XI581/XI582 BUSWIDE OPERATOR INTERFACE

INTRODUCTION

The XI581/XI582 Buswide Operator Interface allows you to view and change basic information programmed into an Excel controller. The controller information you can change depends on your security access level and is always restricted to basic information that controls day-to-day controller operation. To make major database changes, you must use the XL-Online Operator and Service Software or Honeywell’s Excel CARE software application programming tool.

Controller models Excel controller models you can directly access include the 50, 100, 500, 500-XCL5010 (with XI582, only), 600, and 800. You can also indirectly access the following controllers:

Excel 10 Controllers via XI581/XI582 hookup to an Excel 10 Zone Manager Controller

Excel 20 Controllers via XI581/XI582 hookup to an Excel 500 or 600 Controller

In addition, the XI581/XI582 can operate in the buswide access mode, which permits communication with remote controllers. Remote controllers can be any Excel controller that connects to the same C-bus as the Excel controller to which the XI581/XI582 is connected.

NOTE: The Excel controllers must have up-to-date software that includes the buswide access mode feature. The "GETTING STARTED" section describes buswide operation and restrictions.

XI581/XI582 differences The XI581 (Fig. 1) and XI582 (Fig. 2) look and operate very much alike. The difference is that the XI581 mounts directly on the front of an Excel 500 or 600 Controller, while the XI582 is a desktop unit that you can place up to 50 ft. (15 m) away from an Excel controller or mount on a wall.

NOTE: Since they cannot be connected to a controller-mounted operator terminal, the Excel 500-XCL5010 and the Excel 800-XCL8010A are operable only with the XI582.

Connection Options

Connecting the XI581

The XI581 mounts on the front of an Excel 500-XC5010x and Excel 600-XC6010

 

 

Controller at installation time and requires no further connection. When the

 

 

controller is powered, the XI581 is also powered. If the controller is off and then

 

 

powered on, the XI581 displays a message about the power failure. Use the Cancel

 

 

key (C) to acknowledge the message. The next screen is the main menu. See

 

 

"Screen Displays" (page 9) for details.

 

 

 

Connecting the XI582

The XI582 requires the connection and routing of an appropriate cable (see Table

 

 

1). If your XI582 does not already have a connected cable, see Appendix A:

 

 

Hardware Setup, and Excel 500 Installation Instructions (EN1R-1047GE51) or Excel

GETTING STARTED

XI581/XI582 BUSWIDE OPERATOR INTERFACE

When the operator terminal has a connected cable, you can move it to any controller and attach it. If the controller has buswide capability, you can leave the XI582 attached to it and then access other controllers on the bus via remote login.

For information about connecting to various controllers, see below. After connection, see "Screen Displays" (page 9) for details on XI582 screen displays.

Excel 100C Controllers have a RS232 serial port connection at the bottom of the device as shown in the following diagram. An additional serial port connection is provided at the terminals on the base of the Excel 100C. A port selector switch is located on the front to select front or rear port (see below).

IMPORTANT

It is imperative that the Excel 100C Controller’s port selector switch be properly set. Thus, after having operated an MMI via the front port, the switch has to be set back to its left position to reactivate a modem being connected to the rear terminals. If the switch is set to “front port“, the rear terminals are deactivated, and vice versa.

Excel 500 and 600 Controllers have the serial port connection at the top of the controller as shown in the following diagram.

Buswide Access Mode

The buswide access mode allows communication between an XI581/XI582 and an Excel controller that is not directly connected to the XI581/XI582. Communication can include reading from and writing to the remote controller as well as receiving alarm status information.

For example, an XI581/XI582 attached to an Excel 500 Controller can log in to an Excel 100 Controller connected to the same system bus as the Excel 500 Controller.

XI581/XI582 BUSWIDE OPERATOR INTERFACE

GETTING STARTED

There are two buswide access modes (active and passive) for controllers that have this capability.

With active buswide access, a controller (for example, Controller A) can access another controller (Controller B) on the same bus if Controller B has at least passive access.

With only passive buswide access mode, a controller (for example, Controller B) cannot access another controller (Controller A) on the same bus. However, since Controller B has at least the passive buswide access mode, Controller B can be accessed by another controller that has the active buswide access mode (in this case, Controller A).

You cannot perform the following tasks while in the buswide access mode:

Set the controller number.

Set the communication baud rate.

Start up a new controller.

Controller versions Some controller models (mainly older versions) do not support buswide functionality or support passive buswide functionality only after installation of a Firmware EPROM upgrade kit. Please contact your local branch or affiliate for further information on EPROM upgrade kits.

The controllers then support full buswide functionality, i.e. passive and active buswide access. Excel 800 controllers support this with any firmware version, starting with 3.00.xx.

2Excel 100/500/600 Controllers running under Firmware EPROM Version Excel 500 Version 1.01 must be equipped with the Excel 1.01 upgrade kit for the buswide access mode. They then support the passive buswide access mode. However, Version 1.01 Controllers do not support the active buswide access mode.

3Excel 800 controllers support this with any firmware version, starting with 3.00.xx.

Buswide alarms The XI581/XI582 does not directly report buswide alarms on screen, but you can set it to an “alarm standby” mode where it listens to the system bus and then reports the occurrence of a new alarm somewhere on the system bus. In a separate screen, you can view the contents of the alarm buffer which will tell you where on the system bus the new alarm has occurred. You can then log in to the appropriate controller and look in the alarm buffer of the remote controller to find the cause of the alarm.

To enable the buswide alarm flag, set the XI581/XI582 to Alarm Standby Flag mode in the 'Buswide Access' screen. To enable receiving of buswide alarms, set the XI581/XI582 to 'Alarm Standby On'. The "Alarm Information" section describes these options.

When alarm standby is on and the alarm flag enabled, a screen symbol starts flashing as soon as a new buswide alarm arrives from somewhere on the system bus.

NOTE: Local alarms will not show when you are logged in to a remote controller.

The reading of a buswide alarm from an XI581/XI582 is independent of the XBS/XBS-i/XFI/EBI mechanism for alarm acknowledgment.

Performance Only one buswide XI581/XI582 (local or remote) can be logged onto a controller at any one time. However, there is no restriction as to the total number of buswide XI581/XI582 used on the same system bus. When XBS PCs are also on the bus, there may be up to four XBS PCs on the same bus and one buswide XI581/XI582 that is in remote access at the same time.

All XI581/XI582 are of equal priority, so that whichever device signs on first gains access to a controller and no other device (local or remote) can sign on to the same controller during this time.

GETTING STARTED

Screen Displays

Initial screen displays depend on the status of the controller and its pending alarms.

Powered controller After you plug an XI582 into a powered controller, the main menu appears in the display window.

An XI581 that is always attached to a controller typically displays the main menu unless an operator has penetrated to some other menu.

Controller power-on The first display screen that appears after power-on is a message about the power failure. Use the Cancel key (C) to acknowledge the message. The main menu is displayed.

CPU reset If you press the controller's CPU reset switch, the controller restarts and the XI581/XI582 displays the 'title/copyright' screen.

Memory Cleared

If you push the CPU reset switch, everything in the controller is deleted. Use the CPU reset switch only for servicing.

To reload the controller, follow the download procedure as explained in the Flash EPROM and RAM Management procedures (in the "ALPHABETIC REFERENCE" section). If the controller does not have Flash EPROM, use Excel CARE software to download the controller.

Adjusting contrast The contrast of the display can be adjusted, using a screwdriver, by rotating the corresponding knob accessible through a hole at the rear of the device. Pressing any of the eight operating keys activates the backlight. If no entries are made for approximately ten minutes, the backlight turns itself off automatically until a key is pressed again.

Operation The rest of this section describes the XI581/XI582 display area and its access levels. If you are familiar with this information, continue with the sign-on procedure in the "Local and Remote Sign-On and Sign-Off " section.

Point order in lists Points are listed according to hardware type. In other words, all analog points appear first, followed by digital points, and finally totalizer points.

Display of "****" The string "****" means that no value is available.

Operator Access Levels

There are three access levels that control operator access to XI581/XI582 information. The access levels determine the information an operator can view and which tasks an operator can perform.

Access level 1 Access level 1 is available to all operators and does not require a password. At level 1, you can view some, but not all, of the information programmed into the controller. You cannot modify any data. Specifically, access level 1 allows you to view the following:

Time program information

Point descriptions

System clock

Trend log

Alarm information

Buswide information

Passwords To operate at level 2 or 3, an operator must enter a password. Passwords are four numerical characters and are controlled by the site administrator. The "Level 2/3 Password Entry" section explains how to enter your password.

Access level 2 Access level 2 allows you to view all information accessible to level-1 operators. In addition, you can modify time programs, set the system clock, and view totalizer information. You can also view and modify information in other controllers on the same system bus.

Access level 3 Access level 3 allows you to perform all tasks accessible to level-1 and level-2 operators. In addition, you can:

Modify point descriptions

Reset totalizers

Modify parameters

Change setpoints

This access level should be reserved for only those users who are responsible and competent in HVAC engineering, such as a commissioning engineer. This is to avoid incorrect operation of the plant. This access level is required for setting the access levels of the other users.

XI581/XI582 BUSWIDE OPERATOR INTERFACE

EVERYDAY OPERATIONS

About this section This section details steps for common everyday procedures. The procedures are grouped by common functions as follows.

Local and Remote Sign-on and Sign-off

Level-2 and level-3 password entry

Logging into a remote controller

Logging off from a remote controller

Signing off from a controller (local or remote)

Alarm Information

Viewing alarm information

Viewing buswide alarms

Enabling/disabling the buswide alarm mode and alarm flag

Acknowledging the buswide alarm flag

Viewing point information

Reviewing time program schedules

Requesting a trend log in tabular or graphic format

Listing status of totalizer points

Controller information

Reading controller date and time

Viewing controller configuration data

All these procedures, except listing totalizer status, are level-1 operator tasks. The totalizer function is a level-2 or level-3 operator task.

Any procedures requiring access to a remote controller require log-in to that controller.

Point vs. data point Note that XI581/XI582 refers to points as “data points”. This document uses the term “point” except when the expression “data point” appears in XI581/XI582 screen displays. EXCEL 5000™ literature generally uses the term “points”. The terms have the same meaning.

See also the "ALPHABETIC REFERENCE" section (page 49) for other procedures that you may use less frequently.

Local and Remote Sign-On and Sign-Off

Because the XI581/XI582 is powered whenever the controller it is connected to is powered, there is no “sign-on” and “sign-off” as for other types of operator terminals. Typically, when you plug an XI582 into a powered controller, the main menu will be displayed and you can begin selecting level-1 functions. Alternatively, you can enter a password to obtain access to level-2 or level-3 functions.

The following are descriptions of the types of screen displays that occur depending on the status of the controller (powered or reset) and its alarms.

Powered controller When you plug an XI582 into a powered controller, the main menu appears in the display window.

A XI581 that is always attached to a controller typically displays the main menu unless an operator has penetrated to some other menu. You can press Cancel (C) repeatedly until the main menu is displayed.

required

 

• Logging into a remote controller to gain access to a controller that is not directly

 

connected to the XI581/XI582

 

• Logging off from a remote controller to disconnect from a remote controller that

 

you previously logged into

 

• Signing off from a controller (local or remote) to return to the level-1 main menu.

 

 

Level 2/3 Password Entry

Purpose

To sign on to an XI581/XI582 connected to a controller.

Procedure

1. After the XI581/XI582 is connected to a controller, the main menu automatically

 

appears in the display window unless the controller is reset and needs to be

 

downloaded. If the controller needs to be downloaded, the 'title/copyright' screen

 

will be displayed.

 

NOTE:

If the main menu does not appear, press Cancel (C) until it does.

 

RESULT: The main menu appears and lists information that level-1, -2, and -3

 

 

operators can view. The word Password is highlighted as the default

 

 

selection.

Level-2 and -3 operators

2. Level-2 and level-3 operators do not have to enter a password to perform a

 

level-1 task. However, to perform a level-2 or level-3 task, you must enter a

 

password using the 'Password' function. Press Enter ( ) to select the 'Password'

 

function.

 

 

NOTE:

If the 'Password' function is not highlighted, use the arrow keys to

XI581/XI582 BUSWIDE OPERATOR INTERFACE EVERYDAY OPERATIONS

 

Logging into a Remote Controller

Purpose

To initiate communication with a remote controller.

Performance

Only one buswide XI581/XI582 (local or remote) can be logged onto a controller at

 

any one time. However, there is no restriction as to the total number of buswide

 

XI581/XI582 used on the same system bus. When XBS PCs are also on the bus,

 

there may be up to four XBS PCs on the same bus and one buswide XI581/XI582

 

that is in remote access at the same time.

 

All XI581/XI582 Operator Terminals are of equal priority, so that whichever device

 

signs on first gains access to a controller and no other device (local or remote) can

 

sign on to the same controller during this time.

Procedure

1. Sign on to the XI581/XI582 at the desired user level (1, 2, or 3). See section

 

"Level 2/3 Password Entry" (page 17) if you do not know how.

 

2. At the main menu, use the arrow keys to move to and highlight System Data.

 

Then press Enter ( ) to complete the selection.

 

RESULT: The display window shows system data, including the 'Buswide

 

Access' option. In the following example, note that the local controller

 

is CONTROLLER_01.
