2.1 General
The TAC Xenta 511 is a device that is used as a web-based presentation
system for LONWORKS® networks. Using a standard web browser, the
operator can easily view and control the devices in the LONWORKS net-
work via the Internet or a local intranet.
The TAC Xenta 511 can also (at the same time) act as a LONTALK®
adapter between TAC Vista® and a LONWORKS network.
2.2 Hardware Installation
The TAC Xenta 511 is cabinet-mounted on a TS 35 mm norm rail
EN 50022.
Keep the unit dry and clean it externally using a dry cloth.
2.3 Connection and Startup
Sections 2.3.1 through 2.3.4 are mandatory for establishing web
browser contact with the TAC Xenta 511.

2Decide on a LONWORKS strategy:
Variable binding: use an LNS Tool (e.g. LonMaker).
Non-variable binding: Use TAC Vista.
3Create an application for the web-based presentation system using
TAC XBuilder as described in the Engineering TAC Xenta 511
manual.
2.3.6 Using the TAC Xenta 511 as an LTA
In addition to its web-based presentation, the TAC Xenta 511 can be
used as an LTA, LONTALK Adapter, between TAC Vista and the LON-
WORKS network.
Connections - LTA
Cables
IP network to 511: Ethernet cable to 10Base-T socket.
LonWorks to 511: Twisted Pair to terminals C1 and C2.
