CHAPTER 4:  OPERATION 

4.1 

Configuration 

 
Once the HE-XRZ2 is installed, the corresponding CSCAPE application must be made aware of 
the optional COM module.  This is accomplished through the CSCAPE: Controller -> I/O 
Configuration menu as shown below:  
 

 

 

 
 

If the target XLe (with the HE-XRZ2 installed) is available and connected to CSCAPE, the Auto 
Config System will fill the EMPTY slot with 

HEXRZ2 

information.   If the target XLe is NOT 

available, the user may manually configure by clicking the Config button adjacent to the EMPTY 
slot and selecting  

HEXRZ2 – radio modem option card 

(this assumes that XLE has previously 

been selected as the Controller).  Thereafter, on exiting the I/O Configuration dialog by clicking 
the OK button, the application is configured for the HE-XRZ2. 
 
Failure to set 

HEXRZ2

 in the I/O Configuration when attempting to download an application that 

uses an OPEN function block set to 

Radio

 generates a download error.   Even if the HE-XRZ2 is 

not used by the application, the 

HEXRZ2

 must still be set in the I/O Configuration to prevent an 

I/O Configuration error on the XLe. 

4.2 

Ladder communications 

 

To access the HE-XRZ2 optional COM module from ladder, the application must first execute an 
OPEN function block for MJ1/Option port with Mode set to 

Radio

.  This function block 

accomplishes three tasks: 
 

  Serial port is disconnected from the CSCAPE command interpreter and made 

available to ladder communications function blocks. 

  Serial port is internally connected to the HE-XRZ2. 

  Serial port transfer rate and frame protocol set to match HE-XRZ2
