  • Page 8 RCI-200 Connections: The RCI-200 is the main board of an RCI-200-XXX Telemetry system. It provides the input and output signal connections as well as the power supply for the unit. A separate communications board is added to the RCI-200 to allow it to communicate with other units. This communications board may have its own configuration that is in a separate section of this manual.
  • Page 9 Inputs: The RCI-200 has two dry contact inputs and two 0-20mA inputs. The dry contact inputs are excited with 24VDC and will source approximately 20mA when the contact is closed. A red LED lights up when a contact input is closed.
  • Page 10 Outputs: The RCI-200 has two form ‘C’ relay contact outputs and two 0-20mA analog outputs. The relay contacts are capable of switching 120VAC, 10A or 240VAC, 6A. An energy absorbing varistor is installed across each contact to limit switching transients. A third relay contact acts as a communications fail indicator.
  • Page 11 RCI-200 Configuration: The RCI-200 requires no configuration other than for its communication fail operation. In the event of a communications failure on the communications board, the RCI-200 can be set up to take various actions on its outputs. This may be desirable in order to place connected devices into a safe operating mode.
  • Page 12 SERIAL Communication Option: The -SER communications option for the RCI series utilizes either an RS-232 or RS-485 link to exchange the signal data between a host and its remote(s). There are three types of Topologies that can be configured: 1) Point-to-Point, 2) Host-to-Multipoint and 3) PC-to-Multipoint In a Point-to-Point topology one host communicates with one remote.

  • Page 13: Serial Configuration

    SERIAL Configuration: All SERIAL configurations are done via two banks of DIP switches. SW1-1, -2, & -3 assigns the remote address from 1 to 8 using a binary encoding scheme. SW2 assigns the Topology, Channel Numbers and Host/Remote Mode. The switches are located on the communications board just above the main circuit board.

  • Page 14: Remote Configuration

    Next, set the number of channels of the host using SW2-3, -4. An RCI-200 can at most have 2 channels. This is the number of channels that will be exchanged between the host and each remote. SW2-3 SW2-4 Channels on Host DOWN Remote Configuration: To make an RCI-200 operate as a REMOTE unit, make sure that...
  • Page 15 Next, set the number of channels on this remote using SW2-1, -2. One channel is considered 1 analog input/output plus 1 contact input/output. Hence an RCI-200 can have at most 1 channel. SW2-1 SW2-2 Channels on Remote DOWN ..\Manuals\RCI-200-SER Page 8 of 12...
  • Page 16 PC or PLC Interfacing using MODBUS ASCII: The RCI-200-SER can communicate directly to a PC or PLC using MODBUS ASCII protocol. Numerous off-the-shelf software packages have built-in MODBUS support. The following information provides the MODBUS specific parameters necessary to configure the PC/PLC software. Message Format Speed Start...

  • Page 17: Point-To-Point Communication

    Point-to-Point Communication Communication between one host and one remote is called point-to-point.
