Operating Manual ProNumeric XCI 600 Version 07/16
1 Safety instructions
The term automation systems includes control units, their components
(modules), other parts (such as racks, cables), operator panels, and the
software used for programming, commissioning and operating the control
units. This Operating Manual can only describe a part of the automation
system (e.g. modules).
The technical design of SCHLEICHER automation systems is based on the
EN 61131-2 (IEC 61131-2) product standard for programmable logic
controllers. The systems and devices are generally subject to CE marking
according to EMC Directive 2004/108/EC and, where applicable, the Low
Voltage Directive 2006/95/EC.
The Machinery Directive 98/37/EC or 2006/42/EC is not applicable, because
the safety objectives of the directive are covered by the Low Voltage and
EMC Directives.
When SCHLEICHER automation systems are part of the electrical
equipment of a machine, the manufacturer must include them in the
conformity evaluation process. In this case the DIN EN 60204-1 norm must
be observed (safety of machines, general requirements for electrical
equipment of machines).
When an automation system is properly maintained and used for its intended
purpose, it will not normally cause damage to property or present health
hazards. However, improper configuration, installation, maintenance or
operation of the system or machine, ignoring the instructions in this manual,
or intervention by insufficiently qualified personnel may result in connected
actuators (such as motors, hydraulic units, etc.) becoming a source of
danger.
1.1 Intended Use
SCHLEICHER automation systems are state-of-the-art products and
manufactured to recognised safety requirements. All the same, their use can
cause danger to the health and safety of operators and others, or damage
machines, systems or other property.
The automation system must only be used in technically flawless condition
and in compliance with its intended purpose, with attention given to safety
and hazards, and adherence to the Operating Manual. Correct transport,
storage and installation, operation and maintenance of the system are all
prerequisites for smooth and safe operation of the control unit. Malfunctions,
in particular those which may affect safety, must be immediately resolved.
Automation systems are designed exclusively to control machines and
systems. Any other application beyond this is not in compliance with the
intended use. The manufacturer will therefore accept no liability for any
damages resulting from the incorrect use of the systems.
When using automation systems, all instructions given in this manual
regarding mechanical and electrical setup, commissioning and operation
must be adhered to.

1.2 Selection and Qualification of Personnel
Important!
All planning, programming, installation, commissioning, operation and
maintenance work in conjunction with the automation system must be
performed only by trained personnel (such as electricians or electrical
engineers).
Personnel responsible for configuring and programming the system
must be familiar with all safety-related issues in automation
technology.
System operators must be instructed on the operation of the control
system and be familiar with the relevant operating instructions.
All personnel responsible for installing, commissioning and
maintaining the system must have had appropriate training qualifying
them to work on automation systems.
1.3 Configuring, Programming, Installation, Commissioning and Operation
The automation system will in most cases be part of a larger system in which
machines are controlled. When configuring, installing and commissioning
automation systems to control machines, the machine manufacturer and the
user must observe the safety regulations as defined in the Machinery
Directive 2006/42/EC. For specific applications, national accident prevention
regulations such as in Germany BGV A3 shall apply.
All safety-related components of the controlled machine must be designed
such that they operate independently from the control system. Emergency
stop components must remain operative in all operating modes of the
controller. In an emergency stop, the power supply to all switching elements
controlled by the control system must be brought to a safe state.
Measures must be taken for restarting an interrupted control program
following voltage dips or power failures. Operating conditions should never
cause danger, not even for a short time. If necessary, an emergency stop
must be immediately triggered.
To ensure that an open-circuit on the signal side cannot cause undefined
conditions in the control system, corresponding safety precautions must be
taken for the I/O interfacing both on the hardware as well as the software
side. Control elements and their assigned control panel elements must be
installed in a place where they are sufficiently protected against inadvertent
use.

Operating Manual ProNumeric XCI 600 Version 07/16
1.4 Hazards due to Electrical Energy
Warning!
When the cabinet is opened or the housing is removed from system
components, certain parts of the automation system carrying
dangerously high voltages become accessible.
Switch off the voltage before working on the devices. Avoid short
circuits when measuring live components.
The user must prevent any unauthorised and improper access to the system
(for example, by ensuring that the switch cabinet is locked).
Personnel must be thoroughly familiar with all sources of danger, and meas-
ures for commissioning and maintaining the system must be in line with the
instructions given in this Operating Manual.
1.5 Maintenance
When it becomes necessary to perform measurement or tests on active
devices, this work must be performed in accordance with the regulations and
instructions of national accident prevention regulations such as in Germany
BGV A3. Appropriate power tools must be used.
Repairs on control components must be carried out by authorised repair
shops only. Opening the components and repairs by unauthorised personnel
may lead to personal injury or damage to property.
Always disconnect the device from the mains before opening it (either
disconnect the mains plug or use the cut-out switch).
1.6 Dealing with Used Batteries
When the batteries in the automation system are dead they must be
disposed of through a common battery return system or through appropriate
public waste disposal facilities.
Batteries should be fully discharged before they are returned. A battery is
discharged when the function of the device that it powers is impaired due to
insufficient battery capacity.
When batteries for disposal are not fully discharged, precautions must be
taken to prevent short circuits. For example by sticking adhesive tape over
the poles of the battery.

Drive "D" contains the Schleicher folder for the system files that are
necessary for real-time operation, plus Schleicher Tools (e.g. X-Manager,
Schleicher Dialog, Schleicher MFA).
Drive "E" has the setup files, which can be used to reinstall programs, if
necessary.
3.10 Operating systems
The XCI 600 controller incorporates a combination of VxWorks and Windows
Embedded as guest operating systems under the control of a parent (Type
1) real-time hypervisor application:
Figure 4: Type-1
hypervisor
The RTS real-time hypervisor takes over the exclusive allocation of
processor cores and memory areas for operating multiple mutually
independent operating systems. With the help of the hypervisor a separation
of almost 100% is achieved, and decoupled operation of the operating
systems is ensured.
Windows operates in virtualized mode. On the other hand, the VxWorks
operating system, crucial for PLC/CNC control, works without additional
restrictions and to ensure "hard" real-time in privileged mode.
The boot sequence is configurable, and it is possible to configure an
independent re-boot for an operating system. The parallel-running operating
systems communicate via shared memory resp. a network with virtual
network cards.
VxWorks takes over the real-time part, i.e. execution of the PLC, CNC
and motion control functionalities.
Without need for real-time requirements under defined system conditions,
Windows ensures straightforward functional extensibility (visualization /
operation / programming / application / networking).

(01): Power supply with 24V auxiliary
voltage
(02): 24 V power supply without
auxiliary voltage
The XCI 600 starts automatically when the supply voltage is applied (see
section 14). The controller can then be switched on and off by briefly
pressing the PC power button. In principle, it is possible at any time to hard
switch off the XCI 600 by disconnecting the supply voltage or by holding the
PC power button. The Enhanced Write Filter must be set to allow this.
The Enhanced Write Filter is a component in the Windows Embedded 8 PC
operating system. It serves to protect one or more partitions. (see: section
13.1.2)
