against electrostatic discharge (ESD protection).
 Opening the device, any manipulation of the device and
the avoidance of the safety facilities are not permitted.
 All relevant safety regulations and standards must be
attended to.
 Non-observance of the safety regulations may cause
death, severe injuries or substantial damage to property.
 Before use, please, read the operating instructions and
keep it in a safe place. Make sure that the operating
instructions are always available for installation, initial
operation and maintenance.
SPEEDY ZX8T is the micro-PLC for maximum performance with
minimum dimensions. The heart of the control is not a micro-
controller, rather an CPLD-chip. This means that SPEEDY runs
your program internally absolutely parallel and in real-time –
with no cycle times.
SPEEDY ZX8T is used for controlling of the application flow
at machinery and equipment. It may not be used for control-
ling of safety circuits. The compliance to the relevant re-
quirements for installation and operation, especially
EN 60204-1, “Electrical equipment of machines“, is part of
the normal use.
Scope of Applica-
tions
 The installation and operation must be carried out by
qualified personnel only,
 who is familiar with the professional handling of machine
equipment,
 who is familiar with the valid rules of industrial safety and
accident prevention,
 who read and understood the operating instructions and
the system manual.
 The safe function of the device during machine operation
cannot be guaranteed in case of wrong connection or
improper operation. This may lead to fatal injuries.
 Pay attention to country specific regulations.
 The electrical installation must be performed after discon-
necting the device and the machine from the mains sup-
ply.
 The wiring must be carried out according to the instruc-
tions of this operating manual.
 The person who programs the device must be protected
Due to the CPLD technology controlling without any cycle
time is provided, because all signals are operated parallelly.
So the reaction time will remain constant - regardless of the
complexity of the application.
Any problems with different cycle times and corresponding
reaction times are things of the past. No matter how fast a
packaging machine runs - the cutting will be controlled in an
accurately fitting manner and the gluing will be placed at
the right position.
For this reason SPEEDY ZX8T is the ideal controller for fast
processes at packaging machines, cutting facilities, printing
stations, bottling plants, gluing stations, plastic injection
moulding machines.
Non-observance of the instructions above will cause the
loss of warranty.
 High-speed – no cycle times
 9 digital inputs
 8 digital transistor outputs
 1 counter input, optionally also as digital input
 2 potentiometers for adjustable time functions
 High interference protection, mains filter,
overvoltage protection
 Simple programming
 Power fail safe
 Modular extension facility
 Plug-in terminals

SPEEDY ZX8T controls functions at machines and plants.
The functionality will be determined by the loaded program.
SPEEDY can be programmed easily with our PC program
EX_PRESS. The software EX_PRESS is further described
in its help system.
In addition to timer and counter functions any logical combi-
nations are programmable between inputs and outputs.
Two integrated potentiometers allow time adjustments
during running processes. Four time areas cover a range
from 100ms to 10min. Additionally division factors can be
programmed with the software. If the potentiometers are set
to the left limit you get an internal calibrated time base of
100ms.
The clock input CK can also be used as a logical digital
input, too.
Each input is switched on the hardware side with a signal
delay of approx. 100µs to ensure a high interference pro-
tection.

Please, read the section „Safety Precautions“ before instal-
lation and initial operation.
 The operating voltage and the voltage for the digital
inputs must be generated by a power supply which com-
plies to the regulations of separated extra low voltage
(SELV).
 The cable cross-sections may not exceed 2.5 mm2. Make
sure that power is turned off for installation.
 A maximum cable length of the input connections of
1000 m at a cable cross-section of 0.75 mm² may not be
exceeded.
 If the device does not operate after initial start, it must be
sent back to the manufacturer unopened. If the device
was opened the guarantee claim is void.
 All inductive loads connected to the outputs must be
equipped with an effective protection circuit.
 Please consider the information in the section “Technical
Data”

Download of a
Program
The program is created on a PC with the development
system EX_PRESS (see help system of EX_PRESS) and it
is transferred into the controller. To do this:
 Connect the Programmer-USB-cable to the PC
 Plug the programming cable of the programmer into the
programming interface of the controller.
 Connect the operating voltage to the SPEEDY ZX8T (see
„Commissioning Procedure“).
 In EX_PRESS click on “Download to EX16/ZX8T…” in
the menu “Program”
 Wait until the message of the correct download appears
at the Log-Window on the PC
The inputs and outputs must be connected according to the
application/circuit diagram. Connection is made via a plug-
in screw terminal.
The switching state is indicated by LEDs at the front of the
device.
Additional information: see section „Technical Data“
Connection of the operating voltage:
 +24V DC at terminal L+
 0V at terminal M
 Protective Earth at terminal PE
The connectors M and C may be bridged. If the terminals M
and 0V of the outputs are bridged, the ground path of the
internal power line filter will be shortened and it will become
effectless. If EMC problems occur, a mains filter (order No.
585998) may be inserted.
Caution:
If a program is loaded, SPEEDY ZX8T will immediately
execute the programmed functions after turning on the
operating voltage.

SPEEDY has got an expansion socket as a standard fea-
ture. Extension modules can be connected to this, e.g. 16
additional I/O's, analogue I/O's as well as a bus interface
module. Please, see our separate data sheets.
