INTRODUCTION
XI581/XI582 BUSWIDE OPERATOR INTERFACE
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 modelsExcel 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.
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.
PurposeThis manual explains how to connect and operate the XI581/XI582.
OrganizationThis manual is divided into the following sections, including this introductory section.
The Introduction section briefly describes the XI581/XI582 and highlights
similarities and differences between the two operator terminal models.
The Getting Started section describes:
• XI582 connection to an Excel controller. (The XI581 is mounted directly on an
Excel controller at installation time.)
• Buswide access mode.
• Display area description and keypad operations.
• Password access levels that determine whether you can view and/or modify
information using the XI581/XI582.
The Everyday Operations section explains tasks that you might perform daily or
weekly.
The Alphabetic Reference section explains tasks that you do not perform regularly
or in any particular order. The tasks are arranged alphabetically for easy lookup.
Appendix A: Hardware Setup describes how to route the cable for an XI582 that
does not mount on the wall or an Excel controller.
The Index provides page number references to topics.

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
• Excel 500 and 600 Controllers have the serial port connection at the top of the
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.

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.

buswide access mode software. Table 2 specifies the versions capable of the
buswide access mode.
EN2B-0126GE51 R0309 6
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).

To access a remote controller, you must first log in to the controller. Once you are
logged into the remote controller, operation is almost the same as operating a local
controller. The menu structure used for operation is always that of the remote controller.

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 versionsSome 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.

Buswide alarmsThe 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.
PerformanceOnly 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.

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
PasswordsTo 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
Access level 3 Access level 3 allows you to perform all tasks accessible to level-1 and level-2

• 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 sectionThis 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 controllerWhen 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.

• Level 2/3 password entry to enter a password if level-2 or level-3 functions are
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
PurposeTo sign on to an XI581/XI582 connected to a controller.
Procedure1. 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 operators2.
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
move to and highlight the item and then press Enter (↵).
RESULT: XI581/XI582 asks for your password. The display window shows four
Password entry3. Press Enter (↵) to select the password field (four asterisks).
— The display window shows a 5 as the first, left-most digit of the password
field.
— If the first digit of your password is higher than 5, press the plus key (or the
up arrow key) until the first digit of your password is correct.
— If the first digit of your password is lower than 5, press the minus key (or the
down arrow key) until the first digit of your password is correct.
— Use the right arrow key to move the cursor to the second digit. Notice that
the first digit becomes an asterisk again to maintain password privacy.
Repeat this procedure until you have correctly input all digits in the password
field.
If you incorrectly input a digit, press Cancel (C) to start over again with the first,
left-most digit.
Once the password is input, press Enter (↵) to complete password entry. If the
password is incorrect, software re-prompts for password entry.
RESULT: If you correctly enter a password, the word Next will be displayed.
For level-3 operators, the word 'Change' will also be displayed to
allow you to change the password. See the "Passwords" section for
the procedure to change a password.

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.
