Power Supply
The controller requires an external 12VDC or 24VDC power supply.
A non-isolated power supply can be used if a 0V signal is connected to the chassis.
Install an external circuit breaker. Guard against short-
circuiting in external wiring.
Double-check all wiring before turning on the
power supply.
Do not connect either the ‘Neutral or ‘Line’ signal of the
110/220VAC to device’s 0V pin.
In the event of voltage fluctuations or non-conformity to
voltage power supply specifications, connect the device
to a regulated power supply.
Earthing the Power Supply
To maximize system performance, avoid electromagnetic interference by:
Mounting the controller on a metal panel.
Earthing the controller’s power supply: connect one end of a 14 AWG wire to the chassis
signal; connect the other end to the panel.
Note: If possible, the wire used to earth the power supply should not exceed 10 cm in length.
However, it is recommended to earth the controller in all cases.
Communication Port
Turn off power before making communications connections.
Caution
Signals are related to the controller’s 0V; the same 0V is used by the power supply.
Always use the appropriate port adapters.
The serial port is not isolated. If the controller is used with a non-isolated external
device, avoid potential voltage that exceeds ± 10V.
Port 1 is type RJ-11 and may be set to either RS232 or RS485 via jumper as shown below.
By factory default, the port is set to RS232, termination ON.
Use RS232 to download programs from a PC, and to communicate with serial devices
and applications, such as SCADA.
Use RS485 to create a multi-drop network containing up to 32 devices.
