4. BASIC SOCKETS AND INDICATORS
• XP7 socket (Fig. 2) is intended for connection PLCM-E2 to
Ethernet local network. The connection is recommended to make
by a cable which has category 5 or above. Patch cords application
with direct and cross type of pressing is accepted. Possibly direct
connection to PC without switchboard use.
• The XP8 socket is intended for connection of PLCM-E3 to PC
USB port. The connection is recommended to make by a short shielded
cable with ferrite rings.
• Controller has 3 ports (XP1, XP2, XP3), which are similar to PC
LPT-port according to destination and pins numbering (Fig. 1). Adapter
scheme (according to Fig. 1) allows to receive full LPT port analog from
any PLCM-E3 port. One such adapter is included in the delivery set.
It is necessary to specify DB25 socket numbering of adapter in
the Ports & Pins MACH3 dialog box.
Similarly to LPT port, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 14, 16, 17 pins are
outputs, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15 are inputs.
• Near each port there is a jumper (JP1, JP2, JP3 for P1, P2, P3
ports accordingly), making closed which it is possible to apply supply
voltage (+5V) on pin No. 26 of the corresponding socket controller .
This opportunity can be used for an external equipment power supply
connected to a controller port.
• XP6 (g.2) allows to connect duplicate LEDs for controller
state indication, for example, in the case of placement it in something
housing. Reset output can be used for controller hardware reset. For
this it is necessary to close 1 and 2 outputs of these socket.
• JP5 jumper connects a round pin platform (which is used for
screw) to power supply negative wire and can be used for negative wire
connection with housing in the case of ground certain type designing.
• JP4 jumper is for current value reset of controller IP-address to
default value (192.168.10.10). For this it is necessary to close a jumper
at SWITCHED OFF controller and to turn on power supply. Then pins
are disconnected after 1-2 seconds.
