C H A P T E R ➀
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

Chapter Objectives
The information in this chapter will enable you to:
❏Mount the RP240 properly
❏Wire the RP240 correctly
❏Verify that the complete system is installed properly
Environmental Considerations
☞Helpful Hint:
For more on NEMA
standards, contact the
National Electrical
Manufacturers
Association , 2101 L
Street Northwest,
Washington, D.C.
20037. Ask for NEMA
Standards Publication
No. 250 Enclosures for
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.
