Mounting
Dimensions

*Note that for V350-J modules those dimensions are 6.7 mm (0.26”).
Panel Mounting
Before you begin, note that the mounting panel cannot be more than 5 mm thick.
1. Make a panel cut-out measuring 92x92 mm (3.622”x3.622”).
1. Slide the controller into the
cut-out, ensuring that the
rubber seal is in place.
2. Push the mounting brackets
into their slots on the sides of
the panel as shown in the
figure to the right.
3. Tighten the bracket’s screws
against the panel. Hold the
bracket securely against the
unit while tightening the
screw.

4. When properly mounted, the

controller is squarely situated
in the panel cut-out as shown
in the figure to the right.

DIN-rail Mounting
1. Snap the controller onto the DIN
rail as shown in the figure to the
right.

2. When properly mounted, the

controller is squarely situated on
the DIN-rail as shown in the figure
to the right.

I/Os
This model comprises a total of 12 inputs 6 relay and 2 npn outputs. Input functionality can be
adapted as follows:
1. 12 inputs may be used as digital inputs. They may be wired in a group via a single jumper
as either npn or pnp.
According to jumper settings and appropriate wiring:
- Inputs 10 and 11 can function as either digital or analog inputs.
- Inputs 0, 2, and 4 can function as high-speed counters, as part of a shaft-encoder,
or as normal digital inputs.
- Inputs 1, 3, and 5 can function as either counter reset, as part of a shaft-encoder,
or as normal digital inputs.
- If inputs 0, 2, 4 are set as high-speed counters (without reset), inputs 1, 3, 5 can function as
normal digital inputs.

Input Jumper Settings

The tables below show how to set a specific jumper to change input functionality. To access the I/O
jumpers, you must open the controller according to the instructions beginning on page 8.

 Incompatible jumper settings and wiring connections may seriously damage the controller.

Increasing Contact Life Span

To increase the life span of the relay output contacts
and protect the device from potential damage by
reverse EMF, connect:
 A clamping diode in parallel with each inductive
DC load
 An RC snubber circuit in parallel with each
inductive AC load
npn Outputs

Power Supply
The controller requires an external 24VDC power supply.
 The power supply must include double insulation. Outputs must be rated as
SELV/PELV/Class 2/Limited Power.
 Use separate wires to connect the functional
earth line (pin 3) and the 0V line (pin 2) to the
system earth ground.
 Install an external circuit breaker. Guard against
short-circuiting in external wiring.
 Double-check all wiring before turning on the
power supply.
 Do not connect either the ‘Neutral’ or ‘Line’ signal
of the 110/220VAC to device’s 0V pin.
 In the event of voltage fluctuations or non-
conformity to voltage power supply specifications,
connect the device to a regulated power supply.

Earthing the OPLC

To maximize system performance, avoid electromagnetic interference by:
 Mounting the controller on a metal panel.
 Connect each common and ground connection directly to the earth ground of your system.
For ground wiring use the shortest and thickest possible wire.

Communication Port
 Turn off power before making communications connections.
 Signals are related to the controller’s 0V; the same 0V is used by the power supply.
Caution  Always use the appropriate port adapters.
 The serial port is not isolated. If the controller is used with a non-isolated external device,
avoid potential voltage that exceeds ± 10V.
Port 1 is type RJ-11 and may be set to either RS232 or RS485 via jumper as shown below.
Pinouts
The pinouts below show the PLC port signals.
RS232 RS485** Controller Port
Pin # Description Pin # Description
1* DTR signal 1 A signal (+)
2 0V reference 2 (RS232 signal)
3 TXD signal 3 (RS232 signal)
4 RXD signal 4 (RS232 signal) Pin #1
5 0V reference 5 (RS232 signal)
6* DSR signal 6 B signal (-)
*Standard programming cables do not provide connection points for pins 1 and 6.
**When a port is adapted to RS485, Pin 1 (DTR) is used for signal A,
and Pin 6 (DSR) signal is used for signal B.
RS232 to RS485 Jumper Settings
The figure to the right shows the jumper factory
default settings.
Note that in order:
 To change the communication
setting to RS485, set both COMM
jumpers to ‘485’.
 To change the RS485 termination,
set both TERM jumpers to ‘OFF’.

To access the jumpers, you must

open the controller according to the
instructions below.

Note: it is possible to establish a PC to PLC connection using RS232 even when the PLC is set to
RS485 (this will eliminate the need to open the controller for jumper setting). To do so, removes the
RS485 connector (pins 1 & 6) from the PLC and connect a standard RS232 programming cable
instead. Note that this is possible only if DTR and DSR signals of RS232 are not used (which is the
standard case).

Opening the Controller

 Before performing these actions, touch a grounded object to discharge any electrostatic
charge.
 Avoid touching the PCB board directly. Hold the PCB board by its connectors.
1. Turn off the power supply, disconnect, and dismount the controller.
2. The back cover of the controller comprises 4 screws, located in the corners. Remove the screws,
and pull off the back cover.
Changing I/O settings
1. The I/O board of the controller is now exposed, enabling you to change I/O settings according to
the jumpers shown on page 4.
Changing Communication Settings

1. To access the communication

jumpers, locate the screw close to
COM port 1, and remove it.
2. Hold the I/O PCB board by its top and
bottom connectors and steadily pull
the board off.
3. Locate the jumpers, and then change
the settings as required. Jumper
settings are shown on page 7.

Closing the Controller

1. Gently replace the board. Make

certain that the pins fit correctly into
their matching receptacle.
Do not force the board into place;
doing so may damage the controller.
2. Replace the back cover of the
controller and fasten the corner
screws.

Note: You must replace the back cover securely before powering up the controller.
