USB-to-ControlNet Cable Important User Information Solid state equipment has operational characteristics differing from those of electromechanical equipment. Safety Guidelines for the Application, Installation and Maintenance of Solid State Controls (publication SGI-1.1 available from your local Rockwell Automation sales office or online at http://literature.rockwellautomation.com) describes some important differences between solid state equipment and hard-wired electromechanical devices.
USB-to-ControlNet Cable 3 Environment and Enclosure ATTENTION This equipment is intended for use in overvoltage Category II applications (as defined in IEC publication 60664-1), at altitudes up to 2000 m (6562 ft) without derating. This equipment is considered Group 1, Class A industrial equipment according to IEC/CISPR Publication 11.
USB-to-ControlNet Cable About the Cable The 1784-U2CN USB-to-ControlNet cable lets you connect a notebook or desktop computer to a ControlNet network by using an unused USB port on the computer. The product replaces the 1784-PCC communication card for computers that do not have PCMCIA slots. IMPORTANT To comply with the CE Low Voltage Directive (LVD), this equipment must be powered from a source compliant with Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) or Protected Extra Low Voltage (PELV).
USB-to-ControlNet Cable 5 Install the Cable Follow these procedures to install the cable. ATTENTION This equipment is sensitive to electrostatic discharge, which can cause internal damage and affect normal operation. Follow these guidelines when you handle this equipment: • Touch a grounded object to discharge potential static. • Do not touch connectors or pins. • Store the equipment in appropriate static-safe packaging when not in use.
USB-to-ControlNet Cable Configure and Connect the Cable ATTENTION USB and ControlNet connection lengths must be less than 3 meters. Do not attempt to extend the cables. 1. Use the rotary switches to set the module node address to a valid number (1…99). Node Address (Rotary) Switches 2. Insert the end of the cable having the USB connector into a USB port on a computer.
