XP8300/XP8400/SE110090 s Advanced Programming
Controllers with Simulated PLCBus
Instructions for BL1000 and BL1100
1. Power up the BL1000 or BL1100 and make sure it is working properly.
If you encounter problems, consult the controllers technical reference
manual.
2. Disconnect power from the controller.
3. Using the appropriate cable, connect the XP8300 or XP8400 to the
PIO port on the controller. See Appendix D, Simulated PLCBus
Connection, for detailed information regarding this cable. With more
than one relay board, chain the additional boards to the first one with
PLCBus ribbon cables. Make sure all relay boards are positioned with
headers facing the same direction.
4. Check header J1 on the relay board(s) for correct jumper setting(s).
With only one board, leave J1 unjumpered. With more than one board,
leave J1 unjumpered on the first board and set J1 with a different and
unique address on each additional board.
5. Make sure that header J2 has no pins connected. Connect a wall
transformer or equivalent 24V direct current power supply to the V+
and GND terminals on header H3 (when using XP8300) or on header
H1 (when using XP8400).
6. Power up the controller and bring up Dynamic C on the host PC. If a
problem reestablishing communication occurs, consult Dynamic C
Technical Reference manual.
7. Open and run the program. See the Dynamic C Technical Reference
manual for details on opening and running programs.
8. The LEDs on the relay board(s) will begin flashing to indicate that the
relays are actuating.
