EXPANDABILITY

Thanks to expansion bus, the RPC 8LGA can be expanded with one expansion series module.
The supported expansion modules can be grouped in the following categories:
 additional steps
 communication modules
 digital I/O modules
To insert an expansion module:
 remove the power supply to RPC 8LGA regulator.
 remove the protecting cover of the expansion slot.
 insert the upper hook of the expansion module into the fixing hole on the top of the expansion slot.
 rotate down the module body, inserting the connector on the bus.
 push until the bottom clip snaps into its housing.
Slot 1
Slot 2
When the RPC 8LGA regulator is powered on, it automatically recognises the expansion module that have been mounted.
The expansion modules provide additional resources that can be used through the dedicated setup menus.
The setup menus related to the expansions are always accessible, even if the expansion modules are not physically fitted. The
following table indicates which models of expansion modules are supported:

IR PROGRAMMING PORT

The parameters of the RPC 8LGA regulator can be configured through the front optical port, using the IR-USB code
A25060046580008 programming dongle, or with the IR-WiFi code A25060046580009 dongle.
This programming port has the following advantages:
 Allows for configuring and servicing the RPC 8LGA regulator without having to access the rear of the device or having to
open the electrical panel.
 It is galvanically isolated from the internal circuits of the RPC 8LGA regulator, guaranteeing the greatest safety for the
operator.
 High speed data transfer.
 IP54 front panel protection.
 Limits the possibility of unauthorized access with device configuration since it is necessary to have the IR-USB or IR-WI-FI
dongles.
