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 • In order to avoid an EMC influence on the configuration cable, ensure that
the configuration line does not pass directly next to strong electrical drives or
along power cables.
• In the case of devices that consist of senders and receivers, first connect the
receiver because it has to be configured first.
How to identify the connected devices:
 Connect the PC to one of the devices.
Note The SCD identifies all the devices below the level (project, communication
protocol, physical connection) that is selected in the project tree.
 From the Project menu select the Identify command.
The SCD creates a blank project, establishes the connection with the connected
devices, identifies these, and shows them as a project tree with device icons.
The program status is displayed in the log window during this time.
Once the devices have been identified, you are asked via a message dialog box
whether you would like to receive the current device configuration in the SCD.
 Click the Yes button.
The device configuration is received. You are informed of this in a dialog box.
 Click the OK button.
A dialog box is displayed that prompts you to check the identified devices.
Note Faulty cable connections can cause device constellations to be only partially
identified.
 Ensure that all devices in the project have been correctly identified.
 Compare the connected devices with the device information in the device
window of the SCD.
 Then click the OK button.
How to receive the configuration from the devices:
Note You can receive the configuration from the respective device/device cluster that
is selected in the project tree.
 Use the right mouse button to open the pop-up menu of a device or system.
 Here select the command Configuration draft, Receive.
The current configuration of all connected devices is read in and can be
subsequently edited within the SCD
