XCA MODULES PUSH-BUTTON CONTROL The XCA system provides for an integral membrane push-button interface module or, as an option, a membrane switch overlaid on the rim of the system frame. The latter design allows full use of all module position input channels in each system. All external push buttons are interfaced through the interface module. The system alarm input modules provide self-generating flash signals that operate the flash sequence on indicators independently. All module flash generators are synchronized by the interface module. AUXILIARY CONTACT MODULES The Auxiliary Contact Modules are available for the XCA Window Annunciator with a separate relay circuit for each window. The modules plug in from the front of the system. They may be purchased initially, or added later in the field without any additional system components. Each relay provides for a form A or B type contact, normally open or normally closed, and normally energized or normally not energized, and is selectable by a jumper switch. 0
COMMUNICATION / PROTOCOLS The Ronan XCA Window Annunciators have comprehensive serial alarm communication facilities to interface to Host machines and transfer field input status to, or receive alarm data from PLCs, DCSs, Network Servers and Computers. MODBUS RTU SLAVE The MODBUS RTU Slave protocol allows users of PLCs and DCSs that are operating as MODBUS Masters to periodically acquire the status of annunciator inputs or transmit alarms to the annunciator for process monitoring. Status of the annunciator is continuously updated in a pre-defined Memory Register Map which complies to the MODBUS protocol. The Host (MODBUS Master) periodically reads or writes to the Memory Register Map serially using pre-defined MODBUS command sets. The data is then used for process monitoring. Events XCA-IM DCS, PLC or Computer XCA ALLEN BRADLEY DF INTERFACE The Allen Bradley DF protocol allows users of AB PLCs to periodically acquire or transmit alarm data to or from the annunciator for monitoring and control. The input status is periodically transmitted as a bitmap complying to the DF protocol. The PLC provides an open serial port to send or receive the bitmap status.
COMMUNICATION / PROTOCOLS NETWORK TCP/IP Transport Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) The Ronan XCA provides as an optional connection to a local or plant network using the XCA-IM interface module and XCA-NM network converter module. The input alarm status is transmitted or received via TCP/IP at speeds of up to 0 MB all across the network. Typical TCP/IP Address 9.8.0. 0 Base T Ethernet 0 Base T XCA-IM XCA-NM Network Hub XCA Other Network Device Plant Network RONAN PROPRIETARY (/) The XCA provides features to serially transmit input alarm status to external host devices through XCA-IM.
