XP 100

Overview

The XP100 product line includes a complete range of smart expansion modules for Nethix remote control devices. They are developed for the integration with Nethix WE120. The communication between the modules and the host is made through a standard communication protocol, that is Modbus RTU compatible on RS485 multipoint line.

The XP100 devices interface directly with most of the common process signals (tensions, currents, temperatures etc..) and contain the necessary circuits for acquisition, for signal conditioning and for analogue-to-digital conversion.

The XP100-line includes:

  • Digital I/O Expansion module with 6-Inputs 6-Outputs: includes 6 PNP/NPN isolated digital inputs and 6 relays outputs
  • Digital I/O Expansion with 16-Inputs: includes 16 PNP/NPN isolated digital inputs.
  • Analog I/O Expansion with 4-Inputs: includes 4 configurable analog inputs

This document presents all necessary technical information for the installation and the operation of the XP100 expansion modules. For a proper use of the devices it’s recommended to read carefully the present sheet. The information contained in the present document can be updated at any time without notice.

Inputs configuration

The configuration of the analog inputs needs 2 indispensable steps:

  • To operate on the dip-switch placed on the board.
  • To put in communication the expansion and the software Genesys, through a WE120.

Every dip-switch (composed of 4 pin) is linked to an analog input (the dip-switches are sorted like the input ports). This allow to set up every dip-switch indipendently from the others. 

It is possible to set up every inputs in 5 modes: 0-5 V, 0-10 V, 0-20 mA, PT100 o NTC.
