Safety precautions
Control system design attentions
Dangerous!
Make sure design the safety circuit, to ensure that the control system can still work
safety when the external power supply cut off or PLC broken.
Make sure set emergency braking circuit, protection circuit, interlock circuit of forward-
reverse running in PLC external circuit and upper-lower limit switch to prevent from
machine damage.
In order to make the equipment safe operation, please design external protection circuit
for important output signal.
PLC CPU will close all the output when detecting the system error; the output will lose
control when the PLC circuit has problem. Please design suitable external control circuit
to ensure the device working normally.
If the PLC relay or transistor unit is broken, the output cannot be ON or OFF.
The PLC is designed for indoor environment, the lightning protection must be installed
in the power supply system to avoid PLC and other device damage.
Installation and wiring attentions
Dangerous!
Do not use the PLC in the following environment: dust, soot, corrosive gases,
flammable gas, high temperature, condensation, vibration, impact, lightning, fire.
Do not let the metal scrap and wire head drop into the ventilation hole of PLC, otherwise
it will cause fire or error operation.
Do not cover the ventilation hole of PLC, otherwise it will cause fire, error operation.
The I/O wiring must be fixed enough, otherwise the bad contactor will cause fault.
Attention!
It can use external power supply for extension module DC24V power.
Please use shield cable for high frequency I/O wiring to avoid interference.
Run and maintenance
Dangerous!
Please connect all the cable include PLC, extension module and BD board after shutting
down the power supply.
Please operate as the manual for online operation, forced output, RUN, STOP.
Attention!
Please discard the product as industrial waste.
Make sure cut off the power supply when installing or uninstalling the extension card.

Using steps
Preparation
Open the function of data traffic for the Nano SIM card
Open the message function (optional)
XD series PLC hardware V3.4.5 and up
XD/EPPro programming software V3.5 and up
XD series PLC programming cable
PC (enable to visit internet, installed XD/EPPro software)
Module configuration
4GBOX is the left extension ED module of XD series PLC, the configuration needs
XD/EPPro software and Config tool. Please make sure the PLC hardware version is V3.4.5
and up, XD/EPPro version is V3.5 and up, XinjeConfig tool version is v1.6.343 and up.
Serial port
XD series PLC serial port communication protocol includes Modbus RTU, XNET

Flag register
The flag can control the remote equipment stop, detect the signal and so on. this function
must be configured through USB port in XNET mode.
4GBOX connection
4GBOX will communicate with PLC, set ON the appointed address every 5s after module
initialization.
Signal strength
4GBOX will communicate with PLC, write the signal strength in appointed address every
5s after module initialization. The signal range is 0 to 31, 31 is the strongest.
SIM card change
After the module initialization, 4GBOX will communicate with PLC, set ON the appointed
address every 5s, if SIM is binding, reset the address every 5s.
Note:
(1) 4GBOX connection, SIM card change appointed address type: Y, M, HM, S, HS, T,
HT, C, HC.
(2) Signal strength appointed address type: D, HD, TD, HTD, CD, HCD, FD.
User authority
It is white list function. If the list is no phone number, 4GBOX will execute the message
control instruction without distinguishing the phone number. if there is phone number in the
list, 4GBOX will distinguish the number and authority to monitor the equipment.
Message function
Message monitoring(phone => 4GBOX => PLC)
User can edit the message as fixed format to monitor the equipment.
Read soft component (example)
Sending message format: R M0 returning message format: M0=ON
Sending message format: R D5 returning message format: D5=K1234
Sending message format: R DD0 returning message format: DD0=K654321
R D0 S20 return Thinget Made (S means the string length in decimal format expected to be
read)
Write soft component
Sending message format: W M0 1 //set ON M0
Sending message format: W Y23 0 //set OFF Y23
Sending message format: W Y35 1 //set ON Y35
Sending message format: W D5 K1234 //D5=1234(decimal format)
Sending message format: W DD0 H654321 //DD0(double word)=654321(hex
format), DD0 occupies D0 and D1.
W D0 “XINJE Made” //write the string in the address starting from D0 (occupy
D0…….Dn, total n characters)
Error code:
If the message format, user authority, soft component type is error, the returning message
will be error code. If there is no error, the returning message is OK.
Error1: the phone number which sending the message is not in the white list.
Error2: message format is not correct
Error3: the soft component is not correct
Error4: the phone number only has read authority, but it wanted to write in
Error5: 4GBOX and PLC BWO read write failure
Error6: 4GBOX and PLC BWO read write failure
Error7: 4GBOX and PLC BWO read write failure
Error8: 4GBOX and PLC BWO read write failure
Note:
(1) all the letters must be capitalized.
(2) The command, register, operands are separated by a space, the whole message
should not exceed 99 English characters.
(3) To send the character message, quotation mark must be English half angle “
(4) Message function only support China mobile, China unicom.
Message sending (PLC => 4G-BOX => phone)
The 4GBOX will send message to user’s phone in certain condition. Please refer to below
example.
The trigger coil should be edge signal(falling or rising edge of pulse).
In the message configuration window, 4GBOX connects the left extension
port of XD series PLC, set the port to com3
First address can be D or HD, these registers cannot be used in other place of
program
Support multi phone number type-in and set the phone number on the HMI,
the using method please refer to above picture, multi numbers are separated
by “,”
The message support Chinse and English contents, such as “present temp
{HD0}”, and user will receive the message “present temp 30” for example.
Register analysis function supports single and double words, such as D, DD,
HD, DHD, but not support DM.
China mobile, China unicom SIM card support Chinese/English and register
analysis function, China telecom only supports English and register analysis
function.
