Installing the Panel

Power and Cabling Requirements
What Are Your
Application Needs?

The communication cable requirements will depend on your particular application.
There are two types of configuration possibilities: point-to-point (a single operator
interface connected to a PLC) and multi-drop (multiple operator interfaces
connected to a PLC).
D
Point-to-Point -- If only one operator interface will be connected to one PLC,
then just choose the appropriate cables from the chart on Pages 12 and 13.
D
Multi-drop -- By using an OptiMate OP--9001 Communications Master,
multiple Optimate units can be connected to a single PLC. Up to 31 individual
units can be connected in a daisy-chain fashion to the OP--9001.
Communications are via RS422 between the OP--9001 and the operator
interfaces. When using a quality shielded cable, a total distance of up to 4000
feet between the OP--9001 and the last operator interface unit in the chain
can be achieved. If the distance 30 feet or less, a ribbon cable with
easy-to-install crimp-on ribbon connectors can be used.

1. Point-to-Point

2. Multi-drop

A single cable connection from
the PLC to the panel gives you
access to the PLC’s data registers and ladder logic.

Multiple OP-panels can be interfaced to a single PLC.
This requires the use of the OP-9001 Communications
Master. With the Communication Master, up to 31
panels can be interfaced to a single CPU port. Each can
be programmed for entirely different functions. Panels
can be distributed up to 4000 feet* from the OP-9001.

NOTE: Please read and follow the cabling requirements in the OP-9001 User

the User Manual may affect the integrity of the RS422 link, resulting in
communication errors.

The OP-ACBL--1 (shown above) is also used to connect Allen-Bradley SLC 5/03 and 5/04
PLCs to an OP-1224 panel. Since the OP-1224 is compatible with all of the DirectLOGIC and
compatible CPUs, your cabling requirements wll vary depending on the CPU type you are
using. Refer to the table on the next page for matching the proper cable to your PLC. Pin
diagrams refer to the ends of the cables and not the communication ports.

Choosing the Proper Connecting Cables
OptiMate Panel Cables

Depending on which PLC you are
using, you may require as many
as two cables--one to connect the
panel to a personal computer for
configuration; and one to
connect the panel to the PLC.
Here are the requirements:
D

D

D

OP-ACBL-1: all units require this
cable for configuration. This isa 9-pin
male to 15-pin male cable that
connects your personal computer to
the OptiMate unit. (This cable is also
used to connect an OptiMate panel to
the Allen-Bradley SLC--500 PLC.
CPU Cables: You will also need the
appropriate cable to connect your
CPU to the OptiMate unit. Use the
chart shown to the right to choose the
correct communications cable.

OP-ACBL-2: The 8 Pin Mini--DIN is a
non standard connector used for the
Micrologix 1000. We recommend
using the OP--ACBL--2 cable and
modifying the length for any
applications between 6.56 -- 50 ft.

OP--CMCON--1 — pack of 4 ribbon

OP--CMCON--2 — pack of 4
solder-type connectors.

For electrically noisy environments,
we recommend a good shielded
cable, such as Belden 9729 or
equivalent. This type of cable will
require the solder-type connectors.
If you’re going 30 feet or less, you
can use ribbon cable. For ribbon
cable, we recommend Belden
9L28015 or 3M 3365/15.

Installing the Panel

Connecting a Power Supply
Power Supply
Connections

The OP-1224 panel can operate on DC voltages between 8 and 30 VDC rated at 4 watts.
Connect the panel to a power supply (within the required voltage range and wattage) using
the terminal block connector supplied. The connector is polarized to prevent reversing the
connections. The male receptacle on the rear of the panel will only connect in one way with
the female connector that is supplied with your OP-1224 panel. Pin 1 is the positive
connection, while Pin 2 is the negative, or ground, connection.

You must use an external power supply that can
deliver voltages in the 8 to 30 VDC range, and
can supply 4 watts of power.
A two-prong male connector
is on the rear of the unit.
Your OP-panel is shipped
with the female connector.

Configure the Panel to Work with the CPU
Assigning an
Address to the
OP-1224

A 6-position DIP switch on the rear of the OP-1224 allows you to assign a hardware Aaddress
to your panel. Each panel must have a unique address. You can use any address between 0
and 30 when communicating between a panel and a PLC or the OP-9001 Master
Communications panel. Address 31, however, is reserved. See the note that follows.
NOTE: You must use Address No. 31 when you are using the OP--WINEDIT software to
download to the OP-1224 panel. No other address will work for the configuration process. In
a similar manner, if you are connecting more that one OP-panel to a single CPU (through an
OP-9001), then the OP-9001 needs to know which set of configuration parameters belong to
which OP-panel. You do this by assigning an address in the range of 0 to 30 to each panel
connected. Each panel must have a different address.

DIP Switch

How to Set the
Address

Rear View

To set the address on the OP-1224, simply set the apppropriate switches on the dip switch to
the desired address. The figure below shows the binary weighting of each switch position.
Notice that it is in decimal format. To select address 14 for example, you would press switches
2, 3 and 4 down to the right, and switches 1, 3 and 5 to the left (2 + 4+ 8 = 14). Any address
between 0 and 30 is valid for the OptiMate-to-CPU (or to OP9001) communications. Address
31, however selects the configuration mode. Use this mode when you connect your personal
computer to the panel for configuration. To select address 31, turn switches 1 through 5 ON.
NOTE: When the dip switches are changed, the OP-1224 must be power cycled before the
new settings will take effect.

Termination
Resistor.
(See text
below.)

OFF = DISABLE

Switch position 6 enables or disables an internal termination resistor. The OptiMate panels
communicate via an RS232 or RS422 communcations network. If you are using a single
panel that will be located less than 50 feet from the CPU, then you can use RS232 and are not
required to use a termination resistor (i.e. switch position 6 is turned OFF).
If a panel will be located more than 50 feet from the CPU or you want to use multiple panels,
you must use RS422. For single panel installations, this means that switch 6 must be
enabled (ON). For multi-drop installations, this means the last panel only must have switch
6 enabled (ON). All other panels must have switch 6 disabled (OFF). A more detailed
description of multiple panel installations is given in the OP-9001-M User Manual.

Installing the Panel

Using the OP-9001 to Connect Multiple Panels
The addition of the OP-9001 Communications Master panel will allow the connection of up to
31 OptiMate panels from one useable CPU port of the PLC. Shown below are the connection
requirements. For specifics of the OP-9001 panel itself, refer to the Communications Master
User Manual (OP-9001--M).
NOTE: The OP-9001 must be used in a multiple panel configuration.
Ribbon cable with DB15 male connectors attached.
Panels can be connected directly to the OP-9001 ports
or be daisy-chained to other OP-panels.

recommended.
