Gemini GV6K and Gemini GT6K Programmer's Guide

RP240 Remote Operator Panel
Gem6K Series products are directly compatible with the Compumotor RP240 Remote
Operator Panel. This section describes how to use your Gem6K product with the RP240.
Instructions for connecting the RP240 are provided in the Gem6K Hardware Installation
Guide. Refer to the Model RP240 User Guide (p/n 88-012156-01) for information on RP240
hardware specifications, mounting guidelines, environmental considerations, and
troubleshooting.
Configuration
NOTE
As shipped from the factory, your Gem6K product is configured to operate an RP240 from the
RS-232 connector (referred to as the “COM 2” port). This should be appropriate for the
majority of applications requiring RP240 interface.
For more information
on controlling your
product's multiple
serial ports, refer to
page 56.
Every Gem6K Series product has two serial ports. The RS-232/485 connector is referenced as
the “COM1” serial port, and the RS-232 connector is referenced as the “COM2” serial port.
To configure the Gem6K product's serial ports for use with the RP240 and/or Gem6K language
commands, use the DRPCHK command. Be sure to select the affected serial port (COM 1 or
COM 2) with the PORT command before you execute the DRPCHK command. Once you issue
the DRPCHK command, it is automatically saved in non-volatile memory. The configuration
options are:
DRPCHKØ ..........Use the serial port for Gem6K commands only (default for COM 1)
DRPCHK1 ..........Check for RP240 on power up or reset. If detected, initialize RP240.
If no RP240, use serial port for Gem6K commands.
DRPCHK2 ..........Check for RP240 every 5-6 seconds. If detected, initialize RP240. Do not use
