The 1784-KL module lets a T45 and T47 communicate with the
PLC-5
™ processor. The 1784-KL also provides DH+™ to DH+
programming.
To configure the information for the 1784-KL module, select (B)
from the Driver Type menu (Figure 7.2). Figure 7.3 describes the
menu flow to configure the KL module.
The 1784-KT module provides access for DH to DH+ programming.
It only takes one slot in your programming terminal and provides
communication to all Allen-Bradley processors.
To configure the information for the 1784-KT module, select (B)
from the Driver Type menu. Figure 7.3 describes the menu flow
used to configure the KT module.
The communication driver is interrupt driven so that the serial port
must support hardware interrupts. On most machines, COM1 and
COM2 support these interrupts.
