Cable Connections The 880 has three external connectors, a terminal connector for the power cord, and a cutout for installed options. Enclosure disassembly is not required to make connections to load cells, communications, digital inputs, and digital outputs. These connectors are all externally mounted on the back of the controller. 2.3.1 Load Cells To attach cable from a load cell or junction box, route the cable to the external J1connector.
2.3.3 Serial Communications Connector J3 provides connections for the RS-232 or the two-wire RS-485. Table 2-2 shows the pin assignments. RS-232 RS-485 Table 2-2. Serial Communications to Connector J7 Pin Assignments For RS-232, all four switches on SW3 (see Figure 2-7) must be in the OFF Note position.

2.5.1 Digital I/O Digital inputs can be set to provide many indicator functions, including all keypad functions. Digital inputs are active (on) with low voltage (0 VDC), inactive (off) at 5 VDC. Use the DIG IN menu to configure the digital inputs. Digital outputs are typically used to control relays that drive other equipment.
Configuration To configure the 880 indicator, the indicator must be placed in setup mode. The setup switch is accessed through a small hole on the enclosure backplate, insert a nonconductive tool into the access hole and press the configuration switch. Indicator display changes to show CONFIG Use caution when inserting the nonconductive tool into the...
3.1.2 EDP Command Configuration The EDP command set can be used to configure the 880 indicator using either a personal computer or terminal. Like Revolution, EDP command configuration sends commands to the indicator EDP port; unlike Revolution, EDP commands can be sent using any external device capable of sending ASCII characters over a serial connection.
