Rockwell Automation 1746-BAS-T SLC 500 Basic Basic-T Modules - Manual (Page 29)

Publication 1746-UM004B-EN-P - December 2005
Component Selection 2-3
Your module can program the 1747-M1, 1747-M2, 1771-DBMEM1, and
1771-DBMEM2 EEPROM optional memory modules. Jumper JW3 is
used to redirect the module circuitry for the different memory module
options.
Refer to Chapter 3 of this manual for additional information on jumper
JW3.
The data format of the module EEPROM optional memory module is
hexadecimal. The BASIC development software provides a hex file
transfer option that can be used to upload and download hex files to
the module EEPROM. The primary use of hex file transfers is to
transfer the data from an EEPROM in one module to an EEPROM in
another module. Refer to the BASIC Development Software
Programming Manual, publication 1747-PM001, for additional
information on hex file transfers.
Components Required for
DH485 Communication Your module and the BASIC development software can interface with
a DH485 network using a combination of the following components.
• 1747-AIC isolated link coupler
• 1747-PIC interface/converter
• 1747-KE DH485/RS-232C communication interface module
Figure 2.2 shows some of these components in typical DH485
network interfaces.
IMPORTANT
The module can program and erase EEPROM
memory modules. However, it cannot program or
erase UVPROM memory modules.
