EXCEL 100/500/600 – SYSTEM OVERVIEW
THE EXCEL 100/500/600 SYSTEM
Excel 100/500/600Excel 100/500/600 is a freely programmable control and monitoring system for
building applications.
In addition to control applications for heating, ventilation and air conditioning, Excel
100/500/600 also performs energy management functions such as optimum
start/stop, night purge, maximum load demand, and many others.

ONWORKS® network with Excel 10 and Excel 50 controllers, other Excel 500
controllers and their Distributed I/O modules, and third-party L
ONWORKS devices and
centrals. The Excel 500 provides the following unique benefits:
Automatic binding of Excel 500 controllers and Honeywell I/O modules. This
saves engineering time and cost over usual network variable (NV) binding. In
addition, this saves on Echelon® node royalty fees.
512 NVs supported for integration and interoperation with other devices on the
L
ONWORKS network.
NV-Booster® functionality avoids multiple NVs with many-to-one bindings and
thus reduces the number of Excel 500 controllers needed.
All binding information from and to the Excel 500 controller can be saved in
Flash memory or uploaded together with the application and restored after power
failure. This also allows exchange of controller hardware without redoing the
complete binding.
The Excel 500 controller allows conversion of NV types which increases flexibility
and interoperability on a L

ONMARK association-compliant devices, and are thus
configurable digital and analog inputs and outputs and can be installed at strategic
locations throughout buildings.

The User Programs
Free selection of applications The Excel 100/500/600 receives its user programs in three different ways:
Permanent applications from EPROM With the selection of the applications for the EPROM, the user program is
assembled from permanently programmed functions when starting the system for
the first time – no further programming tools are necessary. With Flash-EPROM,
applications can be stored restored via the operator interface.
Configurable applications With the CARE engineering system, standard applications for heating, ventilation
and air conditioning technology can be assembled and extended as desired.
No programming experience neededWith free program preparation using CARE, the user program is generated auto-
matically after graphical preparation of the system schematic diagram, the
instrumentation and control strategies.

digital technology. The Excel 500 System is freely programmable and can be used as
a stand-alone controller or as part of a network of up to 30 controllers connected via a
C-bus (9.6 Kbaud up to 76.8 Kbaud) or as part of an open L
ONWORKS network.
The Excel 500 System provides energy management and control functions in
Honeywell C-Bus networks or in L
ONWORKS networks. In the case of a Honeywell C-
Bus network, up to 16 Distributed I/O modules with up to 128 inputs and outputs can
be connected. A maximum of 10 modules of the same type is allowed per system. In
the case of a L
ONWORKS network, the maximum number of Distributed I/O modules is
determined by the number of NVs needed for interoperation. In a typical case, 190
physical inputs and outputs can be controlled per Excel 500.
Applications for the Excel 500 can be programmed during CARE engineering and then

Memory is buffered by a gold capacitor and will be supported for approximately 72
hours in case of a power failure.
The XCL5010 controller comprises an internal power supply and allows the connection
of CPU and I/O modules to the same transformer (shared transformer).
00000124
An external MMI, modem, or ISDN adapter can be connected to the controller’s serial
port.
The Communication Module provides ports for C-bus and L
ONWORKS bus connection,
as well as LEDs for indicating the controller's operational status, transmit status, and
receive status.
The Excel 500/600 Internal Modules (not XCL5010)
The Excel 500/600 system with internal modules is comprised of the XC5010C
(Excel 500) or XC6010 (Excel 600) computer modules for freely programmable
applications, the power supply module XP501 or XP502 with an external transformer
as well as a range of input and output modules.
Clear functional allocationThe internal input and output modules are:
Analog input modules XF521A / XF526
Analog output modules XF522A / XF527
Digital input modules XF523A / XF528
Digital output modules XF524A / XF529
Three-position output module XF525A
One important functional characteristic of the output modules XF522A, XF524A and
XF525A is the integral manual override facility to switch equipment and position
actuators directly from the module. The output modules XF527 and XF529 are
equipment variants without manual override switches. The status of the inputs and
outputs is shown by LEDs.
An Excel 500/600 can consist of 16 input and output modules providing a total of
128 points. The system can be expanded by connecting additional controllers if the
number of inputs and outputs is insufficient for a particular application. Communication is performed via the system bus.
In general, the maximum system bus length is 1200 meters. However, a bus
repeater (XD509) is available to exceed this limit.

Distributed I/O Modules
Distributed I/O modules are LONMARK -approved and can therefore be used in a
L
ONWORKS network independently of an Excel 500 controller. See Distributed I/O
Modules Product Data (EN0B-0090GE51) for more information.
Distributed I/O modules can be operated with Excel 500 controllers in C-Bus networks
or in L
ONWORKS networks.
In C-Bus networks, it is possible to control up to a maximum of 16 I/O Distributed I/O
modules. For the XC5010C, this means 16 total modules are supported, including both
internal and distributed. The XCL5010 supports only Distributed I/O modules.
In L
ONWORKS networks, the maximum number of Distributed I/O modules to be used by
a controller is determined by the number of NVs to be used for communication and
interoperation. In a typical case, 190 physical inputs and outputs can be controlled per
Excel 500.
The XFL521, 522, 523, and 524 modules are digital and analog I/O modules that can
be installed at strategic locations within a building. As part of the EXCEL 5000 system,
these modules convert sensor readings and provide output signals used for operating
actuators.
The input and output modules are:
Analog input module XFL521B
Analog output module XFL522B
Digital input module XFL523B
Digital output module XFL524B
Each I/O module plugs into a base terminal block allowing communication with the CPU
via the built-in L
Distributed I/O modules is connected to the L
module. The modular system allows I/O modules to be removed from the system
without disturbing the other modules.
A power LED (L1) and a service LED (L2) are located on each module. L2 indicates the
current state of the bus node. ON indicates that the node has no application loaded,
BLINKING indicates that the node has an application but has not yet been configured,
and OFF indicates loaded application and configured.

Time Programs
Simple and flexible time programsThe daily programs must first be defined before a time program can be created. A
daily program is assigned to each weekday in the weekly program. This weekly
program is automatically copied for every week in the annual program. Exceptions
can be defined for any number of days by replacing the daily program directly in the
annual program.
Automatic summer/winter changeover The beginning and end of daylight savings time can be stored to automate the
changeover from daylight savings time to standard time. The changeover is then
performed automatically on the appropriate days.
System Texts
Flexible text files The text files are stored in the controller.
Installation and Commissioning
Freely programmable When the application program for a freely programmable application is generated
application programs during CARE engineering, the complete documentation for the system and the
wiring diagram are generated automatically.
Protection against program lossThe application program can be either loaded into the RAM of the computer module
from disk or stored in the computer module’s Flash-EPROM.
User friendly service levelThe various operating levels can be accessed by means of passwords.
In operator level 3, "read and make changes", all inputs and outputs can be queried,
set, or simulated. The current status of each input and output can be queried. All
relay outputs can be activated or deactivated. Analog outputs can be set to a value
between 0 and 100%. In order to simulate operating conditions, each digital input
can be commanded ON or OFF and each analog input can be assigned a value
between 0 and 100%.
This service level is useful for both commissioning and servicing.

REMOTE COMMUNICATION
There are several possibilities for communication of alarms, trending information,
and system data points to a remote building supervisor via modem.
Excel 100C / Excel 500 Excel 500 controllers with firmware version 2.1.x and higher and Excel 100C
controllers can have a modem or ISDN terminal adapter connected directly to their
serial port. This allows communication with an EBI/SymmetrE building supervisor at
data transmission rates of up to 38.4 Kbaud.
The Excel 100C or Excel 500 controller connected to the modem/ISDN terminal
adapter may function as a normal building controller, but it has a buffer that can
store up to 100 trend samples.

Program generation without The CARE engineering system is a software package that enables an application
programming knowledge program to be generated, which may be loaded and executed without any prior
programming knowledge.
Control strategy using CAREHeating, ventilating and air conditioning systems are designed from pre-prepared
individual diagrams using a menu driven system. The system is designed on the
screen, and the control strategies and switching tables can be defined using
graphical symbols.
In addition to the CARE engineering system’s main function of designing the system
diagram with the appropriate control strategies and automatic generation of the
application program, it can also generate time programs and system texts.
