R45C Discrete to Serial Converter

Datasheet

• Compact configurable discrete I/O to PICK-IQ converter

• Rugged over-molded design meets IP65, IP67, and IP68
• Connects directly to a sensor or anywhere in-line for ease of use

Overview
The R45C-B22-SQ is an easy-to-use converter that allows addition of a discrete I/O device to a PICK-IQ network. This converter can be placed
anywhere in the PICK-IQ network. Both I/O points on the discrete connection can be configured as inputs or outputs.

Communications
These devices are powered by PICK-IQ®, a purpose-built, Modbus RTU compatible serial bus protocol that uses a Common ID to reduce the typical
latency that results from polling multiple devices.
The standard Modbus protocol structure does not offer the performance required to operate medium to large sized pick-to-light systems with low
latency response times. Adding more devices to a pick-to-light system running standard Modbus protocol eventually makes a pick-to-light system
unusable because of the request/response nature of the protocol. The communication latency to and from the master device is too slow.
Using PICK-IQ adds a simple change to the devices that allow the Modbus master controller to run standard Modbus protocol, but achieve the
performance required by a medium to large sized pick-to-light system. This change is the addition of a common ID addressing scheme.

PICK-IQ Configuration
For more information on the PICK-IQ network functionality, see Banner P/N 206185 PICK-IQ Devices Instruction Manual.

I/O Register Block

3000 Input 1 Status 0 = Inactive Returns the status of an input on Channel 1
1 = Active

3001 Input 2 Status 0 = Inactive Returns the status of an input on Channel 2

1 = Active

3002 Output 1 Enable 0 = Disabled Activates the output on Channel 1 1

1 = Enabled

3003 Output 2 Enable 0 = Disabled Activates the output on Channel 2 1

1 = Enabled

Input Settings Register Block

3430 Input 1 Enable 0 = Disabled Monitors Channel 1 or input signals
1 = Enabled

3431 Input 1 Polarity 0 = NPN Defines the input signal type on Channel 1
1 = PNP

3432 Input 2 Enable 0 = Disabled Monitors Channel 2 or input signals

1 = Enabled

3433 Input 2 Polarity 0 = NPN Defines the input signal type on Channel 2
1 = PNP

Output Settings Register Block

3440 Output 1 Push/Pull Enable 0 = Disabled Enables a push/pull circuit, stabilizing Output 1 2
1 = Enabled

3441 Output 1 Polarity 0 = NPN Defines the output signal type on Channel 1
1 = PNP

3442 Output 2 Push/Pull Enable 0 = Disabled Enables a push/pull circuit, stabilizing Output 2 2
1 = Enabled

3443 Output 2 Polarity 0 = NPN Defines the output signal type on Channel 2
1 = PNP

Note: Alternative Modbus interface is not available for this device.

1 When enabling an output, it is important to disable the input on the corresponding channel. This prevents the output from triggering the common ID.
2 Push/pull should only be enabled when using the output on the corresponding channel. Otherwise, if used while an input is enabled and in use, it is possible to lock the value of
the input signal.
