How to connect the PC to a device from Rockwell (e.g. RK512 serial):
 Connect the 9-pin Sub D plug of the connecting cable to a serial interface of your
PC.
 Remove the protective cap on the configuration socket of the device supplied by
Rockwell.
 Connect the M8 x 4 plug to the configuration socket of the device and/or the
device cluster.
Notes • Ensure that the configuration line does not pass directly next to strong
electrical drives or along power cables. This avoids an EMC influence on the
configuration cable.
• In the case of devices that consist of senders and receivers, first connect the
receiver because it has to be configured first.
How to link a project to the connected devices:
Note The SCD establishes a connection to all the connected devices below the level
(project, communication protocol, physical connection) that is selected in the
project tree.
 From the Project menu select the Connect command.
The SCD makes the connection to the connected devices and shows the
corresponding device symbols in the project tree in the active mode.
How to transfer the configuration to the devices:
Notes • You can transfer the configuration to the respective device/device cluster
that is selected in the project tree.
• You can only transfer the configuration if you are logged in at a device or
device cluster with machine maintenance personnel or authorized client rights.
 Use the right mouse button to open the pop-up menu of a device or system.
 Select the command Configuration draft, Transfer.
The configuration is transferred to the devices.
Note You are informed by a dialog box message that the configuration log is relevant
for safety.
 Click the OK button.
The configuration data are displayed as a configuration log.
 Check this log carefully and confirm that it is correct.
How to save a project:
 From the Project menu select the Save command.
The changed project data are saved.
Or, if you have not yet saved the project:
 From the Project menu select the Save command.
A Windows directory dialog box is opened.
