    1: IntroductionChapter 1 Introduction The SNAP-LCSX and SNAP-LCSX-PLUS controllers are designed for use with Opto 22’s SNAP or Mistic remote I/O systems and Opto 22’s FactoryFloor software for industrial automation. The SNAP-LCSX and LCSX-PLUS controllers provide powerful real-time industrial control in a compact package.
  • Page 6: Chapter Introduction

    SOFTWARE SOFTWARE ® The SNAP-LCSX and LCSX-PLUS controllers are designed to work in combination with Opto 22’s FactoryFloor software suite, which consists of four integrated components: ™ • OptoControl , a graphical, flowchart-based development environment for machine control and process applications ™...
  • Page 7: For Help

    INTRODUCTION FOR HELP If you have problems installing or using the SNAP-LCSX or LCSX-PLUS controller and cannot find the help you need in this guide, contact Opto 22 Product Support Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Pacific Time.

    The controller does not have a power switch; to turn it off, switch off the power supply. CAUTION: Reversing wire polarity may cause damage to your controller. This damage is not covered by Opto 22’s warranty. If in doubt about which wire is which on your power supply, check with a meter.
  • Page 10 Configure the controller using OptoControl. In order to be useful with a SNAP-LCSX or LCSX-PLUS controller, a PC must have at least one element of Opto 22’s FactoryFloor software suite installed: OptoControl, OptoDisplay, OptoServer, or OptoTerm. This guide assumes that you will configure the controller using OptoControl.

    This chapter shows how to configure the controller’s faceplate jumpers. For help with See page Setting the Controller Address Setting the Host Port Setting the Host Port Baud Rate Setting the Communication Mode Setting the Boot Mode SNAP-LCSX AND LCSX-PLUS Installation Guide...
  • Page 12: Setting Faceplate Jumpers

    Bit 7 In Setting the Controller Address Each Opto 22 controller connected to a host computer must have a unique address between 1 and 255 (1 and FF hexadecimal). The table on the following page shows possible addresses and their corresponding jumper settings. The factory default is 1.
  • Page 13: Setting The Host Port

    The controller host port jumpers H0 and H1 determine which port the controller’s default host task will be started on. Because the host task is required for communication to any of Opto 22’s programming or interface software, the default host port must be set to the port attached to the host computer. The factory setting is COM0.
  • Page 14: Setting The Communication Mode

    There is no operational difference between execution from battery-backed RAM or ROM, except that the SNAP-LCSX and LCSX-PLUS have significantly more space available in RAM for program storage. The drawback to execution from RAM is that the program will be lost when the backup battery dies. (Battery life typically exceeds three years.)
  • Page 15: Chapter Configuring The Serial Ports

    • COM1 is an Opto 22 remote I/O port (half-duplex RS-485 only). The SNAP-LCSX-PLUS has two additional serial ports, both configurable either as RS-232 or as half- or full-duplex RS-485. The default mode is RS-232. In RS-232 mode, COM2 and COM3 support RTS flow control only.
