Red Lion XCCN - Manual (Page 3)

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.
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
supply.
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.
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.
LED
The LED will illuminate green when the XCCN option card establishes
communication with other CANopen devices (RUN). The LED will illuminate
red if no communications have been established with other CANopen devices
(ERROR).
CRIMSON SOFTWARE
Crimson 2.0 software is available as a free download from www.redlion.net
or it can be purchased on a CD, see “Ordering Information” for part number.
The latest version of the software is always available from the web site, and
updating your copy is free.
