No other connections are required for the handheld portion of the device.
Advantage 900 Relay Board
The Advantage 900 Relay Board provides a convenient way to interface a latching power-on
circuit for machines, includes various hooks for interfacing Emergency Stop circuitry, and also
serves to accommodate the transceiver hardware when the optional Bluetooth hardware is
present.
The Advantage 900 Relay Board requires a 24VDC always-on circuit if the latching power-on
features are to be utilized. This 24VDC power-supply is intended to be always on unless the
machine is disconnected from the main power disconnect. The current requirements of the
24VDC power supply depend on the user’s circuit design.
The following is a description of the connections when using the Advantage 900 Relay Board.
See the Connector Description section for complete details of these connectors.
J4 – PC Power Connector
J4 connects to a standard PC floppy drive power connector. The +12VDC controls the state of the
PC-Power relay for both versions. The +5VDC is used by the Bluetooth circuitry in the wireless
version.
J5 – Wireless Antennae Connector (Wireless Version Only)
J5 connects to the antennae for the wireless Bluetooth version only.
J7 – RS-232 Port (Wireless Version Only)
J7 connects to an RS-232 port on the PC. This is only required for wireless Bluetooth versions
only.
J8 – Machine Power On Button
J8 connects to a momentary switch which controls the latching power-on circuitry built into the
Advantage 900 Relay board. This is connected to the green power button on the front of the
Advantage 900 console units when complete systems are purchased.
J9 – Estop Switch
J9 usually connects to the Emergency Stop switch located on the front of Advantage 900 console
units. Pins 1-2 are part of the Estop Loop and must be connected to complete the circuit between
pins 5-6 on terminal block J13. Pins 3-4 are part of the Estop Status Loop and must be connected
to complete the circuit between pins 7-8 on terminal block J13.
See the wiring diagrams in Appendix B for example of how these circuits can be used.
J13 – Machine Interface Terminal Block 1
Pins 1-2: Latching Power-On circuit actuated via a momentary contact switch attached to
connector J8 (the Green button on Advantage 900 Console units). Once this circuit is energized it
latches the relay contacts through pins 3-4 of the same connector.
Pins 3-4: Power-On relay contacts. Use this circuit to enable or turn on anything you wish after
the power-on latch is activated. Usually this is used to turn on a larger magnetic contactor inside
the main electrical cabinet. Through this circuit you can control the entire machine power on/off
