specifications for the SmartStack Modules can be found in the applicable SmartStack Data Sheets.

0.7 ms. per 1K of boolean logic.

Standard 9 pin RS-232 for programming, monitoring, and network
administration. Modbus/RTU Master, Slave, ASCII Send and Receive,
and CsCAN Serial also supported.

Local (All Modules): Maximum of four (4) SmartStack Modules per OCS
Remote (OCS110 / 210/ 250 / or RCS250 Modules):

In addition to 4 local I/O modules, up to 20 remote SmartStack I/O
Modules can be connected to an OCS or RCS using five Fiber Optic
Bases, which each contain four I/O slots.

Please refer to Compliance Table located at

Although the RCS does not have a local operator interface, it supports a
remote operator interface through a PC connected to the RCS unit’s built­in network. 32-Key (Remote Only)
Although the RCS does not have local display, it supports a remote
operator interface through a PC connected to the RCS unit’s built-in

Figure 8 – RS-232 Port

The RCS units feature an RS-232 port (Programming/Debug) for connection to a personal computer.
This port is used for the purposes of RCS programming, configuring, monitoring, and debugging. This
port can also be used for general ladder logic controlled serial communications to printers, modems,
terminals, etc. When ladder has control of this port, it is not available for programming or debugging. The
wiring diagram for the RS-232 port is shown in Figure 8. If a permanent connection is to be made
between the RCS and the personal computer, the use of a shielded, multiple conductor wire with a
maximum length of 15.24 meters (50 feet) enables proper performance.

• OFF indicates OCS is in IDLE/STOP mode.

• Flashing at 1 Hz indicates DO / IO mode or RUN with no ladder program.

• ON indicates ladder code running.

• OFF indicates one or more self-tests failed.

• Flashing at 1 Hz indicates I/O forcing is active.

• ON indicates all self-tests passed.

• OFF indicates no RS-232 communication.

• Red flickering indicates receive activity on the RS-232 port.

• Green flickering indicates transmit activity on the RS-232 port.

• Orange flickering indicates both transmit and receive activity on the RS-

232 port.

• Red solid ON indicates a non-critical self-test error was detected

• Red flashing at 1Hz indicates a critical self-test error was detected.

• OFF indicates no CAN communication.

• Red flickering indicates receive activity on the CAN port.
