Introduction
Chapter Objective
The information in this chapter will enable you to:
❏
Understand the product's basic functions & features
Product Description
The RP240 is designed to operate as an operator interface for Compumotor's
Extended X (the SX Indexer/Drive, ZX Indexer/Drive, and Model 500 Indexer)
and 6000 Series products (6200 Indexer and 6250 Servo Controller). The
RP240 operates strictly as a dumb terminal. No programming of any kind
can be accomplished using the RP240. The RP240 is controlled by commands
available in the Extended X and 6000 Series command sets. The commands
allow the programmer to create a program (within the Extended X or 6000
Series product) to prompt an operator for numeric information, read
function keys, display variables and text, and control the 8 LEDs located on
the RP240.
If the RP240 is not used with the SX, ZX, Model 500, 6200, or 6250, ASCII
command strings sent directly to the RP240 can be used to control the
functions contained within the RP240 (refer to
Chapter

Direct Control of
the RP240
).
