3.6 Factors Affecting Panel Layout Design and Clearances
Warning: It is important to follow the requirements of the panel manufacturer and to follow
all applicable electrical codes and standards.
The designer of a panel layout needs to assess the requirements of a particular system and to consider
the following design factors.
3.6.1 Clearance / Adequate Space
Install devices to allow sufficient clearance to open and close the panel door.
Table 3.1 – Minimum Clearance Requirements for Panel Box and Door
Minimum Distance between base of device and
sides of cabinet
Minimum Distance between base of device and
wiring ducts
If more than one device installed in panel box (or on
door):
Minimum Distance between bases of each device
4 inches between bases of each device
2 inches (50.80mm)
1.5 inches (38.10mm)
(101.60mm)
When door is closed:
Minimum distance between device and closed door
2 inches (50.80mm)
(Be sure to allow enough depth for the XL6 OCS.)
3.6.2 Grounding
Warning: Be sure to meet the ground requirements of the panel manufacturer and also meet
applicable electrical codes and standards.
Panel box
: The panel box needs to be properly connected to earth ground to provide a good
common ground reference.
Panel door
: Tie a low impedance ground strap between the panel box and the panel door to
ensure that they have the same ground reference.
3.6.3 Temperature / Ventilation
Ensure that the panel layout design allows for adequate ventilation and maintains the specified
ambient temperature range. Consider the impact on the design of the panel layout if operating at
the extreme ends of the ambient temperature range. For example, if it is determined that a
cooling device is required, allow adequate space and clearances for the device in the panel box
or on the panel door.
March 4, 2010 Page 20 of 135 #1037
MAN0883-05-EN CH.3
3.6.4 Orientation
When panel-mounted, there are no orientation restrictions on the XL6/XL6e OCS.
3.6.5 Noise
Consider the impact on the panel layout design and clearance requirements if noise suppression
devices are needed. Be sure to maintain an adequate distance between the XL6/XL6e OCS and
noisy devices such as relays, motor starters, etc.
3.6.6 Shock and Vibration
The XL6 OCS has been designed to operate in typical industrial environments that may inflict
some shock and vibration on the unit. For applications that may inflict excessive shock and
vibration please use proper dampening techniques or relocate the XL6/XL6e OCS to a location
that minimizes shock and/or vibration.
3.6.7 Panel Layout Design and Clearance Checklist
The following list provides highlights of panel layout design factors:
____Meets the electrical code and applicable standards for prope r grounding, etc.?
____Meets the panel manufacturer’s requirements for grounding, etc.?
____Is the panel box properly connected to earth ground? Is the panel door properly grounded? Has the
appropriate procedure been followed to properly ground the devices
in the panel box and on the
panel door?
____Are minimum clearance requirements met? Can the panel door be easily opened and closed? Is
there adequate space between device bases as well as the sides of the panel and wiring ducts?
____Is the panel box deep enough to accommodate the XL6/XL6e OCS?
____Is there adequate ventilation? Is the ambient temperature range maintained? Are cooling or heating
devices required?
____Are noise suppression devices or isolation transformers required? Is there adequate distance
between the base of the XL6/XL6e OCS and noisy devices such as relays or motor starters? Ensure
that power and signal wires are not
routed in the same conduit.
____Are there other requirements that impact the particular system, which need to be considered?

4.1 Grounding Definition
Ground: The term Ground is defined as a conductive connection between a circuit or piece of equipment
and the earth. Grounds are fundamentally used to protect an application from harmful interference
causing either physical damage such as by lightning or voltage transients or from circuit disruption often
caused by radio frequency interference (RFI).
4.2 Ground Specifications
Ideally, a ground resistance measurement from equipment to earth ground is 0 ohms. In reality it typically
is higher. The U.S. National Electrical Code (NEC) states the resistance to ground shall not
twenty-five (25) ohms. Horner APG recommends less than
fifteen (15) ohms resistance from our
equipment to ground. Resistance greater than twenty-five (25) ohms can cause undesirable or harmful
interference to the device.
4.3 How to Test for Good Ground
In order to test ground resistance, a Ground Resistance Tester must be used. A typical Ground
Resistance Meter Kit contains a meter, two or three wire leads, and two ground rods. Instructions are
supplied for either a two-point or three-point ground test.
Figure 4.1 shows a two-point ground connection test.

CHAPTER 5: SERIAL COMMUNICATIONS
5.1 Overview
All XL6/XL6M/XL6e OCS models provide two serial ports, which are implemented with 8-pin modular
RJ45 connectors, and are labeled MJ1 and MJ2. The MJ1 serial port is normally used (although MJ2 can
also be used) for XL6/XL6M/XL6e OCS programming by connecting it to the COM port of a PC running
Cscape. In addition, both MJ1 and MJ2 can be used for application-specific communication, using a
variety of standard data exchange protocols.
5.2 Port Descriptions
The MJ1 serial port contains both a half-duplex RS-485 interface and an RS-232 interface with RTS/CTS
handshaking. Note: MJ1 shares its serial port with the optional COM module, so when an optional Ethernet or Modem COM module is installed and active, the MJ1 connector is inactive.
The MJ2 serial port contains both a full-duplex RS-485 interface and an RS-232 interface with no
handshaking. Both the MJ1 and MJ2 RS-485 interfaces provide switchable termination and bias resistors
internally.

r
The DIP Switches are used fo
termination of the RS-485 ports. The
XL6 is shipped un-terminated.
To terminate, select one of the DIP
Switches and configure it based upon
the option that is desired.
SW1 - ON enables MJ2 RS485 port
termination (121 Ohms).
OFF disables MJ2 RS485 port
termination.
SW2 & SW3 - ON places MJ2 RS485 port in
half-duplex mode.
OFF places MJ2 RS485 port in full-
duplex mode.
SW4 - ON enables MJ1 RS485 port
termination (121 Ohms).
OFF disables MJ1 RS485 port
termination.
5.4 RS-485 Termination
Proper RS-485 termination minimizes reflections and improves reliability.
Both serial ports allow an internal RS-485 termination resistor to be placed across pins 1 and 2 by DIP
Switch Setting.
the two devices physically located at the endpoints of the RS-485 network should be terminated.
Only
5.5 RS-485 Biasing
RS-485 biasing passively asserts a line-idle state when no device is actively transmitting, which is useful
for multi-drop RS-485 networking.
Both serial ports allow internal RS-485 bias resistors to be switched in, pulling pin 1 up to 3.3V and pulling
pin 2 down to ground. The Set Serial Ports item in the System Menu can be used to enable RS-485
biasing. Also, an application graphics screen that writes to %SR164 can do the same thing. Setting
%SR164.1 enables MJ1 biasing and setting %SR164.2 enables MJ2 biasing.
If biasing is used, it should be enabled in only one of the devices attached to the RS-485 network.
5.6 Cscape Programming via Serial Port
The XL6/XL6e OCS MJ1 serial port supports CsCAN Programming Protocol, but MJ2 does not. If a PC
COM port is connected to the XL6/XL6e OCS MJ1 serial port, Cscape can access the XL6/XL6e OCS for
programming and monitoring.
5.7 Ladder-Controlled Serial Communication
Using Serial Communication function blocks, both MJ1 and MJ2 support Generic, Modbus Master and
Modbus Slave Protocols. In addition, external modems can be connected and accessed using Init, Dial
and Answer Modem function blocks.
5.8 Downloadable Serial Communication Protocols
Both MJ1 and MJ2 also support downloadable protocols, such as Allen Bradley DF1, CsCAN Master, GE
Fanuc SNP and Modbus Master.

6.1 Overview
All XL6/XL6M/XL6e OCS models provide a CAN networking port, which is implemented with a 5-pin
connector. The connector is labeled NET1.
MAN0799) on our website.
Figure 6.1 – NET 1 Connector
Like the MJ1 serial port, the NET1 port can be used for XL6/XL6e OCS programming by connecting it to
the CAN port of a PC running Cscape. The NET1 port also allows the XL6/XL6e OCS to exchange global
data with other OCS/RCS controllers and to access remote Network I/O devices (SmartStix Modules).
6.2 Port Description
The XL6/XL6e OCS NET1 port implements the ISO 11898-2 physical layer and the CAN 2.0A data link
layer standards. Also, since the NET1 port is powered by an internal isolated power supply, external
CAN power is not required.

6.4 Cscape Programming via CAN
The NET1 port supports CsCAN Programming Protocol. If a PC has a CAN interface installed (via PCI
card or USB), and the PC CAN port is connected to the XL6/XL6e OCS NET1 port, Cscape can access
the XL6/XL6e OCS for programming and monitoring.
In addition, the XL6/XL6e OCS supports single-point-programming of all XL6/XL6e OCS and other
OCS/RCS devices that are connected to a CAN network. If the PC COM port is connected to the
XL6/XL6e OCS MJ1 serial port, the XL6/XL6e OCS can act as a pass-through gateway allowing Cscape
to access all XL6/XL6e OCS and OCS/RCS devices that are attached to the CAN network.
6.5 Ladder-Controlled CAN Communication
Using Put and Get Network Words function blocks, the NET1 port can exchange digital and analog global
data with other XL6/XL6e OCS or OCS/RCS devices (nodes) attached to the CAN network.
In addition, Put and Get Network Heartbeat function blocks allow nodes on the CAN network to regularly
announce their presence and to detect the presence (or absence) of other nodes on the network.
6.6 Using CAN for I/O Expansion (Network I/O)
Connecting Network I/O devices (SmartStix Modules) to the XL6/XL6e OCS NET1 port, allows the
XL6/XL6e OCS I/O to be economically expanded and distributed. A variety of SmartStix Modules is
available for this purpose.
