XM500
TCP/IP Modem
GENERAL
The XM500 allows for communication between standard
EXCEL 5000 controllers and the Excel Building Supervisor
Central, or any controller on the Light Commercial Building
System (LCBS) and L
ON
S
TATION
™, via standard Ethernet-
TCP/IP based LAN/WAN networks.
The XM500 is easy to install and to configure. Typically, with
all necessary network information being available, it can be
made operational within minutes.
The XM500 converts the serial data received from the
controller or workstation central into TCP/IP packets and vice
versa.
On its serial port, the XM500 behaves like a standard Hayes
compatible modem: It is addressed with Hayes commands,
and instead of a telephone number, IP addresses are used.
The XM500 is designed to replace the analog modem used in
our Excel 5000 and LCBS systems and provide the same
functionality using TCP/IP communications.
The XM500 may be easily configured with the IP Connect
software provided or manually via Windows Terminal
Program. The LAN/WAN network server requires no software
download for the XM500.
FEATURES
• Communication between XBS or L
ON
S
TATION
™
centrals and EXCEL 5000 controllers via standard
Ethernet-TCP/IP LAN/WAN.
• TCP/IP provides more reliable and faster
communications than analog modem.
• Compatible with all HVAC systems connecting through
an SLTA-10.
• Compatible to EXCEL 5000 controllers with integrated
modem communication (O.S. version 2.01.00 or later).
• Compatible to EXCEL 5000 modem devices XM100A,
XDM506.
• Compatible to all XBS or L
ON
S
TATION
™ centrals with
dial-up functionality via COM-port.
• Completely self-contained device.
• Quick and easy installation and set-up.
LIMITATIONS
The Echelon MIPS protocol requires all outbound commands/
queries be answered within 1000 milliseconds (1 sec). If any
part of the Wide Area Network is comprised of a satellite link,
it is likely to have a “propagation delay” of more than one
second, thus eliminating the use of a WAN modem. Before
installation, the user should perform tests to obtain the
response time of the network. (See “Configuration” on
page 3.)
