DIAGNOSTIC
DISPLAY 1
POWER
The POWER diagnostic LED illuminates green when power is active at the module.
It will illuminate red during fault conditions.
DATA
The KEYPAD diagnostic LED illuminates green when a keypad is connected to the
module. It will flash blue when any button is pressed on the keypad to show
communications are present.
CAN-BUS
The CAN-BUS diagnostic LED illuminates green when there are active
communications to an external CAN-Bus. It will flash blue when it recognises a
monitored message.
INPUTS 1-6 (Digital)
The INPUT 1-6 diagnostic LEDs illuminate green when the corresponding input is
present.
INPUTS 7-8 (Analog)
The INPUT 7 & 8 diagnostic LEDs illuminate green, amber and red to signify the
pre-programmed voltage thresholds of these inputs. This is set in the GUI.
OUTPUTS
The OUTPUT diagnostic LEDs illuminate green when the output is active. If
there is a short-circuit on an output, the LED will flash off for 500ms and
back on for 500ms continuously until a module power-cycle. The output will
shut down completely and the green power LED will turn red to indicate a
present fault. If the output is in overload condition (>8A), the output will
temporarily shut down and attempt to turn on 3 times. If the output is still
in overload condition, the output will remain shut down until the logic to
activate is cycled. During this period, the power LED will turn red and the
output LED will flash fast.
DISPLAY 2
PROGRAMMING
- When programming the iConnex, the LEDs on the diagnostic display will change function to show the status of the programming operation.
- The column on output LEDs 1-6 will illuminate green with a single red LED that flashes vertically to indicate programming mode is active.
- The column on output LEDs 7-12 will illuminate green with a single red LED that flashes vertically when data is being transferred.
- After programming is complete, the LEDs will return to normal functionality as described on page 6 (Diagnostic Display 1).
GUI
iConnex GUI is the utility used to write and upload programs to the module.
It can be downloaded, along with programming device drivers, from our website:
www.intellitecmv.com/pages/downloads
Addressing
The module can be put into ‘slave’ mode by turning the dial to 1,2,3 or 4. A
power cycle is required to activate these modes.
See below table for active modes:
| 0 | Master Module |
|---|---|
| 1 | Slave Module 1 |
| 2 | Slave Module 2 |
| 3 | Slave Module 3 |
| 4 | Slave Module 4 |
| 5 | Slave Module 5 |
| 6 | Slave Module 6 |
| 7 | Slave Module 7 |
| 8 | Slave Module 8 |
| 9 | Slave Module 9 |
| A | Slave Module 10 |
| B | Slave Module 11 |
| C | Slave Module 12 |
| D | Slave Module 13 |
| E | Slave Module 14 |
| F | Reserved For Future Use |
PROGRAMMING
The module can be programmed using the new USB-B connector. The module will
automatically enter programming mode when the GUI attempts to program the
module via this USB connection.
CAN-Bus Termination Resistor Jumpers
The module has two CAN-Bus data line connections. If the line demands a
termination resistor
at the iConnex module location, these can be enabled by selecting the jumper
position accordingly.
KEYPAD Addressing
The iConnex keypads are addressed to number 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13&14.
In any one system setup, each keypad must have its own unique address number.
The process below instructs how to change the address number,
activate/deactivate the termination resistor and how to view if you are unsure
.
To change the address of an iConnex keypad, start with the keypad powered off.
Press and hold switch 1 and power up the keypad (through the module).
All buttons will go RED. You can let go of the switches at this point. (At
this point, the RED LEDs will turn off.
Switch 1 LED will flash in the following pattern to indicate which address is
selected:
Press switch 1 to move to the next address pattern.
The number of times the switch 1 LED flashes for a short burst indicates the
address number selected. When on address 5, pressing the switch 1 button again
will revert the address number selected to address 1.
The 120ohm termination resistor for the keypad CAN network can be enabled or
disabled by pressing switch 3. If the switch LED is illuminated blue, the
termination resistor is active. If the switch LED is off, the termination
resistor is inactive.
Switch 2 LED will be illuminated white, press this switch to confirm changes.
At this point, all the buttons of the keypad will flash green for the address
pattern selected.
INSTALLATION
Expansion
15 Modules & 15 Keypads
- The iConnex system installation can be expanded to up to 15 modules and 15 keypads. That’s a total of 120 inputs, 180 outputs and 90 keypad buttons!
- The modules and keypads communicate on the same data network by wiring the ‘keypad connector’ wiring in parallel.
- The additional iConnex modules need to be addressed to their own unique number. Please see page 8 on how to do this.
- The additional iConnex keypads also need to be addressed to their own unique number. Please see page 9 on how to do this.
KEYPAD Features
3 Button Keypad (3×1 Orientation)
4 Button Keypad (4×1 Orientation)
6 Button Keypad (6×1 Orientation)
6 Button Keypad (3×2 Orientation)
- All keypads are equipped with RGB LED momentary push button switches which have dual intensity capability. They also have a programmable RGB status LED in the centre. All keypads aremade from robust, hard-wearing silicon.
- All iConnex keypads are IP66 and can be mounted externally.
- Customer logos can be requested on order for the dome inserts on the keypads for a small additional cost.
KEYPAD OLED Series
OLED DIN ENG-166-0000
TEMPERATURE SENSOR
-
The iConnex temperature sensor is an optional extra component, enhancing the PLC capability and user experience.
-
Easy to wire into the iConnex system using the 3-wire colour code as shown in the above diagram. The temperature sensor connects to the auxiliary connector on
the iConnex module. (The pin out is shown on page 5) -
The iConnex temperature sensor is waterproof and can be mounted internally or externally in vehicle applications.
-
Ranging from -55 to +125 degrees celsius, the temperature sensor is suitable for most ambient temperature monitoring.
-
The temperature sensor comes with 1000mm cable.
