Specifications P ow er 12 VDC @ 160 mA Processor On board 32-bit proc essor and 384K (of non-volatile memor y) run Axcess programs independent of the control system.
Installation and Wiring 3 AXB-232++ RS-232/422/485 Interface Installation and Wiring The AXB-232++ can be used as an independent RS-232/422/485 -controlled in terface by setting the internal jumpers. C onfigure the communication pa rameters usin g the DIP switches on the front panel.
Installation and Wiring 4 AXB-232++ RS-232/422/485 Interface Setting jumper JP5 to set the RS-422 port for RS-48 5 use 1. Disconnect the RS-232/ 422/485 connectors. 2. Unscre w the two scre ws on the rear panel, and remove the panel. 3. Slide the circuit board out of the enclosure.
Installation and Wiring 5 AXB-232++ RS-232/422/485 Interface Setting the RS-232/42 2 DIP switc h Set the stop bits, data bits, parit y , and baud rate on the RS-2 32/422 DIP switch, located on the front panel (see FIG.
Installation and Wiring 6 AXB-232++ RS-232/422/485 Interface Wiring De vices to the AXB-232++ Preparing cap tive wires T o connect the wiring into a captiv e-wire connector: 1. Strip 1/4 inch off the wire insulation for all four wires. 2. T in 2/3 of the exposed wire.
Installation and Wiring 7 AXB-232++ RS-232/422/485 Interface Using RS-232 When communicating via RS -232, connect t he wiring as sh o wn in FIG. 6. Using Hard ware Handshaking When the controlled device requires hardw are handshaking, connect the wiri ng as sho wn in FIG.
Installation and Wiring 8 AXB-232++ RS-232/422/485 Interface Rack- mounting the AXB-232++ (optional) T o rack-mount the AXB-23 2++ into the optional A C-RK Accessory Rack Kit: 1. Remov e any connected po wer, and AXlink a nd RS-232 connectors from the rear panel.
