MODEL XCCN - CANopen OPTION CARD FOR DATA STATION PLUS AND
MODULAR CONTROLLER



CONFIGURED USING CRIMSON SOFTWARE

(VERSION 2.0 OR LATER)



DIGITALLY ISOLATED CANopen PORT CAPABLE OF

COMMUNICATING WITH ANY CANopen DEVICE



EASY INSTALLATION

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Both the Modular Controller Master (enhanced models) and Data Station Plus
contain a proprietary expansion port which provides a high speed, parallel
architecture that extends the functionality and flexibility of the platform. This
approach allows these products to evolve concurrently with the latest advances
in communications and standards, without sacrificing performance. This high
bandwidth channel has significantly greater throughput when compared to the
traditional (external) serial gateway approach.

The XCCN option card adds a CANopen communication port to the series.
This isolated card protects user equipment from potentially harmful ground
loops while providing the ability to communicate to any high speed CANopen
device. The XCCN option card has a termination resistor built-in, which is
selectable via a jumper setting. Additionally, the XCCN connector is pluggable
for easy removal of the Modular Controller Master or Data Station Plus from the
CANopen bus without disturbing communications with other devices on the bus.

The XCCN communication card is easily installed by removing the blank
expansion port cover of your Modular Controller or Data Station Plus, and
plugging the XCCN card into the expansion port. Configuration is simple using
Red Lion's free Crimson 2.0 software.

SAFETY SUMMARY

All safety related regulations, local codes and instructions that appear in the
literature or on equipment must be observed to ensure personal safety and to
prevent damage to either the instrument or equipment connected to it. If
equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection
provided by the equipment may be impaired.

Do not use the controller to directly command motors, valves, or other
actuators not equipped with safeguards. To do so can be potentially harmful to
persons or equipment in the event of a fault to the controller.

CAUTION: Risk of Danger.

Read complete instructions prior to

installation and operation of the unit.

INSTALLING THE XCCN OPTION CARD

1. Remove power from the unit

2. Insert a flat-bladed screwdriver into the slot at the top of the expansion port
cover. Gently apply pressure on the screwdriver in an upward direction until
the expansion port cover disengages from the unit as shown in Figure 1.

3. Verify that the option card knobs are in the “unlocked” position as shown in
Figure 2.

4. Carefully insert the option card into the expansion port opening while
aligning the card-edge connector on the option card with the main board's
header, as shown in Figure 3. Once aligned, gently press on the front of the
card until it is flush with the front of the case.

5. Turn the option card knobs to the locked position as shown in Figure 4.

Caution: The expansion and main circuit boards contain static
sensitive components. Before handling the cards, discharge static
charges from your body by touching a grounded bare metal object.
Ideally, handle the cards at a static controlled clean workstation.
Also, handle the cards by the edges only. Dirt, oil, or other
contaminants that may contact the cards can adversely affect circuit
operation.

Warning: Risk of Danger: Be sure to remove all power before

removing the expansion port cover
