The XP100 product line includes a complete range of smart expansion modules for Nethix remote control devices. They are developed for the integration with Nethix WE120. The communication between the modules and the host is made through a standard communication protocol, that is Modbus RTU compatible on RS485 multipoint line.
The XP100 devices interface directly with most of the common process signals (tensions, currents, temperatures etc..) and contain the necessary circuits for acquisition, for signal conditioning and for analogue-to-digital conversion.
The XP100-line includes:
This document presents all necessary technical information for the installation and the operation of the XP100 expansion modules. For a proper use of the devices it’s recommended to read carefully the present sheet. The information contained in the present document can be updated at any time without notice.

The configuration of the analog inputs needs 2 indispensable steps:
Every dip-switch (composed of 4 pin) is linked to an analog input (the dip-switches are sorted like the input ports). This allow to set up every dip-switch indipendently from the others.
It is possible to set up every inputs in 5 modes: 0-5 V, 0-10 V, 0-20 mA, PT100 o NTC.
Configuration | Dip-switch position |
---|---|
0-5 V | OFF - OFF - OFF - OFF |
0-10 V | ON - OFF - OFF - OFF |
0-20 mA | OFF - ON - OFF - OFF |
NTC | OFF - OFF - ON - OFF |
PT100 | OFF - OFF - ON - ON |
Entering in Genesys is possible to select the XP100/4AI-4T, from the list of the expansions connected to the WE120, and change the configuration of its inputs at any time.
Note
-20 and 80 must be setted respectively as minimum and maximum in the case of inputs configured as NTC and PT100.
Warning
It is important that the set up made by Genesys must be supported from the dip-switches configuration, otherwise the WE120 will read wrong values.
Before use, all devices must be configured and identified on the network through a unique slave address.
For the configuration of the address of an XP100 expansion module, follow the procedure described below:
In order to change the address assigned to the device, it’s allowed to repeat the above mentioned procedure at any time.
Warning
The slave addresses assigned to all the XP100 expansion modules connected to the same R485 network must be unique. It’s not possible to assign the same address to more than one device.
On the upper container of all XP100 modules is available a DIP-SWITCH with 4 different positions, that allows to change the hardware configuration of the device.
