Installation and Commissioning
• The membrane keyboard on the faceplate contains replacable message labels. To extract a
label, remove the detachable bezel of the device:
- Withdraw the bezel by pulling at the corners of the device housing
- Slide the labels to be replaced upward and remove them from their pockets
- Write the message text on the label, replace the label in its pocket and put the bezel back onto
the housing.
• Installing the device in the panel cutout.
Use the 2 enclosed clevis type connectors to mount the device. Tighten the connectors until the
device is securely fixed.
• Wiring according to the connection diagram.
(The maximum permissible connection distance for external pushbutton signals and RS232 is
3 metres)
Careful: The device should only be connected by qualified personnel and under strict
compliance with the relevant safety regulations.

RS232 cable pin assignment:
CAN cable pin assignment:
• Strip the cable following the
instructions
• Solder the connection to pin 3 or 8
on the shielding surface
• Connect CAN-L to terminal 4 or 6
Connect CAN-H to terminal 5 or 7
• Terminate the network ends with a
resistor of 120 Ohms between
CAN-L and CAN-H
• At the network end, connect the
shielding to ground (system ground)

Device Configuration
• Wire the inputs and outputs according to the connection diagram.
• If required, set the baud rate (see page 9).
• Set the device address (in a network, make sure that the connected devices have different
addresses).
• Check whether the device is ready for operation: RUN LED is on, FA LED is off.
• Wire the interface or the network.
• Check for proper functioning of the serial communication.
• Configure the device or the network and set the necessary parameters.
Communication Parameters
The following tasks are based on serial communication:
• Setting the parameters using software
• Loading the firmware
• Setting the connections in the network
To make sure that these tasks can rely on smooth data transmission between the PC Software
Tool and the infobox connect device, the characteristics of the communication interface must be
set up correctly.
infobox connect with RS 232:
Interface: RS 232
Baud rate: 9600 bits/sec (default setting)
Parity: even
Stop bits: 1
Cable: Standard transmission cable for RS 232
infobox connect with CAN:
Interface: CANopen DSP302
Baud rate: 125 kbits/sec (Default setting)
Address: 1 to 127 (in accordance with the selected device address)
Card: IXXAT PC-I 03 or IXXAT iPC-I 386
Driver VCI, version V2 and higher
Cable: CAN transmission cable

• Setting the Device Parameters
Use the two hexadecimally coded switches at the rear of the device to set the principal device
parameters . The boot loading function can also be triggered by a switch.
Baud Rates and Addresses
To achieve best communication through the device interface, you can adjust the baud rate so
that it matches the baud rate of the partner device. However, correct and safe data trans-
mission at baud rates higher than the default rate cannot be guaranteed. We therefore
recommend not to change the baud rate of the device.
Procedure:
- Switch off the device
- Set the switch for the required baud rate (see further down)
- Switch on device
- Wait for pulse tone of internal horn (This indicates that the baud rate is saved)
- Set the address of the device (red FA LED is on)
- Wait until the FA LED goes off again (valid address range: 1 to 7Fh)
The following baud rates can be set:
