Introduction
Chapter Objective
The information in this chapter will enable you to:
❏Understand the product's basic functions & features
Product Description
The RP240 is designed to operate as an operator interface for Compumotor's
Extended X (the SX Indexer/Drive, ZX Indexer/Drive, and Model 500 Indexer)
and 6000 Series products (6200 Indexer and 6250 Servo Controller). The
RP240 operates strictly as a dumb terminal. No programming of any kind
can be accomplished using the RP240. The RP240 is controlled by commands
available in the Extended X and 6000 Series command sets. The commands
allow the programmer to create a program (within the Extended X or 6000
Series product) to prompt an operator for numeric information, read
function keys, display variables and text, and control the 8 LEDs located on
the RP240.
If the RP240 is not used with the SX, ZX, Model 500, 6200, or 6250, ASCII
command strings sent directly to the RP240 can be used to control the
functions contained within the RP240 (refer to Chapter ➅Direct Control of
the RP240).
RP240 Features
❏Operates directly with Compumotor's SX and ZX Indexer/Drives, and the Model
500 Indexer
❏Operates directly with Compumotor's stand-alone 6000 Series products (6200
and 6250)
❏Can be used with any controller capable of transmitting ASCII strings across
RS-232C
❏Screw terminal connections for easy wiring
❏Optional NEMA specification ratings (standard RP240 is NEMA 12, optional
RP240-NEMA4 meets NEMA 4 & NEMA 12 specifications when panel mounted.)
❏Adjustable contrast for the LCD display
❏Eight independent LEDs
❏Numeric and function key data entry
❏Uses less than 100 mA of current at 5VDC

❏Mount the RP240 properly
❏Wire the RP240 correctly
❏Verify that the complete system is installed properly
Environmental Considerations
☞Helpful Hint:

standards, contact the

Electrical Equipment.
The RP240 is designed to be mounted to a door, on a panel front, desk, or
carried by hand. The RP240-NEMA4 is designed to be flush mounted in a
door. Both the RP240 and RP240-NEMA4 are designed to work in
temperatures up to 122°F (50°C). NEMA 12 specifications are achieved when
the RP240 is door or panel mounted using the provided gasket. NEMA 4
specifications are achieved when the RP240-NEMA4 is door or panel
mounted using the provided gasket. NEMA Type 12 enclosures provide a
degree of protection against dust, falling dirt, and dripping non corrosive
liquids. NEMA Type 4 enclosures provide a degree of protection against
windblown dust and rain, splashing water, and hose-directed water.
Electrical Noise Minimize the potential for electrical noise before installing the RP240
rather than attempting to solve such problems after installation. You can
prevent electrical noise by observing the following installation precautions:
❏Do not put high-voltage wires and low-level signals in the same conduit
❏Do not expose wiring (shield all wires)
❏Ensure that all components are properly grounded
Airborne Contaminants
Contaminants that may come in contact with the RP240 should be carefully
controlled. Particulate contaminants, especially electrically conductive
ones (such as metal shavings), can damage the RP240.

System Mounting
RP240 Door MountTo mount the RP240 operator panel to the door of an enclosure, or on a panel,
follow the steps below.
➀Drill four holes as shown in the following figure
➁Remove the bayonet mounts (screws and standoffs) and rubber feet from the
back of the operator panel (save the screws for mounting).
➂Put one screw through the door.
➃Put the gasket (provided) on the screw.
➄Put the operator panel onto the screw and tighten.
➅Align the panel and gasket and insert the remaining three screws.
➆Connect the 4 wires between the operator panel and the Extended X or 6000
Series product. See RP240 Connections later in this chapter.

Wiring Guidelines
☞Helpful Hint:
All earth ground
connections must be
continuous and
permanent.
Compumotor
recommends a single-
point grounding setup.
Proper grounding of electrical equipment is essential to ensure the safety of
personnel. You can reduce the effects of electrical noise due to
electromagnetic interference (EMI) by proper grounding. All Compumotor
equipment should be properly grounded. A good source of information on
grounding requirements is the National Electrical Code published by the
National Fire Protection Association of Boston, MA. In general, all
components and enclosures must be connected to earth ground through a
grounding electrode conductor to provide a low impedance path for ground
fault or noise-induced currents.
RP240 Connections
The RP240 operator panel is connected to the Extended X (SX, ZX, or Model
500) and 6000 Series (6200 or 6250) products by means of a four wire shielded
cable (user supplied). For cable lengths up to 50 feet long, Compumotor
recommends using 20 AWG wire. Cable lengths longer than 50 feet are not
recommended. This in accordance with the Electronic Industries
Association (EIA) recommendations for RS-232C at 9600 baud.

Chapter ➂I nstallation 9
To wire the RP240 to a 6000 Series product (6200 or 6250), connect the +5VDC
connection on the RP240 to the +5VDC source on the 6000 Series connector
labeled RP240. Connect the RP240 ground connection to the ground on the
6000 Series connector labeled RP240. Connect the RP240 Receive Data (Rx)
terminal to the controller's Transmit Data (Tx) terminal, and the RP240
Transmit Data (Tx) terminal to the controller's Receive Data (Rx) terminal.
Make all connections on the 6000 Series connector labeled RP240.
To wire the RP240 to an Extended X product, connect the +5VDC connection
on the RP240 to a +5VDC source capable of supplying 100 mA of current. You
must supply 5VDC ±2% to pin 1 of the RP240. You can use the 5VDC power
supplies on the SX, ZX, or Model 500 provided there is enough current
remaining. Current levels are shown in the table below.
Current Requirements
Available Encoder I/O RP240
SX 250 mA 150 mA 10 mA each 100 mA
ZX 500 mA 150 mA 0 mA 100 mA
500 500 mA 150 mA 0 mA 100 mA
Connect the RP240 ground connection to the ground of the +5VDC power
supply. Connect the RP240 Receive Data (Rx) to the controller's Transmit
Data (Tx), and the RP240 Transmit Data (Tx) to the controller's Receive Data
(Rx). Connect the RP240 only after you have programmed the controller for
operation with the RP240.
