Brief overview
Integrated Operating Instructions
The unit's simple control system enables you to perform commissioning for many applications without the
need for hardcopy operating instructions. Your unit displays instructions at the push of a button directly
on screen. These instructions are nevertheless delivered with the unit - they supplement the Operating
Instructions in the unit. Anything that is not described directly at the unit by plain text or menus is
explained here.

The opening and closing function (= activation or deactivation of the relay coil) in the event
of a limit value can be defined in the setup "Setup -> Outputs -> Relay -> Relay x". If the
power fails, the relay assumes its quiescent switching position regardless of the
programming.
If there are several reasons for triggering a relay (e.g. 2 different limit values), this must be
set to "Collective relay" under "Setup -> Outputs -> Relay -> Relay x".

The opening and closing function (= activation or deactivation of the relay coil) in the event
of a limit value can be defined in the setup "Setup -> Outputs -> Relay -> Relay x".
If there are several reasons for triggering a relay (e.g. 2 different limit values), this must be
set to "Collective relay" under "Setup -> Outputs -> Relay -> Relay x".

• The USB 2.0 connections are compatible with USB 1.1, i.e. communication is possible.
• The assignment of the USB ports corresponds to the standard such that shielded standard
cables with a maximum length of 3 meters (9.8 ft) can be used here.
• Multiple USB sticks cannot be operated simultaneously. The USB stick that was first
connected has priority.

4.3.3 Points to note concerning USB units
!Note!
Requirements with regard to an external USB hub
If USB units are deactivated due to the 500 mA unit limit, such units can be connected by means
of a USB hub. Only active USB hubs (i.e. hubs with their own power supply) can be connected to
the unit. Hubs with an "overcurrent protection" are recommended. A maximum of 1 hub can be
connected to the unit.
Requirements with regard to the USB stick
USB sticks supported: 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB and 2 GB. It cannot be ensured that USB sticks from
all manufacturers will work perfectly. For this reason, an "Industrial Grade" SD card is
recommended for safe data recording (see Accessories).
Requirements with regard to an external USB keyboard
The system only supports keyboards which can be addressed using generic drivers (HID keyboard
(human interface unit)). Special keys are not supported (e.g. Windows keys). Users can only enter
characters that are available in the entry character set of the unit. All unsupported characters are
rejected. It is not possible to connect a wireless keyboard.
The following keyboard assignments are supported: DE, CH, FR, USA, UK, IT.
See setting under "Setup -> System -> Keyboard".
Requirements with regard to an external USB bar code reader
The connected bar code reader has to act like a HID keyboard (human interface unit) (universal
keyboard driver). The bar code reader must complete every bar code with a carriage return (0x0D)
+ line feed (0x0A).
Before connecting the bar code reader to the unit, it should be checked at a PC:
1. Connect the bar code reader and wait until Microsoft Windows®recognizes the unit as a HID
keyboard and installs it (check with the Windows unit manager).
2. Configure the bar code reader as specified in the Operating Instructions of the bar code reader.
3. Start the Notepad (editor).
4. Using the bar code reader, read in a bar code (as it is used later) and check it.
5. Only connect the bar code reader to the unit once the bar code reader has been correctly
configured and tested on the PC.
6. Select the character set at the unit under "Setup -> System -> Bar code reader -> Character
set". The following character sets are supported: DE, CH, FR, USA, UK, IT.
Note: This setting has to be identical to the configuration of the bar code reader!
The system only reads characters that are available in the entry character set of the unit. All
other characters are rejected.
7. The bar code reader should also be tested at the unit via "Main menu -> Diagnosis/simulation
-> Simulation -> Test bar code reader".
If problems arise, please contact the manufacturer of the bar code reader.
Reference list: Datalogic Gryphon D230, Metrologic MS5100 Eclipse Series, Symbol LS2208
The USB units are detected by the "plug-and-play" function. If several units of the same type
(e.g. printer) are connected, only the first USB unit connected is available.
Settings for the USB units are made in the setup.
A maximum of 8 external USB units (incl. USB hub) can be connected if they do not exceed
the maximum load of 500 mA. If overloaded, the corresponding USB units are
automatically disabled.

Requirements with regard to an external USB printer
The printer must support PCL5c (or higher). Laser jet and ink jet printers are supported. The
printouts are always color printouts (if supported by the printer). The printout has different shades
of gray if you use a black/white printer.
Reference list: HP Color LaserJet CP1515n, HP Color LaserJet Pro CP1525n, Kyocera FS-C5015N
!Note!
4.3.4 RS232/RS485 interface
RS232/RS485 connection
A combined RS232/RS485 connection is available on a shielded SUB D9 socket at the rear of the
unit. This can be used for data or program transfer and to connect a modem. For communication
via modem, we recommend an industrial modem with a watchdog function.
"Caution!
Only one interface can be used at any one time (RS232 or RS485). Choose the interface to be used
under “Extras - Serial Interface”.
4.3.5 Ethernet
In principle, a unit equipped with an internal Ethernet interface can be integrated into a PC network
(TCP/IP Ethernet). The unit(s) can be accessed by any of the PCs in the network using the PC
operating and configuration software supplied.
Using DHCP,1) the fully automated integration of a new unit into an existing network is possible
without any additional configuration. Normally, only automatic IP address acquisition has to be
configured at the client. When the unit is started in the network, it can automatically get the IP
