DESCRIPTION

The RP C-2350 is an embedded contr oller with a built in

Basic language. The RPC-2350G also includes a

graphics display interface. Other features include:

 Built in CAMBASIC pr ogramming language

autoruns at power up. On card Flash EPROM

program mer saves program s.

 Eight single ended or 4 differential analog inputs

convert voltage inputs to a digital value using a 12 -

bit (4096 count) A/D converter. Two 12-bit analog

or 4-20 mA. outputs also available.

 Keypad port for an operator interface. The 16

position keypad is automatically scanned and is read

using the KEYPAD command.

 Two RS-232 serial ports are programm able for baud

rate, parity, length, and stop bits. Both inputs and

outputs have a 256-byte buffer.

 A watchdog timer resets the card if the program

"crashes. ” The timer is enabled and disabled by

software.

 48 general purpose digital I/O lines, 8 of which are

high curr ent outputs. These lines can connec t to

another opto rack.

 128K of battery backed RAM is standard. A 512K

RAM optionally available.

 Built in EPROM pr ogramm er save program s for

autorun on power up or reset.

The RP C-2350 uses a Z8S180 C PU o perating d ouble

clocked at 18 MHZ. Double clocked oper ation makes it

twice as fast as its equivalent 64180 CPU. The board

operates stand alone or on an RS-485 network. Its 5.0"

x 8.0" size makes it easy to mount in a NEMA box.

CAM BASIC programm ing language is standard . T his

language is similar to Microsoft GW Basic. All hardware

is supported by Basic com mands. A complete

description of CAMBASIC commands is in the

CAMBASIC Programming Guide.

Program development can take place on your PC, using

your word processor, or on the RPC-2350. Programs

from your PC can be downloaded using PC SmartLink

or other serial communication program.

Customization

We can customize the RPC -2350 for your production

needs. Some exam ples include latching connectors,

installing a specific combination of memory, soldering

IC’s directly to the board (where practical), and

removing components for cost reductions. You must

purchase at least 25 boards and allow for extra lead time.

We can provide you with a firm quote ahead of time.

MANUAL ORGANIZATION

This manual pro vides all the infor mation required to

install, configure, and use the features on the RPC -2350.

The manual is organized by function. The first section

deals with getting the board operational. Other sections

address on boar d I/O and capabilities.

This manual makes references to the RPC-2350. The

RPC-2350 and RPC-2350G are very similar. Unless

otherwise noted, everything that applies to the RPC-2350

also applies to the RPC-2350G.

This manual assumes you are familiar with some type of

BASIC programming software. The syntax used by

CAM BASIC is similar to Microsoft' s GW or

QuickBASIC. If you are not experienced with BASIC

software, you may want to refer to books and training

programs available through your local software store.

The CAMBASIC Programming Manual has information

and examples for all command s.

NOTE: The RPC-2350 uses a Zilog Z8S180

processor. Additional information can be

obtained from Zilog at www.zilog.com or

your local representative.

MANUAL CONVENTIONS

The RPC-2350 and RPC-2350G are very similar.

Unless otherw ise noted, r eferences to the RP C-2350 also

apply to the RPC-2350G. The primary differences

between the two boards are power input and graphics

display capability.
