Control wiring (auxiliary inputs and outputs)
The C-Series pumps provide two auxiliary inputs and three auxiliary out-
puts at 15-pin connector J3 (pin assignments are listed on page 24).
• The auxiliary inputs can be used to externally trigger or condition com-
mand sequences.
• The auxiliary outputs may be used for any TTL-compatible interfacing.
• The specific function of each auxiliary input or output is determined by
software programming, as described in Operating instructions (begins
on page 35).
Confirm communication with pump
Make sure pump is connected, host controller PC is connected, and
power is applied.
Confirm with TCS Pump Commander (RS232/485)
1.
Open TCS Pump Commander and the Pump Communication Setup win-
dow. This should open up when you start TCS Pump Commander. If not,
press the Setup Communication button on the right side of the screen.
2.
Select COM port.
–
If there is only one COM port showing, close the Pump Communica-
tion Setup window. Unplug the communication cable to the pump
and plug it back in. Open the window again and select the new COM
port that appears.
3.
Select the Baud Rate and Device Address (position of address switch on
pump plus 1).
Note: Baud rate setting must be the same as indicated by baud rate
jumper on J2. Refer to Figure 4-4 (page 23) if necessary.
4.
Click the Connect button and see the response in the Status window.
–
The response format is OK: C3000 MMDDYY for both the C3000
and C24000 models. Example: OK: C3000 052914, where 052914
represents the date of the firmware.
–
If a “FAILED” response is received, re-check baud rate selection,
COM port selection and device address setting. Check power and
wiring also if none of these resolves the problem.
