Mounting
Dimensions

Panel Mounting
Before you begin, note that the
mounting panel cannot be more than
5 mm thick.
1. Make a panel cut-out measuring
92 x 92 mm (3.622” x 3.622”).
2. Slide the controller into the cut-
out, ensuring that the rubber seal
is in place.
3. Push the 2 mounting brackets into
their slots on the sides of the
controller as shown in the figure
to the right.
4. Tighten the bracket screws
against the panel. Hold the
bracket securely against the unit
while tightening the screw.
5. 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.

Wiring

Do not touch live wires.

Install an external circuit breaker. Guard against short-circuiting in external wiring.

Use appropriate circuit protection devices.
Unused pins should not be connected. Ignoring this directive may damage the device.
Double-check all wiring before turning on the power supply.
To avoid damaging the wire, do not exceed a maximum torque of 0.5 N·m (5 kgf·cm).
Do not use tin, solder, or any substance on stripped wire that might cause the wire strand
Caution
to break.
Install at maximum distance from high-voltage cables and power equipment.
Wiring Procedure
Use crimp terminals for wiring; use 26-12 AWG wire (0.13 mm 2–3.31 mm2):
1. Strip the wire to a length of 7±0.5mm (0.250–0.300 inches).
2. Unscrew the terminal to its widest position before inserting a wire.
3. Insert the wire completely into the terminal to ensure a proper connection.
4. Tighten enough to keep the wire from pulling free.

Input or output cables should not be run through the same multi-core cable or share the same wire.
Allow for voltage drop and noise interference with input lines used over an extended distance. Use
wire that is properly sized for the load.
The controller and I/O signals must be connected to the same 0V signal.

I/Os
This model comprises a total of 12 inputs and 12 transistor 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 9.
Incompatible jumper settings and wiring connections may seriously damage the controller.
Do not move JP2.

Transistor Outputs

Power Supply
The controller requires an external 24VDC power supply.

A non-isolated power supply can be used if a 0V signal is connected to the chassis.

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 Power Supply

To maximize system performance, avoid electromagnetic interference by:
Mounting the controller on a metal panel.
Earthing the controller’s power supply: connect one end of a 14 AWG wire to the chassis
signal; connect the other end to the panel.
Note: If possible, the wire used to earth the power supply should not exceed 10 cm in length.
However, it is recommended to earth the controller in all cases.

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.
By factory default, the port is set to RS232, termination ON.
Use RS232 to download programs from a PC, and to communicate with serial devices
and applications, such as SCADA.
Use RS485 to create a multi-drop network containing up to 32 devices.
Pinouts
The pinouts below show the PLC port signals.
To connect a PC to a port that is set to RS485, remove the RS485 connector, and connect the PC to
the PLC via the programming cable. Note that this is possible only if flow control signals are not used
(which is the standard case).

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, RS232, RS485 termination ON.
Note that in order:
To change the communication setting
to RS485, both communication
standard jumpers must be moved
To change the RS485 termination,
both termination jumpers must be
moved
To access the jumpers, you must open the
controller according to the instructions beginning
on page 9.

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 5.

Changing Communication Settings

1. To access the communication

jumpers, hold the I/O PCB board by
its top and bottom connectors and
steadily pull the board off.
2. Locate the jumpers, and then change
the settings as required. Jumper
settings are shown on page 8.

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.
