Preface To the Installer Use this document to install and use the 1784-KTX, 1784-KTXD, and 1784-KTS Communication Interface Cards. This document introduces the cards and outlines these procedures.
P-2 To the Installer If you ordered a 1784-KTS Interface Card The contents of your order will differ slightly from what is listed on page P-1 of the user manual. 1784-KTS customers do not receive the utility disk. With the 1784-KTS package, you should receive: • one 1784-KTS communication interface card • one 1784-KTx Communication Interface Card User Manual, publication 1784-6.5.22 If you are missing either of these pieces, contact your Allen-Bradley/Rockwell Automation sales representative.
To the Installer P-3 Specifications The operation parameters describe the environment within the KTx slot. Refer to the documentation for your computer for environmental requirements. The KTx card should not exceed those specifications. Operational slot temperature 0 to 60ºC (32 to 140ºF) Non-operational slot temperature -40 to 85ºC (-40 to 185ºF) Relative humidity 5 - 95% without condensation Vibration 10 - 60 Hz, constant 0.
P-4 To the Installer For DOS applications screen displays and prompts are shown as screen captures and text instructions. • Press ENTER to continue with the installation • F10 • Text that you type is shown as: a:\install c: Summary of Changes Several additions and changes to the KTx card and software information have been made.

Chapter 1 Introduction to the 1784-KTx Communication Interface Cards Your 1784-KTx communication interface card (cat. nos. 1784-KTX, 1784-KTXD, and 1784-KTS) is an ISA half-sized card that must be inserted into a 16-bit ISA or EISA expansion slot. Important: You must not place this card in an 8-bit expansion slot. Improper operation and damage to the card will result. Table 1.A shows the 1784-KTx card features. Table 1.
1-2 Introduction to the 1784-KTx Communication Interface Cards How the 1784-KTx Card Operates The 1784-KTX and -KTXD cards: • communicate with nodes on Data Highway networks, including PLC-2® , PLC-3® , and on Data Highway Plus networks, including PLC-5® , and SLC 5/04 processors, and SLC 5/01™ , SLC5/02, and SLC 5/03 processors (only via 1784KA5) • communicate with SLC™ processors on DH-485 networks • act as a remote I/O scanner The 1784-KTS card acts only as a remote I/O scanner.
Chapter 2 Configure the Card Hardware Before you install the KTx card inside your computer, you must set the: • base memory address - the card’s physical addresses for the expansion memory area of the host processsor’s system memory, that enables the KTx card and the host computer to exchange data through the dual-port interface • card’s interrupt setting Select the Base Memory Address Location The host computer and the KTx card exchange data via a dual-port interface.
2-2 Configure the Card Hardware ! ATTENTION: If you have a two-channel card, you must set the base addresses to different values—each channel must have a unique address. Setting the base addresses to the same address can damage the KTx card. If another card or channel is already using a channel’s default memory address, you must pick a new address for the channel. Each channel on each card must have a separate and unique address.
Configure the Card Hardware 2-3 Table 2.
2-4 Configure the Card Hardware Table 2.
Configure the Card Hardware 2-5 Table 2.C Address Selections Record the base memory address for the 1784-KTx card’s channel 1: Card: Slot number Using default address: Yes SW3 SW4 No Channel 1 If no, new memory address: Record the base memory address for the 1784-KTx card’s channel 2: Card: Slot number SW1 Using default address: Yes SW2 No Channel 2 If no, new memory address: 1784-6.5.
2-6 Configure the Card Hardware Set the Card’s Switches ATTENTION: When you set the switches, be certain to avoid touching other components on the card. ! To set the card’s switches, follow these steps: 1. Follow the card handling instructions on page P-2. 2. Remove the 1784-KTx card from the anti-static clamshell. 3. Use the decision table below.
Configure the Card Hardware 2-7 Select the Interrupt Setting Important: If you need to use the KTx as a remote I/O scanner within a SoftLogix5 system, you must set an interrupt for the scanner channel Important: When selecting configuration settings, check for conflicts with other interface cards and system memory. If there is a conflict, the system will not operate properly. To avoid the conflict, select a unique interrupt setting for each channel.
2-8 Configure the Card Hardware If you are: Then: using the card’s default interrupt settings, i.e., no interrupt go to the next section, Installing the Card Inside the Computer setting new interrupts move the jumper to the new interrupt location(s) (as entered on Table 2.
Configure the Card Hardware 2-9 1. Determine the interrupt(s) for the channel(s) on your KTx card. Use Table 2.D to determine which interrupts are available for the KTx card channel(s). Important: If you are using the KTx for remote I/O scanner emulation, you must set an interrupt for the scanner channel. Table 2.
2-10 Configure the Card Hardware Table 2.E Jumper Settings Important: If you are using the “no interrupt” setting, you must place the jumper vertically over two pins on the right-side row as show on page 2-7. This way you can save the jumper for future use. Placing the jumper on the left-side row will cause interrupt problems on the motherboard.
Configure the Card Hardware 2-11 New DH+ Specification - Link Baud Rate Allen-Bradley has added 230k baud rate enhancements to the DH+ firmware of the KTx. Note this update to the KTx dualport memory map for DH+, which is documented in publication 1784-6.5.21 :0007h Link Baud Rate INI FCh = 57.6 Kbaud FEh = 230.4 Kbaud R.........W Host writes a valid value (KTx baud rate) to byte:00007h. KTx reads at start-up.
2-12 Configure the Card Hardware 1784-6.5.
Chapter 3 Install the Card Inside the Computer You’ve set the memory addresses and interrupts; you’re ready to place the KTx card inside your computer.
3-2 Install the Card Inside the Computer The KTx Skirt Area Important: As shown in Figure 3.1, placing the card in certain computers may cause mechanical interference with improperly placed components on the motherboard of the computer. Be certain to position the card away from components that can touch the KTx’s skirt area. Figure 3.
Install the Card Inside the Computer 3-3 Access the Computer’s Expansion Slots To install the KTx card, you must have access to the computer’s bus. Refer to your computer’s hardware manual for instructions about how to: 1. Shut down and halt the host computer. 2. Turn off power to the computer. Important: If you disconnect the ac power from the computer, you lose the chassis ground. Electrostatic damage (ESD) protection is lost. 3.
3-4 Install the Card Inside the Computer E3 Jumper Sets Operating Mode The E3 jumper sets the card to 8- or 16-bit mode. Important: You must place the card in a 16-slot connector regardless of the chosen mode of operation. Eight-bit mode is included only as a fall-back in case of system issues with 16-bit operation; you should run the card in 16-bit mode.
Install the Card Inside the Computer 3-5 Insert the Card To insert the card inside the computer: 1. Follow the instructions on how to handle the card on page P-2. 2. Be certain that you have set correctly all of the switches and jumpers on the card. See Chapter 2. 3. Turn off power to the computer. Important: If you disconnect the ac power from the computer, you lose the chassis ground. Electrostatic damage (ESD) protection is lost. 4.
