The Units have a built-in System Menu, which lets the user view and adjust system settings.
- For touchscreen units system key can be found by touching top right hand corner of screen and then pressing the sys key
- For the X2 simaltaneously pressing the up and down arrow will bring up the system menu
- %sr3 being set to 1 will also bring up the system menu
- use the ↓ and ↑ (Up Arrow or Down Arrow) keys to select a Main Menu item and press Enter (Return Arrow) to display the item’s Sub-Menu
Set Networks
This sub menu allows setting for the CAN and Ethernet network to be viewed or changed.
CAN Ok? | Yes= CAN1 connected to a CAN network and functioning properly
No= Not ready to communicate on CAN network |
CAN ID/Network ID | 1 to 253 = This node’s CsCAN Network ID; must be unique on network |
CAN Baud | 125 KB = 125 KBaud CAN network 250 KB = 250 KBaud CAN network 500 KB = 500 KBaud CAN network 1 MB = 1 MBaud CAN network |
MAC ID | Displays the Ethernet MAC ID of the unit |
IP Displays | the Ethernet IP address of the unit |
NetM | Displays the Ethernet net mask of the unit |
GatWy | Displays the Ethernet gateway of the unit |
CAN termination (X2,X4) | Yes = 121Ω termination is internally placed between CAN_H and CAN_L terminals
No = No termination present |
Network Ok? | Yes = connected to a network and functioning properly
No = Not ready to communicate on the network |
NOTE: The IP address, Net Mask and Gateway can be changed from the system menu. This is designed for commissioning or temporary field changes. The actual parameters are defined in Cscape under the Ethernet configuration and are reverted to whenever the unit goes from idle to run mode.

The View Status Sub-Menu displays up to 19 System Settings. Only the OCS Mode System Setting is editable.
View Diags
- First 2 system diagnostics are critical if either of them indicate a fault the OCS will not enter or remain in Run mode, problem should be investigated and corrected.
Logic Error: | Ok = All executed ladder instructions are legal for loaded firmware
Fault = A ladder instruction not supported by firmware was found |
User Program: | Ok = Ladder program and I/O configuration loaded successfully
Fault = Ladder program or I/O configuration not loaded or load failed |
- Last 9 system diagnostics are informational, if a warning indicated unit can still enter run mode and remain there but problem should be investigated and corrected
User Graphics | Ok = Application graphics objects loaded successfully
Fault = Application graphics objects not loaded or load failed |
W-Dog Trips | 0 = Watchdog timer has not tripped since the last power-up
x = Number of times watchdog timer has tripped |
Net Errors | 0 = No CAN network bus-off errors have occurred
x = Number of CAN network bus-off errors that have occurred |
Network State | Ok = At least one other node was found on the CAN network
Warning = No other nodes were found on the CAN network |
Network ID | Ok = This node’s CAN Network ID is in the range 1 to 253
Warning = This node’s CAN Network ID was out of range at power-up |
Dup Net ID | Ok = This node’s Network ID is unique on the CAN network
Warning = This node’s Network ID is duplicated in another node |
Clock Error | Ok = Time and date have been set
Warning = Time and date need to be set |
I/O System | Ok = I/O configuration matches the installed I/O and COM modules
Warning = I/O configuration needs updating to match installed modules |
Battery | Ok = Backup battery operating properly
Warning = Backup battery needs to be replaced |
View Protocols
- View protocols sub-menu is not editable
- To assign a downloadable protocol to an X4 serial port, select the Protocol Config item in Cscape’s Program menu and then setup a protocol for Port 1 or Port 2 (or both).
- In the View Protocols Sub-Menu, the currently downloaded protocol, if any, and its version number are displayed for both Port 1 and Port 2.
Set Fkeys
Fkeys: | Momentary = %K1-4 bits go On & Off as F1-F10 are pressed & released
Toggle= %K1-10 bits toggle each time F1-F4 are pressed |
SYS_Fn enable: | Yes = Reset and all clear system functions enabled
No = Reset and all clear system functions disabled |
Set Serial Ports
- For the Dflt Pgm Port System setting, only MJ1-232 can be selected, unless a Modem (XMC) COM module is installed.
Set time\date
NOTE: Not all controllers contain real-time clocks
Controller Time Zone (UTC time): From Cscape 9.70 SP2 and FW 14.22 onwards, UTC time is supported
- The timezone setting is an hourly offset from UTC time. Set timezone first then local time. UTC time will automatically set based on timezone and local time settings.
- NTP utilizes UTC time so when using NTP appropriate hourly offset from UTC must be entered into time zone setting.
- If observing daylight saving set to Yes, otherwise set to No. OCS does not automatically switch to daylight saving however can be done in program. Setting register %SR211 to 1 sets daylight saving. Trigger the move to %SR211 based on a compare function to the RTC date
- To Set Local Time: The Set Time/Date sub-menu displays three system settings. Time and Date may be edited, and Day is automatically calculated from the Date
- NOTE: Time and Date are split into three fields each, all of which may be edited. Touch the field or use ¯ or buttons to select a field, then use the ¯ or buttons to edit the field.
Time | 16:09:49= Current time (hours:minutes:seconds in 24-hour format) |
Date | 10-Jun-2013 = Current date (day-month-year) |
Day | Monday = Current day of week calculated from the Date setting |
Set Beeper
Beeper Enable | Yes (default) = Enables beeper
No = Disables beeper (does NOT affect ladder access) |
Set Screen
Saver enable | Yes = Enable screen saver
No (default) = Disable screen saver |
Timeout (min) | 5 – 1200 = Amount of time in minutes to expire with NO touch activity before activating screen saver (black screen) |
Popup Status | Off (default) = Disable popup status
Warning = Display popup status only if controller status changes to NOT Ok or NOT Run mode. On = Display popup status on any controller status change. |
Update Time (mS) | 2 – 50 = Maximum amount of time to allow for graphics update per scan |
Removable Media
If a directory name is highlighted, pressing Enter will switch to that directory showing its files and subdirectories. In a sub-directory, highlighting .. (dot dot) and pressing Enter will move up one directory.
Fail-Safe System
Enable Auto Run
“Enable AutoRun” displays the following options which can be selected:
Enable AutoRun | No = OCS will be in IDLE mode after AutoLoad or Automatic Restore.
Yes = OCS will automatically be placed into RUN mode after AutoLoad or Automatic Restore. |
Enable AutoLoad | No = Does not load AUTOLOAD.PGM automatically when application program is absent or corrupted.
