2. X11CA Hardware
The RONAN X11CA Computer Annunciator System with microprocessor based
electronics is assembled from basic 3.50 inch (88.90 mm) by 3.50 inch (88.90 mm)
modules to make up the overall size requirements and number of windows required.
The mechanical modules assembled from aluminum castings and extrusions provide
excellent heat dissipation for a continuously lit annunciator system and feature the
structural strength required in industrial applications.
The rear terminal is designed as a single piece molded plastic assembly per window
for durability. A small 4.00 inch (101.60 mm) wide x 6.00 inch (152.40 mm) deep x
1.00 inch (25.40 mm) high module (interface module) is provided to connect the
system to an external host.
2.1 X11CA Annunciator Display Modules
The X11CA Annunciator module allows field programmable selections of all
commonly used ISA sequences from a host computer.
The lamp display of each module can have single, dual, triple or quad alarm
channel alarm logic displays, and field contact polarity of each channel is selected
by setting the jumpers on the board.
2.1.1 Display and Name Plates
The colored nameplates can be supplied in five standard colors, (red, green,
amber, white, and blue) to distinguish such functions as fire alarm or shut
down…etc.
The Sandwich nameplates, an option exclusive to RONAN Visual Annunciator,
are generally supplied with white front lenses and colored back lenses. This
lens combination displays all windows white in non-lit status, changing to the
selected color in OFF normal condition. The Sandwich nameplates are for
lamps only.
Each lamp cell uses dual bulbs with 1 watt each, except Quadalarm.

2.1.6 Quadalarm Module: Part NO: X11CA-4000
The four windows Quadalarm Module represent the highest density of
annunciation in the X11CA series. The 1.40 inch (35.56 mm) high by 1.40
inch wide window is illuminated by two 1-watt lamps or LED indicators.

2.2.1 Power Sources
The external 24 VDC power is supplied to the V+ jumper connector J5 (pin
7,15) and to the V-jumper connector J5 (pin 8,16) on the PC board.
The voltage regulator, VR2, and two resistors, R59 and R63, on the board
reduce the voltage down to 5 VDC.
The electrolytic capacitor, C32, and two ceramic capacitors, C17 and C19,
keep the voltage constant for load variations and voltage transients.

2.2.2 Field Contact Inputs
Field contacts can be set as normally open or normally closed by setting
jumper switches (J11, J6, J7, and J8) either as NO or NC on each alarm
module.
•Dry contact –The system internal interrogation powered 24 Vdc.
•Live contact –0pto-isolated inputs. The opto-couplers, U1, U5, U7 and
U11, provide 2,500-volt isolation.
•24 Vdc, 48 Vdc, 125 Vdc or 115 Vac, 240 Vac
2.2.3 Micro controller (U2)
U2 is a Single-Chip 8-Bit Micro controller manufactured in advanced CMOS process
and is a derivative of the 80C51 flash micro controller family.
The device contains a non-volatile 32KB Flash program memory that is serial In
Application programmable. That means the micro controller fetches a new program
code and reprograms itself while the application is running in the system.
After the serial connection is made between the host computer and the X11-1047
Alarm module via the X11CA-IM (Refer to the Figure 2-17 X11CA-2000 Rear
Terminal Wiring Diagram), the X11CA configuration software on the host computer
uses IAP for the remote programming to erase and reprogram the content of the Flash
Memory. (For reprogramming the Micro controller see X11CA Software Manual).
It is synchronized by the clock generator (Y1) that generates 18,432 MHz oscillations.
2.2.4 Outputs
•Auxiliary Output Signals:
These signals provide open collector outputs to the energized relays on the
auxiliary modules, and it is programmable for various system functions.
•Transistor Output: Transistor output provides an open collector output
(pulling to V), and it is programmable for various system functions. A
typical application is to drive an auxiliary relay following the field contact
or lamp logic.
•Lamp Drivers (U3, U12, U13, U14): Lamp drivers are designed to operate
at 70V (1A) with over voltage, over temperature and short circuit
protection.

2.2.5 RS485 Network
The X11CA Annunciator uses a typical RS-485 four-wire multidrop
configuration system. All slave modules communicate with the master module,
X11CA IM only, and the address of each slave module is selectable by the
jumper, J9, using the binary code.
Jumper 9
Each X11CA module board must have a unique binary address to
communicate with the X11CA Configuration program and the X11CA-
IM. This address is determined by setting the jumper, J9.
Refer to the conversion table on page 40 to convert from 000000012to
1111 111110. Jumper 9 of Appendix B: Data Conversion (Bin to Dec)
Table shows the switch setting for 000000012.
The RS485 driver, U10, is used as a RS485 to TTL converter.
2.2.6 Input Response Time
The default response time of each point is 20 milliseconds, but it can be
modified using the X11CA operating software.

2.3 Auxiliary Contact Module: Part NO. X11-1049
The auxiliary contact module is available with a single, dual, triple, or quad relay
circuit, accommodating the window density selected. The modules can be plugged in
the front of the system and may be purchased initially or added later. The terminals
for the contact outputs are furnished as a part of the system. Each relay provides a
selectable form A or B type contact with a rating of 2A at 28 Vdc. Normally open
(Type A) or normally closed (Type B) contact is available for each alarm point at
their respective rear terminal block terminals 5 and 6. The normal operation (NO/NC)
can be changed on the auxiliary contact module at headers marked AUX1, AUX2,
AUX3, or AUX4.
WARNING:
Before setting up the X11CA system, make sure that power to the system is
completely off.
