The GracePortâ„¢ DSX R53, R54, & R55 Series Crossover Switches are a family of programming interfaces for PanelView/AB Serial PLC’s(1.) Systems.  These products are sold as complete kits which include:
--Qty (2) Interface Cables
   (PLC to DSX, & PanelView to DSX)
--Programming Cable
--Pre-configure DSX PCB with
 “Pinout Stations” to for 100%
   flexibility
--GracePort DSX Assembly
  with 120 VAC Outlet

The DSX is “non-electronic” and requires no software or special communications “box”.  The generic version of this product is available as an “R49”.

Installation Instructions:
1.) Install the DSX Interface on the outside of the enclosure.
2.) Install the appropriate cables from the PanelView and PLC to the DSX.
3.) For programming, depress the “RUN/PROGRAM” maintained switch, which disconnects the “RUN” connections to allow for programming.  In most applications, use  a standard serial extension cable from the port on the front of the GracePort® .
4.) Once programming is completed, REMOVE THE PROGRAMMING CABLES, depress the move the maintained switch on the front of the GracePort® .  to the extended “ RUN” position. NOTE: Remove programming cables when switching to/from RUN Mode
(1) Applicable Devices:  This product is designed for use with PanelView 300-1400 and 300 Micro, Most Allen-Bradley serial PLC's: SLC 5/03, 5/04, 5/05 (Channel 0); ControlLogix (Channel 0); MicroLogix 1000, 1200, 1500LSP (8MDIN Channel); MicroLogix 1500LRP (Channel 0); CompactLogix (Channel 0); FlexLogix (Channel 0)
Designed to offer a convenient "through-the-door" programming interface for MicroLogix/PanelView Systems.  In most cases, the serial ports on these devices are used for programming and runtime communication. Without the DSX, programming involves: opening the panel door, unplugging the RUN cable, then plugging in the programming cable. The GracePort® DSX Crossover Switch in installed between both devices and allows the user to program either the MicroLogix (Device#1) or the PanelView (Device#2) from outside the control panel.  When programming is completed, the user returns the interface to "RUN" mode.

How it works?
Program mode: The DSX disconnects the “RUN” connection (all 9 pins) between both devices.  This makes both the DEVICE#1 and the DEVICE#2 programming ports fully accessible to the user from the on the outside of the panel.

Run Mode: The “RUN” connection is restored, thereby allowing both devices to communicate.
