XA output-only devices must be at address 245 or below
. Any XA output-only devices on
the loop with an address
above
245 must be readdressed before programming.
You must account for all XA devices in the FACP programming. XA devices that are
unprogrammed (for example, XALIC point three is not programmed, but a device exists on
the XA loop with an address of three) will cause an extra device trouble.
XA devices report three status conditions, whereas FACP IDNet devices report four status
conditions. The XA device status conditions map to IDNet conditions as follows.
Table 4. Mapping of XA Device Status and IDNet Status

N/A Short
Circuit
Because XA loop devices do not report a short circuit condition, it is not possible to support
the WSO or WSC FACP point types. Do not assign these point types to a FACP XALIC
point.
The Point Type you assign to the XALIC address determines the function of the point. For
example, if you assign a FIRE point type, an alarm condition occurs if the state of the XA
address goes abnormal. Likewise, if you assign a UTILITY point type to the address, the
state of the XALIC address is either ON or OFF.
Follow these steps to program XALIC points.
1. Add the XALIC Card to the job. See the corresponding chapter in the
ES Panel
Programmer’s Manual
(574-849) for information on doing this.
2. Click on the Hardware Tab. Expand the Unit/Box/Bay icons containing the XALIC card.
Double click on the XALIC card icon and choose the Point Editing tab, as shown in the
screen example below.
3. Examine the Point Name field and identify the name of the point you want to edit. Before the
Device Type is programmed, the Point Name will have a 0 in the subpoint (last) field. (M2-5-
0, for example). Remember that the number in the middle corresponds to the XA Device
number on the Autocall side.
4. Click on the point name and then click on the Device Type drop down list box and select the
appropriate device type, as follows:
Points 1-245. Select the TRIAM device type if the corresponding XA device is an
input/output device. Select the RIAM device type if the XA device is an output only
device.
Points 246-255. Select the MLPTIO device type. (Output-only devices are not allowed
within this address range.)
After you select the Device Type, the screen updates to display the subpoints.
