InsightFacility Manual

Types of InsightFacility Networks
The InsightFacility can interface with different LAN devices using wired or wireless
connections, so you can configure your Xanbus devices and monitor your power system
performance.
n InsightFacility on Xanbus (two separate networks can be supported)
n InsightFacility on Modbus (via the 26-pin connector)
n InsightFacility on Local Area Network (LAN, via Ethernet or Wi-Fi)
When the InsightFacility is part of a LAN, you can access the InsightFacility web
user interface from a computer on the same LAN via a wireless or wired LAN
connection.
An Ethernet connection is required between the InsightFacility and a router and computer
for configuring the InsightFacility.
Power Sources for the InsightFacility
The InsightFacility consumes an average of 2 W under most operating conditions and up
to 10 W maximum. The power sources connected to the InsightFacility must be capable
of providing this power requirement.
There are three power sources for the InsightFacility:
n AC/DC power adapter (not supplied)
n Xanbus-enabled device via CAT5 or CAT5e cable (Xanbus cable)
n 9–24 V DC power input connections on the 26-pin connector
All three sources can be used alone or simultaneously. Typically, the AC/DC power
adapter (not supplied) is used as a primary source with either a Xanbus connection or the
26-pin connector as secondary sources. See "Physical Features" on page16 for
connection locations.
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK AND FIRE HAZARD
Connect only to Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) circuits and limited power sources.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment
damage.
Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) is a designation that refers to a circuit in which the
voltages within the circuit and from the circuit to ground have values that are not a shock
hazard, under both normal and single fault conditions.
