11.4 Cscape Programming via CAN

The CAN1 port supports CsCAN Programming Protocol. If a PC has a CAN interface installed (via PCI card
or USB), and the PC CAN port is connected to the EXL10/XL10 PRIME OCS CAN1 port, Cscape can access
the EXL10/XL10 PRIME OCS for programming and monitoring.
In addition, the EXL10/XL10 PRIME OCS supports single-point-programming of all EXL10/XL10 PRIME
OCS and other OCS/RCS devices that are connected to the CAN1 port network. If the PC COM port is
connected to the EXL10/XL10 PRIME OCS MJ1 serial port, the EXL10/XL10 PRIME OCS can act as a pass-
through gateway allowing Cscape to access all EXL10/XL10 PRIME OCS and OCS/RCS devices that are
attached to the CAN1 port network.

11.5 Ladder-Controlled CAN Communication

Using Put and Get Network Words function blocks, the CAN 1 port can exchange digital and analog global
data with other EXL10/XL10 PRIME OCS or OCS/RCS devices (nodes) attached to the CAN1 port network.
In addition, Put and Get Network Heartbeat function blocks allow nodes on the CAN 1 port network to
regularly announce their presence and to detect the presence (or absence) of other nodes on the network.

11.6 Using CAN for I/O Expansion (Network I/O)

Connecting Network I/O devices (SmartStix, SmartBlock, SmartMod, or SmartRail) to the EXL10/XL10
PRIME OCS CAN1 or CAN2 port, allows the EXL10/XL10 PRIME OCS I/O to be economically expanded and
distributed. A variety of modules are available for this purpose.
