Page 78: Solid-State Digital Outputs
While these electronic protections work in most applications, some application may require external fusing on these outputs. The digital outputs in the XL7 OCS are typically controlled via %Q bits in the register mapping. Some of the outputs are designed for high-speed applications and can be used for PWM or frequency output applications.
Page 79: Relay Outputs
Relay outputs are designed to switch loads that typically have high voltage or current requirements or require the isolation that relays provide. NOTE: The design of the XL7 OCS does not require external coil power for the relays to function. The relays will activate anytime the XL7 OCS is powered.
Page 80 MAN0974-11-EN_XL7_UserManual Protection for Inductive Loads Inductive loads can cause reverse currents when they shut off that can shorten the life of relay contacts. Some protective measures need to be determined by an engineer. If you have questions on protection from inductive load, consult Horner Automation Technical Support. Details on devices that may protect outputs can be found in the Spark Quencher Datasheet, MAN0962.

Page 87: High Speed Counter (Hsc) Functions
MAN0974-11-EN_XL7_UserManual High Speed Counter (HSC) Functions The XL7 supports two very high speed, configurable counters. There are four dedicated inputs that can be configured to a number of different options. Each of the two counters can run in one of five modes. Those modes are Totalizer, Frequency Counter, Pulse Width Measurement, Period Measurement and Quadrature measurement.
Page 88 MAN0974-11-EN_XL7_UserManual 9.3.2 Totalize In totalize mode, the accumulator is simply incremented or decremented each time the input transitions in a specific direction. The totalizer supports the following modes: Internal This mode ties the input to the counter to an internal 10MHz or 1MHz clock.
Page 89 MAN0974-11-EN_XL7_UserManual Rising Edge Signal Falling Edge Signal Three different options are available to reset the current count. They are: • Configured reset value Counts per When configuring the Totalize function, a value may be specified under the column. When the totalizer accumulator reaches this value - 1, the accumulator will reset to zero on the next count.
Page 90 MAN0974-11-EN_XL7_UserManual 9.3.3 Pulse Width Measurement In pulse width measurement mode, the high-speed input can measure the width of a pulse stream in one of two modes and provides a continuous indication of the last sampled value. In this mode the Disable and Latch special functions are allowed. Refer to the HSC Glossary for a description of these functions.
Page 91 MAN0974-11-EN_XL7_UserManual 9.3.4 Period Measurement In period measurement mode, the high-speed input can measure the period of a pulse stream in one of two modes and provides a continuous indication of the last sampled value. In this mode, the Disable and Latch special functions are allowed. Refer to the HSC Glossary for a description of these functions.
Page 92 MAN0974-11-EN_XL7_UserManual 9.3.5 Quadrature Quadrature mode uses two HSC inputs, any of the four HSC inputs can be assigned for this purpose. Quadrature mode works much like the totalizer except the accumulator will automatically increment or decrement based on the rotation phase of the two inputs. See the following example for more details.
Page 93 MAN0974-11-EN_XL7_UserManual 9.3.6 Register Match Totalizer & Quadrature counter modes support a register match function. When the accumulator value matches either the Match 1 or Match 2 value configured in the corresponding %AQ registers, a high-speed output can Turn On, Turn Off, or Toggle. An internal %I register mirrors the output state whether the high-speed output is configured or not.
Page 94 MAN0974-11-EN_XL7_UserManual 9.3.7 HSC Functions The high-speed input on the XL7 contains many optional tasks. All of which can be disabled, or set to an internal pre-assigned register (Assigned %Q) or to one of the external high speed inputs (External Input #1, 2, 3, or 4), or they can be set as an “overflow interrupt” or “underflow interrupt”...
Page 95 MAN0974-11-EN_XL7_UserManual 9.3.8 Status Bits There are three status bits (%I registers for each high-speed counter). Overflow Flag: This status bit turns high when the Accumulator “overflows”, it moves from 4,294,967,295 (-1 if Signed) to 0, this bit can be reset with the “Output Reset Bit”. See Table 9.4.

Page 99: High Speed Output Functions
MAN0974-11-EN_XL7_UserManual High Speed Output Functions On units that support high-speed output functions, two dedicated outputs are available that can be configured for one of four modes of operation. Those modes are Normal, PWM, HSC Match and Stepper. 9.5.1 Normal When either Q1 or Q2 is configured for Normal operation, the digital output registers %Q1 and %Q2 drives that respective output.
Page 100 MAN0974-11-EN_XL7_UserManual At controller power-up or during a download, the PWM output is maintained at zero until both the Frequency and the Duty cycle are loaded with non-zero values. When the controller is placed in PWM State on Controller Stop stop mode, the state of the PWM outputs is dependent on the configuration.
Page 101 9.5.5 Stepper Function The XL7 supports two stepper functions, one on each high-speed output when in two counter mode. In four counter mode, the XL7 supports one stepper function The Stepper requires five parameters (%AQs) to be set for operation. These parameters may be set at run-time but are ‘latched’...
Page 102 MAN0974-11-EN_XL7_UserManual The stepper provides two Boolean registers to provide stepper status: A high indication on this register indicates the stepper sequence can Ready/Done be started (i.e. not currently busy) and also when the move is completed. A high indication on this register indicates that one of the analog parameters specified above is invalid or the stepper action was Error aborted before the operation was complete.

MAN0974-11-EN_XL7_UserManual HSC I/O Filtering This feature is used to enable digital Filter for HSC Inputs. Selecting Digital In/HSC configuration opens up the following dialog where in HSC I/O Filtering is available. Input signal is filtered based on the filter frequency and Number of samples selected. User has to select Filter Frequency and Number of samples based on the frequency of the Input signal.
Page 107 MAN0974-11-EN_XL7_UserManual The state (high or low) of the high-speed input is sampled with every rising input edge of the filter frequency. The rising edges of the filter frequency are totaled in a sample counter, and when that total equals the number of samples configured, the sample counter is reset. If the high-speed input state did not change by the time of the sample counter reset, that state, high or low, is passed on to the high-speed accumulator.

Page 109: Chapter 10: Serial Communications
10.1 Overview All XL7 OCS models provide two independent serial ports, on the first 8-pin modular RJ45 connector, which is labeled MJ1/MJ2. The MJ1 serial port is RS232 while the MJ2 port is RS485. By default, MJ1 can be connected to the COM port of a PC running Cscape, for OCS programming.
Page 110: Rs485 Termination
MAN0974-11-EN_XL7_UserManual Figure 10.2 – Dip Switches 10.4 RS485 Termination Proper RS485 termination minimizes signal reflections and improves reliability. Both the MJ2 and MJ3 serial ports allow an internal termination resistor to be placed across Pins 1 and 2 by DIP Switch Setting. Only the two devices physically located at the endpoints of the RS485 network should be terminated.
Page 111: Cscape Programming Via Serial Port
The XL7 OCS MJ1 and MJ3 serial ports support CsCAN Programming Protocol. If a PC COM port is connected to the XL7 OCS MJ1 or MJ3 serial port, Cscape can access the XL7 OCS for programming and monitoring. Programming can also be done via the CAN port, USB A port, or Ethernet.
Page 112: Chapter 11: Can Communications
11.2 Port Description The XL7 OCS CAN ports implement the ISO 11898-2 physical layer and the CAN 2.0 A data link layer standards. Also, since the CAN ports are powered by an internal isolated power supply, external CAN power is not required.
Page 113: Can Port Wiring
The CAN1 port supports CsCAN Programming Protocol. If a PC has a CAN interface installed (via PCI card or USB), and the PC CAN port is connected to the XL7 OCS CAN1 port, Cscape can access the XL7 OCS for programming and monitoring.

To transfer data between the OCS and remote target, a Scan List must be created that defines each transaction.
Page 127: Data Mapping Configuration (Scan List Entry)
MAN0974-11-EN_XL7_UserManual 13.6 Data Mapping Configuration (Scan List Entry) Update Type This field specifies the direction and what triggers the transfer of data between the OCS and target device for a mapping entry. Polled Read On every transaction scan, a read-only target device register(s) transaction occurs. Polled Read/Write On every transaction scan, a read target device register transaction occurs unless a local register value has changed.
Page 128 MAN0974-11-EN_XL7_UserManual Polled Read/Write/Init On every transaction scan, a read target device register transaction occurs unless a local register value has changed. The write transaction only updates those local registers that have changed in value. If several non-consecutive local registers (contained in a single mapping entry) change value between transaction scans, it takes several consecutive scans to write each changed register.
Page 129: Chapter 14: User Interface
This chapter presents the user interface (or operator view) of the XL7 and some of the model specific characteristics of the XL7 as compared to the rest of the OCS line. This chapter does NOT cover building screens or using the Cscape graphics editor. For instructions on creating screens and using the graphics editor, refer to the graphics editor help file.
Page 130: Displaying And Entering Data
Multiple objects are provided for displaying data such as virtual panel lights, push buttons, numeric value displays, bar graphs, meters, graphs and animated bitmaps. On the XL7, these graphical objects (through ladder manipulation of attribute bits) can change color, flash or change visibility to attract operator attention.
Page 131: Alpha-Numeric Keypad
MAN0974-11-EN_XL7_UserManual 14.4 Alpha-numeric Keypad To allow entry of a specific number or text, several of the input objects invoke a pop-up alpha- numeric keypad when the object is touched. An example of the alpha-numeric keypad invoked from a numeric input object is shown in Figure 14.2. Once invoked, the operator may touch the appropriate keys to enter a specific value.
Page 132 MAN0974-11-EN_XL7_UserManual Enter Once the desired value is entered, pressing the key moves that value into the object (and the corresponding OCS register) and the alpha-numeric keypad disappears. Alternately, Enter pressing the key any time before the key cancels the operation, leaves the objects current value unchanged, and the alpha-numeric keypad disappears.

MAN0974-11-EN_XL7_UserManual 19.5 AutoRun This System Menu option, when enabled (YES), allows the user to automatically place the OCS into RUN mode after the AutoLoad operation or automatic Restore Data operation. When the AutoRun setting is disabled (NO), the OCS remains in the IDLE mode after a Restore Data or AutoLoad operation.
Page 173: Chapter 20: Modbus Communications
Modbus (serial) is a popular, de-facto standard protocol that allows industrial devices from multiple manufacturers to easily share data in real-time. For Modbus serial communications, the XL7 can act as either a Master or a Slave. Modbus protocol (serial) allows for one master and multiple slaves. The master always initiates the conversation by sending a request to a particular slave.
Page 174: Modbus Master Overview
For complete Modbus Master instructions, please refer to the Help file in Cscape. When acting as a Modbus master, there are two primary mechanisms used by the XL7 to allow the user to specify the data to be read/written from/to the slaves.
Page 175: Modbus Addressing Table
MAN0974-11-EN_XL7_UserManual 20.4 Modbus Addressing Table To access XL7 registers, a Modbus Master must be configured with the appropriate register type and offset. This is usually accomplished with one of two methods: Method 1: The first method uses Traditional Modbus References, in which the high digit represents the register type and the lower digits represent the register offset (starting with Register 1 for each type).
Page 176: Chapter 21: Back-Up Battery
NOTE: For more details on the back-up battery, refer to the Battery Manual [MAN1142]. 21.1 Overview The XL7 has an advanced battery system that uses a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. The battery powers the real time clock when power is removed and is needed for register data retention.
Page 177: Battery Charging Cycle
The battery is steadily discharging. 21.7 Battery Charging State In the RCC, XL4, XL7, EXL6, and EXL10, the program downloaded from Cscape is not battery backed. The program is stored in flash memory RAM at the time of download. The battery plays no part in program retention.

Page 181: Backup Battery
MAN0974-11-EN_XL7_UserManual 22.5 Backup Battery The XL7 has an advanced battery system that uses a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. The battery powers the real time clock when power is removed. To store registers, the battery continues to power the OCS for less than a second after external power is removed. In this time the registers and other retentive data is saved to internal flash memory.
Page 182 Make sure the user program and any data stored in retentive memory is backed up. 2. Disconnect all power from the XL7 OCS unit including I/O power. 3. On the back of the XL7 OCS, unscrew the battery plate cover using a Phillips head screwdriver.
