Selecting the Network Link

You use Switch Assembly SW-7, a spare assembly in all Series A
modules, to select whether the KF2 treats the network link as a Data
Highway or as a PCL.

The following table shows the settings for Switch Assembly SW-7:

For This Network:

Set Switch 1: Set Switch 2:

Data Highway

OFF

OFF

Peer Communication Link

ON

OFF

Selection of RS-232-C/RS-422-A

Switch Assembly SW-8 lets you select whether the asynchronous
interface uses RS-232-C or RS-422-A standard communication.

For Communication Using Standard:

Set Switch 1: Set Switch 2:

RS-232-C

OFF

ON

RS-422-A

ON

OFF

Important: This is the only option switch that affects KF2 operation
after power-up. It changes the voltage applied to the network link
connector pins to those required for the standard selected. Set this switch
BEFORE power-up.

Replacing a 1771-KD Module with a KF2 Module

By setting the switches properly on the KF2 module, you can use it to
replace an older 1771-KD module in an existing application without
having to make any changes in your application programs.
