Programming
Overview
This chapter provides a basic understanding of the programming/configuration
tools available to modify the SMC-50 control module’s parameters. Unlike
previous SMC products (for example, SMC-3 and SMC Flex), the SMC -50
control module does not contain a built-in programming tool. This lets you
select from several programming tools to best suit your application.
Human Interface Module
(HIM) (Cat. No. 20-HIM-A6
or 20-HIM-C6S)
The 20-HIM-A6 lets you:
• configure/monitor all controller parameters,
• configure/monitor all option modules (for example, 150-SM4,
digital I/O, etc.), and
• use the SMC-50 module’s general startup configuration wizard.
The 20-HIM-A6 is typically inserted into the HIM bezel port located on the
upper right of the control module. Inserting the HIM into the bezel provides
operation in a NEMA Type 1 environment. The 20-HIM-C6S, a remote (door-
mount) version of the 20-HIM-A6, provides operation in a NEMA 4X/12
environment and includes a 1202-C30 interface cable to the SMC-50 control
module DPI Port 2 on the top of the module. For additional information on
mounting the 20-HIM-A6 or the 20-HIM-C6S, see the HIM user manual,
publication 20HIM-UM001
.
TIP The 20-HIM-A3 cannot configure the option modules or use the general
startup configuration wizard. Therefore, the 20-HIM-A3 is not
recommended for use with the SMC-50 controller and is not mentioned in
this document.
