Using this Manual3
This manual only describes how to install and use the
XM-121 Absolute Shaft module. For information about the
low frequency dynamic measurement module, refer to the
XM-120/121 Dynamic Measurement Module User Guide.
Introducing the Absolute
Shaft Module
The XM-121 Absolute Shaft module is an XM-121 Low Frequency Dynamic
module with alternative, XM-121A, firmware loaded onto it. The XM-121 is
part of the Allen-Bradley™ XM
condition monitoring and protection modules that operate both in stand-alone
applications or integrate with Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) and
control system networks.
Shaft Absolute is the measure of the shaft’s motion relative to free space – its
absolute motion. In the Absolute Shaft module, the Shaft Absolute
measurement is calculated by summing signals of both an eddy current probe,
measuring the motion of the shaft relative to the case, and an Allen-Bradley
9000 series sensor (accelerometer or velocity) measuring the absolute motion
of the case.
In addition to vibration inputs, the Absolute Shaft module accepts one
tachometer input to provide speed measurement and order analysis functions.
It also includes a single on-board relay (expandable to five with an XM-441
module), two 4-20 mA outputs, and a buffered output for each input. The
module can collect data under steady-state and startup/coast-down conditions,
and monitor up to nine alarms making it a complete monitoring system.

architecting power supplies for XM systems.
Grounding Requirements
Use these grounding requirements to ensure safe electrical operating
circumstances, and to help avoid potential emi and ground noise that can cause
unfavorable operating conditions for your XM system.
DIN Rail Grounding
The XM modules make a chassis ground connection through the DIN rail.
The DIN rail must be connected to a ground bus or grounding electrode
conductor using 8 AWG or 1 inch copper braid. See Figure 2.2.
Use zinc-plated, yellow-chromated steel DIN rail (Allen-Bradley part no.
199-DR1 or 199-DR4) or equivalent to assure proper grounding. Using other
DIN rail materials (e.g. aluminum, plastic, etc.), which can corrode, oxidize, or
are poor conductors can result in improper or intermittent platform
grounding.

IMPORTANT
IMPORTANT
24 V Common Grounding
24 V power to the XM modules must be grounded. When two or more power
supplies power the XM system, ground the 24 V Commons at a single point,
such as the ground bus bar.
If it is not possible or practical to ground the -24Vdc
supply, then it is possible for the system to be installed and
operate ungrounded. However, if installed ungrounded
then the system must not be connected to a ground
through any other circuit unless that circuit is isolated
externally. Connecting a floating system to a non-isolated
ground could result in damage to the XM module(s)
and/or any connected device. Also, operating the system
without a ground may result in the system not performing
to the published specifications regards measurement
accuracy and communications speed, distance or reliability.
The 24 V Common and Signal Common terminals are
internally connected. They are isolated from the Chassis
terminals unless they are connected to ground as described
in this section. See Terminal Block Assignments on page 18
for more information.
Transducer Grounding
Make certain the transducers are electrically isolated from earth ground. Cable
shields must be grounded at one end of the cable, and the other end left
floating or not connected. It is recommended that where possible, the cable
shield be grounded at the XM terminal base (Chassis terminal) and not at the
transducer.
DeviceNet Grounding
The DeviceNet network is functionally isolated and must be referenced to
earth ground at a single point. XM modules do not require an external
DeviceNet power supply. Connect DeviceNet V- to earth ground at one of the
XM modules, as shown in Figure 2.6.

in using XM with other DeviceNet products.
Mounting the Terminal
Base Unit
For more information on the DeviceNet installation, refer to the ODVA
Planning and Installation Manual - DeviceNet Cable System, which is available
on the ODVA web site (http://www.odva.org).
Switch Input Grounding
The Switch Input circuits are functionally isolated from other circuits. It is
recommended that the Switch RTN signal be grounded at a single point.
Connect the Switch RTN signal to the XM terminal base (Chassis terminal) or
directly to the DIN rail, or ground the signal at the switch or other equipment
that is wired to the switch.
The XM family includes several different terminal base units to serve all of the
XM modules. The XM-940 terminal base, Cat. No. 1440-TB-A, is the only
terminal base unit used with the Absolute Shaft module.

Table 2.1 shows the on-board relay connections for the module.
All XM relays are double pole. This means that each relay
has two contacts in which each contact operates
independently but identically. The following table and
illustrations show wiring solutions for both contacts;
although, in many applications it may be necessary to wire
only one contact.
The Expansion Relay module may be connected to the
module to provide additional relays. Refer the XM-441
Expansion Relay Module User’s Guide for wiring details.
The NC/NO terminal descriptions (page 20) correspond
to a de-energized (unpowered) relay.
When the relay is configured for non-failsafe operation, the
relay is normally de-energized.
When the relay is configured for failsafe operation, the
relay is normally energized, and the behavior of the NC and
NO terminals is inverted.

Figures 2.9 and 2.10 illustrate the behavior of the NC and NO terminals when
the relay is wired for failsafe, alarm or nonalarm condition or non-failsafe,
alarm or nonalarm condition.
Figures 2.11 and 2.12 show how to wire both ends of a single external
indicator to the XM terminal base for failsafe, nonalarm or alarm condition or
non-failsafe, nonalarm or alarm condition.
The XM-121 provides a single tachometer input signal. The signal processing
performed on the tachometer signal depends on the configuration of the
module. See page 52 for a description of the tachometer parameters.
If you are not using the tachometer input, set the Pulses per Revolution parameter to zero (0). This will disable the
tachometer measurement and prevent the module from
indicating a tachometer fault (TACH indicator flashing
yellow). A tachometer fault occurs when no signal pulses
are received on the tachometer input signal for a relatively
long period.

Connecting the Transducers
The Absolute Shaft module can accept input from a non-contact eddy current
probe and a case mounted vibration sensor (accelerometer or velocity sensor).
The signal from a non-contact eddy current probe must be connected to
channel 1. The Absolute Shaft module supports the 5, 8, and 11mm
Allen-Bradley 2100 Series and Bently Nevada 3300 XL Series probes.

Important Considerations
When mounting the vibration sensor and the non-contact eddy current probe,
it is important to note the following:
• The two sensors should be mounted at or adjacent to each machine
bearing.
• The sensors should be mounted in the same geometric plane.
• It is preferable to mount the transducers at the same point on the same
bearing half. This can be done by using a dual mounting housing (such
as the Dual Probe Holder, Cat. No. EK-29000-DPH01). The positions
chosen should be the same at each bearing.
Connecting a Non-Contact Sensor and 9000 Series Sensor
The following figure shows the wiring of a non-contact sensor and a 9000
series sensor to the terminal base unit. The non-contact sensor must be wired
to channel 1 and the 9000 sensor must be wired to channel 2.
The Absolute Shaft module requires the XM-121 module
revision B01 (and later). Earlier revisions of the module do
not support the Absolute Shaft wiring configuration.
You may ground the cable shield at either end of the cable.
Do not ground the shield at both ends. Recommended
practice is to ground the cable shield at the terminal base
and not at the transducer. Any convenient Chassis terminal
may be used (see Terminal Block Assignments on page 18).
The internal transducer power supply is providing power to
the non-contact sensor.

ATTENTION
Connecting the Remote Relay Reset Signal
If you set the module relay to latching and the relay activates, the relay stays
activated even when the condition that caused the alarm has ended. The
remote relay reset signal enables you to reset your module relay remotely after
you have corrected the alarm condition. This includes latched relays in the
Expansion Relay module when it is attached to the XM-121.
If you set a module relay to latching, make sure that any
linked relays, such as relays in an XM-440 Master Relay
Module, are not configured as latching. When both relays
are set to latching, the relay in each module will have to be
independently reset when necessary.
You can discretely reset a relay using the serial or remote
configuration tool.
Wire the Remote Relay Reset Signal to the terminal base unit as shown in
Figure 2.19.
Figure 2.19 Remote Relay Reset Signal Connection
The Switch Input circuits are functionally isolated from
other circuits. It is recommended that the Switch RTN
signal be grounded at a signal point. Connect the Switch
RTN signal to the XM terminal base (Chassis terminal) or
directly to the DIN rail, or ground the signal at the switch
or other equipment that is wired to the switch.
Publication GMSI10-UM014D-EN-P - May 2010
32 Installing the Absolute Shaft Module
ATTENTION
A single switch contact can also be shared by multiple XM modules wired in
parallel as shown in Figure 2.20.
The relay reset connections may be different for different
XM modules. Figure 2.20 applies only to the XM-121
module. Refer to the installation instructions for the
module for its terminal assignments.
You can configure the module to multiply the alarm setpoints, or inhibit the
alarms during the start-up period. This can be used to avoid alarm conditions
that may occur during startup, for example, when the monitored machine
passes through a critical speed.
Wire the Setpoint Multiplication switch to the terminal base unit as shown in

base (Chassis terminal) or directly to the DIN rail, or
ground the signal at the other equipment in the 4-20 mA
loop.
Serial Port Connection
The XM-121 includes a serial port connection that allows you to connect a PC
to it and configure the module’s parameters. There are two methods of
connecting an external device to the module’s serial port.
• Ter mi nal Bas e Un it - There are three terminals on the terminal base
unit you can use for the serial port connection. They are TxD, RxD, and
RTN (terminals 7, 8, and 9, respectively). If these three terminals are
wired to a DB-9 female connector, then a standard RS-232 serial cable
with 9-pin (DB-9) connectors can be used to connect the module to a
PC (no null modem is required).
The DB-9 connector should be wired to the terminal block as shown.
• Mini-Connector - The mini-connector is located on top of the module,
as shown in Figure 2.23.
Figure 2.23 Mini-Connector
A special cable (Cat. No. 1440-SCDB9FXM2) is required for this
connection. The connector that inserts into the PC is a DB-9 female
connector, and the connector that inserts into the module is a USB
Mini-B male connector.
If you connect or disconnect the serial cable with power
applied to the module or the serial device on the other end
of the cable, an electrical arc can occur. This could cause an
explosion in hazardous location installations. Be sure that
power is removed or the area is nonhazardous before
proceeding.
If 24V Common is not referenced to earth ground, we
recommend you use an RS-232 isolator, such as Phoenix
PSM-ME-RS232/RS232-P (Cat. No. 1440-ISO-232-24), to
protect both the XM module and the computer.
DeviceNet Connection
The XM-121 includes a DeviceNet™ connection that allows the module to
communicate with a programmable controller, DCS, or another XM module.
DeviceNet is an open, global, industry-standard communications network
designed to provide an interface through a single cable from a programmable
controller to a smart device such as the XM-121. As multiple XM modules are
interconnected, DeviceNet also serves as the communication bus and protocol
that efficiently transfers data between the XM modules.

The DeviceNet power circuit through the XM module
interconnect, which is rated at only 300 mA, is not intended
or designed to power DeviceNet loads. Doing so could
damage the module or terminal base.
To preclude this possibility, even unintentionally, it is
recommended that DeviceNet V+ be left unconnected.
You must ground the DeviceNet shield at only one
location. Connecting the DeviceNet shield to terminal 10
will ground the DeviceNet shield at the XM module. If you
intend to terminate the shield elsewhere, do not connect
the shield to terminal 10.
The DeviceNet network must also be referenced to earth at
only one location. Connect DNet V- to earth or chassis at
one of the XM modules.
The DNet V+ and DNet V- terminals are inputs to the XM
module. Do not attempt to pass DeviceNet power through
the XM terminal base to other non-XM equipment by
connecting to these terminals. Failure to comply may result
in damage to the XM terminal base and/or other
equipment.
Terminate the DeviceNet network and adhere to the
requirements and instructions in the ODVA Planning and
Installation Manual - DeviceNet Cable System, which is
available on the ODVA web site (http://www.odva.org).

Mounting the Module
The XM-121 mounts on the XM-940 terminal base unit, Cat. No. 1440-TB-A.
We recommend that you mount the module after you have connected the
wiring on the terminal base unit.
The XM-121 module is compatible only with the XM-940
terminal base unit. The keyswitch on the terminal base unit
should be at position 1 for the modules.
Do not attempt to install the XM-121 module on other
terminal base units.
Do not change the position of the keyswitch after
wiring the terminal base.
This module is designed so you can remove and insert it
under power. However, when you remove or insert the
module with power applied, I/O attached to the module
can change states due to its input/output signal changing
conditions. Take special care when using this feature.
When you insert or remove the module while power is on,
an electrical arc can occur. This could cause an explosion in
hazardous location installations. Be sure that power is
removed or the area is nonhazardous before proceeding.

Overall Measurement Parameters
Parameter Name DescriptionValues/Comments
Signal DetectionThe measurement (or calculation) performed on the
input signal to produce the Overall Value. See Data
Parameters on page 69.
• RMS - The Overall Value is the root mean squared
(RMS) signal level of the input signal.
• Calculated Peak - The Overall Value is the
measured RMS value multiplied by the square root
of two (1.4142).
• Calculated Peak-to-Peak - The Overall Value is
the measured RMS value multiplied by two times
the square root of two (2.8284).
• True Peak - The Overall Value is the output of a
peak detector applied to the input signal.
• True Peak-to-Peak - The Overall Value is the
output of a peak-to-peak detector applied to the
input signal.
Overall Time ConstantFor RMS measurements, the Overall Time Constant
parameter sets the 3-DB bandwidth (Hz) for the
digital filtering used to calculate the Overall Value.
The 3-dB bandwidth is roughly equal to 1 / (2
π x
Overall Time Constant). The greater the Overall
Time Constant, the slower the response of the
measured Overall Value to change in the input
signal.
For example, an Overall Time Constant of 0.1
seconds may be appropriate for monitoring the
Overall Value of an input signal with a fundamental
frequency of 1.6 Hz and above. Although, the
response to a step change in input will take
approximately 2.2 times the Overall Time Constant to
settle. Therefore, for an Overall Time Constant of 0.1
seconds, the settling time will be approximately 0.22
seconds.
Important: When changing the signal
detection, make certain to check the
Overall Time Constant value.
Enter a value greater than 0 (zero).
Recommended Values:
The recommended values are
appropriate for a typical 50/60Hz
machine, and may need to be adjusted
depending on the application.
• For True Peak or True
Peak-to-Peak measurements, set
the Overall Time Constant to 1.5.
• For RMS, Calculated Peak, or
Calculated Peak-to-Peak
measurements, set the Overall Time
Constant to one of the following:
For True Peak measurements, the Overall Time
Constant sets the decay rate of the peak detection
meter. The greater the Overall Time Constant, the
slower the Peak is decayed.

Overall Damping FactorThis parameter is used in conjunction with the
Overall Time Constant to vary the characteristics
of the response of the digital filter used in
calculating the Overall Value.
An overall value for a measurement with a damping
factor near 1.0 (critical damping) will slowly rise or
fall for the full settling time specified by the Overall Time Constant before reaching the final value. An
overall value for a measurement with a damping
factor near 0.707 will rise or fall quickly and may
"overshoot" (measure a value greater or less than the
final value) before reaching the final value for a
given input signal.

Tachometer Signal Processing Parameters
The Absolute Shaft module requires the tachometer to
track the machine speed (tracking filter) and to calculate the
1X measurements.
If you are not using the tachometer channel, set the Pulses Per Revolution to zero. This will disable the tachometer
measurement, and prevent the module from indicating a
tachometer fault.
Tachometer Signal Processing Parameters
Parameter Name DescriptionValues/Comments
Pulses Per RevolutionThe number of tachometer signal pulses per
revolution of the shaft (number of gear teeth). This
setting is useful if a proximity probe located over a
gear or shaft with a multi-toothed speed sensing
surface is used to generate the input signal.
The input tachometer signal is multiplied by this
value to obtain the measured speed.
Fault Time-OutThe number of seconds the module should wait after
the last valid tach pulse before it indicates a
tachometer fault.
Sets the trigger mode. In Auto Trigger mode, the
minimum signal amplitude for triggering is 2 volts
peak-to-peak and minimum frequency is 6 CPM (0.1
Hz).
Enter zero if you are not using the
tachometer channel to disable the
tachometer measurement.
Note: When pulses per revolution is
greater than 1, the module will not
consistently synchronize to the same
pulse, and the phase measurement
may change if the module’s
synchronizes on a different pulse.
Important: The tachometer signal is

Note: The multiplication may have the opposite of

Relay Parameters
The Relay parameters control the operation of the on-board relay, as well as
the relays on the Expansion Relay (XM-441) module. Use these parameters to
configure which alarm(s) the relay is associated with, as well as the behavior of
the relay.
A relay can be defined, regardless of whether or not it is
physically present. A non-physical relay is a virtual relay.
When a relay (physical or virtual) activates, the module
sends a Change of State (COS) message to its master,
which acts on the condition as necessary. An XM-440
Master Relay Module can activate its own relays in response
to a relay (physical or virtual) activation at any of its slaves.

Determines whether the relay is failsafe or

Failsafe operation means that when in alarm, the
relay contacts are in their "normal," de-energized, or
"shelf-state" positions. In other words, normally
closed relays are closed in alarm, and normally open
relays are open in alarm. With failsafe operation, a
power failure equals an alarm.
The following are true of a relay in failsafe
operation:
• The relay is energized when power is applied to
the module.
• The relay in a nonalarmed condition has power
applied to the coil.
• In alarm condition, power is removed from the
relay coil, causing the relay to change state.
For non-failsafe operation, the following are true:
• Under nonalarm conditions, the relay closes the
circuit between the common and the N.C.
(normally closed) terminals.
• Under alarm conditions, the relay changes state to
close the circuit between the common and the
N.O. (normally open) terminals.
For failsafe operation, the following are true:
• Under nonalarm (with power applied to the unit)
conditions, the relay closes the circuit between the

output value. The Min Range value does not have to be
less than the Max Range value. If the Min Range value is
greater than the Max Range value, then the output signal
is effectively inverted from the input signal.
The 4-20 mA outputs are either on or off. When they are
on, the 4-20 mA outputs overshoot the 4 and 20 mA limits
by 10% when the measurement exceeds the minimum and
maximum range. This means the minimum current
produced is 3.6 mA and the maximum current produced is
22 mA.
When the 4-20 mA outputs are off, they produce a current
approximately 2.9 mA. The 4-20 mA outputs are off under
the following conditions:
• The 4-20 mA outputs are set to "Disable" (see Enable on
the previous page).
• The module is in Program mode.
• A transducer fault or tachometer fault occurs that affects
the corresponding measurement.

64 Configuration Parameters
IMPORTANT
Triggered Trend Parameters
The Absolute Shaft module can collect a triggered trend. A triggered trend is a
time-based trend that is collected when a relay is activated, or the module
receives a trigger event.
Once the triggered trend is configured, the XM module continuously monitors
the trended measurements. When a trigger occurs, the XM module collects
additional data as specified by the Post Trigger parameter. The Absolute Shaft
module can also store the waveform at the time of the trigger.
The XM module can only store one triggered trend. Unless the triggered trend
is latched, the trend data is overwritten with new data when the next trigger
occurs.
The triggered trend parameters define the trend data that is collected by the
module. Use these parameters to select the measurements included in the
trend records, the interval between trend records, and which relay triggers
(activates) the collection of the trend data.
The Triggered Trend parameters are not included in the
EDS file and cannot be edited using generic configuration
tools such as RSNetWorx for DeviceNet.

Post TriggerThe percentage of records to be collected once the
0 to 100 Percent
trigger occurs. For example, if you set Post Trigger to
20%, then 80% of the records in the trend are before
the trigger occurs, and 20% of the records in the
trend are after the trigger occurs.
This allows you to evaluate what happened after the
trigger occurred.

66 Configuration Parameters
IMPORTANT
SU/CD Trend Parameters
The Absolute Shaft module can collect startup or coast-down trend data when
the machine speed passes into a defined speed range. A tachometer input is
required to collect the startup/coast-down trend.
The XM module collects a startup trend when the machine speed rises
through the Minimum Speed + 8 RPM, and stops when the machine speed
crosses either the Minimum Speed or the Maximum Speed. The module
collects data only when machine speed is increasing. It does not collect data if
the machine speed is constant or decreasing.
The XM module collects a coast-down trend when the machine speed falls
through the Maximum Speed - 8 RPM, and stops when the machine speed
crosses either the Minimum Speed or the Maximum Speed. The module
collects data when the machine speed is decreasing or increasing during a
coast-down trend (for example, a coast-down restart).
The XM module can only store one startup/coast-down trend. Unless the
startup/coast-down trend is latched, the trend data is overwritten with new
data when the next startup or coast-down occurs.
The SU/CD trend parameters define the trend data that is collected by the
module during the startup or coast-down of a machine. Use these parameters
to configure the measurements included in the startup and coast-down trend
records, the interval between trend records, and the minimum and maximum
speed limits at which record collection starts and stops.
The SU/CD Trend parameters are not included in the EDS
file and cannot be edited using generic configuration tools
such as RSNetWorx for DeviceNet.

XM modules operate in two modes.
ModeDescription
RunThe XM measurement modules collect measurement data and
monitor each measurement device.
The XM-440 establishes I/O connections with the XM
measurement modules in its scan list and monitors their alarms,
and controls its own relay outputs accordingly.
ProgramThe XM module is idle.
The XM measurement modules stop the signal
processing/measurement process, and the status of the alarms
is set to the disarm state to prevent a false alert or danger
status.
The XM-440 closes the I/O connections with the XM
measurement modules in its scan list and stops monitoring their
alarms, relays are deactivated unless they are latched.
Configuration parameters can be read, updated and downloaded

Absolute Shaft I/O Message
Formats
The Absolute Shaft module supports Poll, Change of State (COS), and
Bit-Strobe I/O messages. The Poll response message is used by the XM
module to produce measured values and the COS message is used to produce
the Alarm and Relay Status. The Bit-Strobe message is used by a master device
to send a trigger event to all the XM slaves on the network.
Poll Message Format
The Absolute Shaft module Poll request message contains no data. The Poll
response message can contain up to 31 REAL values for a total of 124 bytes.
The Absolute Shaft module provides one pre-defined (static) data format of
the Poll response, as defined in Assembly instance 101. It also provides a
dynamic Assembly instance, instance 199, with which you can define a custom
data format for the Poll response. The dynamic Assembly instance can contain
any of the measurement parameters included in Assembly instance 101, as well
as several of the alarm and relay configuration parameters.
The default Assembly instance is 101 and the default size is 48 bytes. You can
change the Assembly instance and define the dynamic Assembly using the
configuration software. Refer to I/O Data Parameters on page 68.

The Poll response data can also be requested explicitly through Assembly
Object (Class ID 0x4), Instance 101 (0x65), Data Attribute (3).
The following table shows the static data format of Assembly instance 101.
The Absolute Shaft COS message contains five bytes of data as defined in the
table below. The COS data can also be requested explicitly through Assembly
Object (Class ID 0x4), Instance 100 (0x64), Data Attribute (3).

XM Status Values
The following tables describe the XM Status values that are included in the
COS messages.
The Bit-Strobe command sends one bit of output data to each XM slave
whose node address appears in the master’s scanlist.
The Bit-Strobe command message contains a bit string of 64 bits (8 bytes) of
output data, one output bit per node address on the network. One bit is
assigned to each node address supported on the network (0...63) as shown in
Figure B.1.

IMPORTANT
Figure B.1 Bit-Strobe Command
The XM modules use the bit received in a Bit-Strobe connection as a trigger
event. When the bit number corresponding to the XM module’s node address
is set, the XM module will collect the triggered trend data.
Note that the XM modules do not send data in the Bit-Strobe response.
ADR for XM Modules
Automatic Device Replacement (ADR) is a feature of an Allen-Bradley
DeviceNet scanner. It provides a means for replacing a failed device with a
new unit, and having the device configuration data set automatically. Upon
replacing a failed device with a new unit, the ADR scanner automatically
downloads the configuration data and sets the node address.
It is recommended that ADR not be used in safety related
applications. If the failure of the ADR server, and a
subsequent power cycle, would result in the loss of
protection for a machine, then ADR should not be
implemented.
ADR can be used with XM modules but keep the following in mind when
setting up the XM modules.

DeviceNet Information 89
TIP
• The ADR scanner can not download the configuration data to an XM
module if the module has a saved configuration in its non-volatile
memory. This happens because the saved configuration is restored and
the module enters Run mode when the power is cycled. (Configuration
parameters cannot be downloaded while an XM module is in Run
mode.) XM modules must be in Program mode for the ADR
configuration to be downloaded and this occurs only when there is no
saved configuration.
To delete a saved configuration from non-volatile
memory, use the Delete service in RSNetWorx for
DeviceNet or perform the following steps in the XM
Serial Configuration Utility.
1. Save the current configuration to a file. From the
File menu, click Save As and enter a file name for
the configuration.
2. Reset the module to factory defaults. Click the
Module tab and click the Reset button.
3. Reload the saved configuration. From the File
menu, click Open and select the configuration file.
4. Make certain to disable auto save. From the Device
menu, clear the Auto Save Configuration check
mark.
• An XM module will enter Run mode automatically after the ADR
scanner restores the module’s configuration only if the module is in Run
mode at the time the configuration is saved to the scanner. If the
module is in Program mode when the configuration is saved, then the
module will remain in Program mode after the configuration is
downloaded by the ADR scanner.
• The ADR scanner saves and restores only the configuration parameters
contained in the module’s EDS file. Some XM parameters are not
included in the EDS file because they are not supported by either the
EDS specification or the tools that read the EDS files, for example
RSNetWorx for DeviceNet. These configuration parameters will not be
restored with ADR.
Below is a list of the configuration parameters that are not included in
the EDS file and can not be saved or restored with ADR.
– Channel Name
– Tachometer Name
– Alarm Name
– Relay Name
– All Triggered Trend related parameters (see page 64)
Publication GMSI10-UM014D-EN-P - May 2010
90 DeviceNet Information
– All SU/CD Trend related parameters (see page 66)
– Custom Assembly structure (see page 68)
• The ADR and trigger group functions cannot be used together. A
module can have only one primary master so a module cannot be both
configured for ADR and included in a trigger group. The ADR scanner
must be the primary master for the modules configured for ADR. The
XM-440 Master Relay module must be the primary master for modules
included in a trigger group.
