Easy to handle
XI/ON modules of the standard line (XN standard modules)
• All XI/ON modules of the standard line, with the exception of the gateway, consist of a
base module and an electronics module.
• The gateway and the base modules are snapped onto a mounting rail. The electronics
modules are plugged onto the appropriate base modules.
• The base modules of the standard line are designed as terminal blocks. The wiring is
secured by tension clamp or screw connection.
• The electronics modules can be plugged or pulled when the station is being commissioned
or for maintenance purposes, without having to disconnect the field wiring from the base
modules.
XI/ON modules of the ECO line (XNE ECO modules)
• The XNE ECO electronics modules combine base module and electronics module in one
housing.
• The gateway and the electronics modules are snapped onto a mounting rail.
• The electronics modules of the ECO line are designed as terminal blocks. The wiring is
secured by "push-in" spring-type terminal.
Note
All XNE ECO modules can be used with XN standard products with tension clamp
connection technology. Possible combinations, see Chapter 7.1.1 Combination pos-
sibilities in a XI/ON station, Page 137.
