HONEYWELL EXCEL 5000 OPEN SYSTEM
SPECIFICATION DATA
FEATURES
 Various state-of-the-art communication options: Open
LONWORKS® bus or C-bus communication
 Unique features in open LONWORKS® networks: NV-
Booster® reduces the number of required NVs and thus
also the number of required controllers; NV bindings can
be restored after controller reset (and thus need not be
redone after exchanging controllers); 46 NVs supported for
LONWORKS® integration
 Reduced engineering and start-up costs: Huge variety
of pre-tested and fully documented applications
 Easy and flexible installation: Screw terminals; mounting
inside cabinet (DIN rail) or in cabinet front door
 Operating options: Integrated operator interface, XI582
Remote Interface, XI882 Remote Touch-Panel Interface,
and XL-Online PC-based interface

DESCRIPTION
GENERAL The Excel 50 controller is available in two housing versions,
The Excel 50 controller has built-in communication capability, one with and one without a Man-Machine-Interface (MMI.)
allowing it to be integrated into a Honeywell EXCEL 5000® The MMI version allows buswide access to other controllers.
System or into an open LONWORKS® network communicating The XI582 operator interface or the PC-based XL-Online
rd operator and service software can be used in conjunction with
with Excel 10 controllers as room/zone controllers or with 3 -
party products. It can also serve as a stand-alone controller. either version. The housing can be mounted inside a cabinet
