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.

IMPORTANT
See Application Technique "XM Power Supply Solutions", publication ICM-AP005A-EN-E, for guidance in 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
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.

ATTENTION
Figure 2.6 Grounded DeviceNet V- at XM Module
Use of a separate DeviceNet power supply is not permitted. See Application Technique "XM Power Supply Solutions", publication ICM-AP005A-EN-E, for guidance 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.

IMPORTANT
IMPORTANT
ATTENTION

Connecting the Power Supply

Power supplied to the module must be nominally 24 Vdc (±10%) and must be a Class 2 rated circuit.
Wire the DC-input power supply to the terminal base unit as shown in Figure
2.8.
Figure 2.8 DC Input Power Supply Connections
A Class 2 circuit can be provided by use of an NEC Class 2 rated power supply, or by using a SELV or PELV rated power supply with a 5 Amp current limiting fuse installed before the XM module(s).
24Vdc needs to be wired to terminal 44 (+24 V In) to provide power to the device and other XM modules linked to the wired terminal base via the side connector.
The power connections are different for different XM modules. Refer to the installation instructions for your specific XM module for complete wiring information.

Connecting the Relays

The XM-121 has both Normally Open (NO) and Normally Closed (NC) relay contacts. Normally Open relay contacts close when the control output is
energized. Normally Closed relay contacts open when the control output is energized.
Publication GMSI10-UM014D-EN-P - May 2010
22 Installing the Absolute Shaft Module
IMPORTANT
TIP
IMPORTANT
The alarms associated with the relay and whether the relay is normally de-energized (non-failsafe) or normally energized (failsafe) depends on the configuration of the module. Refer to Relay Parameters on page 59 for details.
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.

Connecting the Tachometer Signal

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.

The voltage operating range of the buffered outputs must be configured to coincide with the corresponding transducer bias range. This operating range is configured by placing a jumper from terminal 5 (channel 1) and terminal 22 (channel 2) to either terminal 6 (Positive Buffer Bias) or terminal 21 (Buffer -), depending on the transducer. See Table 2.2. Note the buffered output operating range is configured independently per channel.
Installing the Absolute Shaft Module 27

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.

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.

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.

WARNING
IMPORTANT
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.

Parameter Name Description Values/Comments Signal Detection The 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 Constant For 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.
Options: RMS
Calculated Peak Calculated Peak-to-Peak True Peak True Peak-to-Peak
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 Measurement Parameters
Parameter Name Description Values/Comments Overall Damping Factor This 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.
Enter a value from 0.707 to 1.0.

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 Description Values/Comments Pulses Per Revolution The 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-Out The 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 required (Pulses Per Revolution set to 1 or more) for the speed and 1X measurements.
This value must be greater than zero.
Enter a value from 1 to 64 seconds.

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 non-failsafe.
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)

Measured values between Min Range and Max Range are scaled into the range from 4.0 to 20.0 to produce 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:

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.

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.

Configuration Parameters 67
SU/CD Trend Parameters
Parameter Name Description Values/Comments Latch Enable Determines whether the startup/coast-down trend is
latched or unlatched.
Check means latched
Clear means unlatched
Latched means that subsequent startup/coast-down trends are ignored after the initial startup/coast-down. This prevents the trend data from being overwritten with new data until the trigger is manually reset (click Reset Trigger button).
Unlatched means that the startup/coast-down trend data is overwritten with new data every time the machine speed crosses into the speed range.
Record Interval The change in speed between consecutive records.
1 to 3600 RPM
Note: If you enter a Record Interval, the Maximum Trend Span is automatically updated.
Maximum Trend Span The maximum change in speed that can be covered
by the trend data (Number of Records x Record Interval).
Note: If you edit the Trend Span, the Record Interval is automatically updated.
Minimum Speed The lesser limit of the speed range in which records
are collected in the startup/coast-down trend. This value must be less than the Maximum Speed value.
Maximum Speed The greater limit of the speed range in which records
are collected in the startup/coast-down trend. This value must be greater than the Minimum Speed value.
RPM
RPM
Startup/Coast-down Trend
Considerations:
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 the 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).

SU/CD Trend Parameters
Parameter Name Description Values/Comments Status Shows the status of the trend data. Possible status values:
Not collected - No trend data is
currently collected.
Collecting - A trigger has occurred
and data is being collected.
Collected - A trend has been saved
to the buffer and is available to view and upload.
View Trend Data Displays a plot of the collected trend data. Reset Trigger Resets the trigger if Latch enabled is selected. This
allows the module to overwrite the previous trend data when the machine speed crosses into the speed range.

I/O Data Parameters

The I/O data parameters are used to configure the content and size of the DeviceNet I/O Poll response message.
The Absolute Shaft module must be free of Poll connections when configuring the Poll Output (Poll Response Assembly) and Poll Size. Any attempt to download the parameters while a master device has established the Poll connection with the XM module will result in an error.
To close an existing Poll connection with an XM-440, switch the XM-440 from Run mode to Program mode. Refer to Changing Operation Modes on page 81.
To close an existing Poll connection with other master devices, remove the module from the scan list or turn off the master device.

Electronic Data Sheets

Changing Operation Modes

Electronic Data Sheet (EDS) files are simple text files used by network configuration tools such as RSNetWorx (Version 3.0 or later) to help you identify products and easily commission them on a network. The EDS files describe a product’s device type, product revision, and configurable parameters on a DeviceNet network.
The EDS files for the XM modules are installed on your computer with the XM configuration software. The latest EDS files can also be obtained at http://www.ab.com/networks/eds/ or by contacting your local Rockwell Automation representative.
Refer to your DeviceNet documentation for instructions on registering the EDS files.
XM modules operate in two modes.
Mode Description
Run The 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.
Program The 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 to the XM module.
To change the operation mode of the module, use the Device Mode parameter in the EDS file. Note that the Stop and Start services described on page 83 can also be used to change the operation mode.
The XM Serial Configuration Utility software automatically puts XM modules in Program mode and Run mode without user interaction.

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.
Publication GMSI10-UM014D-EN-P - May 2010

Bit-Strobe Message Format

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.
Publication GMSI10-UM014D-EN-P - May 2010
88 DeviceNet Information
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.
Publication GMSI10-UM014D-EN-P - May 2010
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

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.
