XP8500 and Exp-A/D1298 s Simulated PLCBus Connection
BL1400 and BL1500
XP8500 expansion boards may be connected to header H3 on the BL1400
and BL1500. The signals, listed in Table D-1, are laid out differently from
those on the other controllers, and so the special cable used for the
BL1000, the BL1100, or the BL1300 controllers will not work. The user
may either make a custom cable or use an adapter board available from
Z-World. Software from the Dynamic C EZIOMGPL.LIB library may be
used.
For more information on the adapter board, call your
Z-World Sales Representative at [phone].
(
Use an external power supply with expansion boards
connected to the BL1400 or BL1500 because there is no
provision to supply power from the controller to header P1
or P2 on the expansion boards. The adapter board has a
jack and a screw terminal for the external +12 V/+24 V.
