The flexible EXOclever units can be mounted in two different ways; either in the traditional manner or edge first, enabling many units to fit into a very small space.
EXOclever can be used either as a stand-alone unit or together with other EXO products as part of a larger automation system. EXOclever makes up the backbone of larger systems, with Regin’s EXOcompact and EXOdos controllers constituting excellent supplements.

Trend elements

A new trend element and trend templates that makes it possible to show real time data of any variable.

A new built in alarm functionality

With the new EXO 2015 you can now get information about the alarms that must be addressed. The Controller builder has also been updated with new dialog windows for e.g. Inputs & Outputs" and Alarms & Events.

Improved EXOhelp

To make it even easier to work in EXOscada we have substantially improved the Help section in EXO 2015 with a new, more user-friendly design and better search functionality. 

Controller Builder

Controller Builder has gone through major updates including new dialog windows for Inputs & Outputs and Alarms & Events, as well as new and improved function blocks.

Whether for commissioning, testing and training purposes, E-CASE-C283DT-3-24 is very easy to use and to bring along. Just plug the controller into a 230 V wall socket and you are ready to begin simulations of analogue and digitals inputs and outputs as well as testing configurations.

Both I/O modules communicate via EXOline (RS485).

IO-RU-7 and IO-RU-10 share the same modern and modular design which makes them easy to install and commission thanks to the separate bottom plate for wiring.

You no longer need to use an external unit. Our new models with M-Bus communication port makes it easy for you!

The new controllers are faster, have more memory and better communication options, supporting additional and improved protocols.

Go to EXOcompact >

EXOcompact is a controller suitable for many applications, including heating, ventilation, etc. It is small and compact, offers many communication options as well as several protocols. Applications can be downloaded during operation and an internal and external display can be used at the same time. You can also select between one, two or three communication ports.

The EXOcompact series is fully compatible with all other products in the EXO range. The controllers are freely programmable using the high-level EXO language EXOL®. Programming takes place in EXOdesigner, the same environment used for all other EXO controllers. 

Areas of application

EXOcompact is primarily intended for use in installations with a limited number of I/O:s, placing a high importance on a freely programmable, compact controller providing both communication capabilities and high performance. EXOcompact can be used either as a stand-alone unit or together with other EXO products as part of a larger automation system. In large automation systems, EXOcompact makes an excellent complement to our freely programmable controller EXOflex, being ideally suited for localised tasks such as zone control or control of heating or ventilation applications.

Memory use

The third generation of EXOcompact features a factory-loaded application that enables both address and communication settings to be entered into an otherwise empty controller via the display. It is also possible to load a new or updated control application while the present application is running. The new control application will be be activated only when it has been correctly downloaded. 

Communication

EXOcompact communicates via RS485 (EXOline, Modbus), TCP/IP or M-Bus (when used together with X1176).

TCP/IP

The built-in TCP/IP port makes it easy to create systems spanning a very wide area. By using network infrastructure already in place for ordinary computers, installation costs can be greatly reduced.

 Third generation EXOcompact offers TCP/IP communication 5-20 times faster compared to controllers of the second generation. EXOcompact with TCP/IP communication is available featuring three ports; one TCP/IP port and two serial communication ports.

Serial communication

EXOline and Modbus communication takes place via RS485. M-Bus functionality has been improved, and it is now possible to use EXOcompact with almost every type of meter. In order to enable communication via M-Bus, the external X1176 converter must first be connected. 

Displays

In models with a built-in display, the display has blue backlight and 4 rows of 20 characters each. The display light is normally dimmed but is activated when a button is depressed. The display light will be dimmed again after a period of inactivity. For installations requiring an external display, EXOcompact comes prepared for quick connection (4P4C) of ED9200, E3-DSP and ED-RU.

Mounting and wiring

EXOcompact is normally mounted onto a DIN-rail or (using a mounting kit) in a front panel. The casing uses a EURO norm form factor to fit into a standard EURO norm cabinet.

EXOscada is a web-based SCADA/HMI software offering many advantages. It has a database with 10 GB of space, which can be expanded. It can communicate with controllers of other brands via OPC and is upgradable from EXO4 and EXO4 Web Server. EXOscada can be quickly configured and runs as a Windows Service. Furthermore, no licence is required for systems with up to 75 I/O:s. 

The most important functions: 

• Dynamic visualization of plants and processes

• Alarm window with filtering function

• Time channel program

• Easy to change control curves

• A powerful history window

• A larger template library

• Support for large server environments

• Scalable and vector-based graphics

• Script language available

User interface

EXOscada has a modern and intuitive user interface, in which a navigational tree structure is generated automatically. There is a clear overview of sum alarms and the graphics are scalable and vector-based. 

Configuration

In order to use EXOscada, an EXO project must first be created. Such a project consists of a number of controllers, along with a series of main and work computers all joined together via a communication system. The project configuration is stored in a project folder on the hard disk. A project can easily be moved from one PC to another without any other projects being

affected.

EXOscada consists of a number of different views containing various types of information. These overviews are visible to users via the tab system and popup windows. Views are configured using three different tools:

• EXOscada Area Views: Used to create tabs and commands for an area and its views.

• EXOscada View Designer: Used to configure an animation view.

• EXOscada Commands: Used to configure a command file that, for instance, can be used for popup menus and command bars in views. 

All three tools are opened from EXOdesigner.

Implementation

To facilitate implementation, some views in EXOscada have already been adapted upon delivery for maximum comprehension.  These views include for instance Alarm Status, Historical Charts and Time Channel views, as well as designer template views for many of the available objects. 

Database

EXOscada uses an SQL-based database, supporting up to 10 GB. It can also be expanded further, if even more storage space is needed.

Other controller brands

EXOscada has an OPC licence option that makes it possible to connect to other brands of hardware via a suitable OPC server (Data Access 2).

Compatibility with EXO4 and EXO4 Web Server

Controller communication, databases, alarms and events, logging, signals and objects, OPC connections, etc. function the same in EXOscada as in EXO4. Projects can therefore be run that combine EXO4 and EXOscada, e.g. for when converting from EXO4 to EXOscada.

EXOscada is able to use all configurations for EXO4 Web Server with just minor conversions. Most of these are performed automatically by an included conversion tool.

Licences

The licencing system for EXOscada is very flexible and can easily be adapted to suit specific needs.

Each computer running the EXOscada software requires a dongle as well as one or more licence codes. Dongles are available in the form of software or hardware dongles. 

Software dongles are bound to a particular computer’s Windows installation and cannot be physically moved to another computer. Hardware dongles can be moved from one computer to another.

Dongles in themselves only ensure software functionality but otherwise provide no licence rights. These are instead provided by licence codes. For projects with less than 75 I/O:s and where only one user needs to be logged in at any one time, no licence is required. 

For more information on licence options and alternatives, please contact your local Regin office.

Communication betweeen the converter and the SCADA system takes place via BACnet/IP. The unit is supplied with cables and a power adapter.

Configuration

E-BACNET2 configuration software is a tool used to change the converter’s settings in cases where the default settings cannot be used. The tool enables changing the Device ID, IP settings (factory setting: 192.168.92.92/24) and the PLA:ELA address (should match the addresses of the Corrigo E, factory setting: 254:254).

Mounting

As a default, the converter is intended for wall mounting. However, a kit for DIN-mounting is also available as an option.

Included: 

• EXOline to BACnet/IP converter

• Power supply unit, primary 100...240 V AC / 12 V DC out

• Connection cable between transformer and converter

• Connection cable between transformer and wall outlet (type C outlet, European)

• RJ45 cable for connection between converter and switch

• RS485 cable for connection between Corrigo E and converter.
