Chapter 1 Introducing the Network Interface Cards Rockwell Automation 1784-PKTx family PCI cards connect PCs to PLC controllers on Data Highway Plus (DH+) or SLC processors on DH-485 networks for easy programming and data acquisition. I/O scanner functionality is also available in the cards so they can be used with soft-control or embedded-control engines. And, because these cards incorporate the Universal PCI Card Standard, they are compatible with almost any PC.
1-2 Introducing the Network Interface Cards Compatibility You need a PCI-compatible personal computer. Table 1.2 outlines operating systems and drivers that support the PKTx cards. Table 1.
Chapter 2 Configuring the PKTx Hardware Introduction The 1784-PKTx card is a PCI bus card, compliant with the PCI Bus Specification Revision 2.3. This card was developed with Plug and Play functionality, as defined in Revision 1.0A of the Plug and Play BIOS Specification. Because of this, PKTx cards do not require the use of switches or jumpers to configure their specific interrupt request levels (IRQ) and base memory address values.
2-2 Configuring the PKTx Hardware Figure 2.1 Overview of the jumpers on the PKTx card Base Memory Jumper (JP2) Card ID Jumper (JP3) Setting a Base Memory Address Jumper The host computer and the PKTx card exchange data via a dual-port interface. The dual-port requires 4 Kbytes of memory. This 4 Kbyte block of memory begins at the base memory address assigned to the card by the PCI BIOS when the computer is started. Under MS-DOS, Windows 3.
Configuring the PKTx Hardware 2-3 When looking directly at the 1784-PKTx card, the Base Memory Address jumper looks like: 32BIT This is a jumper that is not covered. 1MEG 32BIT This is a jumper that has the 32bit position for Windows 95 (or later) covered. 40022 1MEG Using Multiple PKTx Cards It is possible to have more than one PKTx card within your system. You can have up to four cards functioning at the same time.
2-4 Configuring the PKTx Hardware Planning Jumper Settings for Multiple Cards Located on each PKTx card is a set of jumpers with markings that indicate how each jumper can be set. These jumpers are identified as JP3. It is important to coordinate the setting of these jumpers so that each card can be recognized by the system. Figure 2.2 and the table below show possible combinations of jumper settings that can be used if you have a total of four cards.
Chapter 3 Installing the Card and the Drivers You’ve set the jumpers; now you’re ready to place the PKTx card inside your computer and install the plug-n-play drivers. ATTENTION WARNING Before you can install the PKTx card, you need to verify that the appropriate jumpers have been set. Refer to chapter 2, Configuring the PKTx Hardware, for more information. If you install or remove the communications card with power applied to this module, an electrical arc can occur.
3-2 Installing the Card and the Drivers Installing the Plug and Play Drivers Following these instructions to install your Plug and Play (PnP) drivers: 1. Upon startup, Microsoft Windows should detect the PKTX card and start the ‘New Hardware Wizard’. Click Next. 2. Insert your RSLinx CD into your CD-ROM drive (if it auto-starts, Exit the RSLinx installation). 3. When prompted by the New Hardware Wizard, select ‘Search for a suitable driver...’ and click Next. 4.
Chapter 4 Connecting the Network Interface Card You can connect the PKTx card to these networks: • DH+ • DH-485 • Remote I/O The purpose of this chapter is to explain: • what cables can be used to connect to the various networks • other information needed to connect to a network • the meanings of the status LEDs WARNING If you connect or disconnect the communications cable with power applied to this module or any device on the network, an electrical arc can occur.

4-4 Connecting the Network Interface Card Before You Begin If you connect or disconnect the communications cable with power applied to this module or any device on the network, an electrical arc can occur. This could cause an explosion in hazardous location installations. WARNING Before you make the connections, make sure you have the correct cable.
