INTRODUCTION
General
The XI882 operator interface, in the following simply named XI882, allows operating
controllers belonging to both the Excel 500 family (e.g. Excel 50/80/100/500//800)
and to the Excel Web family (XL1000C or later versions only).
XI882 automatically recognizes the connected controller type (Excel Web family or
Excel 500 family) and automatically starts the correct form of communication.
Fig. 1. XI882 operator interface
The XI882 is operated using the finger or the stylus provided as an accessory with
every device. You can navigate through the screens, selecting options and making
inputs by tapping with your finger or with the stylus.
When using the XI882 as the operator interface for an Excel Web controller, it will
display only the web pages of the Excel Web controller. When using it for an Excel
500 family controller, only the operation pages for the Excel 500 family will be
displayed.
Controller Models XI882 can communicate with Excel 500 family controllers and with Excel Web
controllers.
XI882 can operate the controller it is connected to, and any controller which is
connected on the same bus (bus-wide operation).
NOTE: The Excel 500 family of controllers must have up-to-date software that
includes the bus-wide access mode feature for XI882.
Bus-wide operation XL50 / 100 / 500 / 800
When operating on a LON-Bus in bus-wide mode, controllers and front-ends (EBI)
will be displayed in the bus-wide controller selection list box.
Upon selection of EBI, the Excel Touch generates an error message, and once this
error message is confirmed by the user, Excel Touch will fall-back to the local
controller home screen.

For Excel 500 family operation this can be done by calling up the configuration
screen after going online. See section “Configuration”
For Excel Web operation this can be done either in the start-up operation which
comes up after power is connected, or by calling up the configuration screen
after being online. See section “Configuration”

controller having the same controller number (assuming that both controllers do
not reside on the same C-Bus) you should delete the previously created fast
access lists of the first controller before connecting it to the new controller.
Otherwise XI882 will display the fast access lists referring to the old controller,
which will not match.
Memory sticks must be formatted before use in FAT (no FAT32)
EN2B-0615GE51 R0709 10
USER GUIDE XI882
USB Memory Device Use with XI882
NOTE: This section applies to Excel 500 Family Controllers only.
The XI882 has two USB ports for connecting a USB memory device to it in order to
upload/download applications, download firmware and import parameter files etc.
The USB memory device should have the directory structure as shown below. If this
structure is not present in the device, you have to create it using a PC.
Fig. 2. Directory Structure required in the memory device
The following folders should be present in the memory device:
ApplicationUploadFiles This folder is for uploading the application from the controller to the memory device.
Whenever an application is uploaded, it will be stored in this directory by default. If
you want to store the application in other directories, then you must create Subdirectories under this directory.
ApplicationDnloadFiles This folder is for downloading the application from the memory device to the
controller. It is recommended to create a sub-directory under this folder and copy all
files related to the specific controller application in it.
FirmwareDnloadFile This folder is for downloading firmware from the memory device into the controller.
You can create different folders for different firmware of different controllers under
this folder and store firmware files in the same.
ParameterFiles This folder is for importing the parameter information from parameter files of any
specific application. You should copy parameter files generated with CARE in this
directory and import the same in XI882.
11 EN2B-0615GE51 R0709
XI882 USER GUIDE
TrendFiles This folder is for storing the trending information on the memory device. All the data
recorded during trend recording process is directly stored on the memory device. It
is mandatory to have the USB memory device connected to the XI882 in order to
use trending functionality.

Startup Screens
Powering up XI882 On successfully powering up XI882 (for connections, see XI882 mounting
instructions MU1B-0387GE51, the XI882 MMI will display the Honeywell logo on the
screen as shown below. This screen will appear for approximately 20 sec.
Fig. 3. Startup screen with Honeywell logo
Next, the XI882 will try to detect the Excel 500 family controller and Excel Web
controller. In case of the Excel Web controller, XI882 will try to find the Excel Web
controller by pinging the previously stored IP address of the Excel Web controller.
During this time, it will show the auto detection message as shown below. This
screen has a time-out of 1 min.

Depending on the detection of the controller connected to the XI882, there are two
possible Excel Web scenarios:
Case A: The XI882 detects the Excel Web controller.
Case B: The XI882 does not detect the Excel Web controller.
Case A (Excel Web is detected) Upon successful detection of an Excel Web controller by the XI882, the screen
below will be displayed. When tapping the Set up button, you will be able to do the
Interface-related settings as well as to set the Excel Web IP address. This screen
has a time-out of 20 sec, so if you do not select any of the options, the screen will be

Configure XI882 for Excel 500 Family Controllers
If XI882 detects both an Excel 500 family controller and an Excel Web controller, or
if XI882 does not detect any controller, the screen below is displayed. You can
select any mode of operation.
Fig. 20. Startup screen when both controllers/ no controllers are available
In order to operate an Excel 500 family controller, make sure,
– that the correct serial cable (XW585 or XW885) is connected both to
XI882 and to the controller
– that the controller is powered up, running and operational with a loaded
application.
– that in case a common transformer is used for XI882 and the
controller(s), 24VAC and zero (signal ground) are not mixed up!! If this is
the case, the serial cable will create a ground loop and a short circuit,
which will result in a powerless XI882 (black display).
