How the OP-1212
Works

AutomationDirect

The purpose of the panel is to provide you with both pushbuttons (12) and lamps (12)
so that you can have status and control functions that will work with your PLC. An
additional benefit of this panel is found in the LEDs that are in the upper left hand
corner of each pushbutton. These LEDs can operate as indicators to reflect the
status of the individual pushbutton, or they can operate independent of the
pushbutton status. The LEDS can turn ON or OFF and even flash for added
attention.

To link the pushbuttons, LEDs, and lamps to your PLC, the OP-1212 uses a
technique called “memory mapping”. This technique ties the pushbuttons, LEDs,
and lamps to specific reserved areas of memory in the PLC. You can use any
available memory as long as it is consecutive.

The base register address is entered during configuration using the OPWinEdit
software. Each of the functions for the pushbuttons, LEDs, and lamps are
controlled by the status of their assigned bits within the memory words that you
have reserved. You interface these words of memory through your ladder logic.

Prior to connecting the OP-1212 to
your PLC, load the OP--WINEDIT
configuration software onto your
personal computer, and begin to
define how you want to use the
functions that have been designed
into the panel. Among other
decisions, you are prompted to fill in
a base register address. In the
example we have shown here, we
have used V40600 as the start of
the mapped memory addresses.

Allen-Bradley

The same OP--WINEDIT
configuration software used for the
AutomationDirect product is also
used for the Allen-Bradley product.
As you move through the screens,
one of the key items you complete
is the base register address for
storing data relative to the
pushbuttons. In the example, we
have used N7:0 as the start of the
mapped memory addresses. This
means the PLC file number is 7 and
the base address is 0.

Getting Started

Using the Pushbutton Panel...5 Easy Steps

Step 1: Prepare
Your Labels
(Pages 5--6)

Step 2: Install the
Panel
(Pages 7--14)

Step 3: Use
OP--WINEDIT
Software

First, you need to prepare the labels for each of
the pushbuttons and lamps. The labels insert
into plastic sleeves behind the main cover. To
access the sleeve, you merely snap loose the
front bezel.

Preparing for installation, you will want to
check the individual specifications. These
include dimensions, power requirements,
cabling requirements, and NEMA ratings.
We include information you will need for
mounting; i.e. cutout dimensions, cabling
requirements, components needed, etc.

You will need the OP--WINEDIT configuration
software in order to configure the panel and
PLC. OP--WINEDIT is ordered as a separate
item from the OptiMate panel from
AutomationDirect.
The software is used for both DirectLOGIC
and Allen--Bradley PLCs.

Step 4: Configure
the Panel to Work
with your PLC
(Pages 15)

Step 5: Write the
Ladder Logic
(Pages 19--31)

After setting a DIP switch on the rear of the panel
and attaching the programming cable, you are
ready to configure your panel. The simple and
easy-to-follow screens make configuration a
painless process.

The amount of ladder logic programming
knowledge you need is very basic. In most
cases, you are already familiar with the
elements of logic that are required. We’ll
give you examples in the final section of
this manual, and you will see right away
just how easy it is.

Preparing the labels for the OP--1212 panel requires you to slide a legend
transparency into two pockets in the panel overlay. Use the following procedure:

1. Remove the bezel from the module by unsnapping the four tangs that hold the

bezel to the module frame.

2. Create a legend transparency. There are several ways of doing this. A template is

provided on the next page that gives you the available dimensions. The nicest
legends result from using a computer graphics program and a laser printer to
create the transparency.

Installing the Panel

What Are Your
Application
Needs?

1. Point-to-Point

A single cable connection
from the PLC to the panel
gives you access to the
PLC’s data registers and
ladder logic.

Your communication cable requirements depends on your particular application.
There are two types of configuration possibilities: point-to-point (a single operator
interface connected to a PLC) and multi-drop (multiple operator interfaces
connected to a PLC).

D Point-to-Point -- If you only need one operator interface connected to one

PLC, then choose the appropriate cables from the chart on page 11.

D Multi-drop -- By using an OptiMate OP--9001 Communications Master,

multiple Optimate units can be connected to a single PLC. Up to 31 individual
units can be connected in a daisy-chain fashion to the OP--9001.
Communications are via RS422 between the OP--9001 and the operator
interfaces. When using a quality shielded cable, a total distance of up to 4000
feet between the OP--9001 and the last operator interface unit in the chain
can be achieved. If the distance is 30 feet or less, a ribbon cable with
easy-to-install crimp-on ribbon connectors can be used.

2. Multi-drop

Multiple OP-panels can be interfaced to a single PLC.
This requires the use of the OP-9001 Communications
Master. With the Communication Master, up to 31
panels can be interfaced to a single CPU port. Each can
be programmed for entirely different functions. Panels
can be distributed up to 4000 feet* from the OP-9001.

*NOTE: Please read and follow the cabling requirements in the OP-9001 User
Manual (OP-9001-M) when using multiple panels. Failure to follow the guidelines of
the User Manual may affect the integrity of the RS422 link, resulting in
communication errors.

Installing the Panel

Choosing the Proper Connecting Cables

OptiMate Panel Cables

Depending on which PLC you are
using, you may require as many
as two cables--one to connect the
panel to a personal computer for
configuration; and one to
connect the panel to the PLC.
Here are the requirements:

D OP-ACBL-1: all units require this

cable for configuration. This isa 9-pin
male to 15-pin male cable that
connects your personal computer to
the OptiMate unit. (This cable is also
used to connect an OptiMate panel to
the Allen-Bradley SLC--500 PLC.

D CPU Cables: You will also need the

appropriate cable to connect your
CPU to the OptiMate unit. Use the
chart shown to the right to choose the
correct communications cable.

D OP-ACBL-2: The8PinMini--DINisa

non standard connector used for the
Micrologix 1000. We recommend
using the OP- -ACBL--2 cable and
modifying the length for any
applications between 6.56 - - 50 ft.

OP--9001 Cable Connectors

If you’re planning to use multiple
panels and an OP--9001, then
you’ll need to build your own
custom cables. Since the proper
cable choice really depends on
your application, we offer the
following connectors.

D OP--CMCON--1 — pack of 4 ribbon

cable connectors.

D OP--CMCON--2 — pack of 4

solder-type connectors

For electrically noisy environments,
we recommend a good shielded
cable, such as Belden 9729 or
equivalent. This type of cable will
require the solder-type connectors.
If you’re going 30 feet or less, you
can use ribbon cable. For ribbon
cable, we recommend Belden
9L28015 or 3M 3365/15. See
Page 14 for more information.

Connecting a Power Supply

Power Supply
Connections

The OP-1212 panel can operate on DC voltages between 8 and 30 VDC rated at 7
watts. Connect the panel to a power supply (within the required voltage range and
wattage) using the terminal block connector supplied. The connector is polarized to
prevent reversing the connections. The male receptacle on the rear of the panel will
only connect in one way with the female connector that is supplied with your
OP-1212 panel. Pin 1 is the positive connection, while Pin 2 is the negative, or
ground, connection.

You must use an external power supply that
can deliver voltages in the 8 to 30 VDC
range, and can supply 7 watts of power.

A two-prong male con­nector is on the rear of
the unit. Your OP-panel is
shipped with the female
connector.

Install the female connector to
a cable for attachment to your
power supply.

Assigning an
Address to the
OP-1212

How to Set the
Address

A 6-position DIP switch on the rear of the OP-1212 is used to assign a hardware
address to the panel. Each panel must have a unique address. Any address
between0 and 30canbe used when communicatingbetweenapanel and a PLC
or the OP-9001 Master Communications panel. Address 31, however, is
reserved. See the note that follows.

NOTE: You must use Address No. 31 when you are configuring your OP-1212 panel.
No other address will work for the configuration process. In a similar manner, if you
are connecting more that one OP-panel to a single CPU (through an OP-9001), then
the OP-9001 needs to know which set of configuration parameters belong to which
OP-panel. You do this by assigning an address in the range of 0 to 30 to each panel
connected. Each panel must have a different address.

DIP Switch

Rear View

To set the address on the OP-1212, set the apppropriate switches on the dip switch
to the desired address. The figure below shows the binary weighting of each switch
position. Notice that it is in decimal format. To select address 14 for example, press
switches 2, 3 and 4 to the right, and switches 1, 3 and 5 to the left (2 + 4+ 8 = 14). Any
address between 0 and 30 is valid for the OptiMate-to-CPU (or to OP9001)
communications. Address 31, however selects the configuration mode. Use this
mode when you connect your personal computer to the panel for configuration. To
select address 31, turn switches 1 through 5 ON.

The Termination
Resistor

NOTE: Please note that when the dip switches are changed, the OP-1212 must be

power cycled before the new settings will take effect.

123456

Switch

On

Switch position 6 enables or disables an internal termination resistor. The OptiMate
panels communicate via an RS232 or RS422 communcations network. If a single
panel is used located less than 50 feet from the PLC, use RS232 communication
then a termination resistor will not be required (i.e. switch position 6 is turned OFF).

If a panel will be located more than 50 feet from the PLC or multiple panels are used,
RS422 must be used. For single panel installations, this means that switch 6 must

be enabled (ON). For multi-drop installations, this means the last panel only must
have switch 6 enabled (ON). All other panels must have switch 6 disabled (OFF). A
more detailed description of multiple panel installations is given in the OP-9001-M
User Manual.

Overview

Memory Mapping

The OP-1212 Lamp/Pushbutton panel provides various features and options that
can be used together or stand alone with your logic program. The link to the PLC is
one of the important aspects of the configuration process. Part of this link is called
“memory mapping”. Once the panel has been mapped and configured correctly, you
will be able to use the many functions the OP-1212 provides. This section will
discuss the functions and get you more familiar with the panel itself before showing
the actual configuration and programming examples.

Memory mapping is a technique that tells the panel what part of the PLC memory you
want to use. These memory areas are frequently referred to as registers. Once you
have selected a memory address, you will be able to manipulate the data via your
ladder logic program. The OP-1212 will occupy a bank of 6 contiguous registers as
illustrated in thetables below.In the first table, m+0 represents the first register of the
bank of memory required for mapping the OP-1212. This can be any address in your
PLC that can be used for data storage. The second table shows the bit orientation for
each panel feature. These mapping assignments will be the same for any PLC type,
the only difference being the address location selected for mapping. The information
for specific PLC types will be discussed in the Applying Ladder Logic section.

Pushbuttons

Lamps

The 12 pushbuttons on the OP-1212 panel provide a means of control for any
process connected to your PLC. The pushbuttons can be configured as either
momentary or maintained (also called alternate). The momentary pushbuttons
remain ON for as long as you are manually pressing them while the maintained will
change status every time you press them. You can select either operation for each
pushbuttons when you are configuring the panel. When the PLC and panel are
properly mapped, the pushbuttons are used just like relay contacts. If you refer to the
table above, the pushbuttons status will be determined by the status of the bits in the
m+4 memory register.

There are 12 Lamps available on the OP-1212 panethat are arranged in 3 rows of
four.The panel is shipped with all red Lamps, however, you can order additional red,
green, and yellow packs of lamps for more customized arrangements. Refer to our
catalog for the lamp kit part numbers and prices.

After the PLC and panel have been properly mapped, the lamps can be activated
bywritinga1toitsassociatedbitinthem+0 address location. The bit is turned
on via your ladder logic usually through activation of a contact. The contact c an
also be one of the 12 pushbuttons on the OP-1212 panel. We will provide
examples of these applications in the Applying Ladder Logic Section of this
manual.

Flashing the
Lamps

LEDs and
Separation Mode

Flashing the LEDs

Force Functions

Another feature of the Lamps is there ability to flash. This feature is also controlled
via your ladder logic. The flashing feature requires that the lamp is activated first,
then the corresponding bit in memory location m+1 is activated. Again, this
accomplished by activating a coil.

Each of the 12 pushbuttons on the OP-1212 have corresponding LEDs located on
the upper left hand corner. The LEDs are usually used as an indication of the
pushbutton status however, they can be configured to work independently. When
configuring the OP-1212 panel, you have the option to select LED separation
mode. If this option is selected, the LEDs will work in the same manner as the Lamps
using the ladder logic to control the status of the LED. Also, the pushbutton itself
must be configured as a momentary pushbutton. To activate an LED in this
configuration, the appropriate bit in memory location m+2 must be energized.

Just like the Lamps, the LEDs have the ability to flash. This feature is also controlled
via your ladder logic. The flashing feature requires that the LED is activated first
(memory location m+2), then the corresponding bit in memory location m+3 is
activated. Again, this is accomplished by activating a coil. As mentioned previously,
the LED is used for the status of its associated pushbutton unless it is configured for
LED separation mode. This also applies to flashing the LEDs independently of the
pushbuttons.

The OP-1212 has the capability to “force” a pushbutton ON or OFF through your
ladder logic. For example, you might have a pushbutton that starts a process, and
you want to turn it off after the process has completed. Pressing the pushbutton
would start the process (turns the pushbutton ON) and the ladder logic would turn
the pushbutton OFF after the process was complete. Since the pushbuttons must
be configured as maintained (alternate) for the force function to work, the process
would be halted until the pushbutton was activated again. The force function feature
and pushbutton option is enabled during the configuration of the panel.

There are three modes of force function available which are located in the three
most significant bits of memory location m+5.

Mode 1 (M1)-forces all Pushbuttons to reflect the status stored in m+5. For
example, the data shown below would force Pushbuttons 3, 4 and 12 to ON and all
the others would be forced OFF.Notice that bit M1 of m+5 is setto 1 for this mode. M2
and M3 are set to 0’s.

Mode 2 (M2)-forces ON only those Pushbuttons matching the bits set in
register m+5. The bits not set do not affect the status of the Pushbuttons. You would
set M2 to 1 while M1 and M3 are set to 0.

Mode 3 (M3)-forces OFF only those Pushbuttons matching the bits set in
register m+5. The bits not set do not affect the status of the Pushbuttons. You would
set M3 to 1 while M1 and M2 are set to 0.

in m+5, the bit patterns in m+4 are changed (according to the mode selected), and

Memory Mapping

PC

DirectLOGIC

The OP-1212 uses memory mapping in order to link itself to a PLC. Memory
mapping is a technique that maps the memory of the OP-1212 to the memory of the
PLC. During initial c onfiguration, the beginning address must be selected in the PLC
memory where the mapping process will start. By knowing where the data of the
specific panel is mapped, this data can be moved, changed or monitored using
ladder logic.

During configuration, you determine the starting address
for the memory mapping process.

Addressing
Conventions

DL05, DL06,

DL105, DL205

or DL405

DL305

Before going into ladder logic programming, it is good to take a moment to review
and compare the addressing conventions used by AutomationDirect and
Allen-Bradley.

DirectLOGIC Memory -- A typical address within a DirectLOGIC PLC is Vxxxx,
such as V40600 for DirectLOGIC PLCs (DL05, DL06, DL105, DL205, DL350 and
DL405 families) and Rxx, such as R16 for the DL305 family. The V-memory in the
DirectLOGIC PLCs is divided into 16-bit registers, and the R-memory in the DL305
is divided into 8-bit registers. Refer to your individual User Manuals for complete
memory information. The two diagrams below shows how the OP-1212 could be
mapped during configuration. In this example, V40600 and R16 have been chosen
as starting registers to map the OP-1212 to the PLC, but it could actually be any
available user or internal relay memory areas as long as they are consecutive:

Allen-Bradley Memory--A typical address for Allen-Bradley might be N7:0/0 or
N27:0/0. The OP-1212 will allow you to define your starting address for mapping
purposes using either Allen-Bradley’s integer (N7) file type or user-defined integer
file types (N9--N255). If you plan to use an integer file between N9 and N255, it must
be defined in the Allen-Bradley memory map before configuring the panel. Below
diagrams show how 16-bit integer files c ould be used to map the pushbuttons to the
Allen-Bradley PLC.

Applying Ladder Logic

Three Different
Ways to Use the
Panel

Method 1

:
Bit-of-Word
DirectLOGIC and
Allen-Bradley

Method

2:
Internal Relays
(All Options Used)

Depending on the type of CPU and the number of OP-1212 functions selected, there
are three different ways to interface your ladder logic with the panel.

Bit-of-Word
Internal Relays
User Memory Combined with Internal Relays

Which of these methods is best for you depends on the make and model of the PLC
you are using.

The most direct way to address the individual bits with your ladder logic is to use
“bit-of-word”. This method is available in the DL05, DL06, DL250, DL350 and DL450
DirectLOGIC PLCs and SLC 5/03 and 5/04 Allen-Bradley PLCs. Below is a rung of
logic that shows how a DirectLOGIC PLC might use the status of bit 3 to control a
process c onnected to Y12. This function will be covered in more detail further on the
next page for DirectLOGIC PLCs. Refer to page 31 for Allen-Bradley.

V2004.3

Pushbutton 4

Y12

OUT

This method is only available for AutomationDirect programmable controllers. If you
are already familiar with DirectLOGIC PLCs, then you know about internal relays.
These relays, by PLC design, are mapped to certain bits in reserved memory areas.
These relays can be mapped during configuration with OP--WINEDIT by mapping
directly to the control relay reserved memory area. Only use this method if all of

the functions are going to be used in the panel; otherwise it will consume
internal relays unnecessarily. Using this method automatically consumes 96

internal relays. In the example below, one of the mapped pushbuttons is used to
control the output Y12. Refer to Pages 24--25.

A better way to make use of internal relays when you are not using all of the OP-1212
functions is to use a process of “remapping”. With this technique the panel is
mapped to the user memory (such as V2000), then maps part of the user memory
only to those relays actually needed to be used. The example below shows ladder
logic necessary to use a pushbutton. It maps V2004 to V40604 and consumes only
16 relays. The point is--it uses only the relays necessary for the option you have
selected. More examples will be in the following pages. By convention, in this

manual, syntax of the form V2000:V40600 is used to refer to memory locations
that have been mapped together. Refer to Pages 26--30 for ladder logic
examples.

DiredtLOGIC PLCs (DL05, DL06, DL250, DL350 and DL450) all use the bit-of-word
instructions. (Refer to your particular PLC user guide). The example program shown
below uses a base register address of V2000 to map the status of the pushbuttons,
lamps, and LEDs. The ladder logic example provides a simple use for all of the panel
features. If you are unfamiliar with any of the panel features, please refer to
Understanding the OP-1212 Panel. The table shows which bits the program sets.

internal relays. The internal relays of DirectLOGIC PLCs (DL05, DL06, DL105,
DL205, DL350 and DL405) start at V40600. Using this method, the total mapping
consumes 96 internal relays, which 75 are assigned to operator functions. This
method is only used when all of the OP-1212 functions are utilized. In the examples
below, V40600 has been chosen as the starting address for DirectLOGIC PLCs.

Using the
Remapping
Process

OP--WINEDIT Configuration

The “remapping” process has been briefly discussed as a method that allows you to
easily manipulate individual bits to take advantage of the panels several functions.
All the functions are bit-controlled. By using this method, the number of relays
actually needed for the selected functions are consumed.

Use Only the Words Needed

C.

Using the remapping method, the panel configuration will automatically consume 96
consecutive memory bits in PLC User Memory (this occurs when the base register
address is configured with OP--WINEDIT). This is indicated by the arrow A. But since
User Memory doesn’t provide bit control, the User Memory will need to be remapped
with Internal Relay Memory. By remapping between User Memory and Internal
Relay Memory, the Relay Memory needed will be consumed. There are two
directions in which the ladder logic can be programmed to do the remapping
between User Memory and Internal Relay Memory:

For using the Pushbutton Status to control outputs, write ladder logic to map User

Memory to Internal Relay Memory (arrow B). This affects the User Memory in the
m+4 location.

For controlling all other functions of the panel, write the ladder logic to map Internal

Relay Memory to User Memory (arrow C). This affects the User Memory in
locations m+0 through m+3 and m+5.

The two relay ladder examples of remapping below demonstrate the two types of
remapping that can be used with this technique. Assume that V2000 was used as
the base register address:

Example of User Memory being mapped to Internal Relay Memory

m+4 =V2004

remapping = V2004:40604

Example of Internal Relay Memory being mapped to User Memory

m =V2000

remapping = V40600:V2000

Here we are using SP1 to map V2004 to V40604.
This consumes 16 relay bits, 12 of which are tied to
the 12 pushbuttons of the panel. By pressing
Pushbutton 3, you affect the status of the third relay
in V40604 which is C102. In turn, C102 will control
output Y12.

Here we are using SP1 to map V40600 to V2000.
This consumes 16 relay bits, 12 of which are tied to
the 12 Lamps of the panel. When a relay is ON, its
corresponding Lamp is ON. By turning ON X12 with
our ladder logic, we can thus turn on the Lamp
corresponding to C2. C2 is bit 2 of the V40600 word

C2

and is tied to Lamp 3 through the mapping process.

address for a DirectLOGIC PLC, then SP1 (always ON relay) is used in the ladder
logic to perform the remapping. When using SP1, the remapping is performed on
each scan, otherwise m+0 and m+1 would not be updated.

Troubleshooting

Panel
Configuration

This section is intended to help you through some typical situations that might occur
while using the OP-1212. It is difficult to diagnose or solve all probable situations that
may arise, therefore this section will discuss some of the more common trouble
areas.

To help isolate the problem area, these problems have been divided into three
sections:

D Panel Configuration
D Panel to PLC Communications
D Panel Operation

If you continue to have a problem after applying this section, please contact our
Technical Support team. Someone will be available between 9:00 am and 6:00 pm
(EST) Monday through Friday. Phone [phone] .

When I try to download the configuration, the message ”could not
communicate with panel” appears.

D Examine the two LEDs on the rear of the panel that show the state of the

communication link. If the RX LED blinks but the TX LED does not, verify that
you are using the appropriate cables.

D If the RX LED does not blink, the communication cable i s plugged into the

wrong serial port of the PC, the cable is faulty, or the panel is faulty.

D If the TX LED and/or the RX LED is blinking very slowly while you are

attempting to download and all of the Lamps and LEDs are blinking, verify
that the panel address is set to 31 (all positions ON) and power cycle the
panel.

Panel to PLC
Communications

I have configured the panel and connected it to my PLC. All of the lights are
flashing and nothing seems to work. What do I do?

D Observe the TX and RX LEDs on the rear of the panel. If the TX LED flashes

but the RX does not, check all cables and connections and try again.

D Examine the configuration and verify the Link and Comm. information match

the PLC type and family that you are using (i.e. baud rate, parity, stop bit,
address).

D If you are using the secondary comm port on a DirectLOGIC PLC and both

TX and RX LEDs are flashing verify the mode of that port is set to HEX and
not ASCII.

D If you are using a Allen--Bradley PLC, verify that the baud rate for channel 0

is set to 4800 or 9600 and the memory map has been expanded to include
the full range of registers (i.e., N7:0 through N7:7).

When I press a pushbutton nothing happens.

D Verify that the control relays that you are using in your ladder logic match the

ones associated with the memory location that you mapped to the panel.

Troubleshooting the OP- 1212

D If you are remapping, make sure that you are remapping in the proper

direction and that you are using a contact that is always ON as the input to
the remapping logic. Remapping must be performed every scan to function
properly.

SP1

m+4 =V2004

remapping = V2004:40604

When I activate a bit to light a pushbutton LED, it does not light.

D Verify that you are using the correct address. The base address you chose

during panel configuration determines the proper addresses to use.

D If you are remapping, make sure that you are remapping in the proper

direction and that you are using a contact that is always ON as the input to
the remapping logic. Remapping must be performed every scan to function
properly.

D Verify that LED Separation Mode was enabled during panel configuration.

When I press a pushbutton the associated LED does not turn ON.

D If the LED Separation Mode was enabled, the LED will work independently of

the pushbutton. In this case the LED will be turned ON by the ladder logic
program.

D The pushbutton may be configured as momentary. In this case the LED will

be ON only as long as the pushbutton is being pressed.

Here we are using SP1 to map V2004 to V40604.
This consumes 16 relay bits, 12 of which are tied
to the 12 pushbuttons of the panel. By pressing
Pushbutton 3, you affect the status of the third
relay in V40604 which is C102. In turn, C102 will
control output Y12.

I can not make the lamp flash. What could I be doing wrong?

D Remember that to flash a lamp, it must be turned ON first. Verify that you are

turning the Lamp ON before you activated the flashing option.

No preventative maintenance is required. To clean the exterior of the panel
disconnect the input power and carefully wipe the panel with a cloth moistened with
plain water.

There are no internal fuses for the input power circuits, so external circuit protection
is needed to ensure the safety of service personnel and the safe operation of the
equipment itself. To comply with EU specifications, the input power must be fused.
Use a fuse rated at twice the input current rating of the panel. For example, if the
panel has an input current rating of 0.5 amperes, use a fuse rated for 1 ampere.
