Page 4: Overview
Overview The OCTO24 Smart Ethernet Programmable Controller provides networked 24volts Digital I/O for MDR Powered Roller Conveyor systems using the G20 ZPA cards, as well as general purpose Fast Local/Remote Machine I/O. These Devices are fully programmable for any type of control application, and can act as a programmable master device, or a slaved Remote I/O device.

The rotary switches configure the last byte (Device ID) of the IP Address (e.g. 0 – 99 for decimal rotary switches, and 0 – 255 for hexadecimal rotary switches). NOTE: Hexadecimal rotary switches are only available on some OCTO24 models. For decimal rotary switches, the hundreds digit of the last byte can be set by simply inputting the desired value, clicking OK, then rebooting the device (e.g.
Page 10: Subnet Mask
Host ID The last byte of the Control PC IP address. This is used by the OCTO24 device as the destination IP address for forwarding received barcode messages via Ethernet/IP. The default value is “NONE”, which means that the OCTO24 device will not forward any received messages to a host, and will write the barcode to CW:61 –...

Page 13: Operating Modes
Control More than 8 In & 8 Out using one ladder program The ladder logic program controls the local I/O as well as access and control the I/O on remote OCTO24 devices. The remote I/O points appears as local I/O and are accessed the same way as the local I/O, e.g.

Octo24 User’s Guide www.vitalsystem.com  Input/Produce Message Format (T Data to Ethernet/IP Master is read from Control Words 1 through 4, and 49 thru 55, which are 16bit integers. If the card is not controlling Slave devices, these control word 49 thru 55 can be used for user defined data.
Page 18: Output/Consume Message Format (O  T)
Output/Consume Message Format (O  If the OCTO24 device is configured with Remote I/O operation, Byte0 is mapped to outputs for direct master PLC control. If remote I/O mode is off, data from master PLC is written to control words CW:9, CW:10, CW:81-88.

Octo24 User’s Guide www.vitalsystem.com Modbus / TCP Protocol Modus/TCP protocol can read the entire Control Words file CW: 1…54 via Modbus Holding Registers. Writes (or Output-Holding) are only allowed to Registers 9, 10, 23 and 24. Modbus Slave address is ignored.
Page 21: S3G-Master/Slave Protocol
The OCTO24 allows expanding the local I/O by using remote OCTO24 devices (configured as Remote I/O). Up to eight slave OCTO24 cards can be scanned by the master, providing a total of 72 inputs and 72 outputs. The ladder logic program controls the local I/O as well as access and control remote I/O of OCTO24 devices using the S3G-Master/Slave protocol.
Page 22: Profinet Rt
Octo24 User’s Guide www.vitalsystem.com Profinet RT Import XML Device Profile The Smart3G ProfiNET Device Profile can be imported into a ProfiNET project by selecting the XML device profile from Vital System Inc. After successfully importing the Smart3G device profile, it should then be available in the project’s Hardware Catalog.
Page 23: Profinet Ethernet Configuration
Octo24 User’s Guide www.vitalsystem.com Profinet Ethernet Configuration The OCTO24 IP address is always specified on the device itself depending on the rotary switch selection. NOTE: The IP Address of the device cannot be configured via ProfiNET. It can, however, be configured from the Deploy3G or SuperLogic Pro applications.
Page 24: Real Time Settings
Octo24 User’s Guide www.vitalsystem.com Real Time Settings These settings control the I/O data polling rate, and the timeout duration. The polling rate can be set as low as 4 milliseconds. I/O Data Slot# Subslot# Module Description Digital Inputs (1-byte or 8-bits)
Page 25: Sick Scanner Protocol
The RDT-400-Port must be configured with the following configuration. The Server Address should be set to the IP address of the OCTO24. Set IP-Port to 4758. RDT ID is set to 90. There is no need to configure the output format as it is fixed by RDT400 protocol.
Page 26: Barcode Operation In Superlogic
Once the Sick Scanner is configured, the control bit CB:21, 22, or 23 will light up to indicate the link is established between the SICK device and the OCTO24 PLC. When a new barcode is scanned, CB:10 will turn on. The ladder program must unlatch it once it has processed the barcode. If a new barcode is received before CB:10 is unlatched, CB:15 will turn on to indicate data overrun condition.
Page 27 Octo24 User’s Guide www.vitalsystem.com The picture below shows how to use the barcode in a lookup table or in a compare command. Comparing text string inside a compare command requires the Extended Barcode feature activation. A single barcode table can contain any number of entries for lookup. The Extended Barcode Feature activation is required if using multiple barcode lookup tables in the same ladder program.
Page 28: Programming And Configuring Octo24 Devices
6. Programming and Configuring OCTO24 Devices SuperLogic Pro The Programming and configuration of OCTO24 devices is accomplished by the SuperLogic Pro and Deploy3G PC applications. SuperLogic Pro allows editing, downloading, monitoring/debugging of the ladder logic program. The configuration window in this program allows editing the IP address and other operation parameters of the device.

Page 30: Control Words
Octo24 User’s Guide www.vitalsystem.com 7. Control Words The Control Word file is a 16-bit integer file. The ladder logic program can read and write Control Words by using the CW:n syntax, although some Control Words are read only as mentioned in the following table.
Page 31 Input / Output data for slave devices. Bits 0 – 7 are input states and bits 8 – 15 are output states. This data is also accessible using the IN/OUT file, (e.g. IN:55, OUT:71 etc). This Data is also sent to the Ethernet/IP Master while the OCTO24 device is running a ladder program. CW:57 Received Barcode Text Size.
