Installation

Chapter Objectives

In this chapter you will learn how to:
S Mount the communications module
S Configure the communications module
S Connect power
S Connect SCANport and serial communications cables

Read this chapter completely before you attempt to install or configure
your communications module. Double check all connections and option
selections before you apply power.

Important: Switch selections take effect only on power-up. If you change
selections after power is applied, cycle the power to use the new settings.

Setting Module

This publication describes switches as being either on or off. If the switch

Configuration Switches

assembly has the word OPEN printed on it, the word OPEN corresponds to
OFF (0).

In all cases, each serial device must have a unique address the target
processor can recognize.

ATTENTION: When you change the switch settings, use a blunt,
pointed instrument such as a ball point pen. Do not use a pencil
because the lead (graphite) of the pencil may damage the switch
assembly.

ATTENTION: Failure to check connections and switch settings
for compatibility with your application when configuring the
communications module could result in personal injury and/or
equipment damage due to unintended or undesirable operation.

ATTENTION: When you configure the system for the first time,
disconnect the motor from the machine or process during initial
testing.
