- Page 5 RCI-100 Connections: The RCI-100 is the main board of an RCI-100-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-100 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 6 Inputs: The RCI-100 has one dry contact input and one 0-20mA input. The dry contact input 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. The analog inputs are configured as 0-20mA inputs and have a 250Ω...
- Page 7 Output Calibration & Input Testing: The outputs on the RCI-100 are factory calibrated and should not require any adjustments. To check the calibration of the outputs and relays use jumpers H1-7 & H1-8 as shown below to set them to known states. If an output should require some adjustment, the main circuit board has to be removed from the analog input/output board to gain access to the output calibration potentiometers.
- Page 8 RCI-100 Configuration: The RCI-100 requires no configuration other than for its communication fail operation. In the event of a communications failure on the communications board, the RCI-400 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 9 100-SER pictures SERIAL Communication Option: (x3) 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 10 SERIAL Configuration: All SERIAL configurations are done via two banks of DIP switches SW1 and SW2. The switches are located on the communications board just above the main circuit board. They are a slide switch type that slides up for ON and down for OFF if viewed straight-on with the RCI mounted upright on a wall.
- Page 11 Host Configuration: To make an RCI-100 operate as a host unit, make sure that SW1-8 is flipped to the ON position. Next, set the number of remotes that the host is to communicate with using SW1-1. These switches are binary encoded as shown in the chart below.
- Page 12 Next, set the number of channels of the host using SW1-6, -7. An RCI-100 can at most have 1 channel. This is the number of channels that will be exchanged between the host and each remote. 1 Channel SW2-3 SW2-4 Channels on Host remove blank rows An optional Reply Timeout parameter can be set on...
- Page 13 Remote Configuration: To make an RCI-100 operate as a REMOTE unit, make sure that SW1-8 is flipped to the OFF position. Next, set the remote address using SW1-1, -2, & -3. This switch is binary encoded and you will have to convert the remote address to binary first. SW1-1 SW1-2 SW1-3...
- Page 14 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...
