  • Page 2 X-18s™ Users Manual X-18s User Manual Revisions Revision Description Initial release Adjusted relay ratings Page 2 Xytronix Research & Design, Inc.

  • Page 3: Section 1: Introduction

    Form-C contacts (SPDT). Wiring connections are made to the relays using 1/4” tab terminals located on top of the relays. One or more X-18s expansion modules can be connected to an X- 600M controller with ribbon cables.

  • Page 4: Features And Connectors

    Ethernet switch. The communications cable can be a daisy chain with multiple connectors. The X-18s has two expansion bus connectors (one on each end) which allow the use of short ribbon cables to connect from one module to the next.

  • Page 5: Section 2: Installation And Connections

    Expansion modules are normally mounted to the left side of the X-600M controller (embossed logo side) so that the ribbon cable doesn't cover the power connector. The X-18s must be located in a clean, dry location where it is protected from the elements. See Appendix E: Mechanical Dimensions for additional mechanical details.

  • Page 7: Making Connections

    The photo in in section 2.2 (above) illustrates how to connect the X-18s. The photo shows an X-600M (on the right) connected to an X-18s module using the ribbon cable that came with the X-18s. To the left of the X-18s are two additional “small” expansion modules (X-12s and X15s). The X- 18s is connected to these modules using a multi-connector ribbon cable with four connectors.

  • Page 8: Power Supply

    X-600M master. The 10-pin ribbon cable has connections which allow the X-600M to power X-11s, X-12s etc modules. These power connections flow thru the X-18s from one ribbon cable connector to the other, but are not connected to its internal power supply.

  • Page 9: Section 3: Example Applications

    3.1 Control a device over an IP network The illustration below shows a simple example of using the X-18s to control a device over an IP network. The device to be controlled is wired in series with the relay contacts.

  • Page 10: Section 4: Configuration And Setup

    After making the power and Ethernet connections, the X-600M can automatically scan for the presence of any ControlByWeb™ Ethernet devices (on the same sub-net) and also for any expansion modules connected to the X-600M via the ribbon-cable connector. It can also automatically create a dashboard web page and populate it with all of the resources (components) supported by the Ethernet devices and expansion modules if specified while adding the device.
  • Page 11 Configuration and Setup 2. In this example we are going to add an X-18s expansion module. Click the Add button for the X-18s. 3. In the Select column, click the checkboxes of the I/O components you would like to configure and select the Create Device Widget option (This will display the status of the I/O on the Dashboard).
  • Page 12 Configuration and Setup X-18s™ Users Manual 4. Click Commit Changes - Once clicked, the X-600M begins to monitor the newly added device. 5. On the main menu, click the View Dashboards menu tab. The View Dashboards page shows a display similar to what users will see when accessing the X-600M's control page. Use this page to test and debug the dashboards, panels, widgets and components in real time.
