WARNING: Disconnect all power to the unit before

installing Plug-in cards.

Adding Option Cards

The PAX and MPAX series meters can be fitted with up to three optional plug-

in cards. The details for each plug-in card can be reviewed in the specification
section below. Only one card from each function type can be installed at one time.
The function types include Setpoint Alarms (PAXCDS), Communications
(PAXCDC), and Real-Time Clock Card (PAXRTC). The plug-in cards can be
installed initially or at a later date.

COMMUNICATION CARDS (PAXCDC)

A variety of communication protocols are available for the PAX and MPAX

series. Only one of these cards can be installed at a time. When programming
the unit via RLCPro, a Windows

®

based program, the RS232 or RS485 Cards

must be used.

Station Address: 0 to 126, set by the master over the network. Address stored

in non-volatile memory.

Connection: 9-pin Female D-Sub connector
Network Isolation: 500 Vrms for 1 minute (50 V working) between Profibus

network and sensor and user input commons. Not isolated from all other
commons.

PROGRAMMING SOFTWARE

The Crimson

®

software is a Windows

®

based program that allows

configuration of the PAX

®

meter from a PC. Crimson offers standard drop-down

menu commands, that make it easy to program the meter. The meter’s program
can then be saved in a PC file for future use. A PAX

®

serial plug-in card is

required to program the meter using the software.

SETPOINT CARDS (PAXCDS)

The PAX and MPAX series has 4 available setpoint alarm output plug-in

cards. Only one of these cards can be installed at a time. (Logic state of the
outputs can be reversed in the programming.) These plug-in cards include:

PAXCDS10 - Dual Relay, FORM-C, Normally open & closed
PAXCDS20 - Quad Relay, FORM-A, Normally open only
PAXCDS30 - Isolated quad sinking NPN open collector
PAXCDS40 - Isolated quad sourcing PNP open collector
