DESCRIPTION
The XNET Radio Data Network offers a cost effective and flexible means of transmitting analogue, digital, and
pulse counter data over large areas without the need for cables. A programmable modular approach allows the
user to configure the exact combination of IO required for a specific application from standard XNET modules.
A system can be as simple as a one-way link or as complex as a multi-drop network.
An XNET Control Module consists of:
1 Synthesised Radio Transceiver
8 Opto Isolated Inputs
8 Voltage Free Relay Outputs 1A, 30Vdc
2 Analogue Inputs ,12bit, 0 to 20mA or 0 to 5V
2 Analogue Outputs, 12 bit, 0 to 20mA or 0 to 5V
1 RS232 Serial Gateway Port
1 RS232 Programming Port
1 X-Bus Expansion Module Port
1 12V DC Power Supply for Transducers
Additional analogue and digital Input/Output modules can be connected to the Control Module by means of a
single 10-way ribbon cable. The modules can be located locally or up to 50 metres away.

XNET OPERATION
XNET control modules communicate with each other by means of time division multiplexing. All control
modules in the network are set by the user to the same RF frequency and then programmed with consecutive
node addresses. These are then used as time slots. The control module with time slot zero will start the
sequence by transmitting the status of its inputs with the addresses of the destination digital outputs. After
receiving data from the first Node a timing pulse will be sent from Node 0 to request data from the next Node.
When there is a time break of 6 time slots, the control module with time slot zero will start the sequence again.
The network can be easily expanded by adding control modules programmed with the next node address in
the sequence.
XNET control modules can be configured as repeaters thereby extending the range of a network over
geological obstacles.

PROGRAMMING
An XNET control module is programmed by a PC or Organiser configured as a dumb terminal. A three wire
asynchronous RS232 serial port (RD, TD, 0V) with a baud rate set at 9600 with 2 stop bits and no parity is
connected to the control module programming port. When the Esc key is pressed, a configuration menu will
be displayed. Control Parameter such as node number and serial data port can be selected along with
allocating the destination of the node input ports.
