The information in this chapter will enable you to:
Understand the product's basic functions & features
The RP240 is designed to operate as an operator interface for Compumotor's
Extended X (the SX Indexer/Drive, ZX Indexer/Drive, and Model 500 Indexer)
and 6000 Series products (6200 Indexer and 6250 Servo Controller). The
RP240 operates strictly as a dumb terminal. No programming of any kind
can be accomplished using the RP240. The RP240 is controlled by commands
available in the Extended X and 6000 Series command sets. The commands
allow the programmer to create a program (within the Extended X or 6000
Series product) to prompt an operator for numeric information, read
function keys, display variables and text, and control the 8 LEDs located on
the RP240.
If the RP240 is not used with the SX, ZX, Model 500, 6200, or 6250, ASCII
command strings sent directly to the RP240 can be used to control the
functions contained within the RP240 (refer to
the
RP240).
Operates directly with Compumotor's SX and ZX Indexer/Drives, and the Model
500 Indexer
Operates directly with Compumotor's stand-alone 6000 Series products (6200
and 6250)
Can be used with any controller capable of transmitting ASCII strings across
RS-232C
Screw terminal connections for easy wiring
Optional NEMA specification ratings (standard RP240 is NEMA 12, optional
RP240-NEMA4 meets NEMA 4 & NEMA 12 specifications when panel mounted.)
Adjustable contrast for the LCD display
Eight independent LEDs
Numeric and function key data entry
Uses less than 100 mA of current at 5VDC
