3.Select option 2.

2 - Edit system configuration Then, press ENTER to continue.

4.Select either option 5 or option 6:

5 - Change DIGITAL_INPUT configuration or

6 - Change DIGITAL_OUTPUT configuration Then, press ENTER to continue.

5.The program will step you through the process of adding a new statement to assign the appropriate I/O signals to a block, and then to a byte (1 to 4) within a block. With the sDIO, the first 8 input channels are mapped to byte 1, the second 8 input channels to byte 2, and so on. See sDIO Signal Mapping Example 1. Using this process, you must assign groups of signal numbers to bytes 1 to 4 for each block. See the sDIO Signal Mapping Example 2 for the input settings of a system with two sDIO modules. When you are done editing the I/O choose not to add a new statement.

6.Save the changes, if you are satisfied with your choices.

7.Continue to select 0 to return through the higher menus. Select 0 once more to exit to the system monitor.

8.Disconnect your AdeptWindowsPC or serial communication session to the SmartController.

9.Cycle the 24VDC input power to the sDIO.

10.Cycle the 24VDC input power to the SmartController.

11.Reconnect your AdeptWindowsPC or serial communication session to the SmartController.

RS-422/485, XSYS, XUSR, RS-232/TERM specifications

Nortech Systems offers a comprehensive suite of serial communication solutions, including RS-232/TERM, XUSR, XSYS, and RS-422/485 interfaces. These products are designed to facilitate reliable and high-speed data transmission in various industrial applications, making them essential for connecting devices in automation, telecommunications, and data acquisition systems.

The RS-232/TERM interface is a widely adopted standard for serial communication, known for its simplicity and robustness. It supports point-to-point communication over relatively short distances, typically up to 50 feet. Key features include a maximum baud rate of up to 115.2 kbps, error-checking capabilities, and a straightforward connection process, making it ideal for connecting peripheral devices like printers, modems, and barcode scanners.

Building on the RS-232 standard, the XUSR and XSYS devices offer enhanced functionalities and flexibility. XUSR, for instance, supports not just traditional RS-232 connections, but also protocol conversion for various serial interfaces, facilitating seamless integration of legacy systems with modern networking technologies. It is particularly useful in environments where multiple protocols need to be managed simultaneously.

XSYS is designed for more complex applications and supports advanced communication features such as multi-drop configurations, enabling it to connect multiple devices on a single bus. This makes it suitable for extensive industrial networks where space and wiring complexity need to be minimized. Synchronous and asynchronous data transfer modes ensure that the XSYS is adaptable for both real-time data collection and standard command-response applications.

On the other hand, RS-422/485 interfaces excel in long-distance communication, allowing for data transmission over distances up to 4,000 feet. They are designed for multi-point connections, supporting up to 32 devices on a single bus through differential signaling, which enhances noise immunity. These characteristics make RS-422/485 particularly well-suited for environments with electromagnetic interference, such as factories or subways.

Nortech Systems’ serial communication solutions emphasize reliability, ease of use, and versatility. With their commitment to high performance and user satisfaction, these interfaces provide critical connectivity in today’s increasingly automated and interconnected world. Whether in data centers, manufacturing setups, or remote sensor networks, Nortech's offerings stand out for their reliability, efficiency, and adaptability, ensuring effective data communication across diverse applications.
