Preface
Preface
Thank you for purchasing the Comat BoxX series intelligent controller from our company.
Whilst you may have a good knowledge and understanding of these products you are re-quested to
take some time to read this manual before operation. This will allow you to utilise the more
advantageous benefits of the product.
The Comat BoxX series intelligent controller uses function blocks for programming and a liquid
crystal display is provided for manual programming.
In the past the control function of a PLC required large sections of program and instruction sets
whereas the Comat BoxX series uses function blocks. When several function blocks are linked
together in a specific way then relatively complicated control functions can be implemented so that the
programming can be simplified.
The Comat BoxX series intelligent controller can be used very extensively for automation of
mechanical equipment, flow control, building management systems and many other fields.
This manual will describe in detail the functional characteristics and operating method of the Comat
BoxX series controller.

2.1 Installation
2.1.1 Installation method
Due to the compact size the device it is suitable for fitting inside machines and installation is quite
simple:
1. Use a standard DIN rail for installation of Comat BoxX as shown in Fig. 2.1.
2. Use the screw holes on Comat BoxX for installation onto a flat surface.
Fig. 2.1
Use standard DIN rail for installation
The LCD board of Comat BoxX is removable. Gently lever open with a screwdriver and the LCD can
easily be unplugged.
Fig. 2.2
Remove LCD board correctly
Caution:
Do not remove the LCD board with power on, otherwise the device will be damaged or endanger
personal safety.
2.1.2 Dimensions
Note:
Min. tension for AF-10 = 10.0V
Min. tension for AF-20 = 10.5V
3. Connection of power supply according for AC types Fig. 2.5 and DC types Fig. 2.6
Note:
1. AF-10MR-D, AF-10MT-GD, AF-20MR-D and AF-20MT-GD can all receive analogue inputs
through all input interfaces (I1-I6 or I1-I12). They are automatically set to analogue or digital
input. An analogue signal is recognised when the input terminal is connected to the AN function
block. It is important to set analogue inputs first when using SCADA software.
2. The analogue input requires 0V ~ +10V voltage signals and is divided equally in 0.1V increment
steps. When programming, all the block parameters related to analogue are based on the minimum
precision of class 1.
3. All inputs over 10.0V are recognised as digital inputs.
4. Digital inputs: Change of status from „0“ to „1“ : Triggering time min. 50ms
Change of status from „1“ to „0“ : Triggering time min. 50ms
Note:
Output Q must be on the same potential as input I.

Chapter IV
There are two methods of programming the Comat BoxX, one is to complete editing of the function
diagram directly by the LCD board using the keys, whilst the other is to do the same on the computer
using the programming software Quick II . Programming for Comat BoxX can be completed with
either of the two methods.
As shown in the following figure, the operation LCD board is a simple man-machine interface and the
program editing operation will be completed through the 8 keys on the right: ; ; ; ; ;
; ; .
The following rules shall be observed for programming operation on this panel:
1. When the cursor appears as an under line („ _ ”), it may be moved:
Move the cursor along the lines with ; ; and keys;
Press key to confirm selection of the input/output connection or the function block;
Press key to exit the programming input.
2. When the cursor appears as „>“, the input/output or function block may be selected:
Select the input/output or function block with and keys;
Press key to confirm the selection;
Press key to return to the previous step.
