4-3 Operating Procedure for RS-422 Communication Unit
Step Item Details
1 Mount the Communication Unit to the
DIN Track. Mount the Unit to the DIN Track. After mounting the Fiber Amplifier Units
to the DIN Track, connect the Units to each other.
Note: To remove the Units from the DIN Track, first slide the Units apart
to disconnect them, and then remove the Units from the DIN Track.
2 Connect the Fiber Amplifier Units to the
Communication Unit. Connect the Communication Unit to the Fiber Amplifier Units by sliding
the Communication Unit until the clips on the end are aligned and a “click”
sound is heard.
Note: Turn OFF the DC power supply before connecting the Units.
3 Set the Sensors to RUN mode Set the mode switches to RUN mode.
4 Connect the RS-422 connector. Connect the connector for RS-422 communications.
Note: Be sure to connect terminating resistance to the last Communica-
tion Unit for RS-422.
5 Set the rotary switches. Upper
switch Sets the CompoWay/F node number (0 to 31); set in combina-
tion with pin 4 of the DIP switch.
Middle
switch Sets the CompoWay/F communications mode (0 to F).
Lower
switch Sets the number of Sensors for communications (1 to 16). This
switch is enabled only when pin 3 of the DIP switch is OFF.
Note: If pin 3 of the DIP switch is ON, the number of Sensors is
set using a CompoWay/F message.
6 Set the DIP switch. Pin 1 Pin 2 Baud rate setting
OFF OFF 9,600 bps
OFF ON 19,200 bps
ON OFF 38,400 bps
ON ON 57,600 bps
Pin 3 Method for setting number of Sensors connected
OFF Use the rotary switch to register the number of Sensors.
ON Use CompoWay/F messages to register the number of Sensors.
7 Turn ON the DC power supply. Disconnect the E3X-MC11 Mobile Console before turning ON the DC
power supply.
8 Check the indicators. PWR Communications power supply is ON when the PWR indicator is
lit green.
RXD Receiving serial communications when the RXD indicator is lit
yellow.
TXD Transmitting serial communications when the TXD indicator is lit
yellow.
U.ERR Operating normally when the U.ERR indicator is not lit (no Unit
error).
SS Sensors communicating when the SS indicator is lit green.
9 Start communica-
tions CompoWay/F
message commu-
nications Sends CompoWay/F messages from the master.
