Serial/CAN port is not receiving RX data to the serial device. Reset Button The IA261/262 has one reset button located on the top panel. This button can be used to do a simple Reset, which involves switching the power off and then switching the power back on again.
DIN-Rail Mounting The aluminum DIN-Rail attachment plate is already attached to the product’s casing. To attach the plate to IA261/262, make sure that the stiff metal spring is facing the top of the IA261/262, as shown in the following figures.
Hardware Introduction Wall Mounting (optional) For some applications, you will find it convenient to mount the IA261/262 on the wall. However, we strongly recommend that you use DIN-Rail mounting for the IA261/262 computer when installing at field sites that encounter high levels of vibration and shock.
Hardware Connection Description Chapter 3 This section describes how to connect the IA261/262 to a network and various devices for first time testing purposes. We cover Wiring Requirements, Connecting the Power, Grounding the IA261/262, Connecting to the Network, Connecting to a Serial Device, Connecting to a CAN device, connecting to the Console Port, VGA, CompactFlash Socket, USB, and DI/DO.
Connecting the Power The IA261/262 provide 2 kinds of power input, a screw power jack and a 3-pin terminal block, both of which allow 12 to 48 VDC power input. The two power inputs can be used to provide a redundant power solution.
IA261/262 Hardward User’s Manual Hardware Connection Description Terminal Block Screw Power Jack ATTENTION The power for this product is intended to be supplied by a Listed Power Supply Unit that is rated to deliver 12 to 48 VDC at a minimum of 1200 mA for 12 VDC, and 260 mA for 48 VDC.
Hardware Connection Description Connecting to the Console Port The IA261/262’s console port is a 4-pin pin-header RS-232 port. It is designed for serial console terminals, which are useful for identifying the boot up message, or for debugging when the system cannot boot up.
Use properly wired serial cables to connect the IA261/262 to serial devices. The serial ports of the IA261 (P1 to P4) and IA262 (P1 to P2) use male DB9 connectors. The ports can be configured by software for RS-232, RS-422, or 2-wire RS-485. The precise pin assignments are shown in the...
CAN-H Connecting to the DI/DO The IA261/262 has an 8-ch digital input and 8-ch digital output, both of which support 3 KV optical isolation protection. The digital input channels and digital output channels are located on the top side of the unit and output by terminal block. The pinouts for the I/O are shown in the figure.
Note: If you are using wet contacts, you must connect “COM” to power. Digital Output Wiring Insert CompactFlash Card The IA261/262 have a built-in CompactFlash socket. The CompactFlash socket allows users to add additional memory by inserting a CompactFlash memory card, without any risk to the computer.
