2.1 Hardware Units
The TAC Xenta 280/300/400 family consists of the following units:
• The TAC Xenta 280/300/401 controller. The controller contains
the database of the inputs and outputs of the TAC Xenta system. It
also contains the system and application software for all the functions that are to be performed by the controller and the connected
peripheral units.
• TAC Xenta OP. The operator panel includes control buttons while
a screen displays the values and menus. TAC Xenta OP can be
connected to any controller in the network.
I/O expansion modules. These can be used to extend the number of
inputs and outputs on a TAC Xenta 300/401 controller.
The I/O modules are described in a separate manual, TAC Xenta 400 I/
O Modules.

A number of controllers and I/O modules can form a local network and
exchange data.
The TAC Xenta OP operator panel allows the user to:
• Obtain access to certain parameters
• Monitor the system status
• Adjust setpoints and time channels
• Display alarms (without communicating with a central system)
Up to two OPs may be connected to each controller.
2.2 Configurations
The TAC Xenta controllers can be used in different configurations, for
example:
• As stand-alone units (for a TAC Xenta 401 with at least one I/O
module).
• With controllers and OPs in a network, with extra I/O modules as
required (no I/O modules for the TAC Xenta 280).
• With controllers, OPs, I/O modules and other equipment in a full
network with suitable adapters, possibly with connections to a
TAC Vista Central System.

Inputs
All TAC Xenta 280 controllers have digital inputs (X).
The TAC Xenta 281 and 282 have universal (analog or digital, U)
inputs. The universal inputs can be used for three types of signals:
• TAC thermistor 1.8 kohm at 25 °C (the same as the thermistor
inputs)
• Voltage input 0–10V
• open/closed contact (the same as the digital inputs).
The TAC Xenta 282 also has thermistor inputs (labeled B) for
1.8 kohm.
The TAC Xenta 283 has thermistor inputs (labelled B) that can be used
with either 1.8 kohm or 10 kohm thermistors.
All controller inputs are protected from transients, in compliance with
the EN 50082-1 norm.
Outputs
The TAC Xenta 281 and 282 have the following outputs;
• Analog (Y) — 0–10V DC outputs
• Digital (K) — relay potential-free outputs
While the TAC Xenta 283 has TRIAC (V) — outputs capable of supplying inductive loads.
3.1.2 Jacks
18 (74) Schneider Electric Buildings AB, June 2011
The TAC Xenta 280 has two modular jacks–one for the TAC Xenta OP
operator panel and one for an RS232 connection with TAC Menta.
The socket for the operator panel provides it with 24V AC or DC,
depending on the supply.

TAC Xenta 302
Fig. 3.6: The terminals of the TAC Xenta 301 and 302
Inputs
The TAC Xenta 300 controllers have twelve inputs:
• Four thermistor inputs (labeled B1–B4)
• Four universal (analog or digital, U1–U4)
• Four digital (X1–X4).
The universal inputs can be used for three types of signals:
• TAC thermistor 1.8 kohm at 25 °C (the same as the thermistor
inputs)
• Voltage input 0–10V
• Open/closed contact (the same as the digital inputs)
All controller inputs are protected from transients, in compliance with
the EN 50082-1 norm.
Outputs
The TAC Xenta 300 controllers have eight outputs:
• Analog — 0–10V DC outputs
• Digital — relay potential-free outputs

3.2.2 Jacks
The TAC Xenta 300 has two modular jacks–one for the TAC Xenta OP
operator panel and one for an RS232 connection with TAC Menta.
The socket for the operator panel provides it with 24V AC or DC,
depending on the supply.
At distances greater than 10 m (32 ft.) between the TAC Xenta controller and the OP, an external power supply should be used. In addition, the
communications connection has to follow the same rules as for other
nodes.

4.1 Mounting the Controller
The TAC Xenta 280/300/401 controller is designed to be mounted on a
DIN rail inside a cabinet. The controller can also be mounted directly
on a wall. A wide range of standard enclosures meeting DIN 43 880,
with different enclosure ratings, are available for wall mounting.
The enclosure primarily consists of a terminal part containing screw terminals, and an electronics part where the printed circuit boards are situated. The enclosure is designed in such a way that the entire electrical
installation can be connected to the screw terminals of the terminal part
when mounted on a DIN rail or on a wall.
Fig. 4.1: The terminal part (left) and the electronics part (right) of the
TAC Xenta 401
The operator panel can be mounted in the front of the cabinet or on top
of a TAC Xenta controller, or it can be held in the hand.

4.2.1 General Considerations
The installation is normally treated as a CAT III category (IEC 664), in
30 (74) Schneider Electric Buildings AB, June 2011
principle entailing permanent connection to a 230V AC mains supply.
For the TAC Xenta 280/300 and the I/O modules, this is only applicable
to the relay outputs.
All equipment connected to the controller has to comply with the following standards:
• EN 60 742 (or other relevant safety standard; for example ETL
listing UL 3111-1, first version and CAN/CSA C22.2 No. 1010.1-

92) for the device(s) that provide an ELV-type power supply (normally 24V AC) to the controller and other connected equipment.
• EN 61 010 or IEC 950 (or other relevant safety standard) for computers, modems, and other equipment supplied by 230V mains.
If equipment using 230 V mains is connected to one of the relay output
terminals on the controller, then low-voltage equipment connected to
the other relay terminals on the controller must provide at least basic
insulation on all touchable parts.
Caution
• We strongly recommend that switches be installed to make it
possible to separate the external equipment when the relay output
terminals control equipment using the 230V mains.
Terminals G, G0 and C1, C2
• Mount the terminal part of the
T AC Xenta 280, 300, or 40 1 on a DIN
rail.
• Connect the cables to the correct terminals (see figure below).
• For the TAC Xenta 401, put the electronics part of the controller
on to the terminal part (the remaining terminals are not used).
Fig. 4.5: Terminals for power supply and network communication
Remaining terminals (TAC Xenta 280 and 300)
For information on the remaining terminal connection, see the
datasheets:

When cabinet mounting is used, jumpers may be used between M (measurement neutral) terminal pairs, as shown in the figure below. All G0
points have to be connected to protective ground.
Fig. 4.6: Skeleton diagram for cabinet connections
When connecting G0 to ground, each TAC Xenta unit has to its own
connection with the ground rail, that is, jumpers cannot be used for the
G0 terminals. Please refer to the figure on the next page.
Several units may share the same ground rail, but every unit with measuring inputs and/or analog outputs has to have all its gr ound connec-
32 (74) Schneider Electric Buildings AB, June 2011
tions with the same ground rail.
In other words, a discontinuity in the ground rail cannot be allowed to
split a controller or separate it from the connected units.

For the TP/FX-1250 Channel operating in a bus topology, the maximum
bus length of TIA 568A Category 5 cabling is 130 meters, with a maximum stub length of 0.3 meters. There are topology restrictions associated with the use of this channel - refer to www.echelon.com.
Note
• If a shielded cable is used in TP/FT-10, the shield shall be connected to link power source that is ground to a 470kW, 1/4Watt,
> 10%, metal film resistor to prevent static charge buildup.
A gas discharge tube can be connected in parallel with the resistor for
lightning protection.
A restriction for TP/XF-1250 is the 8-in-16 rule, which says that the
number of nodes in an arbitrary 16-meter section of the cable cannot
exceed eight.
If circumstances require that more nodes have to be gathered at a certain
part, this can be done in two ways, while still observing the rule.
1 Add more cable between suitable nodes; remember, though, that
the maximum length of the bus is still 130 m.
2 Split the channel in two by inserting a router in such a way that the
rule is observed for each part.

ing on the network topology. Terminations are sometimes built into a
node in, for example, a linked power supply.
Free Topology Segment
In a Free Topology segment only one termination is required and can be
placed anywhere on the segment.
If there is a router or a repeater, it is convenient to put the termination
near it, generally on the “downstream” side.
If there is a supervisory PC in the segment equipped with a PCLTA
board, a termination on the board can be connected for this segment.
Doubly Terminated Bus Topology Segment
In a doubly terminated bus topology, exactly two terminations are
required – one at each end of the segment – at the true endpoints.
TP/FT-10
The termination is built from the following components, where a total
termination impedance of approximately 53
Ω is required.
Fig. 4.15: Network Terminator for a TP/FT-10 connection
Observe polarity shown for C1 and C2. These capacitors are recommended.
Free topology: one termination with R1 = 52,3 W
Doubly terminated bus topology: two terminations, one on each end of

5 Configuring your System
5.1 Overview
A TAC Xenta 280/300/401 controller is delivered as a freely programmable controller. A customer-specific application is created using the
programming tool TAC Menta.
A PC that has TAC Menta installed and running is connected, using the
Programming Serial Kit cable (part no. 007309200), to the RS232 port
of the TAC Xenta controller to be loaded. How this is done is described
in the Engineering Applications in TAC Menta manual.
During the customizing process, the online/simulation mode of TAC
Menta can also be used to monitor the input and output status of the
TAC Xenta controller. Parameter tuning can also be done from TAC
Menta.
Note
• Starting from TAC Xenta v 3.1, the application program download may also be done from TAC Vista via the network.
However, the online/simulation mode in TAC Menta still has to use the
RS232 port.
Fig. 5.1: Commissioning tool (principle of operation)
Devices have to be configured in the following situations:
• When there are I/O modules (see sections 5.3 and 5.4 of this manual)
• When there are several controllers (see section 5.5 of this manual)

5.2 A Single TAC Xenta 280/300/401 Controller
5.2.1 Initial Check
Caution
• TAC Xenta 280/300: It is important that the electronics part has
the same input/output configuration as the terminal part.
After the wires have been connected, but before the electronics part has
been mounted on the terminal part, perform these checks:
1 Turn on the power.
2 Check that the supply voltage, 24V AC or 19–40V DC, is con-
nected to the proper terminals G and G0.
3 T AC Xenta 280/300: Check that the voltage levels of the input and
output terminals are appropriate, bearing in mind their use and
possible preset values.
4 TAC Xenta 280/300: Check the voltage, both AC and DC,
between G0 and the other (labeled) terminals.
5 Repeat step 4 with G as the reference terminal.
6 Turn off the power and mount the electronics part on the terminal
part.
7 Turn on the power again.
8 If previously unloaded, load the program, using TAC Menta,
according to the method described in the Engineering Applications
in TAC Menta manual.
9 Check that the green status LED on the front starts to blink, indi-
cating that the internal program is running.

1 Connect the TAC Xenta OP to the TAC Xenta unit.
2 TAC Xenta 280/300: Select the Temp & Status menu (or equiva-
lent) to check that all inputs have appropriate values.
5.3 Two or more TAC Xenta 280/300/401 Units
5.3.1 Initial Check
Perform the steps described in section 5.2.1.
5.3.2 Device Configuration
Before it can start to communicate, each TAC Xenta unit has to be
assigned a network address (a subnet/node address and a device name).
This is done using a separate Device Configuration programming tool.
The tool is either run on a PC and started from TAC Menta or it is run
as a stand-alone tool.
The procedure is fully explained in the Engineering Applications in
TAC Menta manual.
If two or more units have the same Device name, they have to be given
unique names. This is also done using the Device Configuration tool.
The figure below indicates some of the parameters that are involved.
The use of network addresses is explained in the TAC Vista IV, Engi-
neering Classic/LNS Networks manuals.

5 Configuring your System TAC Xenta, TAC Xenta 280/300/401
5.3.3 OP Panel Activities
When an operator panel is connected to a network that includes a number of TAC Xenta controllers, the following will happen:
1 The operator panel (OP) will send a request to the network for any
TAC Xenta controller that is not occupied to start acting as a
server and send texts to the operator panel.
2 The first available Xenta controller will send a list of all the
groups in the network. These will be shown on the OP and when
one of them has been selected, the TAC Xenta controllers of the
group will be shown on the operator panel. As all TAC Xenta controllers know which other TAC Xenta controllers are present in
the network, an operator panel can be served by any TAC Xenta
controller in the network.
3 From this list, the desired TAC Xenta controller will be chosen by
the user, and the controller that first acted as a server will be
released from its duties.
4 The selected TAC Xenta controller will then supply the operator
panel with the menu on the highest level in the program.
5 TAC Xenta 280/300: Select the Temp & Status menu (or equiva-
lent) to check that all inputs have reasonable values.
6 Now select another controller from the top menu and repeat steps
5-6, as many times as required.
5.4 Additional I/O Units
5.4.1 Selecting I/O Modules
There are two types of I/O modules:
• Configured (older, for older versions of the Base unit)
• Unconfigured (newer, for Base units of version 3.2 or higher)
Note
• The TAC Xenta 280 does not use extra I/O modules.

5.4.2 Initial Check
Note
• It is important that the electronics part has the same input/output
configuration as the terminal part.
Perform these checks after the wires have been connected to the I/O
modules, but before the electronics part has been mounted on the terminal part.
1 Turn on the power.
2 Check that the supply voltage, 24V AC or 19–40V DC, is con-
nected to the proper terminals (G and G0).
3 Check that the voltage levels of the input and output terminals are
appropriate, bearing in mind their use and possible preset values.
4 Check the voltage, both AC and DC, between G0 and all the other
terminals.
5 Repeat steps 1-4 with G as the reference terminal.
6 Turn off the power and mount the electronics part on the terminal
part.
7 Turn on the power again.
8 Check the LEDs for the following:
• The red service LED on the front will now blink once.
• The green communication status LED on the front starts
flashing rapidly (about 2-3 Hz), indicating that the unit is offline.

5.4.3 I/O Module Configuration
Schneider Electric Buildings AB, June 2011 49 (74)
04-00067-02-en
An I/O module always belongs to a specific TAC Xenta controller.
Before the module can be utilized, it has to be linked to that controller
by using the Device Configuration programming tool. The tool is either
run on a PC and started from TAC Menta or it is run as a stand-alone
tool.
Page 50
5 Configuring your System TAC Xenta, TAC Xenta 280/300/401
The procedure is described in the manual Engineering Applications in
TAC Menta.
In some versions of TAC Xenta OP, these items can also be set from the
Service menu. This is described in chapter 6 (‘IO Module Config’) of
this manual. Please note that this menu can only be reached from the
Service access level.
The figure below indicates some of the parameters that are involved.
The use of network addresses is described in the TAC Vista IV, Engi-
neering Classic/LNS Networks manuals.

About 45 seconds after the configuration procedure has completed, the
green LED should start to blink at a rate of about once every other second. This will indicate that the unit is communicating with the application in the Base unit.
5.5 Setting the Date and Time
Set the current date and time from TAC Menta during commissioning
(Online mode). The setting affects only the controller that is connected
to TAC Menta. Please refer to the Engineering Applications in TAC
Menta manual for further details.
Date and time can also be set from the TAC Xenta OP, if the operator
has logged on at the appropriate access level (usually the medium level).
For details, refer to the TAC Xenta OP Handbook.
If the controllers are connected to a supervisory system like TAC Vista,
the date and time can be set in all units with one command from TAC
Vista.
Network address:
- Subnet no. 1
- Node no. 14
A TAC Xenta Master unit broadcasts its clock time once every
24 hours.
In both cases, the date and time are sent periodically. This will ensure
that even if some units are offline when the time data is sent, they will
eventually be updated with the values from the central system or, with
regards to standalone, from the Master.

TAC Vista sends the time in GMT format. The time value is transformed in each separate TAC Xenta to the valid time zone and the current standard or daylight saving time.
5.6 Clearing the Xenta Application
If a Xenta 280/300/401 application has crashed and refuses to accept a
new download, both from Vista and Menta, there is a way to clear the
application (Xenta version 3.61 or higher).
1 Manufacture a jack with the following pins short-circuited.
Fig. 5.6: A “Clear application” device
2 Turn off power to the controller.
3 Put the jack in the RS232 port.
4 Turn on power to the controller; a forced Clear Application will be
made.
5 Remove the jack.
5.7 Lock a Xenta OP to a specific TAC Xenta Controller
You can lock a Xenta OP to a specific TAC Xenta 280/300/401 controller.
To be able to do this you have to enable the function by adding a PVI
block in the Menta application in the Xenta and enable the function in
the Xenta OP.
5.7.1 Creating the PVI-block in the Xenta
1 Create a Public PVI-block with the name XENTASYSREG and
set this block’s initial value to 8.

Fig. 5.7: XENTASYSREG With the initial value to 8
If you have multiple TAC Xenta OP panels in the network, each one
connected to a specific Xenta Controller, you have to create this special
PVI block in every one of these Xenta Controller’s Menta code.
5.7.2 Enabling the function in TAC Xenta OP
1 Open the TAC Xenta OP local service menu.
2 Press and hold the “escape” and “enter” buttons for a few seconds.
3 Enter the bottom command: “11 OP connects to”.
4 Enter this sub-command, and then type in, using “+” or “-“, the
specific T AC Xenta controller’ s subnet and node you want t his OP
to be “locked” to.
The TAC Xenta controller subnet and node addresses can easily be
found in TAC Vista Workstation; select “properties” for the TAC Xenta
controller and the subnet / node will be displayed.
Note
• When you select, in the OP panel’s new menu, the node number
and press enter the TAC Xenta OP will restart and seek for the
selected TAC Xenta controller.
• It will still be possible to access the TAC Xenta controller from
another T AC Xenta OP in the network if the TAC Xenta OP is of
a version prior to 3.70 or if the lock-function is not enabled in the
TAC Xenta OP. Ho wever doing t his, you will only h ere also “see
the local Xenta controller”. In this case you will be able to exit
this TAC Xenta controller again by pressing “escape”. While in
the locked TAC Xenta OP you will not be able to exit from the
TAC Xenta controller it is locked to.

A Appendix A Restart Values
There are two kinds of memory in the controller:
1 RAMworking memory, cu rrent val ues;
the contents will be lost after 72 hours without power
2 Flash program memory, nonvolatile storage memory
Certain items which are used in RAM are also saved in the Flash mem-
ory when the value is changed, so that they will not be lost during
lengthy power outages.
The Flash memory is also the location of the original application and the
trend log definition values. These are the values specified in the most
recent application downloaded from TAC Menta.
During a restart, whether caused by a power outage or by operator
demand, it is important to know which start values will apply.
Below are some examples of the value as taken from RAM, from the
value saved in Flash memory, or from the original application value
(also in Flash memory).
• Internal status and output values of Function Blocks
(may affect the control of actuators, fans, or other equipment)
• PV Blocks, for example, the set values
(it may be important not to lose the newly adjusted set values)
• Public parameters
(values which affect other nodes of the plant)
• Trend log definition
(log channels, log interval, storage area)
• Trend log data
(stored values)
• Optimization parameters
(automatically adjusted values, taking a long time to settle)
• Time parameters
(local time zone, current Daylight Saving Time status)
• Modem parameters
(such as phone numbers, dial-up interval, and initialization com-
mands)
During a restart, the system has to have usable start values in the work-
ing areas of RAM. The start values used will depend on:

• which type of restart has been ordered,
• Whether or not the content of RAM is still valid (<
power outage
) and
72 h after a
• Whether or not the Backup boxes for the Function and PV Blocks
in TAC Menta have been checked
If the Backup box has been checked, this means that as soon as a value
has changed, the system will save it and use it as a start value during a
Warm start and, with regards to the PV Blocks, during a Cold start as
well.
The Public parameters (which do not use RAM at all) and certain calculated OPT values are always saved in the Flash memory.
The table below shows the principal storage locations.

PV Blocks x (default) Flash
Public parameters (always) Flash

Certain OPT values (always) Flash
Time parameters (always) Flash
Modem parameters (always) Flash
Applied to the three types of restart, this gives us:
• Warm start (operator request or due to power outage <72 h;
RAM intact)
Almost all values are the current ones, kept in RAM; among them
are the trend log definitions and data. An event is added to the trend
log data, stating that a Warm start has occurred.
Exception:
Function Block internal state values, if Backup was not checked, in
which case the original values will be used instead.
• Cold start (operator request or due to power outage >72 h; RAM
not intact)
Almost all values (for example all Function Block internal state
values) are retrieved from the original application values resident
in the Flash memory. The trend log definitions are re-stored in the
RAM, based on the stored values in the Flash memory, while the
trend log values are being cleared.
