Schneider TAC Xenta 401B Relay output module

Description

Schneider TAC Xenta 401B Relay output module

1. Product Description

The TAC Xenta 401:B is a microprocessor-based controller designed for heating and air handling systems. Unlike the standard 401 model, the 401:B does not support the connection of TAC Xenta 400 I/O modules. Instead, it is optimized to act as a central hub or “Data Manager” that coordinates other LonWorks nodes, manages time schedules, handles alarms, and logs data across a network.

It is programmed using the graphical tool TAC Menta and communicates via the LonTalk TP/FT-10 protocol.

3. Key Advantages

• Powerful Logic Engine: Despite having no physical I/O, it has full HVAC functionality (control loops, curves, and logic) to manage complex sequences.

• LonMark® Certified: Ensures seamless interoperability with other LonWorks-compliant devices from different manufacturers.

• Flexible Data Management: Excellent for handling network variables, centralized scheduling, and trend logging for a whole floor or building.

• Hot Swappable: The electronics part can be removed or inserted into the terminal base without disconnecting the power or wiring.

• Ease of Programming: Uses the TAC Menta tool, which simplifies the creation of custom control strategies through a functional block diagram interface.

4. Product Applications

The 401:B is specifically suited for roles where physical wiring isn’t required at the controller itself, but logic coordination is:

• Zone Management: Managing multiple LonWorks-based room controllers (like Xenta 100 series).

• Data Logging Hub: Serving as a central point for collecting and storing history data from various network nodes.

• Master Scheduler: Coordinating time-based events (occupancy, holidays) for a large network of decentralized devices.

• Gateway to TAC Vista: Acting as the primary communication link between a field network and the TAC Vista BMS workstation.

5. Important Precautions

• No I/O Support: Crucial Note: You cannot connect TAC Xenta 400 I/O modules (like 411, 421, etc.) to a 401:B. If physical I/O expansion is needed, you must use the standard TAC Xenta 401 instead.

• Wiring: Ensure the LonTalk network is correctly terminated with the proper resistors to avoid communication reflections.

• Polarity: While LonTalk TP/FT-10 is generally non-polarized, always double-check the 24V power wiring to prevent damage.

• Environment: The unit is designed for cabinet mounting; ensure adequate ventilation and protection from high humidity.
