10.6 Cscape Programming via Serial Port

The EXL10/XL10 PRIME OCS MJ1 and MJ3 serial ports support CsCAN Programming Protocol. If a PC

COM port is connected to the EXL10/XL10 PRIME OCS MJ1 or MJ3 serial port, Cscape can access the

EXL10/XL10 PRIME OCS for programming and monitoring. Programming can also be done via the CAN

port, USB A port or Ethernet.

Using Serial Communication function blocks, MJ1, MJ2, and MJ3 serial ports support Generic Modbus

Master and Modbus Slave Protocols. In addition, external modems can be connected and accessed using

Init, Dial and Answer Modem function blocks.

NOTE: The unit must be connected via the mini-USB port to the PC or laptop.

It is possible to load the program and monitor data via the Mini-B USB. To load via Mini-B USB, configure

the communications port in Cscape as follows:

Select Tools from the toolbar → Application Settings → Communications → USB button

It is possible to download or upload and use the data monitoring functions once connected.

NOTE: It is advisable to use an isolated USB cable between the PC or laptop and the EXL10/XL10 PRIME

when third party devices are connected to the X4 to avoid damage to the PC or laptop and/or the

EXL10/XL10 PRIME.
