1 Getting started
Read Section 2 , “Safety” (or Abschnitt 3 , “Sicherheit”, or Section 4 ,
“Sécurité”) and Section 7, “Operation” and check the CC320 fulls your
requirements.
Mount the CC320 as described in Section 5, “Mounting” using either the
DIN rail or the mounting holes.
Connect the CC320 as described in Section 6, “Connections”. When the
CC320 powers up it should show two alternating lines on the display
to indicate that it is operating properly. Three indicator LEDs on the
outputs should be pulsing in sequence every second.
Connect Ethernet to the CC320 and set it up according to Section 8,
“Ethernet setup”.
Use a web browser or the GardasoftMaint program (available from
www.gardasoft.com) to congure the unit.
To congure the CC320 without an Ethernet connection, you can
use the keypad on the front panel. Visit www.gardasoft.com to view
Application Note APP987 explaining the use of the keypad.
Visit www.gardasoft.com for further Application Notes giving additional
information on the use of the CC320.
2 Safety
Read this before using the CC320. Always observe the following safety
precautions. If in doubt, contact your distributor or Gardasoft Vision.
The following symbols mean:
Warning: Read instructions to understand possible
hazards.
Warning: Possible hazardous voltage.
Where these symbols appear in the manual, refer to the text for
precautions to be taken.

2.1 Electrical
The user must ensure that the potential dierence between any
combination of applied signals does not exceed the supply voltage.
The CC320 does not have complete tracking isolation of inputs and
outputs.
Transients caused by inductive loads must be suppressed externally to
the CC320.
2.2 General
The CC320 must not be used in an application where its failure could
cause a danger to personal health or damage to other equipment.
If the equipment is used in a manner not specied by the manufacturer,
the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
3 Sicherheit
Bitte lesen Sie dieses Dokument, bevor Sie die CC320 verwenden.
Beachten Sie immer die folgenden Sicherheitshinweise. Bei Fragen
wenden Sie sich an Ihren Händler oder an Gardasoft Vision. Die
folgenden Symbole bedeuten:
Warnung: Lesen Sie die Anleitung, um die mögliche
Gefährenquelle zu verstehen.
Warnung: Mögliche gefährliche Spannung.
Wenn diese Symbole in der Anleitung erscheinen, nden Sie im
beistehenden Text die zu ergreifenden Vorsichtsmaßnahmen.
3.1 Elektrik
Der Benutzer muss sicherstellen, dass der Potenzialunterschied
zwischen jeder beliebigen Kombination an angelegten Signalen die
Versorgungsspannung nicht überschreitet.

9|
www.gardasoft.com
Die CC320 verfügt über keine vollständige Nachlauf-Isolierung der Ein-
und Ausgänge.
Spannungsspitzen am CC320 aufgrund von induktiven Ladungen
müssen extern unterdrückt werden.
3.2 Allgemeines
Die CC320 darf nicht in Bereichen verwendet werden, in denen bei
Ausfall eine Gefahr von Personen - oder Sachschäden besteht.
Wenn das Gerät nicht entsprechend den Herstellerangaben eingesetzt
wird, kann der durch das Gerät bereitgestellte Schutz beeinträchtigt
werden.
4 Sécurité
Veuillez lire la notice avant d’utiliser le CC320. Respectez toujours les
mesures de sécurité qui suivent. En cas de doute, contactez votre
distributeur ou Gardasoft Vision. Les symboles suivants signient:
Attention: Lisez les consignes an de bien comprendre
les dangers encourus.
Attention: Risque d’électrocution.
Veuillez vous référer aux consignes du manuel pour connaître les
précautions à suivre au regard de ces symboles.
4.1 Électricité
L’utilisateur doit s’assurer que la diérence de potentiel entre toute
combinaison des signaux appliqués ne dépasse pas la tension de
fourniture.
Le CC320 ne dispose pas de système complet d’isolation des entrées et
sorties.
Les transitoires causés par les charges inductives doivent être
supprimés à l’extérieur du CC320.

|10
4.2 Général
Le CC320 ne doit pas être utilisé dans une situation où toute panne
de celui-ci mettrait en danger la santé des personnes ou risquerait
d’endommager d’autres équipements.
Si l’appareil est utilisé d’une manière diérente de celle recommandée
par le fabricant, la protection oerte par l’appareil pourra en être
altérée.
5 Mounting
The CC320 can be mounted onto a panel using the M3 threaded holes
in the base, shown in the diagram below.
Note: Ensure the mounting screws protrude no further than 6mm from
the surface to which the CC320 is to be attached.
The PP703 kit is available for mounting the CC320 on a DIN rail. The
dimensions in the diagrams below are all in millimetres.

11 |
www.gardasoft.com
The CC320 does not have an IP rating and should be mounted such that
moisture and dirt cannot enter the unit.
The CC320 is a re enclosure as long as the following conditions are
met:
»The Ethernet connector must not be facing downwards and,
»The mounting holes on the base must be covered or have a screw tted
6 Connections
All connections except Ethernet are available on screw terminals. The
CC320 top panel connections are shown below:

|12
6.1 Power supply
The power supply must be 12VDC to 24VDC regulated. The maximum
current required is 100mA. The maximum heat dissipation is 2.4W.
Caution: Do not connect a power supply to the V+out connections. This
is a low power reference voltage.
6.2 Digital inputs
The state of each input is shown on an LED next to the connector. The
inputs are arranged in two groups of 4, each group having a common
negative connection. This is summarised below:
Connector Function
POWER + Power supply, 12V to 24V
POWER − Power supply 0V
IP1 Input 1 positive
IP2 Input 2 positive
IP3 Input 3 positive
IP4 Input 4 positive
COM1 Common negative for inputs 1, 2, 3, 4
IP5 Input 5 positive
IP6 Input 6 positive
IP7 Input 7 positive
IP8 Input 8 positive
COM2 Common negative for inputs 5, 6, 7, 8

13 |
www.gardasoft.com
The CC320 inputs are optically coupled and the equivalent circuit is
shown below:
An input voltage between 5V and 24V is recognised by the CC320 as a
logic level ‘1’. An input voltage of 2V or less is recognised as a logic level
‘0’.
Referring to the diagram above, the forward voltage VFis typically 1.5V.
The input current IIN is 1.8mA at 5V and 11.3mA at 24V.
6.3 Digital outputs
The state of each output is shown on an LED next to the connector. The
connection details are shown in the table below:
Connector Function
GND1 Common 0V for outputs 1, 2, 3, 4
OP1 Output 1 open drain
OP2 Output 2 open drain
OP3 Output 3 open drain
OP4 Output 4 open drain
V+out
Low power regulated output. Maximum
source current 50mA.
Caution! Do not connect a PSU to V+out

|14
Connector Function
GND2 Common 0V for outputs 5, 6, 7, 8
OP5 Output 5 open drain
OP6 Output 6 open drain
OP7 Output 7 open drain
OP8 Output 8 open drain
V+out
Low power regulated output. Maximum
source current 50mA.
Caution! Do not connect a PSU to V+out
The CC320 equivalent circuit for the output is shown below:
The voltage between the output and ground must not be greater than
24V and the output can only sink up to 50mA.
If the output is shorted to a voltage higher than 5V then the output may
be damaged.
Do not draw more than 50mA from the V+out connections as this can
aect the internal operation of the controller. These outputs are just to
be used for low current, for example pull-up resistors.

6.4 Ethernet connector
The RJ45 Ethernet connector requires a straight through cable to
connect into a network switch, hub or router. It runs at 10Mbits per
second.
