1 Introduction
BoxX 2 series PLC is an upgraded version of old BoxX PLC, which is
programmed by the use of a Function Block Diagram. The programming of
BoxX 2 is simpler and easier to learn than that of a conventional PLC, which
uses ladder diagrams and associated instructions. In the design concept of
BoxX 2 series products, it adds power indicator, comes with 2-way 485
communication interface, supports standard MODBUS RTU protocol and can
modify parameters and other functions through the LCD panel, which greatly
reduces the user's cost investment, and for the operation It brings great
convenience. The volume of BoxX 2 series products follows the old BoxX 2's
small size, light weight and other characteristics, and is especially suitable for

1.3 BoxX 2 Features
1. Removable LCD display (AF-HMI)
AF-HMI (Removable LCD display) can be used flexibly according to your
needs.When you need it, you can install and use the keys on the panel to
query/set the BOXX 2 address, BOXX 2 system time, modify the function
block parameters and manually calibrate the analog quantity, etc.When you
don't need it, you can disassemble it and replace it with an ordinary panel,
which will greatly reduce your cost of use.However, compared with AF-LCD,
the AF-HMI operator panel cannot be programmed manually.
2. FB programming and big program storage capacity
BOXX 2 uses a function block to realize the control function that the previous
PLC needed a large section of the program to realize, and several functional
blocks are connected in a certain way to complete more complicated control
functions. The BOXX 2 can accommodate up to 127 function block programs.
There are enough resources for you to implement complicated control
requirements. Once the program is written, it will never be lost. BOXX 2 uses
a larger memory capacity chip than BoxX.
3. Exquisite and compact design
If you are looking to make your device delicate, BOXX 2 will be your
best
partner. It only needs to occupy you
AF-10 Series:71.6mm*90.4*57.6mm
AF-20 Series:126.4mm*90.4*57.6mm
4. Free programming software
The free QUICKII programming software is an extremely friendly human-
machine programming interface.It not only can edit function charts, but also
can provide functions such as off-line simulation of your programs and on-line
monitoring of I/O status. It solves many inconveniences such as customer
online testing.
5. Real-time clock function
The BOXX 2 has a clock-recording function that can run at any time you need,
and you can set up to 127 different time periods, especially for systems that
require time control. The timing is accurate to the second, and BOXX 2's RTC
precision error is greatly improved to 20s/month compared with BoxX, making
your time control more accurate.

BOXX 2 series PLC INSTRODUCTION
6. Analog inputs
BOXX 2 can receive analog input except for switch input so as to complete the
control of temperature, humidity, pressure, flow, liquid level, etc., and can
monitor the analog value status of the PC through short distance or long
distance.And BOXX 2 simulation accuracy and BoxX greatly improved to 10
(0.1v)
7. Security password lock function
BOXX 2 has absolute confidentiality for the program you write. You can set
your own password before burning the program. You can modify the
application only after entering the correct password. When the AF-HMI panel
enters the function interface, it must enter the correct password and protect it
with the * symbol.
8. Power indicator
BOXX 2 adds red power indicator to facilitate the customer to visually check
whether the machine is properly connected to the power supply. When
customers use BoxX before, it is necessary to use a multimeter to test the
voltage across the power supply to determine whether the power supply is
properly connected to the customer, causing inconvenience to the customer.
9. Communication interface
In addition to downloading the communication port, BOXX 2 also adds two 485
ports to save the cost and space for customers directly. BOXX 2's A1B1
interface supports the standard MODBUS RTU protocol and can communicate
with other manufacturers' branded touch screens and other devices. BOXX 2's
A2B2 interface is used to communicate with our SH300 text display. A detailed
description of the communication interface is given chapter 4.
10. Communication protocol
In addition to the custom protocol for the download port, BOXX 2 adds the
standard MODBUS RTU protocol. The old BoxX only supports custom
protocols.

BOXX 2 series PLC Installation and Wiring
Proximity switch type with direct input 2-wire system/3-wire system/4-wire
Note:
1. Analog can be input into analog-receivable BOXX 2s like
AF-10/20MR-D2,AF-10/20MT-D2,AF-10/20MT-GD2 through all the input
ports(I1-I6/I1-IC).As long as the analog-related function blocks are used in
the program,Its port is automatically set to analog input. If in the program do
not use the analog-related function blocks, its port is automatically set to
digit input.
2. The analog inputs require DC 0V~10V voltage signals, which are divided
equally in 0.1V increments. When you edit the program, all the block
parameters related to the analog inputs are based on the minimum
increment of 0.1V.
3.When the input voltage is higher than DC10.0V, it can only be used as
switch, not be used as analog.
4.For digit input,when the switch state changes from 0 to 1, the time of the 1
state must be greater than 50ms .When the switch state changes from 1 to
0, the 0 state must also exist for more than 50 ms.
