Module Features The PPX:505-2571 Program Port Expander Module is a member of the communication family of I/O modules for the Series 505 programmable controllers. The PPX:505-2571 is a single-wide, Special Function module that provides four additional communications ports that function like the program port provided on the CPU front panel. Ports 1 and 2 have an electrical interface that is a subset of RS–232C using a male DB9 connector. Ports 3 and 4 provide an RS–422 electrical interface using a

As control systems become more complex and dispersed, the demand for attaching serial devices has increased. Serial devices are typically used to provide operator interface, to run supervisory control and monitoring packages, and to facilitate controller programming support. Most Series 505 controllers today are equipped with two serial ports to accommodate the minimum requirement. However, these ports can be consumed with the supervisory control package and one operator device. Some controllers

More sophisticated applications may require the monitoring of a large number of variables in the controller. There are a number of third party applications available that may be used to access data from the controller and perform statistical process control, trending, report generation and other applications. These third party applications typically run on a PC or other platform but most all of them communicate to the controller directly through the program port. Often times there are multiple n

Using a notebook PC running the SIMATIC TISOFT application, a maintenance engineer can easily make changes in the controller program or adjust timer and/or drum preset values. During start up conditions a PC may be attached to a serial port to aid in the debugging process. The additional ports on the PPX:505-2571 make it possible to access locally the controller.

2.1 Getting Started The installation of the PPX:505-2571 Programming Port Expander Module consists of the following steps: 1. Planning the installation. 2. Installing the module into the I/O base. 3. Connecting operator interface devices to the module communication port. 4. Checking the module operation. Installation The PPX:505-2571 requires 5 watts of +5VDC power. Before inserting the Planning module into the I/O base, ensure that the power supply capacity is not exceeded. RS–232 communication

Configuring the The baud rates for each port may be individually set via DIP switches. In Module addition, for the RS–232 ports (1 and 2) you can enable or disable hardware handshaking. The PPX:505-2571 is shipped with all DIP switches in the OFF position. This corresponds to a baud rate of 9600 and hardware handshaking DISABLED for ports 1 and 2. NOTE: Unless the device you are attaching explicitly requires hardware handshaking, you should leave hardware handshaking DISABLED. See Table 2-1 and

Getting Started (continued) Inserting the Hold the top and bottom of the bezel and slide the module carefully into the Module into the I/O slot, pushing it all the way into the base. If you have inserted the module Base correctly, you will feel a slight increase in resistance as the module mates with the base backplane connector. Once the module is fully seated in the slot, tighten the captive screws at the top and bottom to hold the module in place. To remove the module from the I/O base, loose

If you require hardware handshaking for flow control, you should refer to the device documentation for information on connecting the RTS, CTS, DCD, DTR, and DSR lines. The PPX:505-2571 RS–232 port is configured as DTE. In addition, you should set the port DIP switch position 3 to ON (see Table 2-1 and Figure 2-1). NOTE: Most common operator interface devices do not use the hardware handshaking lines; therefore, you do not need to connect them. If you DO NOT use hardware handshaking you MUST se

Getting Started (continued) In Figure 2-3, the PPX:505-2571 module is installed into slot 1 and I/O base 0. For your particular installation, look in the chart at the slot address occupied by the module in your configuration. If the WX and WY values are the same as those shown in the example above and Special Function = YES then the module is logged into the controller memory and is ready for operation. If the line is blank or erroneous, re-check the module to ensure tthat it is firmly seated in
