InView Communication Module Connections 3-15
Connect a Computer
On InView DH-485 communication modules, applications are
transferred:
• through the DH-485 programming connector to the InView
communication module.
• through any node on a DH-485 network.
To connect a computer to the InView communication module, you
need:
• a cable (same cables used to transfer applications from APS
software to SLC)
– 0.3 m (1 ft) cable, catalog no. 1747-C11
– 1.83 m (6 ft) cable, catalog no. 1747-C10
– 6.1 m (20 ft) cable, catalog no. 1747-C20
• Personal Computer Interface Converter (PIC), catalog no.
1747-PIC. The PIC connects to the computer. The cable connects
the PIC to the DH-485 programming connector.
Personal Computer Interface Converter (PIC)
The PIC receives power from a controller through DH-485
connections. When connecting a computer directly to a InView
communication module without a controller connected, you need to
use a power supply (Catalog No. 1747-NP1). The power supply
connects to the DH-485 communications connector with the same
cables used to connect an SLC processor.
IMPORTANT
The InView DH-485 communication module must be
connected to an SLC processor, DH-485 network, or
power supply (Catalog No. 1747-NP1). This
connection provides power to the PIC.
