4.1
RS-232 PORT
This port (located next to the power outlet) is a fully
programmable, bi-directional, and full duplex port
that has the ability to operate at any baud rate up
to 9600. The general standard on transmission is 8
bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit. The factory default
for communication through this port is 2400 baud.
Several standard baud-rates are available through
programming: 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, and
9600 baud. The following table shows the pin-out
configuration of RS-232 ports on the CP7317RS.

Subsequently, Port 2,3, and 4 can be treated as a
single port with 8 relays or as three independent
ports. Port 2 can be treated as a single port with 4
relays and Port 3 and 4 with 2 relays each.
4.2
RELAY CONTACTS
The CP7317RS has 4 ports with relay contacts.
Port 1 has two groups of 4 relays. The relays are
single-pole, single-throw (SPST) type and can be
set to default to either a normally open or normally
closed condition. Each relay of port 1 can be
individually turned “ON” or “OFF”. Figure 1 shows
port 1 configuration.
In addition to relay contacts the CP7317RS
Controller has “+5” voltage available on ports 3 and
“GND”(ground) available on port 4. The
(+5) volts output is designed to drive external
circuitry and has 280mA maximum current output.
The graph below shows the maximum of allowable
current from +5V pin and through digital I/O pins as
a function of the number of relays turned ON at any
given time.
The ground pin on Port 4 is true ground and is
connected to the system ground but it is not
connected to any common pins.
FIGURE 1
4.3
DIGITAL I/O PORTS
Port 2 has one group of 4 relays. The relays are
single-pole, single-throw (SPST) type and can be
set to default to either a normally open or normally
closed condition. Each relay of Port 2 can be
individually turned “ON” or “OFF”. Figure 2 shows
Port 2 configuration.
These ports are designed as general-purpose
input/output ports (see Figure 4).

Ground
There are 4 ports with 8 I/O pins and one ground
pin, #5 on each port. Each pin of each port can be
individually addressed and programmed to be high
or low. The “power ON” status of each pin is also
fully programmable. Each pin can be programmed
as an input pin or output pin. If the pin is
programmed as an output pin, it can be set to high
or low. When set to high, the I/O pin is pulled to 5
volts with a 10k resistor. When set to low, the I/O
pin can sink up to 25 mA. If the pin is programmed
as input then this pin is internally pulled up to 5
volts with a 10k resistor. In this condition external
circuitry or switch can set the input high or low. The
CP7317RS provides feedback through RS-232 port
at any time when transition on the pin of any I/O
port occurs. Transition on the pin from low to high
or from high to low will produce different feedback
codes on RS-232 port. These feedback codes are
fully programmable and can also be fully disabled.
4.6
ASCII (RS-232) COMMUNICATION
ASCII commands for controlling the CP7317RS
Controller are divided into two categories:
Programming commands and control commands.
These commands are sent or received through the
RS-232 port of the controller.
A. Programming commands are used to setup the
CP7317RS Controller. The action of these
commands is stored in a non-volatile memory
and is maintained in “POWER ON/OFF”
service.
B. Control commands are used to operate
CP7317RS Controllers in everyday use. Control
commands are lost when the unit is powered
down.

when n = 1 the pin is set as input
when n = 0 the pin is set as output.
The factory preset for the CP7317RS is that all
pins on I/O ports are set as output pins.
Example:
[SETI1, 6,1] – this would set
port 1, pin 6, to an input status.
When the pin is set as input, then an RS-232 code
is produced whenever the pin changes from high to
low or from low to high. When the pin is set as an
output, then the RS-232 command is sent through
the RS-232 port can change the specified pin to
high or low. (The RS-232 code cannot be produced
when the pin is set to the output status and the pin
set to the input status cannot be set to low with the
[SETD] command as all the pins with input status
are always high).
[SETIp,b1b6b2b7b3b8b4b9]
This sets all the pins in an I/O port to either input or
output status. It is a programming command and
needs to be issued only once during the

Memory registers:
There are 4 memories available in the CP7317RS.
Three of these memories are dedicated to the
operation of the CP7317RS and one is a general
purpose memory for user applications. Each
memory contains 256 locations each 8 bits long.
That means that each memory can store up to 256
characters or 256 bytes of information.

4.11 I/O PORT REGISTERS
These registers are used to control I/O ports
directly. Writing into these registers will affect
status of the I/0 ports immediately. Writing 0 into
each bit position will set the output of this pin to 0,
writing 1 will set output high. If I/O pin is configured
as Input pin, then writing into this bit position will
not affect output. Keep in mind that default factory
setting is that all I/O pins are inputs. Make sure to
define pins as outputs before writing into them. Use
memory registers to define pins as outputs.
