Figure 35. XNX Personality Board Terminal Block Legend
Each of the personalities use a single terminal block for
connection with the exception of the IR personality, which
requires a second terminal block.
The personality boards also provide a dedicated pair of jumper
switchestodeneoutputofthetransmitterasisolated4-20mA,
Sink 20mA, or Source 20mA as well as a service jumper to allow
power to the loop to continue when the transmitter is being
serviced. A separate connector is used to activate local HART
(see Section 2.3.1).
Local HART provides an external access to control the
transmitter. An intrinsically safe (IS) barrier inside the transmitter
allows the user to attach an external hand-held interrogator
forprogrammingandconguration.Theexternalinterfaceis
intrinsically safe. It is installed in the transmitter’s lower left
cable/conduitport.

Note: Open loop faults are not available due to HART, Modbus, and
Foundation Fieldbus interfaces where a 4-20 signal cannot be used.
In this case, open loop, 0mA must be used as the diagnostic.
The Option circuit boards vary depending upon the option
selected when ordered. Only one of the three available interface
options (relays, Modbus, or Foundation Fieldbus) can be
attached to the XNX transmitter. When installed, connections to
the options are made to connectors at the bottom of the POD.
