Keep the serial cable away from power cables and from any possible source of electromagnetic
disturbance
Do not connect the serial cable shielding to the earth connection of the electrical system
Do not connect the "Gnd" terminal.

5.1
CONTROLLER CONFIGURATION
On the same line, normally every controller is programmed with its own unique serial address, through the
Adr parameter. Refer to the instrument's installation manual to learn about the access and editing
procedures. For a simple description of the categories they belong to, organise address programming
progressively. A number of special cases are listed in the pages below.
To keep the RS485 line balanced, a 120Ω terminating resistor must be fitted at the ends. If the XWEB is at
one end of the RS485 line, it is advisable to fit the 120Ω terminating resistor on the last instrument and on
XWEB. To enable the terminating resistor, insert the jumper in position 2 (JMP2 is marked on the unit). Do
NOT insert the jumper if XWEB is at the centre of the RS485 line.
5.1.1 CONFIGURATION FOR XC400/600/800/900 AND XH200/300/400 SERIES
These instruments have two serial addresses and must be configured in the same way. Refer to the
instrument's installation manual to learn about the access and editing procedures.
5.1.2 CONFIGURATION FOR XJA/XJP/XJM MODELS
XJA/XJP/XJM series instruments are configurable with one or more modbus addresses. Refer to their
installation manual for the configuration procedures.
5.1.3 CONFIGURATION FOR XEV SERIES
XEV series, drivers for the electronic valve: the instrument must be connected to the same line and
configured in combination with its main controller.
a) Enter the protected XEV menu and set the Mod=AdU parameter
b) Assign XEV with the same serial address as the instrument that it needs to be associated to
c) Run an instrument search using the "dixell485xev" protocol and add them to the setup.
5.1.4 ENERGY METERS AND THIRD PARTY INSTRUMENT CONFIGURATION
For non-Dixell instruments, it will be necessary to configure the serial to work with baudrate 9600bps, 8bit,
No Parity and 1 Stop bit (aka "9600,8,N,1). The use of another serial configuration may not be recognised by
XWEB-EVO and this would lead to incorrect device operation.
To enter non-Dixell instruments, which are nonetheless required by the system, (for example the Carlo
Gavazzi Energy Analyser), do the following:
Enter "MenuDevices Setup" and choose any instrument. To enter Energy Analyzer "WM22-DIN-
a.
AV5", select "ENERG.ANAL"
Press "Add/Remove Device(s)". And, from the list, select the library for the device.
