Rockwell Automation 1747-KFC15 SLC500 CONTROLNET RS-232 USER MANUAL - Manual (Page 26)

3-2 Installing the KFC15 Module
1747-5.34 - June 1998
Electrostatic Damage
Overview of the Installation Procedure
1. Configure the communications parameters by setting the rotary and DIP
switches on the KFC15 as detailed in Chapter 2, Configuring the KFC15
Module. Remember that the RS-232 serial communication parameters
must be the same between the KFC15 and the SLC500. Refer to Chapter
4 for more information.
2. Make sure that the ControlNet cable system can accommodate
additional nodes (one per KFC15 module being installed).
3. Remove power from your SLC500 chassis.
4. Install the KFC15 module into an empty I/O slot. The 1747-KFC15
module must be placed near the SLC processor. In a large chassis, any
empty slot will not work.
5. Connect the KFC15 to the ControlNet network using taps.
ATTENTION: Electrostatic discharge can damage
semiconductor devices inside the KFC15 module. To
guard against electrostatic damage wear an approved
wrist strap grounding device, or touch a grounded object
to rid yourself of electrostatic charge before handling the
products.
