IQAN-XA2 expansion controller module
The IQAN-XA2 module is one of a collection of expansion/slave controllers that can be added to an IQAN system. The IQAN expansion module communicates with an IQAN master display or controller over a CAN bus. The module has addressing in the wiring harness through use of an IDtag; the addressing of the IQAN-XA2 allows up to 8 modules of this type on the bus.
The IQAN-XA2 expansion module has up to 8 voltage inputs for connection of 0-5 Vdc signals, up to 20 digital inputs for on-off signals, up to 2 frequency or 2 quadrature inputs. Inputs are multi-purpose and share pins for flexibility. The inputs are configured as voltage inputs, digital inputs, frequency inputs or as directional frequency (quadrature) inputs using IQAN software tools.
The IQAN-XA2 has 6 dedicated on-off outputs that are high-side power outputs. The expansion module also has up to 6 double proportional outputs for controlling proportional valves. These outputs can control bi-directional valve sections or single solenoid devices (i.e. proportional cartridge valves). The proportional outputs can be used in two different modes. Either Current mode (current closed loop PWM) or PWM mode (voltage open-loop PWM) signals can be selected and the parameters configured using IQAN software. For flexibility these outputs may also be configured as on/off outputs or on/off inputs. For flexibility, the proportional outputs, on-off outputs and on-off inputs share pin positions and are configured using IQAN software tools.
The IQAN-XA2 aluminum housing is designed to be rugged, but light and has a sealed, automotive connector. The unit has a membrane to prevent condensation inside the housing. The IQAN-XA2 expansion controller is designed for the outdoor environment.
IQAN-XA2 expansion modules execute a self-test during start up and cyclic operation. An internal watch dog checks for software errors and will interrupt outputs if errors are detected. The XA2 is made using selected components and conforms to strict international requirements. For diagnostics: If an error is detected an LED on the top of the controller flashes a sequence to indicate the nature of the error and assist in troubleshooting.
