This is very important where property loss or human life is involved. It is important that you perform satisfactory overall system design and it is agreed between you and Acromag, that this is your responsibility.
Channels are conveniently setup, calibrated, and pre‐checked offline via a USB connection to any Windows‐based PC (Windows XP and later versions only) running model‐specific configuration software. Network communication parameters are setup over the network using a Profinet Configuration tool. Acromag, Inc. Tel: 248‐295‐0880 ‐ 4 ‐ http://www.acromag.com...
DIN rail, allowing cool air to enter in through the bottom vents and warm air to exhaust out the top vents. Above 55°C, a space of at least 20mm between modules is recommended to aide cooling in this manner. Acromag, Inc. Tel: 248‐295‐0880 ‐ 5 ‐ http://www.acromag.com...
As a rule, input wires are normally separated from power and network wiring for safety and isolation, as well as for low noise pickup. Acromag, Inc. Tel: 248‐295‐0880 ‐ 6 ‐ http://www.acromag.com...
CAUTION: DO NOT EXCEED 36VDC, OR DAMAGE TO THE UNIT MAY RESULT. NOTE: IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT SUPPLIES CAPABLE OF DELIVERING MORE THAN 2.5A TO THE BUS BE FUSED WITH A HIGH SURGE TOLERANT FUSE. Acromag, Inc. Tel: 248‐295‐0880 ‐ 7 ‐ http://www.acromag.com...
Important – End Stops: If this module uses the optionally powered (or redundantly powered) via the DIN rail bus for hazardous location installations (Class I, Division 2 or ATEX Zone 2) it must use two end stops (Acromag 1027‐222) to secure the terminal block and module (not shown).
(i.e. each input with respect to a common return connection). The XT1233‐000 model has 16 Single‐Ended DC current inputs, while the XT1243‐000 model has 16 Single‐Ended DC voltage inputs. An optional current sensor (Acromag model 5020‐350) may be used with the XT1233‐000 to additionally monitor AC currents.

It is a combinational acronym taken from its language XML (eXtensible Markup Language) and its function GSD (General Station Description). For this device, the file is GSDML‐V2.30‐Acromag‐XT1233‐xxxxxxxx.xml, where xxxxxxxx = YYYYMMDD of the revision (YearMonthDay). V2.30 deals with the version of the GSDML schematic that the file was based on.
