M4-XPM Expansion Modules Installation Guide
Application
The M4-XPM series expansion I/O modules can serve
in one of two capacities depending on where they are
installed in the Metasys system. When installed on the
Sensor/Actuator (SA) Bus of an equipment controller, an
XPM expands the input and output interfaces that can be
used with that equipment controller. When installed on
the Field Controller (FC) Bus of a Metasys network engine,
an XPM can be used as I/O point multiplexors to support
monitoring and control from a Metasys network engine.
The point multiplexor can also be useful for sharing points
between other equipment controllers on the FC Bus using
peer-to-peer connectivity. XPMs operate on an RS-485
BACnet MS/TP Bus and are BACnet Testing Laboratory
(BTL) listed and certified to the BACnet Smart Actuator (B-
SA) profile.
Communications Protocols
The XPM expansion modules can communicate using
BACnet MS/TP or wireless using a ZFR/ZFR Pro Wireless
Field Bus Router (on the FC Bus only). By default, the XPM
expansion modules communicate using the BACnet MS/
TP protocol. The BACnet protocol is a standard for ANSI,
ASHRAE, and the International Standards Organization
(ISO) for building controls. To configure these expansion
modules in a wireless application installation, see
Configuring wireless communications.
Note: Using Controller Configuration Tool (CCT)
10.1 and later, Metasys Equipment Controllers
can be configured to communicate using either
the BACnet MS/TP or the N2 field bus networking
protocol. The operation of an XPM on the SA Bus
of an equipment controller is not affected by the
selection of the BACnet MS/TP or the N2 protocol in
the host controller.

Communications Bus Technical Bulletin (LIT-12011034).
Terminal blocks and bus ports
See Physical features for terminal block and bus port
locations on the XPM expansion module. Observe the
following guidelines when wiring an XPM expansion
module.
Input and Output terminal blocks
XPM models have removable input and output terminal
blocks. On XPM09090 and XPM04060 models, all of the
input terminal blocks are located on the bottom of the
controller, and the output terminal blocks are located
on the top of the expansion module. The XPM18000 has
inputs only which are located on both the top and bottom
of the expansion module. For information about removing
a terminal block, see Removing a terminal block. For more
information about I/O terminal functions, requirements,
and ratings, see Terminal wiring guidelines, functions,
ratings, and requirements.
SA/FC Bus Terminal Block
An XPM can be connected to a Sensor/Actuator (SA)
bus or a Field Controller (FC) bus, but not to both buses
simultaneously. The SA/FC bus terminal block is a
removable, 4-pin terminal block that fits into a board-
mounted pin header.
When connecting the XPM to an FC bus, wire the bus
terminal blocks on the expansion module, and the other
FC Bus devices in a daisy-chain configuration using 3-
wire twisted, shielded cable as shown in the following
figure. See Communications bus and supply power wiring
guidelines for more information about communication
bus terminal block functions, ratings and requirements.
Figure 6: FC bus terminal block wiring
When connecting the XPM to an SA bus, wire the bus
terminal blocks on the expansion module and other
SA bus devices in a daisy-chain configuration using 4-
wire twisted, shielded cable as shown in the following
figure. See Communications bus and supply power wiring
guidelines for more information about communication
bus terminal block functions, ratings and requirements.
M4-XPM Expansion Modules Installation Guide4

Figure 7: SA bus terminal block wiring
Note:
The PWR/SHD terminal does not supply 15 VDC. The
PWR/SHD terminal is isolated and can be used to
connect (daisy chain) the 15 VDC power leads on the
SA bus or the cable shields on the FC bus.
The SA bus supervisor (CGE, CGM, CVE, CVM, FAC,
FEC, or VMA Controllers) supplies 15 VDC to the
devices on the SA bus that require power.
SA/FC bus port
The SA/FC bus port on the front of the expansion module
is an RJ-12, 6-position modular jack that provides a
connection for devices on the SA bus or a ZFR183x Pro
Wireless Router depending on which bus the expansion
module is operating on.
The SA/FC bus port is connected internally to the SA/
FC bus terminal block. See Communications bus and
supply power wiring guidelines for more information
about communication bus port functions, ratings and
requirements. The SA/FC bus port pin assignment is
shown in Physical features.
Figure 8: Pin number assignments for sensor, SA bus
and FC bus ports on expansion modules
Supply power terminal block
The 24 VAC supply power terminal block is a gray,
removable, 2-pin terminal block that fits into a board-
mounted pin header on the top right of the controller.
Wire the 24 VAC supply power wires from the transformer
to the HOT and COM terminals on the terminal plug as
shown in Figure 9. For more information about the Supply
Power Terminal Block, see Table 5.

4 24 VAC (Orange wire)
5 COM (Brown wire)
Note: The supply power wire colors may be different
on transformers from other manufacturers. Refer to
the transformer manufacturer’s instructions and the
project installation drawings for wiring details.
Important: Connect 24 VAC supply power to the
expansion module and all other network devices
so that transformer phasing is uniform across the
network devices. Powering network devices with
uniform 24 VAC supply power phasing reduces
noise, interference, and ground loop problems. The
expansion module does not require an earth ground
connection.
Important: Power wires must be less than 30
meters between expansion module and transformer.
Inputs/outputs with cables less than 30 m (100 ft)
typically do not require an offset in the software
setup. Cable runs over 30 m (100 ft) may require an
offset in the input/output software setup.
Terminal wiring guidelines, functions,
ratings, and requirements
This section provides further guidelines on input and
output wiring, maximum cable length versus load current,
and SA Bus and supply power wiring.
For information about removing a terminal block from the
expansion module, see Removing a terminal block.

Input and Output wiring guidelines
I/O terminal block functions, ratings and requirements
provides information and guidelines about the functions,
ratings, and requirements for the controller input and
output terminals, and Table 4 also references guidelines
for determining proper wire sizes and cable lengths.
In addition to the wiring guidelines in I/O terminal block
functions, ratings and requirements, observe these
guidelines when wiring expansion modules inputs and
outputs:
• Run all low-voltage wiring and cables separate from
high-voltage wiring.
• All input and output cables, regardless of wire size or
number of wires, should consist of stranded, insulated,
and twisted copper wires.
• Shielded cable is not required for input or output
cables.
• Shielded cable is recommended for input and output
cables that are exposed to high electromagnetic or
radio frequency noise.
• Inputs/outputs with cables less than 30 m (100 ft)
typically do not require an offset in the software setup.
Cable runs over 30 m (100 ft) may require an offset in
the input/output software setup.

Setting the device address
About this task:
Metasys expansion modules are manager devices on
MS/TP (FC or SA) buses. Before you operate expansion
modules on a bus, you must set a valid and unique
device address for each expansion module on the bus.
You set the XPM device address by setting the positions
of the Device Address rotary switches at the top of the
expansion module.
The following table describes the valid rotary switch
device addresses for communications bus applications.

Note: Addresses 0-3 are
reserved and not for use on
expansion modules.
ZFR Pro wireless
communication
4-127
Note: Addresses 0-3 are
reserved and not for use on
expansion modules.
The device address is a decimal address that is set using
three rotary switches located at the top of the expansion
module. The numbers are ordered from left to right,
100s, 10s, and 1s when the expansion module is oriented
as shown in Physical features. In the following figure,
the switches are set to 1 2 3, designating this expansion
module's device address as 123.
Figure 11: Device address rotary switch block
The device address must match the device address
defined in the Controller Configuration Tool (CCT) under
Define Hardware > Network Settings.
To set the device addresses on XPM expansion modules,
complete the following steps:
1. Set a unique and sequential device address for
each of the devices connected on the FC or SA Bus,
starting with device address 4.
2. To ensure the best bus performance, set sequential
device addresses with no gaps in the device
address range (4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and so on). The
devices do not need to be physically connected on
the bus in their numerical device address order.
3. Write each expansion module's device address on
the white label below the device address rotary
switch block on the expansion module's cover.
Refer to the MS/TP Communications Bus Technical
Bulletin (LIT-12011034) for more information about
device addresses and how to set them on MS/TP
buses.
Removing a terminal block
About this task:
To remove a terminal block from the circuit board,
complete the following steps:
Note: You need a flat blade screwdriver to remove
the terminal block.
1. To prevent any possibility of damage from an
accidental short, remove power from the
expansion module.
M4-XPM Expansion Modules Installation Guide16

2. Underneath the terminal block, in the small gap
between the bottom of the terminal block and
the circuit board, insert the flat blade of the
screwdriver.
Figure 12: Terminal block
3. To detach the left-hand side of the terminal block,
position the flat blade underneath the terminal
block to the left, and push down the screwdriver
handle. When you do this, you are using the
screwdriver as a lever to pry up the terminal block.
4. To detach the right-hand side of the terminal block,
position the flat blade underneath the terminal
block to the right, and push down the screwdriver
handle.
5. If necessary, repeat steps 3 and 4 until the terminal
block is removed.
Removing the expansion module cover
About this task:
Important: Electrostatic discharge can damage
expansion module components. Use proper
electrostatic discharge precautions during
installation, setup, and servicing to avoid damaging
the expansion module.
Important: Disconnect all power sources to
the expansion module before removing cover
and changing the position of any jumper or the
EOL switch on the expansion module. Failure to
disconnect power before changing a jumper or
EOL switch position can result in damage to the
expansion module and void any warranties.
The expansion module cover is held in place by four
plastic latches that extend from the base and snap into
slots on the inside of the housing cover.
To remove the expansion module cover, complete the
following steps:
1. Place your fingertips under the two cover lift tabs
(Physical features) on the sides of the housing
cover and gently pry the top of the cover away
from the base to release the cover from the two
upper latches.
2. Pivot the top of the cover further to release it from
the lower two latches.
3. Replace the cover by placing it squarely over the
base, and then gently and evenly push the cover
on to the latches until they snap into the latched
position.

switch and jumper positions (XPM09090 model shown)
Setting the End-of-Line (EOL) switch
About this task:
Each XPM expansion module has an EOL switch, which,
when set to ON (up), sets the expansion module as a
terminating device on the bus. See figure labeled XPM with
cover removed showing EOL switch and jumper positions for
the EOL switch location. The default EOL switch position is
OFF (down).
Figure 14: End-of-Line switch positions
To set the EOL switch on an expansion module, complete
the following steps:
1. Determine the physical location of the expansion
module on the SA or FC bus.
2. Determine if the expansion module must be set as
a terminating device on the bus.
Note: SA and FC buses have different EOL
termination rules. For detailed information
about EOL termination rules and EOL switch
settings, refer to the MS/TP Communications
Bus Technical Bulletin (LIT-12011034).
3. If the expansion module is a terminating device
on the FC bus, set the EOL switch to ON. If the
expansion module is not a terminating device on
the bus, set the EOL switch to Off.
When an expansion module is connected to power
with its EOL switch set to ON, the amber EOL LED
on the controller cover is illuminated.
M4-XPM Expansion Modules Installation Guide 17

Setting the UI current loop jumpers
CAUTION
Risk of Electric Shock:
Disconnect supply power to the expansion module
before attempting to adjust the UI current loop
jumpers. Failure to disconnect the supply power may
result in electric shock.
ATTENTION
Mise En Garde: Risque de décharge électrique:
Débrancher l'alimentation de l'controller avant tout
réglage du UI current loop jumpers. Le non-respect de
cette précaution risque de provoquer une décharge
électrique.
The UI current loop jumpers are on the circuit board
under the expansion module cover near the UI terminals
(Figure 13). When a UI is defined (in the system software)
as a 4-20 mA Analog Input, set the UI's current loop
jumper to the Enabled position (Figure 15).
Figure 15: UI Current loop jumper positions
Setting the current loop jumper to the Enabled position,
connects an internal 100 ohm resistor across the UI
terminals, which maintains the 4-20 mA current loop
circuit even when power to the expansion module is
interrupted or off.
Important: Current Loop jumpers must be in the
Disabled (default) position for all UIs that are not set
up to operate as 4-20 mA analog inputs.
Important: A current loop jumper must be in the
Enabled position to maintain a closed 4-20 mA
current loop.
The following tables identify the current loop switches
associated with each UI on the XPM09090 and XPM04060
models.
