For data transfer between IT-2000 and PC, refer to the IT-2000 Upload/Download Utility Manual.

The great advantage of this system lies in its wide range of system configurations which can allow

the combined connection of PC and two different kinds of I/O Boxes (Master I/O Box and Satellite

I/O Box).

(1) The I/O Box is available in two types: the Master I/O Box and the Satellite I/O Box.

(2) The Master I/O Box can only be connected to a PC via SCSI interface.

Each Master I/O Box (seven Boxes max. in one system) connected to a PC can have maximum

of seven Satellite I/O Boxes connected under daisy-chain.

(3) The following connection can be made with the Satellite I/O Box.



Direct connection with PC via the RS-232C interface.



The Satellite I/O Box connected directly to the PC can have a maximum of seven Satellite

I/O Boxes connected under daisy-chain.



2.3.1 Setup of Satellite I/O Box

The following paragraphs explain how to set up the Satellite I/O Box and Master I/O Box to be

connected to the PC.

Note that the DIP switch settings of the Satellite I/O Box differ depending on the connection with

single Satellite I/O Box or multiple Satellite I/O Boxes.

With single Satellite I/O Box



Make sure that the POWER switch of the I/O Box is set to OFF. Set the DIP switch at the rear

of the unit as follows:

12345678910

ON OFF OFF OFF ON OFF ON ON ON ON



Set the DIP switches nos. 1 to 5, 9, and 10 as shown above.



DIP switches nos 6, 7, and 8 are used to define the RS-232C baud rate of the I/O Box. It must

be consistent with the baud rate being set on the PC for RS-232C communication.



The above DIP setup example assumes that the RS-232C baud rate is 115200 bps. If modifying

this setup, use the following table as a reference.

Baud Rate 6 7 8

2400 bps OFF OFF OFF

4800 bps ON OFF OFF

9600 bps OFF ON OFF

19200 bps ON ON OFF

38400 bps OFF OFF ON

57600 bps ON OFF ON

115200 bps OFF ON ON



Connect the I/O Box and the PC with a cross-type RS-232C cable.

With Multiple Satellite I/O Boxes

Note that the DIP switch settings of the Satellite I/O Box differ depending on the connection,

ex. Satellite I/O Box directly connected to the PC or Satellite I/O Box connected with other Satellite

I/O Boxes under daisy-chain.



Make sure that the POWER switch of the I/O Box is set to OFF. Set the DIP switch of the

first I/O Box to be connected to the PC directly as follows.

12345678910

ON OFF OFF OFF OFF OFF ON ON ON ON



Set the DIP switch of other I/O Boxes to be connected under daisy-chain as follows.

12345678910

ON OFF OFF OFF ON OFF ON ON ON ON



Set DIP switch no. 5 of the last I/O Box to ON if the C-OUT terminal does not connect another

I/O Box (This is for the termination).



The above setup example assumes that the RS-232C baud rate is 115200 bps. If modifying this

setup, refer to the “With Single Satellite I/O Box” in the previous page.



Connect the first I/O Box and the PC with a cross-type RS-232C cable.

Then connect the C-OUT terminal of the I/O Box connected to the PC to the C-IN terminal of

the other I/O Box via the RS-422 cable. Connect the rest of I/O Boxes so that the one with the

terminator setting is the last under daisy-chain.
