2 Introduction
The extended function keyboard X-Key 16 can be used to provide an operator
terminal with 16 extended function keys and LEDs. A maximum of four ex-
tended keyboards can be connected to one operator terminal. The terminal
scans all keyboards in the network, detects changes on function keys and writes
new values to the LED register.

3 Configuration
3.1 Connection
A maximum of four extended function keyboards can be connected to an
operator terminal. The first keyboard can be connected to the RS232C, RS422
or RS485 port on the operator terminal, independent of Point-to-Point or
multidrop configuration. The default setting is the RS232C port.
If more than one X-Key 16 is connected to an operator terminal, the keyboards
are connected in an RS485 multidrop network. Connecting also the terminal in
the RS485 multidrop network gives the most efficient communication. Pass
through communication must be enabled in the extended keyboard connected
to the operator terminal, according to chapter 5.2 Function Keys. Pass through
communication is only necessary when the first extended keyboard is connected
to the RS422 or the RS232C port on the operator terminal.
For connection to the RS232C port on the operator terminal, the cable CAB5
can be used. The maximum length of the cable is 15 meters.
The converter CAB8 (RS422/RS485) can be used for connection to the RS422
port.
For description of connections and cables, see chapter 8 Drawings.
3.2 Configuration Possibilities
Four extended keyboards connected to an operator terminal.
Note:
The function Dual drivers is supported, but two serial drivers and X-Key 16 cannot
be used at the same time.

5 Settings in the Configuration Tool
5.1 Configuration
The keyboard project application is included in the ordinary operator terminal
project, and may not be downloaded separately to the extended keyboard.
The functions in the extended keyboard are described below. For further details
we refer to the manual for the operator terminals and the configuration tool.
Adding an extended keyboard is made in the Peripheral Configuration window,
displayed by double-clicking the Peripherals folder in the Project Manager.
Drag the X-KeyNet icon from Unused functions and drop it on the selected
communication port, or right-click on the X-KeyNet icon and select Connec-
tion, to select which communication port to connect to.

acknowledge box is checked.
The digital signal stated in the Enable I/O box controls the communication to
be on or off.
The digital signal stated in the Dim I/O box is used to dim all LEDs on the key-
board.
Right-click on each of the extended keyboards and select Open to configure the
function keys, LEDs and text strips.

Beijer Electronics, MAEN827B 17
5.4 LEDs
The keyboard has 16 LEDs, connected to registers. The value of the registers de-
termines the color and blinking frequency of the LEDs. For further information
we refer to the section LEDs in the manual for the operator terminals and the
configuration tool.
The content of the LED register is to be in consecutive order to make the com-
munication between the operator terminal and keyboard quick and efficient.
Right-click on the X-Key icon in the Peripheral Configuration window and
select Open to display a view of the keyboard. Double-click on a LED to display
the LED configuration window.
There is no separate heart beat LED, but all LEDs together will flash in red if
the communication to the master terminal is broken, i.e. if the X-Key 16 has not
received any information in a couple of seconds.
The dimmer function can be on or off, controlled by a digital signal. All LEDs
will be affected by the dimmer function. See section 5.1 Configuration for
details.
The LEDs are also used to indicate errors. See chapter 7 Error Indication for
further information.
When a new system program is loaded, LED L1 will flash in green. Normally
there is no need to load a new system program.
