Configurable serial protocols for communication to drives, PLC’s, or other serial peripherals.
Advanced control capabilities including floating point, multiple auto tuning PID loops and string
handling capabilities.
Removable Media for up to two gigabytes of storage of programs, data logging or screen captures.
System Key and Configurable Function Keys
USB networking port for communication with PC’s and programming of controller.
Ethernet (10/100 MHz)
Smart Stack I/O Expansion and Smart Stix remote I/O.
Cscape programming software allowing all aspects of QX351 to be programmed and configured from
one integrated application.
b. CsCAN Network
The QX351 has the CsCAN networking port for communication with remote I/O, other controllers or PC’s. (CsCAN is pronounced “see-scan”). CAN-based network hardware is used in the controllers because of CAN’s automatic error detection, ease of configuration, low-cost of design and implementation and ability to operate in harsh environments. Networking abilities are built-in to the QX351 and require no external or additional modules.
Figure 2.3: Pass through Function (Available in CsCAN Networks Only)
The QX351 features the ability to pass through programming commands. When attached to a QX351 serial port, a programming package (i.e., Cscape) can access other QX units or any other OCS unit connected to a CsCAN network by passing the programming command through the serial port to the network port. One Cscape package (connected to one QX unit) can program all QX or other OCS units on the CsCAN network. When several QX models are networked together to achieve a specific purpose, the system acts like a large parallel-processing controller.
c. Cscape Software
QX351 hardware is programmed with a Windows-based PC application called Cscape (HE500OSW232). Cscape (pronounced “see-scape”) stands for Control Station Central Application Programming Environment. Provided there is one serial connection to one node on the network (i.e., CsCAN Network), the operator has control over the entire system. The operator can upload, download, monitor and debug to any node on the network.
This application can be used to program, configure, monitor and debug all aspects of the QX351 unit. It is used for programming QX351 OCS ladder logic, programming user displays for the QX351 OCS, configuring the network for global digital and analog data, setting system-wide security and monitoring controllers in the system.

3.6 Factors Affecting Panel Layout Design and Clearances
applicable electrical codes and standards.
The designer of a panel layout needs to assess the requirements of a particular system and to consider the following design factors.
3.6.1 Clearance / Adequate Space
Install devices to allow sufficient clearance to open and close the panel door.
Table 3.1 – Minimum Clearance Requirements for Panel Box and Door
Minimum Distance between base of device and sides of
cabinet
2 inches (50.80mm)
Minimum Distance between base of device and wiring ducts 1.5 inches (38.10mm)
If more than one device installed in panel box (or on door):
Minimum Distance between bases of each device
4 inches between bases of each
device (101.60mm)
When door is closed:
Minimum distance between device and closed door
(Be sure to allow enough depth for QX351 OCS)
2 inches (50.80mm)
3.6.2 Grounding
applicable electrical codes and standards.
Panel box: The panel box needs to be properly connected to earth ground to provide a good common ground reference.
Panel door: Tie a low impedance ground strap between the panel box and the panel door to ensure that they have the same ground reference.
3.6.3 Temperature / Ventilation
Ensure that the panel layout design allows for adequate ventilation and maintains the specified ambient temperature range. Consider the impact on the design of the panel layout if operating at the extreme ends of the ambient temperature range. For example, if it is determined that a cooling device is required, allow adequate space and clearances for the device in the panel box or on the panel door.
3.6.4 Orientation
When panel-mounted, there are no orientation restrictions on the QX351 OCS.
3.6.5 Noise
Consider the impact on the panel layout design and clearance requirements if noise suppression devices are needed. Be sure to maintain an adequate distance between the QX351 OCS and noisy devices such as relays, motor starters, etc.

MAN0892-03-EN CH.3
3.6.6 Shock and Vibration
The QX351 OCS has been designed to operate in typical industrial environments that can inflict some shock and vibration on the unit. For applications that can inflict excessive shock and vibration, use proper dampening techniques or relocate the QX351 OCS to a location that minimizes shock and / or vibration.
3.7 Panel Layout Design and Clearance Checklist
The following list provides highlights of panel layout design factors. ____Meets the electrical code and applicable standards for proper grounding, etc.? ____Meets the panel manufacturer’s requirements for grounding, etc.? ____Is the panel box properly connected to earth ground? Is the panel door properly grounded? Has the
appropriate procedure been followed to properly ground the devices in the panel box and on the panel door?
____Are minimum clearance requirements met? Can the panel door be easily opened and closed? Is
there adequate space between device bases as well as the sides of the panel and wiring ducts? ____Is the panel box deep enough to accommodate the QX351? ____Is there adequate ventilation? Is the ambient temperature range maintained? Are cooling or heating
devices required? ____Are noise suppression devices or isolation transformers required? Is there adequate distance
between the base of the QX351 OCS and noisy devices such as relays or motor starters? Ensure
that power and signal wires are not routed in the same conduit. ____Are there other requirements that impact the particular system, which need to be considered?

CHAPTER 4: ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
4.1 Initial Electrical Installation
Initially, it is important to refer to the data sheet sent with the product in the box. The datasheet covers: a. Ports and Connectors
b. Wiring and Pin-outs Visit our website (http://www.heapg.com/) to obtain updates to datasheets and user documentation.
4.2 Grounding Definition Ground: The term Ground is defined as a conductive connection between a circuit or piece of
equipment and the earth. Grounds are fundamentally used to protect an application from harmful interference causing either physical damage such as by lightning or voltage transients or from circuit disruption often caused by radio frequency (RF) interference.
4.3 Ground Specifications
Ideally, a ground resistance measurement from equipment to earth ground is 0 ohms. In reality it typically is higher. The U.S. National Electrical Code (NEC) states the resistance to ground shall not exceed 25 ohms. Horner APG recommends less than 15 ohms resistance from our equipment to ground. Resistance greater than 25 ohms can cause undesirable or harmful interference to the device.
4.4 How to Test for Good Ground
In order to test ground resistance, a Ground Resistance Tester must be used. A typical Ground Resistance Meter Kit contains a meter, two or three wire leads, and two ground rods. Instructions are supplied for either a two-point or three-point ground test. Figure 4.1 shows a two-point ground connection test.

CHAPTER 5: SERIAL COMMUNICATIONS
5.1 Overview
All QX351 OCS models provide two serial ports, which are implemented with 8-pin modular RJ45 connectors, and are labeled MJ1 and MJ2. Either MJ1/MJ2 serial port can be used for QX351 OCS programming by connecting it to the COM port of a PC running Cscape. In addition, both MJ1 and MJ2 can be used for application-specific communication, using a variety of standard data exchange protocols.
5.2 Port Descriptions
The MJ1 serial port contains both a half-duplex RS-485 interface and an RS-232 interface with RTS/CTS handshaking.
The MJ2 serial port contains both a full-duplex RS-485 interface and an RS-232 interface with no handshaking. Both the MJ1 and MJ2 RS-485 interfaces provide switchable termination and bias resistors internally.
5.3 Wiring Figure 5.1 along with Table 5.1and Table 5.2 show how the MJ1 and MJ2 serial port pins are assigned.

the option that is desired.
SW1 - ON enables MJ2 RS485 port termination (121 Ohms). OFF disables MJ2 RS485 port termination.
SW2 & SW3 - ON places MJ2 RS485 port in half-duplex mode. OFF places MJ2 RS485 port in full­ duplex mode.
SW4 - ON enables MJ1 RS485 port termination (121 Ohms). OFF disables MJ1 RS485 port termination.
5.4 RS-485 Termination
Proper RS-485 termination minimizes reflections and improves reliability. Both serial ports allow an internal RS-485 termination resistor to be placed across pins 1 and 2 by DIP
Switch Setting. Only the two devices physically located at the endpoints of the RS-485 network should be terminated.
5.5 RS-485 Biasing
RS-485 biasing passively asserts a line-idle state when no device is actively transmitting, which is useful for multi-drop RS-485 networking.
Both serial ports allow internal RS-485 bias resistors to be switched in, pulling pin 1 up to 3.3V and pulling pin 2 down to ground. The Set Serial Ports item in the System Menu can be used to enable RS-485 biasing. Also, an application graphics screen that writes to %SR164 can do the same thing. Setting %SR164.1 enables MJ1 biasing and setting %SR164.2 enables MJ2 biasing.
If biasing is used, it should be enabled in only one of the devices attached to the RS-485 network. It is recommended to have single BIAS otherwise network may be more susceptible to electrical noise.
5.6 Cscape Programming via Serial Port The QX351 OCS MJ1 and MJ2 serial ports support CsCAN Programming Protocol. If a PC COM port is
connected to the QX351 OCS MJ1/MJ2 serial port, Cscape can access the QX351 OCS for programming and monitoring.
5.7 Ladder-Controlled Serial Communication Using Serial Communication function blocks, both MJ1 and MJ2 support Generic, Modbus Master and
Modbus Slave Protocols. In addition, external modems can be connected and accessed using Init, Dial and Answer Modem function blocks.

CHAPTER 6: CAN COMMUNICATIONS
Note: For additional CAN information, refer to the CAN Networks manual (
6.1 Overview
All QX351 OCS models provide a CAN networking port, which is implemented with a 5-pin connector. The connector is labeled NET1.
MAN0799) on our
website.
Figure 6.1: NET 1 Connector
Like the MJ1 serial port, the NET1 port can be used for QX351 OCS programming by connecting it to the CAN port of a PC running Cscape. The NET1 port also allows the QX351 OCS to exchange global data with other OCS/RCS controllers and to access remote Network I/O devices (SmartStix Modules).
6.2 Port Description
The QX351 OCS NET1 port implements the ISO 11898-2 physical layer and the CAN 2.0A data link layer standards. Also, since the NET1 port is powered by an internal isolated power supply, external CAN power is not required.
6.3 CAN (NET1) Port Wiring
This section shows how the CsCAN port pins are assigned.

6.4 Cscape Programming via CAN
The NET1 port supports CsCAN Programming Protocol. If a PC has a CAN interface installed (via PCI card or USB), and the PC CAN port is connected to the QX351 OCS NET1 port, Cscape can access the QX351 OCS for programming and monitoring.
In addition, the QX351 OCS supports single-point-programming of all OCS devices that are connected to a CAN network. If the PC COM port is connected to the QX351 MJ1 serial port, it can act as a pass­through gateway allowing Cscape to access all OCS devices that are attached to the CAN network.
6.5 Ladder-Controlled CAN Communication
Using Put and Get Network Words function blocks, the NET1 port can exchange digital and analog global data with other OCS devices (nodes) attached to the CAN network.
In addition, Put and Get Network Heartbeat function blocks allow nodes on the CAN network to regularly announce their presence and to detect the presence (or absence) of other nodes on the network.
6.6 Using CAN for I/O Expansion (Network I/O)
Connecting Network I/O devices (SmartStix Modules) to the NET1 port allows the QX351 OCS I/O to be economically expanded and distributed. A variety of SmartStix Modules are available for this purpose.

MAN0892-03-EN CH. 7
4. Configure the Ethernet Module parameters as follows:
IP Address: Enter the static IP Address for the Ethernet Module being configured.
Note: IP Addresses are entered as four numbers, each ranging from 0 to 255. These four numbers
are called octets and they are always separated by decimal points.
Net Mask: Enter the Net Mask (sometimes called Subnet Mask) being used by all nodes on the local network. Typical local networks use Class C IP Addresses, in which case the low octet (rightmost number) is used to uniquely identify each node on the local network. In this case, the default Net Mask value of 255.255.255.0 should be used.
Gateway: Enter the IP Address of a Gateway Server on the local network that allows for communication outside of the local network. To prevent the Ethernet Module from communicating outside the local network, set the Default Gateway IP Address to 0.0.0.0 (the default setting).
Status Register: Enter an OCS Register reference (such as %R100) to indicate which 16-bit OCS register will have the Ethernet Status word written to it. Table 7.1 shows how this register value is formatted and explains the meaning of each bit in the Status Word.

Version Register: Enter an OCS Register reference (such as %R101) to indicate which 16-bit OCS register will have the Ethernet Firmware Version written to it. The value stored in the Version Register is: (Ethernet Firmware Version * 100). For example, for Ethernet Firmware Version 4.30, the Version register will contain 430.
Ethernet Module Register Usage - Standard Configuration
To perform Standard Configuration, simply leave the Enhanced Configuration checkbox unchecked. In this case, Net Mask and Gateway cannot be assigned to OCS registers, while IP Address, Status and Version must be assigned to OCS registers.
Note that the assigned IP Address register’s Direction can set to Read only or Read / Write. If the register is Read only, the Default IP Address becomes the unit’s IP Address and is loaded into
the assigned register, where it can be read by the application. (Note: In this case, the low octet of the IP Address can be replaced with the unit’s CAN Network ID, by checking the Use CAN ID for last Octet checkbox.)
February 25, 2010 Page 33 of 109 #1039
Page 34
CH. 7 MAN0892-03-EN
If the register is Read / Write, the application should write an IP Address to the assigned register, and this value will then be the unit’s IP Address. (In this case, the Default IP Address is used only if communication is lost during an I/O configuration download; otherwise the Default IP Address is ignored.)
Ethernet Module Register Usage - Enhanced Configuration
To perform Enhanced Configuration, first check the Enhanced Configuration checkbox. In this case, IP Address, Net Mask, Gateway, Status and Version can all be optionally assigned to OCS registers. By default, the register edit boxes are empty indicating that no registers are assigned.
As with the IP Address register (described in the Standard Configuration section above), Net Mask and Gateway register Directions can be set to Read Only or Read / Write.
Ethernet Module Register Usage – General
For the Status and Version registers (if configured), the Direction settings are always Read Only. The Use CAN ID for last Octet checkbox does not affect Net Mask, Gateway, Status or Version
configuration.
Ethernet Module Protocol Configuration
The Protocol Support area contains a list of all the protocols supported by the platform being configured. To activate a protocol, check its checkbox.
For protocols that require additional configuration, click on a listed protocol to select it and then click the Configure Selected Protocol button. This will open a new dialog with configuration options for the selected protocol.
For detailed information on individual protocol configuration refer latest version of ETN 300 Manual SUP0740.

CHAPTER 8: REMOVABLE MEDIA
8.1 Micro SD Overview
All QX351 OCS models provide a slot for a Micro SD memory card. The Removable Media manager is a graphic object that allows viewing the filenames, size and dates of files and directories on a Micro SD card. The operator can optionally change directories, delete files and format a new SD card. This object also supplies status information such as color change on card OK, card full and card missing status. The file view includes total card capacity and remaining free space.
8.1.1 Accessing Files with an QX351 OCS
a. Insert a Micro SD card into the QX351 OCS Micro SD slot. b. If not formatted, use the Removable Media Manager object to format the card. c. The QX351 OCS ladder application program can read and write to the Micro SD card. The file is
saved as a .csv file, which is compatible with several PC applications such as Excel.
8.1.2 Accessing Files with a PC
a. Insert or connect the Micro SD memory card to the PC according to the manufacturer’s
instructions.
b. The PC typically sees the Micro SD card as a removable storage device like a small solid-state
hard drive. Files can be read from and written to the Micro SD card in the same way they are read/written to a standard hard disk. The only file format that can be read or written by an OCS application is a .csv (comma separated value) file.
8.2 Removable Media (RM) Function Blocks in Cscape Note: For detailed information regarding RM function blocks and parameters, refer to the help
file in Cscape Software. Refer ‘USB Flash Media support for RM Functions’ for USB flash drive access details.
The following RM functional blocks are available in Cscape Software. These function blocks will reference
- Micro SD when filename is prefixed with ‘A:’ or nothing OR
- USB A Flash Drive when filename is prefixed with ‘B:’. The following RM functional blocks are available in Cscape Software. a. Read RM csv: This function allows reading of a comma-separated value file from the Micro SD
interface into the controller register space. b. Write RM csv: This function allows writing of a comma-separated value file to the Micro SD
interface from the controller register space. c. Rename RM csv: This function allows renaming a file on the RM card. The data in the file is not
changed. d. Delete RM csv: This function allows deleting a file on the RM card.
e. Copy RM csv: This function allows copying a file on the RM card. The data in the file is not

8.3 Configuring Removable Media Manager graphic object in Cscape
The Removable Media Manager is a graphic object that allows viewing filenames, size and dates of files, and directories on a RM card. The operator can optionally change directories, delete files, and format new RM cards.This object also supplies status information such as Color change on card OK, Card full, and
Card missing status. For additional information, refer Cscape Help File|Graphics|Removable Media.
8.4 Filenames used with the Removable Media (RM) Function Blocks
The RM function blocks support the flash with a DOS/Windows standard FAT-16 file system. All names must be limited to the “8.3” format where the filename contains eight characters a period then a three­character extension.
The entire filename including any path must be less than or equal to 147 characters. When creating filenames and directories it is sometimes desirable to include parts of the current date or time. There are six special symbols that can be entered into a filename that are replaced by the OCS with current time and date information.
Table 8.1 – Filename Special Symbols
Symbol Description Example
$Y $M $D $h $m $s
Substitutes the current month with a 2 digit code March = 03

CHAPTER 11: USER INTERFACE
11.1 Overview
This chapter presents the user interface (or operator view) of the QX351 and some of the model specific characteristics of the QX351 as compared to the rest of the OCS line. This chapter does NOT cover building screens or using the CSCAPE graphics editor. For instructions on creating screens and using the graphics editor, refer to the graphics editor help file.
The following aspects are discussed:
Displaying and entering data
Alpha-numeric data entry
Navigating around screens
Beeper acknowledgement
Touch (slip) sensitivity
Alarm log dialog
RM dialog
Run and OK status
Screen Saver
Dimmer
11.2 Displaying and entering Data
Figure 11.1: Example Screen
February 25, 2010 Page 59 of 109 #1039
Page 60
CH.11 MAN0892-03-EN
Multiple objects are provided for displaying data such as virtual panel lights, push buttons, numeric value displays, bar graphs, meters, graphs and animated bitmaps. On the QX351, these graphical objects (through ladder manipulation of attribute bits) can change color, flash or change visibility to attract operator attention.
On objects that accept user input, the input is provided by touching the object or alternately changing an OCS register (i.e. Function key registers). Objects that allow input generally have a raised 3D appearance. An exception is the binary type objects, such as buttons, which are shown in a depressed 3D appearance when in the ON state. Objects that normally accept touch input may be disabled through program control (through ladder manipulation of an attribute bit). If an object is disabled, the object’s representation changes to a 2D appearance.
On objects that represent non-discrete information, more action may be required beyond that of simply touching the object. For example, the slider object requires the operator to touch and slide the control in the direction desired. Alternately, alpha-numeric entry objects invoke a pop-up alpha-numeric keypad for additional user input. The alpha-numeric keypad is discussed below.
Note that if the numeric entry object displays >>>>>>>, the value is too big to display in the field or is above the maximum for an editable field. Likewise, if the numeric entry object displays <<<<<<< in a numeric field, the value is too small to display or is below the minimum for an editable field.
11.3 Alpha-numeric keypad
To allow entry of a specific number or text, several of the input objects invoke a pop-up alpha-numeric keypad when the object is touched. An example of the alpha-numeric keypad invoked from a numeric input object is shown in Figure 10.2. Once invoked, the operator may touch the appropriate keys to enter a specific value. When entering a value, the alpha-numeric keypad is in one of two modes [new-value or edit-value].
New-value mode Generally, when the alpha-numeric keypad is first invoked, it is placed in new-value mode. Initially, the
alpha-numeric keypad displays the current value with all the digits being highlighted. Once the first digit is entered, the current value is erased from the display and the new digit is placed in the first location. Thereafter, no digits are highlighted and new digits are added to the rightmost position while the other digits are shifted left.
Edit-value mode
Edit-value mode may be entered from the initial new-value mode by pressing either the left or right arrow key before any digit key is pressed. The result will be a single character highlighted. The user may then either touch a key to change the digit at the selected position or the up and down arrows may be used to add or subtract (respectively) from the selected digit. The user may then use the left or right arrow keys to select a new position.
February 25, 2010 Page 60 of 109 # 1039
Page 61
MAN0892-03-EN CH. 11
Figure 11.2: Alpha-numeric Keypad
Once the desired value is entered, pressing the Enter key moves that value into the object (and the corresponding OCS register) and the alpha-numeric keypad disappears. Alternately, pressing the ESC key any time before the Enter key cancels the operation, leaves the objects current value unchanged, and the alpha-numeric keypad disappears.
Note: Each numeric entry object has a configured minimum and maximum value. If the operator enters a value outside of the configured range, the new value is ignored when Enter is pressed and the current object value is NOT changed.
Since the alpha-numeric keypad services several different graphical objects, certain keys on the alpha­numeric keypad may be disabled (grayed) when the keypad is invoked for certain objects. The following describes the alpha-numeric keypad variation based on object.
Numeric Object
When editing a numeric value, the [+/-] or the [.] key are disabled (grayed) if the object is NOT configured for floating-point value or a signed value.
Password Object
When editing a password value, the arrow keys, [+/-], and the [.] keys are disabled. Additionally, overwrite mode is disabled. When entering digits, the pop-up keypad hides the value by displaying ‘*’ alternately for each digit.
ASCII Object
When editing an ASCII value, each press of the same key generates a different value. For example, the [1 _QZ] key generates the following sequence:
<space>, Q, Z, q, z, 1, <repeat sequence>
The digit keys (except zero) sequence the corresponding 3 alphabetical characters first in upper case followed by the same 3 characters in lower case followed by the corresponding numeric digit. Thereafter, continued presses of the same key repeat the sequence.
February 25, 2010 Page 61 of 109 #1039
Page 62
CH.11 MAN0892-03-EN
The [+/-] key generates the following mathematical character sequence: +, -, *, /, =, (,), <repeat sequence> The [.] key generates the following punctuation character sequence: .,?, :, ;, ,,’ ,”, $, <repeat sequence> Once the desired alpha-numeric character is obtained, use the left or right arrow to select a new position.
Alternately, pressing different key moves to the next position.
Text Table Object
When editing a Text Table Object, all the keys except the Up and Down arrow keys are grayed and disabled. The next text selection is made by pressing either the Up or Down arrow.
Time/Date Object
When editing a Time/Date Table Object, all the keys except the Up, Down, Left and Right arrow keys are grayed and disabled. The specific field (i.e. hour or minutes) is selected using the Left and Right arrows. The value in the selected field is changed by pressing either the Up or Down arrow.
11.4 Screen Navigation
To allow the operator to change screens, a screen jump object is generally used. This object may be visually represented as a 3-D button (responding to touch) or remain invisible and logically tied to an OCS register. An optional system ICON may be configured for display along with the legend, which aids in identifying the object as one that causes a screen change (shown below in figure 10.3)
Figure 11.3: Screen Jump Object (configured for a specific screen)
The QX351 had the ability to store up to 8 screen jumps and then transverse back through those screens when the desired operation is complete (useful for virtual menus). On OCS models that contain a front panel ESC key, each press of the ESC key transverses back one screen; however, since the QX351 does NOT have an ESC key on the front panel an alternate method is used. Screen jump objects on a QX351 may be configured to simulate an ESC key. Typically, screen jump objects simulating an ESC key are labeled Back or Previous to indicate to the operator that it is possible to transverse back to a previous screen.

Page 63
MAN0892-03-EN CH. 11
Figure 11.4: Screen Jump Object (configured to return to previous screen)
Note that changing the current displayed screen through use of a display coil in ladder logic clears the screen jump queue.
11.5 Ladder Based Screen Navigation
Ladder logic can use several techniques to control screen navigation. Coils can be tied to %D registers to make them screen coils. These coils have two modes, switch and alarm. If the ladder program energizes an alarm display coil, the screen associated with this coil is displayed and overrides the normal user screens. This is designed to show alarm conditions or to display other ladder-detected events. When the text coil is de-energized, the previous screen that was being viewed before the alarm is returned.
The switch display coil switches to the associated screen when it is energized. Once it is de-energized the screen remains until it is switched by the user or ladder.
Figure 11.5: Force and Switch Coils in Ladder Programming
There is also a system register that can be used to for control based screen navigation. %SR1 can be read to determine the current screen or written to change the current screen.
Refer to the on-line help in Cscape for more information on control-based screen navigation.
11.6 Beeper Acknowledgement
The QX contains an internal beeper that provides an audible acknowledgment when an operator touches a graphic object that accepts touch input. When the graphic object is enabled, a short 5ms tone is
February 25, 2010 Page 63 of 109 #1039
Page 64
CH.11 MAN0892-03-EN
emitted. When the graphic object is disabled, a longer 100ms tone is emitted to enounce that graphical object is not currently accepting the touch input.
If beep acknowledgement is not desired, the beeper function can be disabled from the system menu.
11.7 Touch (Slip) Sensitivity
Touch slip sensitivity is preset to meet most applications; however, adjustment is available to reduce the sensitivity for touch release. That is, once a graphical object (button) is touched and held by a finger, the default touch slip sensitivity allows for a slight slip of the finger on the graphical object before the QX351 assumes touch been released (equates to approximately a quarter inch of movement with a stylus).
In some applications (such as jog buttons) where the operator is pushing a button for a period of time, the amount of slip while holding a button pressed may exceed the default sensitivity. To increase the amount of tolerable slip and prevent false releases of the button, the QX351 allows adjustment of the allowable slide up to 5x the default value.
To enable the touch (slip) sensitivity, first an OCS data register must be allocated through the Graphics editor Configuration menu for Display Settings. Once a Touch Sensitivity register is assigned, that register may be modified [range = 1(Low) to 5 (High)] to the desired slide amount. If a value outside the valid range is entered in the touch sensitivity register, it is ignored and the last valid value is used.
11.8 Alarms
Alarm presentation to the operator is highly configurable and beyond the scope of this document to describe fully. For more information refer to the graphics editor help file. This section presents a typical configuration thereby providing an introductory description on what the operator should expect.
The alarm object is generally used to enunciate alarms to the operator. While the display characteristics of this object is configurable, it is generally displayed as a button that changes colors to indicate the highest state of the alarm(s) in the alarm group it is monitoring. The following indicates the priority of the alarm states and the default colors associated with these states.
Highest (Red) - Unacknowledged Alarms Exist
- (Yellow) - Acknowledged Alarms Exist
Lowest (Green) - No Alarms Exist
Figure 11.6: Alarm Object
To view, acknowledge and/or clear alarms, the operator must access the alarm viewer. This is accomplished by touching an (enabled) alarm object. When accessed, the alarm viewer is displayed as pop-up alarm viewer dialog similar to that shown in Figure 11.7.

Figure 11.7: Alarm Viewer
The currently selected entry is indicated by a yellow highlight which can be moved up or down by touching the arrow buttons or by directly touching an entry. If more entries exist than can fit on the page, a scroll bar is displayed on the right side that also indicates the current relative position.
The current state of the displayed alarm is indicated by its color and optionally by an abbreviated indicator after the date/time stamp (ALM, ACK, RTN). The operator can acknowledge an alarm by selecting it from the list and touching the ACK button. The operator can also clear an alarm if that function is enabled in the alarm object. If not enabled, the Clear buttons are grayed and do not respond to touch. Once view operations are complete, simply touch the Esc button to remove the pop-up alarm viewer.
Note that OCS registers %SR181 and %SR182 are available for ladder use, which indicate presence of unacknowledged or acknowledged alarm (respectively). The screen designer may implement these registers to switch screens or activate the beeper to attract the operator’s attention.
11.9 Removable Media
The removable media object is generally used to inform the operator on the current state of the removable media device and allow access to its file structure. The removable media object is displayed as a button that changes colors to indicate the current state of the removable media device. The following indicates the device states and the default colors associated with these states.
Highest (Red) - Device Error
- (Yellow) - Device Full (threshold adjustable)
Lowest (Green) - Device OK

February 25, 2010 Page 65 of 109 #1039
Page 66
CH.11 MAN0892-03-EN
To view and perform file operations, the operator must access the removable viewer. This is accomplished by either touching an (enabled) removable media object or through the system menu. When accessed, the removable media viewer is displayed as pop-up removable media dialog similar to that shown in Figure 10.8.
Note that the removable media object can be configured to open the removable media viewer at a certain directory complete with restrictions on transversing back up the file path. This may be used to restrict operator access to non-critical files.
Figure 11.9: Removable media viewer
The currently selected entry is indicated by a yellow highlight which can be moved up or down by touching the arrow buttons or by directly touching an entry. If more entries exist than can fit on the page, a scroll bar is displayed on the right side that also indicates the current relative position.
File operations are accomplished by pressing the appropriate button at the bottom of the removable media viewer. The configuration of the removable media object that invokes the removable media viewer defines what buttons are enabled and available to the user. A button is grayed and does not respond to touch if configured as disabled.
The (Enter) button (if enabled) performs certain operations based on the selected file’s type: .. - change display to parent directory
<DIR> - change display to child directory
bmp, jpeg - display bitmap (if compatible format)
pgm - load application (if compatible model and version) Alternately, the (enter) button can be configured to simply load the ASCII representation of the file path
(including the file name) to a group of OCS registers. That pathname can then be used by ladder for opening and manipulating that file.
Once view operations are complete, simply touch the Esc button to remove the pop-up removable media viewer.
If the removable media is used in an application, the removable media device requires changing by the operator, and the application is attempting to write to the removable media when it is removed, the screen designer should create objects that allow the operator to temporally halt access to the removable media. This prevents corruption to the file system if the removable media is removed during a file write sequence. The graphic objects should set OCS register %SR174.1 (when requesting the card be removed) and
February 25, 2010 Page 66 of 109 # 1039
Page 67
MAN0892-03-EN CH. 11
provide an indicator based on OCS register %SR174.2 (which indicates that it is safe to remove the removable media).
Figure 11.10: Example application segment for safe removal of removable media
11.10 OK and Run Status
Since the QX351 does not provide external LEDs for the Ok and Run status of the configuration and ladder logic engine (respectively), an optional pop-up may be enabled to warn the user that one of these two status indications has changed. When enabled in the system menu, a status change is indicated as shown in figure 10.11.
Figure 11.11: OK and RUN Status
To remove the popup, simply touch the OK button. If either the Ok or Run indicator is reset, the operator may consult the system menu diagnostic screen to determine the problem.

11.11 Screen Saver
The QX351 screen backlight life is typically 5 years when in continuous use. If the application does not require interaction with the QX351 for long periods of time, the backlight life can be extended by using the screen saver function. When enabled through the system menu, the backlight is shut off (screen goes black) after a specified time of no touch activity on the screen. When the screen saver shuts off the backlight, any operator touch on the screen or function keys reactivates the backlight.
Note that when the screen saver is active (backlight shut off), any initial touch activity on the screen (or function key) to reactivate the backlight is otherwise ignored by the QX351. Any additional touch activity is also ignored by the QX351 for approximately one second thereafter.
It is possible for the application to temporarily disable the screen saver by generating a positive transition to %SR57.16 (coil only) at a rate faster than the screen saver timeout value. This may be desired while waiting for alarm acknowledgement.
11.12 Screen Brightness
The QX351 provides a feature that allows screen dimming for night operation. To enable this feature, the application must access and control system register %SR57 (Display Backlight Brightness). Screen brightness is continuously variable by driving %SR57 through the range of 100 (full bright) to 0 (full off). It is left to the screen designer on if and how to present a Screen Brightness control to the user.
Note that backlight life may be shorted when screen is dimmed or screen brightness is varied on a repetitive basis.

12.1 QX351 Resources
12.1.1 Overview
This section defines the resource limits that a programmer needs to know when writing a program using the QX351. The QX351 combines operator interface (display and keypad), local and remote I/O (analog and digital), networking, and controller, into a single product. In addition, the QX351 has graphical capabilities. The controller portion of the QX351 products is programmed in ladder logic via the Windows­based Cscape (Control Station Central Application Programming Environment) package.

CHAPTER 13: CSCAPE CONFIGURATION
13.1 Overview
QX351 hardware is programmed with a Windows-based PC application called Cscape (HE500OSW232).
Please see the on-line help provided with Cscape for additional details.
13.2 Cscape Status Bar
When the QX351 is connected to a PC using Cscape software a Status Bar appears at the bottom of the screen. The Cscape Status Bar can be used to determine if communications have been established between the QX351 and the Cscape program. Components of the Cscape Status Bar are explained as below.
The contents of these messages are context sensitive. The Message line can be empty.
stored in the Target Controller.
If Equal, the program in Cscape is the same as the program stored in the Target Controller.
If Not Equal, the program in Cscape is not the same as the program stored in the Targe
Controller.

- indicates that the file in
Controller Model indicates the controller model for which the program in Cscape is configured.
(Model Confirmation) provides the following indications:
(Model=) - The actual Target Controller matches the configured Controller Model and Network.
(Model Not=) – The actual Target Controller does not match the configured Controller Model and Network.
(Model?) – there may have been a change since the last time the Target Controller was compared to the configured Controller Model and Network.
- indicates the current status of the
“pass through” Connector.
Local: xx – Cscape program is physically connected through its serial port. It can serve as a pass through device to other nodes on the network.
Target: yy(R) – indicates the Network ID of the device with which the Cscape program is exchanging data.
Note: The Local unit and Target unit can be the
same unit or they can be separate units. The following are status indicators: (R) – Running
(D) - Do I/O (I) – Idle (?) – Cscape is not communicating with the remote unit. [no forces] – indicates no I/O has been forced.

CH. 13 MAN0892-03-EN
13.3 Establishing Communications
The preferred method of communicating between Cscape and a QX351 is via USB port. The QX351 OCS can communicate with Cscape using USB to USB, USB to serial adapters, serial port communications via MJ1/MJ2 Port, onboard Ethernet Port, CAN (CsCAN) or modems. For communications other than USB or the MJ1/MJ2 port please refer to the manual which ships with the communications adapter hardware being used for programming.
13.3.1 To connect QX351 with USB port: (Preferred method) Connect a PC’s (Personal Computer running a Windows Microsoft operating system) USB port via USB
cable to the USB mini B port on the QX351 OCS. The PC will detect a new device has been plugged into the USB port.

Next, configure Cscape to use the correct communications port. This can be done using the Tools | Editor Options | Communication Port dialog in Cscape. In order to find the Comm Port number that
the QX351 is using, go to the PC’s Control Panel and System, System Properties, Hardware.

Next, go to the PC’s Device Manager and Ports.
Note that, in this example, the QX351 is on COM3. This COM number may vary from PC to PC.
February 25, 2010 Page 81 of 109 #1039
Page 82
CH. 13 MAN0892-03-EN
Now that you know which COM port the QX351 is plugged to, go to Cscape, Tools, Editor Options, Communications Port and choose the correct COM port (in this example Com 3).
If communications are successful, the target indicator should show the mode of the controller Target:
yy(R) as shown in the status section above in this chapter, section Cscape Status Bar. (12.2)
February 25, 2010 Page 82 of 109 # 1039
Page 83
MAN0892-03-EN CH. 13
If the controller is not communicating you may need to set the target ID of the controller in Cscape or on the unit. The Target ID allows directing communications to a particular unit when multiple units are connected via a CsCAN network. Units without CsCAN network ports respond to any network ID and do not require the ID to be configured.
To check or change the ID on the QX351 OCS, press the system menu key. The first item in the menu is Set Network ID. Pressing Enter allows you to view or modify the ID of the
unit.
To change the Target ID of Cscape, use the Controller | Set Target Network ID dialog.
13.3.2 Communication via MJ1/MJ2 Serial Port:
Start by configuring Cscape to use the correct communications port. This can be done using the Tools | Editor Options | Communication Port dialog in Cscape.
Next connect the PC serial port to the port labeled MJ1/MJ2 on the QX. The easiest way to interface between the serial port and the units MJ1 port would be to use an HE500CBL300A. The HE500CBL300A is sold separately.
If communications are successful, the target indicator should show the mode of the controller Target:

CHAPTER 14: FAIL–SAFE SYSTEM
14.1 Overview
The Fail-Safe System is a set of features that allow an application to continue running in the event of certain types of "soft" failures. These "soft" failures include:
Battery power loss
Battery-Backed Register RAM or Application Flash corruption due to, for example, an excessive
EMI event.
The Fail-Safe System has the following capabilities:
Manually backup the current Battery-Backed RAM Register Settings into Flash memory.
Manually restore Register Settings from the values previously backed up in Flash to Battery-
Backed RAM.
Detect corrupted Register Settings at power-up and then automatically restore them from Flash.
Detect corrupted or empty application in Flash memory at power-up and then automatically load
the AUTOLOAD.PGM application file from Removable Media (Compact Flash or MicroSD).
If an automatic Register Restore or Application Load occurs, the OCS can automatically be placed in RUN mode
The fail-safe system can be accessed by going to the system menu of the controller. A new menu “Fail­Safe System” has been added at the end of the main system menu for this. Selecting “Fail-Safe System” menu will open the following menu screen:
Figure 14.1: Fail Safe System Menu
14.2 Settings
To use the fail – safe feature, the user needs to do the following:
1. Backup the current Battery-Backed RAM Register contents in On-Board Flash memory using System Menu options.
2. From Cscape, create AUTOLOAD.PGM for the application program using ‘Export to Removable Media’.
3. Place the Removable Media with AUTOLOAD.PGM in the device.
4. Set the ‘Enable AutoLoad’ option in the device to YES.
February 25, 2010 Page 87 of 109 #1039
Page 88
CH. 14 MAN0892-03-EN
5. Set the ‘Enable AutoRun’ option to YES if the controller needs to be placed in RUN mode automatically after automatic restore of data or AutoLoad operation.
14.3 Backup / Restore Data
Selecting this option brings up a screen having four operations:
Backup OCS Data.
Restore OCS Data.
Clear Backup Data.
Exit
Figure 14.2: Backup / Restore Data
Backup OCS Data:
Figure 14.3: Backup Registers
When initiated, this will allow the user to manually copy Battery-Backed RAM contents on to the onboard FLASH memory of the OCS. This will have the effect of backing up all the registers and controller settings (Network ID, etc.) that would otherwise be lost due to a battery failure. %SR164.4 is set to 1 when backup operation is performed.
February 25, 2010 Page 88 of 109 # 1039
Page 89
MAN0892-03-EN CH. 14
Restore OCS Data:
When initiated, this will allow the user to manually copy the backed up data from the onboard FLASH to the Battery-Backed RAM. A restore operation will be automatically initiated if a backup has been previously created and on power­up the Battery-Backed RAM registers fail their check.
The following process will be followed for restoring data:
The controller will be placed in IDLE mode.
Data will be copied from onboard FLASH to OCS Battery-Backed RAM
The controller will reset.
The controller will be put in RUN mode if the AutoRun setting is ‘Yes’ else it will remain in IDLE
mode.
%SR164.3 is set to 1 only when an automatic restore operation is performed - not on a manual one. This bit is reset to 0 when a new backup is created.
Restoring of data can be manually performed by selecting RESTORE option from the Backup / Restore Data menu. This will cause the controller to reset.
Figure 14.4: Restore OCS Data
Clear Backup Data:
When initiated, the backup data will be erased from the onboard Flash and no backup will exist. %SR164.4 and %SR164.3 is reset to 0 when backed up data is erased.

14.4 AutoLoad
Figure 14.7: AutoLoad Menu
This system menu option allows the user to specify whether the OCS automatically loads the application AUTOLOAD.PGM located in Removable Media.
When the AutoLoad setting is enabled (set to YES), it can either be manually initiated or automatically initiated at power-up.
The automatic initiation will happen only in the following two cases:
When there is no application program in the OCS and a valid AUTOLOAD.PGM is available in the removable media of the device.
When the program residing in onboard memory is corrupted and a valid AUTOLOAD.PGM is available in the removable media of the device.
AutoLoad can be manually initiated when the SYS-F3 key is pressed (OCS can be in any of the following mode – Idle / Run / DOIO). This also requires a valid AUTOLOAD.PGM to be present in the removable media of the device.
When the AutoLoad setting is not enabled (set to NO), OCS will be in IDLE mode and the application is not loaded.
If the AUTOLOAD.PGM is security enabled, the user will be prompted to enter the password before loading the application. The application will be loaded from the Removable media only after getting the correct password.
%SR164.6 can be set to enable AutoLoad feature.

14.5 AutoRun
Figure 14.9: AutoRun Menu
This system menu option, when enabled (YES), allows the user to automatically place the OCS into RUN mode after the AutoLoad operation or automatic Restore Data operation.
When the AutoRun setting is disabled (NO), the OCS remains in the IDLE mode after a Restore Data or AutoLoad operation.
%SR164.5 can be set by putting the system into RUN mode automatically, once an AutoLoad has been performed or an Automatic Restore has occurred.
If for any reason the AutoLoad-Run (Loading the AUTOLOAD.PGM automatically and OCS put in RUN mode) sequence does not succeed, a pop-up message box saying "AUTO-LOAD-RUN SEQUENCE FAILED" will be displayed. It will also show the reason for its failure. On acknowledging this message box the AutoLoad-Run sequence will be terminated, controller will return to the first user-screen and will be placed in IDLE mode.

CHAPTER 15: CLONE UNIT
15.1 Overview
‘Clone Unit’ feature allows the user to “clone” the OCS of the exact same model. This feature “clones” application program and unit settings stored in Battery backed RAM of an OCS into the RM (refer Removable Media Chapter 8 for details on using RM). It can then be used to clone a different OCS (exact same model).
This feature can be used for:
Replacing an OCS by another unit of the same model.
Duplicating or “clone” units without a PC.
15.2 Clone
User needs to perform the following to Clone:
1. The ‘Clone Unit’ can be accessed by going to the ‘System Menu’ of the OCS. A new menu “Clone Unit” has been added at the end of the main system menu as shown below:
Figure 15.1: System Menu
2. Selecting “Clone Unit” menu will open the following menu screen:
Figure 15.2: Clone Unit Menu before Cloning
Note: Free/Total – displays number of free and total bytes in Removable Media.
February 25, 2010 Page 95 of 109 #1039
Page 96
CH.15 MAN0892-03-EN
3. Make / Create Clone option enables user to duplicate / Clone application file, all unit settings and all register values from Battery Backed RAM.
Selecting Make Clone brings up the screen below for the user:
Figure 15.3: Clone Unit Confirm Screen
After confirmation, the OCS will create two new files in the root directory of the Removable Media Drive as shown below:
AUTOLOAD.PGM Application file CLONE.DAT File having all unit settings and register values from Battery Backed RAM
Figure 15.4: Clone Unit Files
NOTE: Make/Create clone operation automatically includes the security in \AUTOLOAD.PGM file for
security enabled files.
February 25, 2010 Page 96 of 109 # 1039
Page 97
MAN0892-03-EN CH.15
4. Once the cloning is successful, OCS gives a message as below:
Figure 15.5: Cloning Status
Make/Create clone can also be triggered by setting %SR164.9 bit to “1” from Ladder program or graphics. Once the operation is completed, this bit is made zero by the firmware. When Make clone operation is triggered by this SR bit, it does not ask the user for confirmation for making clone. The success / failure of the operation is also not notified on screen to the user.
In case of failure of “Make Clone” operation, %SR164.11 bit is set to “1” by the firmware and never reset. NOTE: Backup of registers in flash memory is not performed by Clone Feature. If user desires, Backup
should be done as explained in Chapter 14 (Fail Safe System).
15.3 Load Clone
This option loads the application, all unit settings and register values from Removable media to the Battery backed RAM (Regardless of AutoLoad settings) and then resets the OCS for the settings to take effect.
User needs to perform the following to Load Clone:
1. Select “Clone Unit” from main system menu of OCS as shown below:
Figure 15.6: System Menu
February 25, 2010 Page 97 of 109 #1039
Page 98
CH.15 MAN0892-03-EN
2. Selecting “Clone Unit” menu will open the following menu screen. Select “Load Clone”.
Figure 15.7: Clone Unit Menu after Cloning
3. User needs to confirm Load Clone as shown below:
Figure 15.8: Load Clone Confirm Screen
4. After confirmation, all unit settings and register values will be loaded from Removable media to the Battery backed RAM (Regardless of AutoLoad settings) and then OCS resets for the settings to take effect.
NOTE: For security enabled files, Load clone asks for password validation before loading the application. Load clone can also be triggered by setting %SR164.10 bit to “1” from Ladder program or graphics. Once
the operation is completed, this bit is made zero by the firmware. When Load clone operation is triggered by this SR bit, it does not ask the user for confirmation for loading clone. The success / failure of the operation is also not notified on screen to the user.
In case of failure of “Load Clone” operation, %SR164.12 bit is set to “1” by the firmware and never reset.
