Chapter 1 1: Introduction DROP-IN REPLACEMENT FOR A B3000 BRAIN The B3000-B is a serial brain designed as a drop-in replacement for the obsolete B3000. Two models are available: • Choose the B3000-B if you are replacing a B3000 that uses the mistic protocol. This model is compatible with FactoryFloor controllers running OptoControl strategies and SNAP B-series mounting racks.
This guide includes the following chapters that show you how to configure and wire the B3000-B or B3000-B-OMUX: Chapter 1: Introduction—information about the brain models, this guide, and how to reach Opto 22 Product Support. Chapter 2: Configuration and Communication—quick-start steps to get B3000-B brains up and running quickly.
2: Chapter 2 2: Configuration and Communication This chapter describes the B3000-B or B3000-B-OMUX serial port, how to set up serial networking, how to set the address and communications options for the brain, and how the brain addresses the I/O. Serial Port (below) Setting Up Serial Networking...
Pin 1 card, which provides an RS-485 port. Serial The B3000-B-OMUX brain can be connected connector to a PC with an Opto 22 PCI-AC48 adapter card. Reset switch For both brains, follow these steps to set up Termination serial networking:...
CHAPTER 2: CONFIGURATION AND COMMUNICATION Use the three termination switches to set termination as follows: Not at end of cable: switches off – For all B3000-B or B3000-B-OMUX brains that are not at the physical end of the cable, set all three of the termination switches to the OFF position. –...
ADDRESSING I/O ADDRESSING I/O B3000-B and B3000-B-OMUX brains are connected to a SNAP B-series I/O rack, which can hold either 8, 12, or 16 SNAP modules. Digital modules (either input or output) contain four channels of I/O. Analog input modules contain two channels and analog output modules contain one or two channels.

3: 3: WiringChapter 3 3: Wiring See the section below for communication cables recommended for use with the B3000-B and B3000-B-OMUX. See page 12 for wiring diagrams that show how to connect a B3000-B brain to a SNAP PAC S-series controller. COMMUNICATION CABLES The following cables are recommended for RS-485/422 serial communications.
WIRING DIAGRAMS WIRING DIAGRAMS Wiring a B3000-B to a SNAP-PAC-S1 Controller NOTE: The SNAP-PAC-S1 controller supports only 2-wire RS-485.

CHAPTER 3: WIRING Wiring the Brain to a PCI-AC48 Adapter Card in a PC NOTE: Check the default termination and bias on the PCI-AC48 and make certain they are set appropriately for the network. Termination should be at each end of the RS-485 cable, and biasing should be at one location only, typically at the host device, which would be the PCI-AC48 in this case.

10. Choose the firmware for your part number from the list and download it to your PC. If you have any difficulty obtaining or loading new firmware, contact Opto 22 Product Support. 11. In PAC Manager, click the browse button and locate the firmware file you just downloaded.
Depending on the type of reset you need, press and hold down the RESET button as described below. DO NOT hold the button down too long. NOTE: Do not reset the brain to hardware test mode unless Opto 22 Product Support tells you to. Reset type...
Failsafe bootloader mode is used to update firmware. It is also used for troubleshooting a problem with Opto 22 Product Support. You know the brain is in this mode if the STAT LED is blinking red and green alternately. If your brain restarts in failsafe bootloader mode, simply cycle power to the device. This action performs a simple restart and allows you to communicate with the brain.

TROUBLESHOOTING A B3000-B OR B3000-B-OMUX BRAIN • The brain enters hardware test mode if you hold down the RESET button for more than five seconds. This mode puts the brain into a continuous testing loop. If your brain is in hardware test mode, cycle power to it, and it will restart as if you had reset it to factory defaults.
