CHAPTER 10: GENERAL I/O
Note: Each XL6/XL6e OCS unit is sent with a datasheet in the box. The datasheet is the first document
you need to refer to for model-specific information related to XL6/XL6e OCS models such as pin-
outs, jumper settings, and other key installation information. Visit our website to obtain datasheets,
user documentation, and updates.
10.1 Overview
The XL6/XL6e OCS is a compact unit that contains high density, very versatile I/O. Using the I/O
properly requires wiring to the proper terminals, configuring jumpers inside the XL6/XL6e OCS unit and
configuring Cscape properly. This section will offer some tips and suggestions to configure the I/O
properly. For the register mapping of the I/O, refer to the
Index at the end of this manual for the pages
referencing register mapping.
10.2 Removing the XL6/XL6e OCS I/O Cover
Some I/O configurations require jumper settings to be changed inside the XL6/XL6e OCS unit. Examples
of these settings are setting positive or negative logic on digital inputs or setting current or voltage on
analog inputs.
Each XL6/XL6e OCS I/O jumper is set to a factory default. Refer to the data sheet for your XL6/XL6e
OCS model to find the default setting to determine if a jumper change is necessary for your application.
To remove the I/O cover of the XL6/XL6e OCS, remove the four (4) Phillips screws from the I/O back. It
may help to place the XL6/XL6e OCS unit face down on a clean work surface. Once the four screws are
removed the I/O cover can be lifted straight off.

Warning: Power, including I/O power must be removed from the unit prior to removing the
back cover. Failure to do so could result in electrocution and/or damage to equipment.
