Warning
The TAC Xenta 400 I/O modules and the other products of the
TAC Xenta family must not be used for any other purpose than those
for which they were designed.
Installation, connection and repair may only be performed by authorized personnel.
The TAC Xenta freely-programmable controllers consist of the following units.
•The TAC Xenta 301/302/401 controller . The controller is the brain
of the system. It contains the database of the inputs and outputs of
the plant. It also contains the system and application software for
all the functions that are to be performed by the controller and
connected peripheral units.
•I/O expansion modules, which provide the inputs and outputs of
the TAC Xenta controller.
•The TAC Xenta OP is an easy-to-us e operator panel, with a dis-
play . The values are presented in plain language in a menu system.
The OP can be connected to any controller in the network.

A number of controllers and I/O modules can form a local network and
exchange data.
The TAC Xenta OP operator panel is used to give the user access to certain parameters and make it possible to present alarms without communicating with a central system. The most important functions of the
operator panel are status monitoring, adjustment of setpoints and time
channels and the display of alarms.
A maximum of two OPs may be connected to each controller.
The I/O modules are used as expansion modules for the TAC Xenta
controllers, connected to these via the common TP/FT-10 network.
The modules have different I/O configurations to suit different applications. Some models have indicators for the digital input status and a
manual override for the digital or analog outputs. An overview of the
available models is shown below.
