There are 4 ports with 8 I/O pins and one ground pin, #5 on each port. Each pin of each port can be individually addressed and programmed to be high or low. The “power ON” status of each pin is also fully programmable. Each pin can be programmed as an input pin or output pin. If the pin is programmed as an output pin, it can be set to high or low. When set to high, the I/O pin is pulled to 5 volts with a 10k resistor. When set to low, the I/O pin can sink up to 25 mA. If the pin is programmed as input then this pin is internally pulled up to 5 volts with a 10k resistor. In this condition external circuitry or switch can set the input high or low. The CP7317RS provides feedback through RS-232 port at any time when transition on the pin of any I/O port occurs. Transition on the pin from low to high or from high to low will produce different feedback codes on RS-232 port. These feedback codes are fully programmable and can also be fully disabled.

4.4INTERNAL POWER SUPPLY

The CP7317RS comes with its own built-in power supply, which will work with either 100 or 240 volts. To change the input voltage for this unit, follow the procedure below:

1.Remove the fuse box.

2.Remove the gray fuse holder from the fuse box, by gently squeezing the black tabs together.

3.Look on the rear of the gray fuse holder. You will find two numbers (110 and 220), turn the gray fuse holder to the desired voltage.

4.Gently insert the fuse holder in the fuse box.

5.Check the display window for the proper voltage setting.

4.5SOFTWARE & CUSTOM PROGRAMMING

Soon the CP7317RS will be supplied with a Windows based software that allows easy configuring and programming of the unit through a computer.

The ASCII and binary communication formats are currently available. As an option, custom programming is available. If you know your requirements and would like for ALTINEX to program the unit prior to shipment, our technical support team will be happy to discuss your needs and provide programming at a very reasonable fee.

4.6ASCII (RS-232) COMMUNICATION

ASCII commands for controlling the CP7317RS Controller are divided into two categories: Programming commands and control commands. These commands are sent or received through the RS-232 port of the controller.

A.Programming commands are used to setup the CP7317RS Controller. The action of these commands is stored in a non-volatile memory and is maintained in “POWER ON/OFF” service.

B.Control commands are used to operate CP7317RS Controllers in everyday use. Control commands are lost when the unit is powered down.
