XCL8010AU, I/O Modules on Single Rail
► Connect XCL8010AU Controller Module and I/O modules
using the bridge connectors.
This provides power supply and communication connection.
No further wiring is necessary.
Multiple Rails in Single Cabinet
The multiple rails of a controller system are connected in
series.
► Connect the rail ends as follows:
– Power supply
via power supply terminals 73, 74 or 77, 78
– Communication
via communication terminals 71, 72 or 75, 76

LonWorks Bus I/O Modules in Separate Rooms
In this scenario, only communication lines must be connected
between the rooms.
► Connect the last module of room 1 to the first module of
room 2:

How to Connect Panel Bus and LONWORKS
Bus Mixed Controller Systems
Connecting I/O Modules
For connecting the I/O modules with each other, proceed as
described for single-bus controller systems.
Connecting I/O Modules to the XCL8010AU
Panel Bus I/O Modules
► Connect communication terminals 71 ─ 74 or 75 ─ 78 of
Panel Bus I/O modules to communication terminals 71 ─
74 or 75 ─ 78 of the XCL8010AU Controller Module using
either
– Bridge connectors
for flush mounting on a single DIN rail or
– Cables
for separate mounting, e.g., on multiple rails, separate
cabinets, etc.
