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

POWER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS

NEW AND EXISTING INSTALLATIONS

The XCCN option card draws all of its power from the main board of the
Modular Controller Master or Data Station Plus. The specifications of the
Modular Controller Master or Data Station Plus account for the power needs of
an option card.

V+ (OPTIONAL 24 VDC)

Position 5 of the pluggable connector is provided for optional 24 VDC
connections. This position is available only to tie 24 VDC wires together. The
XCCN card neither provides 24 VDC power nor uses 24 VDC power through
this connection. The V+ position is not connected to any circuitry internal to the
XCCN option card or Modular Controller Master and Data Station Plus.

COMMUNICATING WITH THE XCCN OPTION
CARD

CONFIGURING A XCCN OPTION CARD

The XCCN is configured using Crimson software. Crimson is available as a
free download from www.redlion.net, or it can be ordered on CD. Updates to
Crimson for new features and drivers are posted on the website as they become
available. By configuring the XCCN using the latest version of Crimson, you
are assured that your unit has the most up-to-date feature set. Crimson software
can configure the XCCN through the RS232 PGM port, USB port, Ethernet
port, or CompactFlash socket on your Modular Controller Master or Data
Station Plus. Additional information can be found in your Modular Controller
Master or Data Station Plus hardware bulletin and the Crimson user manual.

CANopen PORT PROTOCOLS

The XCCN option card has one CANopen port. This port may be configured
for various CANopen protocols. Check www.redlion.net for currently supported
protocols.

XCCN PORT PIN OUTS

Must use only NEC Class 2 or Limited Power Source (LPS) rated power

TERMINATION RESISTOR

An onboard termination resistor is selectable via a jumper setting. The
termination resistor is rated for 124Ω at 1W. If a different termination resistance
is desired, choose the jumper setting for no termination resistor and connect
your own termination resistor between positions 2 and 4 of the five position
connector.

GND

Position 1 of the pluggable connector provides a CAN ground connection.
This terminal is isolated from the Modular Controller Master and Data Station
Plus.

CAN-

Position 2 of the pluggable connector provides the CAN- bus line (active
low). This terminal is isolated from the Modular Controller Master and Data
Station Plus.

SHLD (OPTIONAL CAN SHIELD)

Position 3 of the pluggable connector is provided for optional shield
connections. This position is available only to tie shield wires together or to
earth ground. There is no internal connection to earth ground. The SHLD
position is not connected to any circuitry internal to the XCCN option card or
Modular Controller Master and Data Station Plus.

CAN+

Position 4 of the pluggable connector provides the CAN+ bus line (active
high). This terminal is isolated from the Modular Controller Master and Data
Station Plus.
