Chapter 12 USB Serial Communication
Configure a Module Via
the USB Port
The module has a USB device port. To use the USB port, you must have
RSLinx software, version 2.51 or later, installed on your computer. Use a USB
cable to connect your computer to the USB port. The connection lets you
download programs to controllers and configure other devices, which are
accessible by the module, directly from your computer.
WARNING
The USB port is intended for temporary local programming
purposes only and not intended for permanent connection. If
you connect or disconnect the USB cable with power applied to
this module or any device on the USB network, an electrical arc
can occur. This could cause an explosion in hazardous location
installations. A Samtec Inc. RSP-119350 USB cable is required
to maintain hazardous location certifications.
ATTENTION
Be sure that power is removed or the area is nonhazardous
before proceeding
IMPORTANT
The USB cable is not to exceed 3.0 m (9.84 ft) and must not
contain hubs.
