About the 45C950
The 45C950 unit is a standard programmer module that was produced by Reliance Electric for the Shark XL brand. The Shark XL series is now considered a legacy series and therefore none of the products in the Shark XL series are being produced at this time, including the 45C957 standard programmer module. Despite that, you will most likely be able to find the 45C957 standard programmer module, along with many other devices in the Shark XL line, in AX Control’s stock.
The 45C957 standard programmer module was made so that it could enter application programs into the memory. Additionally, the 45C957 standard programmer module can enter application programs onto a cassette tape by way of connecting a cassette tape recorder to the “MIC” and “EAR” terminals.
At the top of the faceplate, there are three different groups of LEDs. On the left side, there are the code LEDs. In the middle, there is the LED display. On the right side, there are the status LEDs. Below these three different kinds of LEDs, there are numerous keys, terminals, and switches. On the left side, there are the two aforementioned cassette tape recorder terminals, labeled “MIC” and “EAR.” In the middle, you will find the command, numeric, and operational keys on the keypad. On the right side, there is the mode selector switch, which has three labeled positions: “PROG,” “TEST,” and “RUN.”
For installation, be sure to attach the 45C957 standard programmer module to the processors’ faceplate connector using a five inch, sixteen pin ribbon cable. There is, however, an expansion cable available that is five feet in length, with the model number 45C939, and a mounting bracket, with the model number 45C936.
