2.
Connect the SNAP-LCSX controller to Opto 22 I/O units.
Use the built-in COM1 port to communicate with Opto 22 digital or analog (or both) I/O. Set up the I/O
unit as shown in its installation guide. The diagram on the next page illustrates connection with a B3000
brain board.
3.
Connect the SNAP-LCSX controller to a personal computer (PC).
You can start with a pre-wired RS-232 cable that you don’t mind cutting, or you can make your own
cable. Cut off the end of the cable that DOES NOT plug into the computer and wire the cable as shown in
the diagram below:
4.
Configure the controller using OptoControl.
In order to be useful with a SNAP-LCSX or LCSX-PLUS controller, a PC must have at least one element of
Opto 22’s FactoryFloor software suite installed: OptoControl, OptoDisplay, OptoServer, or OptoTerm. This
guide assumes that you will configure the controller using OptoControl. For instructions, see the
OptoControl User’s Guide
.
Your SNAP-LCSX or LCSX-PLUS controller is now ready to run OptoControl strategies. The rest of this guide
gives detailed instructions in case you need to use non-factory settings.
