1 Overview
The SCADAPack 32 comprises of a 5232 controller board and an optional integrated I/O module.
As the most powerful model in the series using 32 bit processing, the SCADAPack 32 offers high
performance, built-in Ethernet and a wide range of analog and digital I/O options. The product
offers Modbus RTU and Modbus ASCII as native protocols and is remotely programmable, as a
master slave, through a choice of flexible programming languages. As with all SCADAPack
products, the SCADAPack 32 is based on a multiprocessor architecture with a co-processor used for
handling on-board input/output channels.
The 5232 controller board provides an integrated power supply, three digital/counter inputs, an
interrupt input and a status output. The 10-BaseT Ethernet port and three serial communication ports
enable connection to a large variety of communication networks. Two of the serial ports support RS-
232 communication only and a third port is configurable for RS-232 or RS-485 communication. The
RS-232 serial ports support RTS/CTS hardware handshaking for connection to phone or radio
modems and half or full-duplex communication. The serial ports operate at speeds from 300 to
38400 baud.
The 5232 onboard memory comprises of 8 MB SDRAM, 4MB flash ROM, and 1MB CMOS
SRAM. The CMOS SRAM is non-volatile (battery backed.). A real time clock calendar provides for
time of day operations and alarms. A hardware watchdog timer protects against application program
failures.
Low power applications can benefit from the SCADAPack 32 ability to enable and disable status
LED’s on all modules connected to the 5000 Series I/O bus including the controller board and the
integrated I/O module.
The 5232 controller board can be found in either of the following configurations:
• SCADAPack P4: 5232 controller board with an integrated 5601/A I/O Module. Refer to the
5601 I/O module user manual for additional information.
• SCADAPack P4A: 5232 controller board with an integrated 5604 I/O module. Refer to the
5604 I/O module user manual for additional information.
• SCADAPack P4B: 5232 Controller board with an integrated 5606 I/O module. Refer to the
5606 I/O module user manual for additional information.
• SCADAPack 32P comprises of the 5232 controller board only.
This manual covers wiring, configuration and operation of the 5232 controller board. It meant to be
used in conjunction with the hardware manual of the respective I/O module that comes with your
controller.
