Rockwell Automation 1747-KE,D17476.12 DH-485/RS-232C Interface Module - Manual (Page 25)

Publication 1747-UM005B-EN-P - March 2006
Quick Start 2-3
Configure the Module
Configure the module by either connecting to an ASCII terminal or
communicating through the backplane.
For more information, see Chapter 5 (Module Configuration Using an
ASCII Terminal) and Chapter 6 (Module Configuration Using the
Backplane).
Start-up the Module
Power up your system by performing standard start-up procedures as
indicated in your processor manual. No special start-up procedures
are required when using the module.
Before applying power to the module, make sure:
• the module is installed in the SLC chassis.
• all communication devices are connected.
• your SLC processor is configured to operate with the interface
module.
Refer to Chapter 4 for more information.
• your interface module is configured properly.
Refer to Chapters 5 and 6 for more information.
When power is applied to the SLC system, the SLC processor and
module run through a power cycle diagnostic sequence. After the
diagnostics are successfully completed, the SLC processor enters Run
mode and normal operation begins.
ATTENTION
This module is a device used for communications.
Improper configuration or module failure may cause
communications to stop. Be careful to avoid system
designs that would cause potential safety concerns
within the system in the event of a communications
failure.
