Panel mounting
Before you begin, note that:
The mounting panel cannot be more than 5 mm thick.
To minimize electromagnetic interference, mount the controller on a metal panel and
earth the power supply according to the details in step 2 below.
1. Make a panel cut-out according to the dimensions shown below.
Cut-out Dimensions
2. If you mount the controller on a metal panel, earth the power supply:
a. Bore a hole to suit the NC6-32 screw supplied with the kit.
b. Scrape panel paint away from the contact area to ensure a conductive
connection.
c. Drive the screw into the hole.
d. Place the following hardware screw’s shank, in the order shown in the
accompanying figure: washer, ring cable shoe, second washer, spring,
and nut.
Note:
The wire used to earth the power supply must not exceed 10 cm in
length. If your conditions do not permit this, do not earth the
power supply.

3. Slide the controller into the cut-out, ensuring
that the rubber seal is in place.
4. Push the 4 mounting brackets into their slots
on the sides of the controller as shown in the
figure to the right.
5. Tighten the bracket screws against the
panel. Hold the bracket securely against the
unit while tightening the screw.
6. When properly mounted, the controller is
squarely situated in the panel cut-out as
shown in the figure to the right.
I/O Modules
I/Os are integrated into the system via Snap-in Modules and I/O Expansion Modules. Installation
instructions and other data may be found in the module’s technical specification sheet.
Wiring: General
Do not touch live wires.
Unused pins should not be connected. Ignoring this directive may damage the device.
Caution
To avoid damaging the wire, do not exceed a maximum torque of 0.5 N·m
(5 kgf·cm).
Do not use tin, solder, or any substance on stripped wire that might cause the wire
strand to break.
Use crimp terminals for wiring; use 26-14 AWG wire (0.13 mm 2–2.08 mm2).
1. Strip the wire to a length of 7±0.5mm (0.250–0.300”).
2. Unscrew the terminal to its widest position before inserting a wire.
3. Insert the wire completely into the terminal to ensure a proper connection.
4. Tighten enough to keep the wire from pulling free.

Power Supply
The controller requires an external 24VDC power supply. The permissible input voltage range is
20.4-28.8VDC, with less than 10% ripple.
Anon-isolated power supply can be used if a 0V signal is connected to the chassis.
You must use an external circuit protection device.
Install an external circuit breaker. Guard against
short-circuiting in external wiring.
Double-check all wiring before turning on the power
supply.
Do not connect either the ‘Neutral or ‘Line’ signal of
the 110/220VAC to device’s 0V pin.
In the event of voltage fluctuations or non-conformity
to voltage power supply specifications, connect the
device to a regulated power supply.
To avoid electromagnetic interference, earth the
power supply as described on page 3.
Communication Ports
This series comprises 2 RS232/RS485 serial ports and a CANbus port.
Turn off power before making communications connections.
Caution Signals are related to the controller’s 0V; the same 0V is used by the power supply.
Always use the appropriate port adapters.
Serial Communications
The serial ports are type RJ-11 and may be set to either RS232 or RS485 via DIP switches, in
accordance with to the table shown on page 7.
Use RS232 to download programs from a PC, and to communicate with serial devices and
applications, such as SCADA.
Use RS485 to create a multi-drop network containing up to 32 devices.
Caution The serial ports are isolated. If the controller is used with a non-
isolated external device,
avoid potential voltage that exceeds ± 10V.
Pinouts
The pinouts below show the signals between the adapter and port.

RS232 to RS485: Changing DIP Switch Settings
The ports are set to RS232 by factory default.
To access the DIP switches, first remove the Snap-in I/O Module, if one is installed, and then
remove the back of the controller.
Before removing a Snap-in I/O Module or opening the controller, you must turn off the
power.
Removing a Snap-in I/O Module
1. Locate the four buttons on the sides of the controller, two on either side.
2. Press the buttons and hold them down to open the locking mechanism.
3. Gently rock the module from side to side, easing the module from the controller.
Opening and Closing the Controller
1. Locate the slots on the sides of the
controller.
2. Open the controller by inserting a
flat-bladed screwdriver into the
slots located on the side of the
controller, then carefully prying off
the rear panel.
3. Locate the DIP switches, and then
change the settings as required.
Settings are shown on page 7.
4. Close the controller
by snapping the
plastic cover back in
its place.

Re-installing a Snap-in I/O Module
1. Line the circular guidelines on the controller up with the guidelines on the Snap-in I/O Module as
shown below.
2Apply even pressure on all 4 corners until you hear a distinct ‘click’. The module is now installed.
Check that all sides and corners are correctly aligned.

CANbus
These controllers comprise a CANbus port. Use
this to create a decentralized control network of
up to 63 controllers, using either Unitronics’
proprietary CANbus protocol or CANopen.
The CANbus port is galvanically isolated.
CANbus Wiring
Use twisted-pair cable. DeviceNet® thick
shielded twisted pair cable is recommended.
Network terminators: These are supplied with the
controller. Place terminators at each end of the
CANbus network.
Resistance must be set to 1%, 121Q,1/4W.
Connect ground signal to the earth at only one
point, near the power supply.
The network power supply need not be at the
end of the network
