describes the steps necessary to ensure trouble-free OIT system operation. Please

read this booklet carefully!!

Static Awareness

It is best NOT to remove the rear cover on the OIT except when accessing the
terminal block pins or panel mounting the OIT. When the rear cover is removed,
the circuitry inside is exposed to possible damage by electrostatic discharge during
handling. Minimize the possibility of electrostatic discharge by:

CAUTION

• Discharging personal static by grounding yourself prior to handling the OIT.

• Handling the OIT at static-free, grounded work stations.

• Connecting the chassis of the OIT to a clean ground.

• Placing the OIT into an anti-static bag during transport.

Unpacking the Unit

Carefully unpack the OIT. Please read any instructions or cautions that appear on
the shipping container. Check all material in the container against the enclosed
packing list. Maple Systems, Inc., will not accept responsibility for shortages
against the packing list unless notified within 30 days. The equipment and its
accessories were inspected and tested by MapleSystems before shipment; all of the

Figure 1 Control Panel Example

1.1. Control Panel Grounding

• The control panel should be connected to a good, high-integrity earth ground
both for safety considerations and shielding purposes. This must be a reliable
earth ground with a low-resistance path. The ideal earth ground would be a
copper grounding rod located close to the OIT and the control panel.

• Hinged doors on control panels do not provide a long term electrical connection
to the rest of the enclosure. Corrosion develops over time and prevents good
electrical contact. For this reason, a separate wire braid should be installed from
the hinged control panel to the rest of the enclosure.

1.2. Power Supply Selection

• The power supply used to power the OIT should have an output between +12
and +30 VDC. The voltage should measure between +12 and +30V at the OIT
between Pins 2 and 3 of the OIT terminal block. A 24 VDC, 0.5 amp linear
power supply dedicated to the OIT is recommended.

• The power leads on the operating cable for the OIT should be 18AWG
2-conductor wire with a shield wire and protective shield foil. The shield of the
OIT operating cable must be connected to earth ground atboth ends of the cable.
Please refer to Section 2.

• A power line filter installed at the AC input to the OIT power supply is highly
recommended as a safeguard against conducted RF noise, which is often present
on factory power lines. The wires connecting the output of the power line filter
to the power supply should be kept as short as possible to minimize any
additional noise pickup. The case of the power line filter should be connected to
a quiet earth ground. The powerline filter should have a current ratingof at least
three amps with common mode and differential mode attenuation.

• The power supply that provides power to the OIT should not be used to power
switching relays orsolenoids unless noisefilter caps areconnected to each relay.

1.3. OIT Cable Routing

• Always route the OIT operating cable away from any AC voltage or host
controller wires.

• Never bundle the OIT cables together with 120 VAC power wires or with relay
wiring.

• Try to keep at least 8 inches (20 cm) of separation between the OIT cables and
other power wiring. If voltages greater than 120 VAC are used in the system,
greater separation is required.

• If theOIT cables mustcome near ACwiring, make sure theycross at 90degrees.

• Running AC power wires in a separate grounded conduit is the preferred method
for electrical noise reduction.

• Keep the lengths of the OIT cables as short as possible. Do not coil excess cable
and place it next to AC powered equipment.

1.4. Other Steps to Improve Noise Immunity

1010-0046A, REV 00

• Always install the OIT’s rear cover. This provides a shield against electrical
noise which can be generated in thecontrol panel by relays, motors, power lines,
and/or high frequency equipment. Ensure that all rear cover mounting screws
are properly secured.

• Any equipment used in the enclosure that operates at high frequency or high
current levels can be covered with a grounded metal shield.

5-wire RS-422/485 supports full-duplex communications; which means that the
host controller can trasmit data to the OITs and receive data from the OITs at the
same time. 3-wire RS-422/485 only supports half-duplex communications; which
means that the host controller cannot transmit and receive data at the same time.
Although 3-wire RS-422/485 installations may be less costly than 5-wire
installations, the increased complexity in programming the host controller for
3-wire RS-422/485 may increase development time.

INSTALLATION MANUAL 11

There are several different forms of communications networks. Maple Systems’
OITs utilize the multidrop format. The host controller, located at oneof the network
ends, is connected to the OITs via a continuous com-link. Each OIT is connected to
the network by locally tapping into the com-link with short stub cables. The end of
the com-link must be properly terminated to reduce noise pickup and interference.
The total length of the com-link, from the host controller to the network cable
terminator, can be up to 4,000 feet.

If you decide to use 3-wire RS-422/485, the following limitations apply:

• The host controller must disable or tri-state its RS-485 transmitter when it is not

sending data to the OITs on the network. To simplify programming, the host
should disable or tri-state its RS-485 receiver whenever transmitting.

• The ability to stay logged on to a particular OIT by sending the command terminator

instead of the line terminator is not available in this mode. Therefore, each command
sent from the host controller should end with the appropriate line terminator.

• If the host controller sends acommand that requires aresponse from the OIT,the

host controller must wait for a response from the OIT before sending another
command. Otherwise, a situation can occur in which the OIT and the host
controller attempt to transmit at the same time cuasing unpredictable results.

• The ASCII strings sent by the OIT’s function keys should not include any

control characters which the other OITs on the network could misinterpret, such
as the line terminator or command terminator.

1010-0046A, REV 00

12 MAP450D

Network Termination

The com-link cable must be properly terminated to reduce the amount of
interference and noise pickup from the surrounding environment. This is
accomplished by using a termination circuit at both ends of the network cable. The
following figure shows a typical termination circuit. The host termination is only
needed if the host controller’s RS-422/485 adapter does not contain any built-in
terminator circuitry. The end termination must be done at the extreme end of the
com-link cable.

The cable shield must not be used as the signal ground.

It is tempting to try and reduce the cost of 5-wire cabling by using a 4-wire cable
with the shield used as the signal ground. DON’T DO IT. The initial cost savings
are always exceeded by the maintenance costs once the system is operating under
field conditions. It is often necessary to completely replace the network com-link
with the propercable (5-wire plusshield) to eliminatenoise problems in the system.

The signal ground must not be connected to the chassis or earth ground.

The chassis or earth ground is intended as a safety ground for power supplies, EMI
filters, voltage spikeprotection circuits, 120 VAC neutral returns, andall manner of
AC and DC driven devices. As a result, the chassis or earth ground can carry large
voltage potentials and currents. Connecting the signal ground to chassis or earth
ground can damage the devices connected to the com-link.

2.4. Set Jumper for 3-Wire RS-422/485

This step is required only if the OIT will be communicating with the host controller
using RS-485 half-duplex 3-wire communication.

3.1. Panel Mount

The OIT is installed in a panel by separating the front and rear covers of the OIT,
and then sandwichingthe panel betweenthe two. The gasketed surfaceof the OIT’s
front cover provides the environmental seal to NEMA 4 and NEMA 12 standards.
The rear cover helps shield the OIT from dust, dirt, induced electrical noise, and
physical damage.

The OIT is mounted using four
#6-32UNC screws sandwiching
the OIT halves to panel. Screw
length is equal to panel thickness
plus 1/2 inch.

NOTE: The mounting screws
must not be torqued to
more than 18 pound-inches.
Over-torquing can strip the
threads in the front half.

extra care should be taken. The display can be damaged if the display cable
connector, which protrudes from the panel cutout, is touching the panel when
tightened. To avoid damage, place the MAP450D gently onto the panel while
monitoring for this condition.

3.2. Pedestal/Pendent Mount

The OIT is installed onto a pedestal/pendent by removing the four rubber feet from
the rear cover of the OIT, then attaching the OIT to a mounting plate using the four

4. Configuring the MAP450D

The MAP450D has many operating parameters that control how it communicates
to the host controller. These operating parameters can be changed in three ways:
from the MAP450D’s keyboard when it is in Configuration mode, when the host
controller sends a Configuration Control Command, or by downloading a
STEPware-100 project. This chapter explains how to connect the MAP450D to a
PC so youcan download aproject from theSTEPware-100 configuration software.

4.1. Connecting the MAP450D to a PC

First, remove the operating cable from the terminal block pins. Next, connect an
RS-232 serial communications cable (Maple Systems P/N 7431-0048) to the
proper COM port on your computer and the terminal block pins on the MAP450D.

Differences Between MAP450D and MAP450B

The MAP450D uses the same enclosure, display, keyboard and overlay as the MAP450B, but
includes the following differences:

1. The MAP450D can be configured using the Windows-based STEPware-100 configuration
software.

2. The MAP450D stores and displays up to 500 user-definable messages.

3. The MAP450D stores the configuration parameters and user-definable messages in flash
memory.

4. The MAP450D is CE certified; it passes strenuous tests for noise immunity and emissions.

5. Local setup mode is entered by pressing and holding the Clear key instead of the S key
while the <<<Initializing>>> prompt is on the display. Local setup mode can also be
entered after initialization by pressing the Enter key three times.

6. The power supply input requirement is +12 to 30 VDC instead of +5or 8 to 13 VDC.

7. The MAP450D offers 2 LCD viewing angles instead of 10.

8. The MAP450D uses a non-removable terminal block instead of a removable terminal block
for both the communications and power wiring.

9. The Set Serial Interface Command (ESC S) is no longer supported. To maintain backwards
compatibility the command is recognized but ignored.
