Efficient

The various modules are functionally designed for practical applications, minimizing

the amount of devices needed. This not only goes easy on your wallet, but also reduces

the amount of space required Convenient and easy to wire A plug-in connection system

makes it possible to quickly connect and replace modules,which in turn makes it much

easier to commission and service machines. Each module can accommodate up to 20

channels, which are distributed among five plug connectors as required for the application

at hand.

Accessories include keying pins designed to ensure that plugs will not be mixed up.

The push-in terminals have the following conductor cross-sections:

Connection specifications

• Solid wire

• 24–16 AWG

• Stranded wire with insulated ferrule

• 24–18 AWG

• Stranded wire with uninsulated ferrule

• 24–16 AWG

Neat and easy to keep track of

A clear functional layout makes it possible to easily keep track of things despite the

modules high channel density:

• Mechanical latches can be easily accessed—even after a module is installed

• Labels for individual identification

• Individually programmable user LEDs can be used as slot-specific indicators

• Each module has a status LED that shows its communication status

• The signal state for each wire is shown right next to where the wire is connected

• Different signal colors make it easy to identify functions (green = input, yellow =

output, red = fault)

Solution-oriented and multifunctional

The devices‘ application oriented functions reduce the number of slice cards required.

This means, for instance, that digital outputs can be powered and fused in groups,

as well as switched off centrally. In addition, digital inputs can perform additional

counter functions, while analog modules include additional functions such as a reference

voltage, temperature measuring, cold-junction compensation, etc.

With the XN300. you can rest assured knowing that you will find the ideal configuration

for the exact system solution you want.

Compact

Space is always at a premium— especially when it comes to the machine building

industry.

Of course, this should come as no surprise in a sector where the drive toward

miniaturization is resulting in the use of even more compact components.

Or, to put it another way, every cubic centimeter counts. That is why the housings

used in the XN300 system can accommodate up to20 channels, with push-in

terminal technology and status displays, on a front area of 12.5 x 102 mm and a

height of 72 mm.

Simple

Time is money. The XN300 system has been developed with this in mind, which is

why the installation work for it can be broken down into ideal and efficient steps

that allow for pre-assembly and save a significant amount of time.

This can be seen, for instance, in the system‘s use of plug-in terminals and in how

it makes it possible to conveniently split installation work into two different steps

(putting together a block and then installing it on a mounting rail).

In fact, assembling a functional block and then mounting it as a unit on a rail can

be easily done in record time—and without using any tools. All it takes afterthat is

inserting the necessary wires into the push-in terminals or connecting the appropriate

connectors and just like that, your system is ready to go.

Big efficiency. Small package.

Eaton’s robust line of slice card modular I/O systems

Plug into performance

XN300—the slice card modular I/O system for the machine building industry

Eaton‘s ultra-compact, slice card–based XN300 modular I/O system features

a high channel density plug-in connection system and can be combined

with HMI PLC products in order to create the ideal system solution for your

applications.

The secret? Application-oriented functions that result in lower device costs and

combine optimum performance with compact dimensions.

All this is combined with a sleek design and a convenient installation concept

that makes handling easier and allows users to pre-assemble their I/O stations

and the components they will be connecting.

Moreover, the plug-in terminal system and the way in which signals are clearly

identified make commissioning easier and round off the system‘s characteristics,

making it the perfect solution for the needs of machine building applications

meant for mass production.

The possibility to create your own user defined controls with

parameter interface (tags, text, images, script assignments,

…) improves reusability and graphical consistency across the

project, saving time during the development phase.

By activating the web visualization functionality of Galileo,

remote devices such as PC’s, tablet’s or smartphones can easily

access the XV-102 visualization. Based on the HTML5-standard

all common web browsers (Safari, Chrome, Edge) are supported.

It is possible to make an existing visualization web-accessible

with just a few simple configuration clicks, or to design a

specially tailored visualization for web purposes (e.g., tailored

content for portrait mode view, reduced functionality for web

access).

The Galileo Design Tool offers a simulator with which the

created visualization can be easily tested on the developer PC.

Galileo is an intuitive and powerful engineering environment

that takes small effort to master and meets every requirement

involved in today‘s on-site machine operation. It is custom

tailored to the needs of the international machine and systems

building industry and reflects the latest developments in

visualization technology.

The comprehensive integrated communication protocols

make it possible to provide visualization for all common

PLCs resp. controllers.

Visualization controls like value display, gauge, graph charts, lists

and many more offers great design possibilities for visualizing

PLC tag values. At the same time, controls like value entry

with modern looking on-screen keyboard, slider, list selection

box, recipe and more facilitate the changing of PLC variables.

Navigation between the different visualization visualization

image pages can be designed attractively using animated

screen changes, pull-out menus and dynamic dialogs. Additional

functionalities like scripting, trigger script execution on events

and a built-in user management complete the broad range of

customization.

In addition, visually appealing screen displays can be

quickly implemented to further emphasize the high quality

of the machine.

Embedded Linux was specially developed for embedded

systems in the context of modern machine automation.

It makes the devices future-proof, particularly in terms of cyber

security. As before, PLC programming is carried out using

CODESYS, the established and industry-wide standard for

programming control systems.

The devices are housed in a plastic casing and can also be used

in portrait format. The integrated non-volatile memory can be

easily expanded via an SD card, if required. In addition to the

Ethernet interface, CANopen, RS232 and RS485 interfaces are

also available, depending on the device type.

XV-102 Touch Display – Compact, powerful and flexible

The XV-102 touch display range from Eaton’s MoellerTM Series

offers a compact, powerful and flexible solution for automation

applications where space is at a premium. The devices offer the

modern, future-proof Embedded Linux operating system with

advanced cyber security features and even faster processors,

while maintaining form, fit and function. They can be used

either as HMI operating panels or optionally with integrated

PLC functionality.

Thanks to the resistive touch screen, the devices can be

operated with thick work gloves and are extremly robust against

electrical interferences. The XV-102 devices are equipped with

electronics, based on state-of-the-art industrial components

with high availability.

XV-102 Compact and powerful operating and control devices

Eaton operates an independent development center, the ‘Cybersecurity

Center of Excellence’ (CCoE), specifically designed to combat the threats

posed by cyber attacks. All Eaton products are regularly qualified for

secure operation.

The XV-102 devices with an Embedded Linux operating system

seamlessly integrate into Eaton CCoE’s ‘Defense in Depth’ cybersecurity

concept. The devices boot from a write protected memory, and only

operating system software updates signed by Eaton can be installed

on the devices. All device settings and interfaces are secured via

password entries, which also withstand a brute force attack.

Communication channels can be selectively activated and encrypted

for the required tasks. However, cybersecurity and usability are not

mutually exclusive. Guided by the first-boot agent, the prepared

application software and device configuration are installed easily and

efficiently via a USB memory during machine or system commissioning.

The application software and process data can optionally be installed

on an encrypted SD card, and in the event of a device replacement,

the application-specific data can simply be taken over to the replacement

device.
