Installing the Panel Connecting the Panel to your Personal Computer Assigning an A 6-position DIP switch on the rear of the OP-1212 is used to assign a hardware Address to the address to the panel. Each panel must have a unique address. Any address between 0 and 30 can be used when communicating between a panel and a PLC OP-1212 or the OP-9001 Master Communications panel.
Installing the Panel Using the OP-9001 to Connect Multiple Panels With the addition of the OP-9001 Communications Master panel, you can connect up to 31 panels per a useable CPU port of the PLC. Shown below are the connection requirements. For specifics of the OP-9001 panel itself, please refer to the Communications Master User Manual (OP-9001--M).
Understanding the OP-1212 Understanding the OP 1212 Panel Overview The OP-1212 Lamp/Pushbutton panel provides various features and options that can be used together or stand alone with your logic program. The link to the PLC is one of the important aspects of the configuration process. Part of this link is called “memory mapping”.
Understanding the OP- 1212 Flashing the Another feature of the Lamps is there ability to flash. This feature is also controlled Lamps via your ladder logic. The flashing feature requires that the lamp is activated first, then the corresponding bit in memory location m+1 is activated. Again, this accomplished by activating a coil.
Applying Ladder Logic Applying Ladder Logic General Concepts Memory Mapping The OP-1212 uses memory mapping in order to link itself to a PLC. Memory mapping is a technique that maps the memory of the OP-1212 to the memory of the PLC.
Applying Ladder Logic Before going into ladder logic programming, it is good to take a moment to review Addressing and compare the addressing conventions used by AutomationDirect and Conventions Allen-Bradley. DirectLOGIC Memory - - A typical address within a DirectLOGIC PLC is Vxxxx, such as V40600 for DirectLOGIC PLCs (DL05, DL06, DL105, DL205, DL350 and DL405 families) and Rxx, such as R16 for the DL305 family.
Page 27
Applying Ladder Logic Allen-Bradley Memory- -A typical address for Allen-Bradley might be N7:0/0 or N27:0/0. The OP-1212 will allow you to define your starting address for mapping purposes using either Allen-Bradley’s integer (N7) file type or user-defined integer file types (N9--N255). If you plan to use an integer file between N9 and N255, it must be defined in the Allen-Bradley memory map before configuring the panel.
V2004.3 Pushbutton 4 Method 2: This method is only available for AutomationDirect programmable controllers. If you Internal Relays are already familiar with DirectLOGIC PLCs, then you know about internal relays. These relays, by PLC design, are mapped to certain bits in reserved memory areas.
Applying Ladder Logic Using Bit- -of- -Word with the OP-1212 Using Ladder DiredtLOGIC PLCs (DL05, DL06, DL250, DL350 and DL450) all use the bit-of-word Logic instructions. (Refer to your particular PLC user guide). The example program shown below uses a base register address of V2000 to map the status of the pushbuttons, lamps, and LEDs.
Applying Ladder Logic Using All Functions with DirectLOGIC PLCs Using Ladder When configuring the OP-1212, a base address must be selected in the CPU. This Logic address can be a direct mapping to the reserved memory locations that are tied to internal relays.
Applying Ladder Logic Using All Functions with the DL305 PLCs Using Ladder When configuring the OP-1212, a base address must be selected in the CPU. This Logic address can be a direct mapping to the reserved memory locations that are tied to internal relays.
Applying Ladder Logic Using Selected Functions with DirectLOGIC PLCs (not DL305 PLCs) Using the The “remapping” process has been briefly discussed as a method that allows you to Remapping easily manipulate individual bits to take advantage of the panels several functions. Process All the functions are bit-controlled.
Applying Ladder Logic Using Ladder In the following examples, user memory will be remapped to internal relay memory. Logic with The internal relays of DirectLOGIC PLCs (DL05, DL06, DL105, DL205, DL350 and DL405) start at V40600. In the examples below, V2000 has been used as the base DirectLOGIC PLCs address for a DirectLOGIC PLC, then SP1 (always ON relay) is used in the ladder logic to perform the remapping.

Applying Ladder Logic Using Ladder In the following examples, user memory will be remapped to internal relay memory in Logic with the order to use the pushbutton status to control outputs. The internal relays of the DL305 family start at R16. In the examples below, R400 has been chosen as the DL305 base address for the DL305, then used normally closed C374 in the ladder logic to map it to R16.

Applying Ladder Logic Using the OP-1212 with an Allen-Bradley PLC Using Ladder Integer type of files can be mapped for the Allen-Bradley PLC when being used with Logic with the OP-1212. In the examples below, integer file registers starting at base address N7:0 have been mapped.
Troubleshooting the OP- 1212 Troubleshooting the OP-1212 Panel Troubleshooting This section is intended to help you through some typical situations that might occur while using the OP-1212. It is difficult to diagnose or solve all probable situations that may arise, therefore this section will discuss some of the more common trouble areas.
Troubleshooting the OP-1212 Panel to PLC I have configured the panel and connected it to my PLC. All of the lights are Communications flashing and nothing seems to work. What do I do? Observe the TX and RX LEDs on the rear of the panel. If the TX LED flashes but the RX does not, check all cables and connections and try again.
Page 40
Troubleshooting the OP- 1212 If you are remapping, make sure that you are remapping in the proper direction and that you are using a contact that is always ON as the input to the remapping logic. Remapping must be performed every scan to function properly.
