red lion monico XCCDL User manual

 CONFIGURED USING MONICO VIEW™ SOFTWARE
 ISOLATED PORT CAPABLE OF COMMUNICATING WITH A CDL
PORT
 EASY INSTALLATION
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Both the Modular Controller Master (enhanced models) and Data Station
Plus contain a proprietary expansion port which provides a high speed, parallel
architecture that extends the functionality and flexibility of the platform. This
approach allows these products to evolve concurrently with the latest advances
in communications and standards, without sacrificing performance. This high
bandwidth channel has significantly greater throughput when compared to the
traditional (external) serial gateway approach.
The XCCDL option card adds a CDL port to the series. This isolated card
protects user equipment from potentially harmful ground loops while providing
high-speed CDL communication options to the end user.
The XCCDL communication card is easily installed by removing the blank
expansion port cover of your Modular Controller or Data Station Plus, and
plugging the XCCDL card into the expansion port. Configuration is simple
using Monico's free Monico View™ software.
SAFETY SUMMARY
All safety related regulations, local codes and instructions that appear in the
literature or on equipment must be observed to ensure personal safety and to
prevent damage to either the instrument or equipment connected to it. If
equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection
provided by the equipment may be impaired.
Do not use the controller to directly command motors, valves, or other
actuators not equipped with safeguards. To do so can be potentially harmful to
persons or equipment in the event of a fault to the controller.

INSTALLING THE XCCDL OPTION CARD
1. Remove power from the unit
2. Insert a flat-bladed screwdriver into the slot at the top of the expansion port
cover. Gently apply pressure on the screwdriver in an upward direction until
the expansion port cover disengages from the unit as shown in Figure 1.
3. Verify that the option card knobs are in the “unlocked” position as shown in
Figure 2.
4. Carefully insert the option card into the expansion port opening while
aligning the card-edge connector on the option card with the main board's
header, as shown in Figure 3. Once aligned, gently press on the front of the
card until it is flush with the front of the case.
5. Turn the option card knobs to the locked position as shown in Figure 4.
Caution: The expansion and main circuit boards contain static
sensitive components. Before handling the cards, discharge static
charges from your body by touching a grounded bare metal object.
Ideally, handle the cards at a static controlled clean workstation.
Also, handle the cards by the edges only. Dirt, oil, or other
contaminants that may contact the cards can adversely affect circuit
operation.
Warning: Risk of Danger: Be sure to remove all power before
removing the expansion port cover
