1784-KR Interface Card

The 1784-KR interface card does not require you to use a PC communication
channel. When using an SLC 5/04 processor with a 1784-KR Interface card you
need to use a 1747-PIC interface converter. Note that the SLC 5/04 processor only
supports DH-485 communication via channel 0 (RS-232). See the SLC 500
Modular Hardware Style Installation and Operation Manual
, Publication 1747-6.2
for connection information.

Note

Before going online with APS, make sure that your system is configured for the
1784-KR Interface Card. If it is not, we recommend either placing the DOS Set
command in your
autoexec.bat file or at the DOS command line prompt, type:

<set AB_OAKLAND=mX,bY,iZ>

Where:

X = memory address; C000-E800
Y = I/O address; 2A8H-360H
Z = interrupt level; IRQ 2, 3, 4, or 5

These values must match those set via the DIP switches on the module. This
command is not case sensitive, but placing extra spaces in the line causes problems.

When going online with APS, do not select the start up command option

IT

(where

APS runs with only DH+ WHO). The command AB_OAKLAND does not function
See chapter 1 for more information on starting APS.

Note

If you use the serial port with APS, COM1 must use IRQ 4 and COM2 must use
IRQ 3.
