Five switches on the SW1 are used to set the board address. Five binary switches allow 25=32 addresses, but
remember that only 16 CMX can actually be addressed on a single communication line. Never use addresses above 15
(0F Hex); the
SW1-4 setting must be always ON
.
The switches SW1-1, SW1-2 and SW1-3 are used to define the board type. For the CMX-16/8 they must have the
setting shown in Table 6.1.
SW1-1
OFF
SW1-2
ON
SW1-3
ON
Table 6.1 - Board type
The switches SW2-1, SW2-2 and SW2-3 are used to define the meaning that the CMX firmware assigns to the
input/output status. The meaning is assigned to the outputs in groups of eight, and so 3 switches are enough to define
the meaning of 24 inputs/outputs. If the switch is set OFF, the eight outputs (or inputs) corresponding to it are
evaluated active when they are closed ("normal" condition in Table A.2). If the switch is set ON, the inputs are
complemented, i.e. their active status corresponds to the open status. Table A.2, in Annex A, summarize their
meaning.
In the upper left part of board there are two double jumpers, marked JP1 and JP3. Each one has a "A" jumper and a
"B" jumper. Their setting is as follows and
must not be changed
:
JP1
JP3
A
OFF
ON
B
ON
OFF

The I/O board (CD 91200) of the CMX-16/8 accepts up to 16 inputs and it is able to drive up to 8 outputs. On the board
it is easy to recognize the two rows of twelve photocouplers each, the small blocks with four pins, the two LEDS blocks
of 24 and 4 LEDs respectively, on the left board side and the 64-pin DIN connector on the right side.
The 24 LEDs are linked to the I/O port. When a LED is ON this means that the input is closed at the corresponding
input port. Note that the LED signifies only a physical condition (i.e. current flowing through the diode), while the logical
meaning of the input is assigned by the switch setting (see Table A.2).
Looking frontally to the LEDs rows, the four lower LEDs have the following meaning (Fig. 6.1):
–
the upper left is the RS-485 line
TX monitor
: during normal operation it blinks according to the signals
transmitted.
–
the upper right is the RS-485 line
RX monitor
: during normal operation it blinks according to the signals
received.
–
the lower left is the
power supply monitor
: it must be steady ON when the CMX is properly powered.
–
the lower right is the low
voltage monitor
: during normal operation it is OFF. It lights on when the power
supply voltage drops below the lower limit of 11.4 V.
The board layout is common with the other CMX models (CMX-24I and CMX-24O). The CMX-16/8 has only one IC
marked on the PCB as U3 and only the jumper marked W25 is installed.
The only feature that can require a maintenance intervention is the fuse on the lower right angle. The fuse is soldered to
the board and it is intended for board protection and
not for field protection
. If the fuse blows out, probably there is
something wrong with the board. Send it back to Cerberus Dati for maintenance.
Refer to Chapter 8 of this manual for actual connections to external devices.
The power supply must have the characteristics shown in Table 6.3.
