Commissioning Distributed I/O Modules
Previous to V2.04.x controller firmware, Distributed I/O
modules were used only on a local L
ON
W
ORKS
bus con-
nected to a single Excel 500 controller. Concurrent with the
release of V2.04.x firmware is the release of the XFL52xB
Distributed I/O modules with updated firmware and with a
new Neuron chip which make them fully L
ON
M
ARK
compliant.
This means that multiple Excel 500 controllers, each with its
own Distributed I/O modules, as well as third-party L
ON
M
ARK
compliant devices, can coexist and interoperate on the same
L
ON
W
ORKS
bus. Furthermore, the XFL52xB modules can be
used as third-party devices with other L
ON
M
ARK
compliant
products, independently of an Excel 500 controller.
IMPORTANT:
Full L
ON
M
ARK
functionality requires an Excel 500
controller with V2.04.x firmware, a 3120E5 Neuron
chip, and Distributed I/O modules XFL52xB.
An Excel 500 controller with V2.4.x firmware and
3120E5 Neuron chip will commission earlier ver-
sions of Distributed I/O modules (XFL52x,
XFL52xA), but only in the local mode (max 16
modules per CPU and no other controllers on the
L
ON
W
ORKS
bus).
Distributed I/O modules XFL52xB can be used with
older versions of Excel 500 that support Distributed
I/O, but only if the modules are switched into a
different mode. This is accomplished by pressing the
service pin while simultaneously turning the HEX
address switch. This mode can be cancelled by
pressing the service pin for more than three
seconds.

The term "local" refers to an operating mode in which a maximum of 16 modules are assigned (automatically) to each con-
troller and only a single controller is connected to each L
ON
W
ORKS
bus.
The term "shared" means that a maximum of 16 modules are assigned (manually) to each controller, but that multiple con-
trollers can be connected to a single L
ON
W
ORKS
bus.
The term "open" refers to an open L
ON
W
ORKS
system, i.e. the use of CARE to generate a L
ON
M
ARK
compliant network
interface file (XIF) capable of providing NVs which can be bound to other devices (Excel 50 or Excel 10 controllers, third-
party devices); further, the limitation of max. 16 modules per controller can also be exceeded.
