safe.
XL series communication ED module features:
➢
XL series communication ED module is used to extend RS232 or RS485 port
➢
XL-NES-ED can be used as the left extension module of XL series PLC, but
for RS232 and RS485, only can use one of them.
➢
XL-NES-ED is chip design, small size.
Safety precautions
◼
Control system design attentions
Dangerous!
◆ Make sure design the safety circuit, to ensure that the control system can still work
safety when the external power supply cut off or PLC broken.
◆ Make sure set emergency braking circuit, protection circuit, interlock circuit of
forward-reverse running in PLC external circuit and upper-lower limit switch to
prevent from machine damage.
◆ In order to make the equipment safe operation, please design external protection
circuit for important output signal.
◆ PLC CPU will close all the output when detecting the system error; the output will
lose control when the PLC circuit has problem. Please design suitable external control
circuit to ensure the device working normally.
◆ If the PLC relay or transistor unit is broken, the output cannot be ON or OFF.
◆ The PLC is designed for indoor environment, the lightning protection must be
installed in the power supply system to avoid PLC and other device damage.
◼
Installation and wiring attentions
Dangerous!
◆ Do not use the PLC in the following environment: dust, soot, corrosive gases,
flammable gas, high temperature, condensation, vibration, impact, lightning, fire.
◆ Do not let the metal scrap and wire head drop into the ventilation hole of PLC,
otherwise it will cause fire or error operation.
◆ Do not cover the ventilation hole of PLC, otherwise it will cause fire, error operation.
◆ The I/O wiring must be fixed enough, otherwise the bad contactor will cause fault.
Attention!
◆ It can use external power supply for extension module DC24V power.
◆ Please use shield cable for high frequency I/O wiring to avoid interference.
◼
Run and maintenance
Dangerous!
◆ Please connect all the cable include PLC, extension module and BD board after
shutting down the power supply.
◆ Please operate as the manual for online operation, forced output, RUN, STOP.
Attention!
◆ Please discard the product as industrial waste.
◆ Make sure cut off the power supply when installing or uninstalling the extension card.

Product dimension and installation
◼
Product installation
① Find the COM3 port on the left side
②Push the sliding latch on the top and
of the PLC and the right side of the
bottom of the module. Fix the module,
module, and install them in alignment, as
as shown in the figure below:
shown in the following figure:
Note: please install in the state of power failure. Do not operate with power on!
◼
Installation notes
Do not install the module in below environment:
• Direct sunlight
• Environment temperature out of range 0-50℃
• Environment humidity out of range 35%-85% RH
• Condensation as severe changes in temperature
• Corrosive gas and flammable gas
• Dust, iron filing, salt, fume
• Vibration and impact
• Spray oil, water and medicine
• Strong magnetic field and strong electric field

Configuration mode
Parameter configuration of XL series extended communication ED module requires
XDPpro software V3.5.1 and above version or Xinje config tool to configure.
If the extended ED module is only used for RS232 or RS485 communication, it can be
configured through XDPpro software or Xinje config tool. If the extension ED module is
used for X-NET communication, please configure through Xinje config tool.
● Configure the RS232 or RS485 through XDPpro software V3.5.1 and up
Click configure/PLC comm port settings in the XDPpro software:
Click modbus in the following window:
Please choose COM3 in the follow window, other paramreters please set as you need. After
setting, click write to PLC. Then cut the power of PLC and power on again to make the
settings effective.
● XINJEConfig can configure the Modbus and X-NET mode of extension ED module.
Here will explain how to configure the X-NET mode through Xinje config tool.
Installation of XINJEConfig
Please find the XNetSetUp.exe in the XDPpro installation folder. Double click it to install
the Xinje config tool.
Using steps of XINJEConfig
Here we take an example of two XL3-16T PLCs communicate in X-NET mode through
the XL-NES-ED.
Note: when using software to configure PLC, first use USB download cable to connect
PLC with computer. The USB download cable here is the download cable of the HMI, as
shown in the following figure:
The USB download cable can only be used after installing the driver. Since the current
USB driver is built into Xinjeconfig tool, the USB driver will be installed automatically
after installing Xinjeconfig tool.
Double click
to open the Xinje config tool.
