This guide is intended to assist in the proper
installation and use of the model 2216 Dual
channel RS-232 communications model. This
module provides two independent ports
supporting all current CTC protocols.
The model 2216 when plugged into a 2600XM
controller has a variety of uses including:
program downloading and diagnostic functions.
data acquisition from host computers. operator
interfacing. print reporting and interface
to other intelligent devices such as bar-code
readers. temperature controllers. etc..
This guide provides installation and
connection information.

Installation and Connection Information
The model 2216 communications module must
be inserted into one of the slots of a model
2600XM( -10) Automation Controller. Any
combination of modules may be inserted into
the controller, and they may be inserted in any
order; the controller's CPU will dynamically
assign motor numbers, input numbers, output
numbers, etc., each time power is reapplied to
the controller. These numbers are assigned
from left to right across the controller (from slot
#1 to slot #X).
To install a module into the model 2600XM:
1. Insure that all A.C. and D.C. power to the
controller has been removed. This includes any
external supplies which may be connected to the
controller. It is best to also remove the A.c.
line cord from the side of the controller.
2. Remove the retaining screws from the top and
bottom of the cover plate in the position to be
used for the new module. Save these screws to
re-install in the new module.
3. Slide the module into the slot, insuring that
the circuit board slides into the nylon guides at
top and bottom, and that the card is oriented
properly (labelling should read right-side-up!).
4. Press the module firmly into the controller;
when properly seated, the faceplate of the
module should be flush with the adjacent sheet
metal surface.
5. Reinstall the retaining screws in the top and
bottom of the new module.

RS-232 Channels #1 and #2 using the same modular jack format as
the controller's on-board port. These connections are compatible
with CTC's 2881-2883 communications cables and of course the
cable supplied with QuickstepTM.

Front View - Model 2216 RS-232 Communications Module
Addressin&!
Each communications port is designed to function independently and is automatically
seNiced on an interrupt basis. QuickstepTM program activity will in no way cause adverse
effects to data integrity. CTC's ASCII and binary protocols may be used on any port in
the controller from a host computer or intelligent host terminal making connection and inter-
face simple.
Any port may also be configured to act as a host using currently supported message trans-
mitting and receiving conventions ( see register list located in 2600XM controller installation
guide ). To select a port for host communications you must store the port number to register
#12000 prior to accessing any of the communications registers where the controller's on-
board port is port #0, the first and second ports in the controller's rack are #1 and #2, respec-
tively. Up to sixteen ports are supported within the 2600XM controller series.
EXAMPLE:
store 2 to reg#12000 (select the second comm port in the controller)
store 10 to reg#12001 (send row 10 of the data table out selected comm port)
if reg#12000 =0 goto next (testing for port to be unbusy)
Note: Register #12000 has different meanings from writing to reading.

Computer-based Programming and Communications
The RS-232 ports on the model 2216 provide a
means for both programming and data commu-
nications. CTC's personal-computer-based
programming software "QuickstepTM"allows
programs to be quickly wlitten, stored on disk,
and ultimately downloaded into a model
2600XM Automation Controller. This software
package also provides a comprehensive diag-
nostic capability, allowing you to monitor or
modify the controller's internal registers, flags,
I/O, etc., in real time while your program is
executing.
The model 2216 is equipped with built-in
protocols allowing direct computer communica-
tions with the controller's RS-232 port. This
protocol, desclibed fully in CTC's "A Guide to
CTC Selial Data Communications", allows an
external computer to directly interact with many
of the controller's resources (i.e.; counters,
registers, I/O, flags, etc.), without modifying the
controller's program. The 2216 can also be
configured to support communications to other
external pelipherals such as operator interface
terminals, bar-code readers, plinters, other
controllers, etc., acting as a host.
RS-232 Connections
Connection to the 2216's RS-232 ports are made
via modular jack on the front of the module
(labeled "chI" and "ch2"). These jacks each
carry the "receive" signal, two grounds and the
"transmit" signal for communications. The "Pin
Connection" diagram on this page illustrates the
wiring of the jacks; note that the center four
conductors of a six-conductor jack are used.
A series of standard CTC cables are available
for making connection to these jacks, as shown
in the diagram below. As an alternative, many
commonly-available telephone cables may be
substituted - do NOT, however, connect the
controller to a telephone line.

Modular Jack Pin Connections
End View
RS-232 ports on computers are frequently
brought out through 25-pin or 9-pin "D" type
connectors. There is a standard for wiring such
connectors, followed by ffiM® and many other
PC manufacturers.
CTC has adapters available, the model 2880A or
-B, which will connect directly to a male 25-pin
(-A version) or 9-pin (-B version) "D" connec-
tor, and which provides a modular jack wired
for compatibility with the mode12216 COMM
ports. To be fully compatible when using this
adapter, the computer's communications port
should be wired as a "DTE" device (i.e.; pin 2 =
TxD, pin 3 =RxD, pin 7 = Ground).
