rS-232 CommunICaTIonS
XPC
is configured via a three-wire, full-duplex dTe rS-232 port that operates from 9600 to 115,200 baud, 8 bits, no parity, and one stop bit.
Signal format is full-duplex, 3-wire, dTe using rxd, Txd, and Gnd. Connections to the
XPC
rS-232 port are through J8, an rJ-11 connector.
the
XPC
Serial Cable kit (Ser-Ck) contains a modular cable, and an adapter that connects to a 9-pin, Sub-d serial port connector
(Com1, Com2, etc.) on PC’s and compatibles.
Ser-Ck SerIal Cable kIT
The Ser-Ck provides connectivity between a d-Sub 9 male connector and the
rJ-11 connector on the XPC. It includes an adapter that plugs into the Com1 (or
other) port of a PC and uses common modular cable to connect to the XPC. The
connections are shown in the diagram below.
don’t forget to order a Serial Cable kit Ser-Ck when
placing your order for an XPC!

ascII coMMunIcatIon protocol
rS-232 mulTI-droP
The rS-232 specification makes no allowance for more than two devices on a serial link. but, multiple XPC drives can communicate over
a single rS-232 port by daisy-chaining a master drive to other drives using Can cables. In the Can protocol, address 0 is reserved for
the Can master and thereafter all other nodes on a Can network must have unique, non-zero addresses. When the XPC Can address
is set to 0, it acts as a Can master, converting the rS-232 data into Can messages and passing it along to the other drives which act
as CAN nodes.
aSCII CommunICaTIonS
The Copley aSCII Interface is a set of aSCII format commands that can be used to operate and monitor Copley Controls accelnet,
Stepnet, and Xenus series amplifiers over an rS-232 serial connection. for instance, after basic amplifier configuration values have
been programmed using Cme 2, a control program can use the aSCII Interface to:
• enable the amplifier in Programmed Position mode.
• Home the axis.
• Issue a series of move commands while monitoring position, velocity, and other run-time
variables.
additional information can be found in the aSCII Programmers Guide on the Copley website:

for Serial-multi-drop you’ll need an Serial Cable kit Ser-Ck plus Canopen network cables to connect the drives as shown.
The XP2-nC-01 and XP2-nC-10 are 1 ft (0.3m) and 10 ft (3m) cables that will do the job.
