Condor 415U-1-Cx Battery Powered Wireless IO
Version 1.4
27
The 415U-1-Cx has discrete outputs which can be configured to allow external devices, plant or
equipment to be controlled. There is a maximum of four outputs available for use depending on the
mode of operation used.
The outputs can be configured as two modes, simple on/off or pulsed operation.
ON/OFF mode is normally used for applications like starting a pump or flashing warning lights for
example.
Pulsed outputs ais a mode that is often used with devices designed to be used in low power
consumption applications like latching solenoids or relays. When outputs are used in pulsed mode
then each output uses two pins on the connector, so there is a maximum of two available for use.
Due the low power consumptions nature of the 415U-1-Cx, the unit spends much of its time in a
partially powered down mode to conserve battery energy. Because of this operation the access point
cannot directly send the value of an output directly to the 415U-1-Cx and must wait until its awake
when sending a digital analog input event or periodic update communication. This should be
considered in the system design and allowances for control system timing.
To allow the 415U-1-Cx
to remain “awake” longer to wait for control
from remote PLC or SCADA the
Output Tail Time can be configured from the Unit menu.
If there is a communications failure the Outputs Timeout value can be configured from the Unit menu,
to reset outputs to default state to allow plant or equipment to return to a default or off condition.
Outputs Configuration
From the main menu select the option, I/O Setup to access the outputs configuration. Each digital I/O
can be configured separately and accessed by selecting the menu item a) through to d). see menu
below.
For pulsed mode outputs each output will use two physical outputs on the unit. For example, if
Discrete 1 is set to a pulsed more output, then it will use discrete 1 and discrete 2 pair together and
driven from a single register. Pulse mode inputs include configuration of pulse duration to allow the
control of latch or push-pull type solenoids or valves.
