Designed to offer a convenient "through-the-door" programming interface for “Serial-to-Serial” device systems such as a PLC/Operator Interface.  These systems use a single serial port for programming and runtime communication. Programming involves: opening the panel door, unplugging the RUN cable, then plugging in the PROGRAMMING cable. The GracePort® DSX Crossover Switch is installed between both devices and allows the user to program DEVICE#1 or DEVICE#2 from outside the control panel.  When programming is completed, the user returns the interface to "RUN" mode.  

The GracePort® DSX has built in flexibility to separately configure the “RUN” pinouts and the “PROGRAMMING” port pinouts in six different places  figure 1):
  Primary “RUN” Pinout Station
  Secondary “RUN” Pinout Station
  “DEVICE#1 PROGRAMMING PORT” Pinout Station
  “DEVICE#2 PROGRAMMING PORT” Pinout Station
  Configuration of “DEVICE#1” Run/Programming Cable
  Configuration of “DEVICE#2” Run/Programming Cable

The GracePort® DSX comes configured pin-to-pin (1-1, 2-2...9-9).

Configuration Modes:

MODE A: “Pin-to-Pin Extension Cables” to connect DEVICE#1 and DEVICE#2 to GracePort®  
1.) Use D”x”-TB1/TB2 to pin-out the RunProgramming Cable(s)
2.) Use RUN”x”-TB1/TB2 to pin-out the RUN Connection


MODE B: “Programming Cables” to connect DEVICE#1 to DEVICE#2
1.) The programming cables need to use the same pins (or more) as the run-time cable. Otherwise use Mode A. Terminals D”x”-TB1/TB2 are pin-to-pin.

2.)  Use RUN”x”-TB1/TB2 to convert the programming cable pin-outs for DEVICE#1 and  DEVICE#2 to an equivalent RUN pin-out connection.  Use Pinout Worksheet on the back to assist in proper pinouts.

1.) Enter actual programming port pin-outs for DEVICE #1 and DEVICE#2
2.) Enter Run-Time pinouts into worksheet area C.  
3.) Configure “Effective” Run-time pinout on RUN1 or RUN2 terminal block sets.  The pinout from A to B should match C.
4.) If necessary, convert Run-Time/Programming cables to  to DB9 or utilize D1-TB1 or D2-TB1 to hard wire this connection
     with flying leads.
