Fig. 1 XNE-SWIRE module in a XI/ON CANopen station with 4 SWIRE slaves
2.1
Features
The XNE-1SWIRE makes it possible to operate an SWIRE bus with up to 16 SWIRE
slaves. A 6-core cable is used here for power and data transfer. A XI/ON station can
contain max. 3 XNE-1SWIRE modules.
The voltage U
AUX
for supplying the relays and the U
SW
for supplying the electronic
equipment must be connected separately on the XNE-1SWIRE. Both power
supplies must be fed from a power supply unit although it is possible to disconnect
U
AUX
separately. The SWIRE slaves and the accessories must be purchased from
the appropriate manufacturer.
The Eaton XNE-1SWIRE can be run both locally on a XI/ON PLC (e.g.
XN-PLC-CANopen) or remotely as a module in a remote XI/ON station.
The maximum number of XNE-1SWIRE modules per XI/ON station is restricted by:
•
the number of process data, diagnostics, parameter and configuration bytes of
the XNE-1SWIRE:
• 8 bytes input data
• 8 bytes output data
• 24 bytes parameter data
• 8 bytes diagnostics data
•
and the fieldbus system used.
From version VN 01-04, XNE-1SWIRE can be run in conformance with the Moeller
SmartWire standard. For this the «Moeller Conformance» function has been imple-
mented. See Chapter 6 Moeller SWIRE conformance criteria, Page 51.
