JC-2302 Lighting Controller communication driver

JC-2302 Lighting Controller Communication Driver is the driver to communicate with JC-2302 or JC-2303  of JoongAng Control CO., LTD. in Korea.

1. Read settings

<Figure 1> is read setting example of JC-2302 Lighting Controller communication driver .

<Figure 1>  Read setting example of JC-2302 Lighting Controller communication driver

Device Setting of <Figure 1> are input, Com Port(COM6), Com Speed(19200), Parity Bit(0), Data Bit(8), Stop Bit(1).

Also, you can set controller model(0 = 2302, 1 = 2303, default : 0) by usng 'Option' part.

JC-2302 Lighting Controller communication driver read schedule

Read schedule setting parameters are as follows:

1) STATION – Desdination Address = 1 ~ 250.

2) Read Command – Command = RELAY, DIM, GROUP, PATTERN, SCENE, EVENT, POWER, SMART, VOLT, CURR, ENERGY. (Refer to <Table 1>)

3) Read Start Address – don't care.

4) Save Start Address for Communication Server – saveing start address of Communication Server.

5) Read Size – read size = 1.

Read schedule example)

READ, 1, RELAY, 0, 0, 1,
READ, 1, GROUP, 0, 50, 1,

<Table 1> is a description of read commands type and stored values of JC-2302 Lighting Controller communication driver.

If you click the icon  in protocol option part, you can see the dialogue box such as <Figure 2>. you can also set read schedule by using this part. 

<Figure 2> Example of JC-2302 Lighting Controller Communication Driver’s Option dialogue box

You can set read schedule by using , ,  button and listbox of <Figure 2>.

Also, you can set controller model the part of 'Controller Model' of <Figure 2>.

When you click Add button or Edit button in dialogue box of <Figure 2>, dialogue box of <Figure 3> is shown.

2. Write settings

You can control the Relay, Group, etc values of JC-2302 by using write commands.

Bit write 

Bit write setting parameters are as follows:

1) PORT : Port no. (0 ~ 255)

2) STATION : Desdination Address = 1 ~ 250.

3) ADDRESS : Address of Relay, Group, Pattern, Pattern, etc. (10 digit). range = 0 ~ 255 or 0 ~ 512(for JC-2303 RELAY command).  (refer to <Table 2>)

4) EXTRA 1 : Write Command = RELAY, DIM, GROUP, PATTERN, SCENE, EVENT, POWER, SMART.

5) EXTRA 2 : don't care.

Write example 1)

PORT:0,  station:1, ADDRESS:0000, Extra1:RELAY, Extra : 0

The setting parameter shown above is an example of bit write for control(ON/OFF) R1 Relay of JC-2302 Controller connected with 0 port, set to 1 Destination Address.

Write example 2)

PORT:0,  station:1, ADDRESS:0005, Extra1:RELAY, Extra : 0

The setting parameter shown above is an example of bit write for control(ON/OFF) R6 Relay of JC-2302 Controller connected with 0 port, set to 1 Destination Address.

Write example 3)

PORT:0,  station:1, ADDRESS:0014, Extra1:GROUP, Extra : 0

The setting parameter shown above is an example of bit write for control(ON/OFF) G15 Group Relay of JC-2302 Controller connected with 0 port, set to 1 Destination Address.

<Table 2> is a description of write commands and range of the write value for JC-2302 Lighting Controller communication driver.

Word Write

Word write and bit write have the same setting parameters except output value.

Block Write

Block write use PlcScanWriteBlock script such as follows.

script function and parameters : @PlcScanWriteBlock(int port, int station, int address, string extra1, string extra2, object array_value, int array_size);

    Example of script 1 ( MOTION block write )

ushort  Val[64];

Val[0] = 255;
Val[1] = 0;
Val[2] = 0;
Val[3] = 0;
Val[4] = 255;
Val[5] = 255;
Val[6] = 255;
Val[7] = 0;
Val[8] = 255;

Val[9] = 255;

...
@PlcScanWriteBlock(0, 0, 0, "MOTION", 0, Val, 64); 

3. Communication cable connection of JC-2302 Lighting Controller

You have to connect serial communication cable in the following ways.

Connection of RS-485 communication cable

You can connect RS-485 communication cable to terminal '+MAIN-' ( left = +, right = - ) of JC-2302 Controlleror and PC Respectively.
