriptors for the files in the
module. It is used to access the configuration pro-
perties stored in configuration parameter files
accessed by network management read/write
messages.
SCPTMinSendTime SNVT_time_sec 1.0 to 10.0 sec
(default = 1.0 sec)
Defines the minimum period of time between output
variable transitions. This configuration property is
applicable only to output NVs of the input modules.
SCPTMaxSendTime SNVT_time_sec 1.0 to 6553.4 sec
(default = 60.0 sec)
Defines the maximum time period of time before out-
put NVs are automatically updated. It must be set to a
higher number than SCPTminSendTime. This con-
figuration property is applicable only to output NVs of
the input modules.
XFL52xB Module Response Times
The response time of Distributed I/O modules is defined as
the period of time between the updating of the physical signal
and the updating of the NV (or vice versa). The response
time varies somewhat due to certain factors and is also
dependent upon the module type (see also Table 4).

Fig. 2. LONMARK Object for each analog input
For each Sensor Object, the XFL521B Analog Input
Module provides an additional output NV, SNVT_temp_p,
which communicates the temperature in °C. This allows
this module to be used as a true temperature sensor in an
open LONMARK integration. If the Sensor Object is con-
figured as 0 to 10V, this NV will be invalid (0x7FFF).

nviValue SNVT_switch Receives the value for the output channel.
nvoFeedback SNVT_switch
Transmits the feedback value of the actuator output. If
the manual override switch is set to 0, or if the manual
override module is not plugged in, the feedback output
reflects the value of nviValue. As soon as the manual
override switch is set at the 20% threshold, the
Actuator Objects adopts this manual value. In this
case, the value of nvoFeedback will be 0xFF (invalid)
and the value field will contain the actuator position.
If the actuator is configured as a motor, the position
commanded with the manual override switch will be
reflected in the open/close commands for a floating
actuator.
If the manual override switch is in the automatic posi-
tion, data is transmitted whenever nviValue is written.
If the manual override switch is in the manual position,
data is transmitted whenever the manual position is
changed.
UCPTSensorConfig none
0 = not used
6 = 0 to 10V (default)
7 = motor (floating)
Specifies the actuator output type for an output

UCPTdriveTimeClose SNVT_time_sec 10.0 to 1000 sec
(default = 90.0 sec)
Specifies a floating actuator’s runtime from 100% to
0%.
UCPTdriveTimeOpen SNVT_time_sec 10.0 to 1000 sec
(default = 90.0 sec)
Specifies a floating actuator’s runtime from 0% to
100%.
SCPTdelayTime SNVT_time_sec 0.0 to 10.0 sec
(default = 5.0 sec)
Specifies the delay time before a floating actuator
changes its direction. This avoids mechanical
problems that could occur when the run direction
changes due to an update to nviValue while the
actuator is still moving.
SCPTminDeltaLevel SNVT_lev_cont.
Specifies the delta level for an update to nviValue to
be exceeded before a new position is calculated for
the floating motor model. This is applicable only if the
actuator is configured as a motor.
UCPTsyncMin SNVT_lev_cont 0 to10%
(default = 2%)
Specifies the lower synchronization threshold. If the
actuator is configured as a motor and the value
commanded through nviValue approaches 0%, the
actuator is synchronized to 0% as soon as nviValue
reaches the percentage specified by UCPTsyncMin.
UCPTsyncMax SNVT_lev_cont 90 to 100%
(default = 98%)
Specifies the upper synchronization threshold. If the
actuator is configured as a motor and the value
commanded through nviValue approaches 100%, the
actuator is synchronized to 100% as soon as nviValue
reaches the percentage specified by UCPTsyncMax.
UCPTsyncCharge SNVT_lev_cont 0 to 127.5%
(default = 100%)
Specifies the additional runtime when an actuator per-
forms a synchronization. This is to ensure that the
actuator reaches the end position even if the actuator
position is not what it should be due to inaccuracy.
For example, with UCPTsyncCharge at 100%, an
actuator with a theoretical current position of 20%
would be forced to run 120% of the runtime specified
by UCPTdriveTimeClose if it starts a synchronization
from this point of operation.

For each Sensor Object, the XFL523B Digital Input Module
provides an additional output NV, SNVT_switch. For an open
LONMARK integration, this offers a more convenient way of
accessing the sensor value compared to using the NV
SNVT_count. If the Sensor Object is configured as
“Totalizer”, this NV is invalid (state = 0xFF, value = 0).

Digital Output Module XFL524B
•Six isolated change-over contacts
•Max. voltage Umax = 230 Vac per output
•Max. current Imax = 2 A per output
•LED per channel
OFF: LED off
ON: LED illuminated (yellow)
•Green power LED (L1) and red LONWORKS status LED
(L2)
•Cycle time 1 sec with CPU
•Dimensions (WxLxH): 47x97x70 mm
The digital output module has six isolated change-over con-
tacts which can be connected to actuators or other switch-
able devices.
The unit plugs into the XSL514 Terminal Block and can be
inserted and removed without disturbing other units on the
bus. Terminals 1 through 18 are switched according to the
adjacent figure. Six LEDs are located on top of the module.
The module address is set using the rotary HEX switch (in
the case of applications prior to CARE 4.0).
Beginning with Excel 500 controller firmware version 2.04.00,
the online point attribute Normally Open / Normally Closed
(NO/NC) defines the relation between the physical state
(relay on/off) and its logical status. See Table 9.
NOTE: The relays can be used to switch signals with up to
230 Vac and 2 A. All outputs from a single module
must be of the same kind. It is not allowed to mix
high-voltage (e.g. 230 Vac) and low-voltage (e.g.
24 Vac) signals.

NV Name Type Range Description
nviValue SNVT_switch Receives the value for the output channel.
nvoFeedback SNVT_switch
Transmits the feedback value of the Actuator Object. If
the manual override switch is set to auto, or if the
manual override module is not plugged in, the
feedback output reflects the value of nviValue. As
soon as the manual override switch is set to either
manual position, the Actuator Object adopts this
manual value. In this case, the state of nvoFeedback
will be 0xFF (invalid) and the value field will contain
the actuator position.
If the manual override switch is in the automatic posi-
tion, data is transmitted whenever nviValue is written.
If the manual override switch is in the manual position,
data is transmitted whenever the manual position is
changed.
nvoManCnt SNVT_count 0 to 65535
Transmits the number of manual switching operations.
Each transition from the "auto/manual on/manual off"
state to any other state is counted by incrementing this
NV.

Terminal Block Connection
NOTE: The terminal blocks are to be mounted on 1.5-inch
(35-mm) DIN rails (DIN/EN 50 022 35x15). The
mounting panel should have a minimum thickness of
0.08 inch (2 mm) to provide reference potential for
proper grounding and shielding. The maximum
distance between the fastening points of the rail
should be 5.9 inches (150 mm).
The LONWORKS connector module (see section "LONWORKS
Connector Module XSL511") can be used as an interface
between the LONWORKS bus and the Distributed I/O modules.
The terminal blocks may be fitted alongside one another.
Depending upon the configuration, either one or two
termination modules are required for terminating a
LONWORKS bus with FTT devices on it. See also section
"LonWorks Bus Termination Modules" on page 23 for more
information on termination.
Mounting with the LonWorks Connector Module
IMPORTANT
When mounting the terminal blocks using the
XSL511 LonWorks Connector Module, the following
worst-case power consumption analysis must be
performed to determine the required transformer.
Select the worst-case maximum current rating for the
XSL511 based upon the maximum temperature of the
installation as stated in Table 11.
The electronic fuse RXE160 is applied in XSL511 with date
code 9916 and higher. Ratings are as follows:

of the bus in case any slippage occurs on the DIN
rail.
2. Install the 3rd-party DIN rail end bracket onto the left end of
the rail.
3. Install the connector module onto the left end of the rail
next to the end bracket by first hooking the terminal end of
the module onto the rail and snapping it into place.
4. If necessary (e.g. in case of vibrations due to refrigerating
equipment, etc.), mount braces (see Fig. 11).
5. Install the first terminal block onto the rail.
NOTE: To avoid damage, ensure that the sliding bus con-
nector does not extend past the left edge of the

Coding the Terminal Block
The terminal block is coded using the XAL-Code, (package of
20 combs).
Fig. 12. Coding comb patterns
These pins prevent mixing the module types during
commissioning or servicing.
CAUTION
Mixing the modules can destroy them.
The terminal block is coded by inserting pins into designated
location holes on the terminal block in the base. This codes
the electronics modules to their respective terminal blocks.
1. Break off the coding pins on the coding comb such that
the comb is left with the coding combinations shown in
Fig. 12.
2. The comb side corresponding to the respective terminal
block is inserted into the location holes in the terminal
block and broken off (positions 1 to 9 are printed on the
circuit board of the terminal block for alignment).
Fig. 13. Inserting coding comb into terminal block
3. Next, the other side of the comb is inserted into the elec-
tronics module location holes and likewise broken off. If
one or more opposing location holes both contain pins,
then the module cannot be mounted onto the terminal
block. The module can be mounted only if the single
coding pin corresponds to the missing pin in the terminal
block.

Setting the Module Address
NOTE: The module address is set using the rotary HEX
switch (in the case of applications prior to CARE
4.0).
All modules will report the setting of the 16-position rotary
HEX switch as a 2-byte ASCII number in the lowest 2 bytes
of the Neuron® chip’s location string. Changing the rotary
HEX switch setting causes the module to reset its application
configuration (sensor selection, output selection, motor
runtime, etc.) and go unconfigured. Modules will run their
application in the unconfigured state so that another change
of the DIP switch will be recognized.
To remove the cover or a manual override module from the
Distributed I/O module, do the following:
1. Insert the cover release tool XAL2 into the corresponding
slots in the electronics module to release the locking tabs.
The tool should be inserted such that the marking is on
the right-hand side.
Fig. 15. Inserting opening tool
2. Lift off the cover as is depicted in Fig. 16.
Fig. 16. Lifting the cover off
IMPORTANT
Always use the XAL2 tool to remove the cover or a
manual override module from an output module. Lift
off manual override modules carefully to avoid
tearing the attached flat strip cable.
Fig. 17. Rotary HEX switch location
3. The module address is set by turning the HEX switch to
the appropriate address code using a screwdriver.
CAUTION
Do not plug an XFL module without a cover or manual
override module into the terminal block.
