  • Page 2 RS-232 serial cable is not provided. Both products are in the same size chassis which is one RU (rack unit) high and two-thirds wide. Either CS1 model will occupy 2 of 3 bays in an available RDL RU-RA3 rack mounting accessory.
  • Page 3 Refer to the RDL RU-SC2 Installation Instruction for wiring and cable diagrams. Note: The RDL RU-SC1A is not recommended for long distance CS1 control. The RDL RU-SC1A model will not always work properly as it is a half duplex device, which will only communicate to another RU-SC1A one way at a time.
  • Page 4 (available through both the SYS-CS1 and RU2-CS1 HTML pages). The code is for a demonstration program that uses most of the features of either the SYS-CS1 or the RU2-CS1. The code may work in other versions of Visual Basic. See the Microsoft Visual Basic section below for more information.
  • Page 5 The use of return codes from the CS1 (REN command) is highly recommended in conjunction with the OnComm event as used in the demo program. The alternative is to use delays after all commands are sent. This technique is used in the demo program in the start up code in the Form, Load event in the automatic baud rate setting code, where it is a necessity.
  • Page 6 ICE or ICEALL commands. CONTROL COMMANDS FOR MODEL SYS-CS1 TO CONTROL A SYSTEM 84 C1IxOy: Turns on (ground) pin for input channel Ix (x = 1 to 8) to output channel Oy (y = 1 to 4).
  • Page 7 0 TO 10 VOLT OUTPUT COMMANDS VOmxxx: (m = A to H, xxx = 0 to 255) Sets 0 TO 10V OUTPUT ‘m’ to level ‘xxx’. A level of 255 corresponds to 10 Vdc (or 5 Vdc for 5 V range) and a level of 0 produces an output of 0 Vdc. A level of 128 would correspond to 5 Vdc (or 2.5 Vdc for 5 V range).
