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.

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 SLC 5/04 processors, and SLC 5/01

, and on Data Highway Plus networks, including PLC-5®,

™

, 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.

The 1784-KTx performs data transmission, management, and local network diagnostics. The interface to the host processor is through a board-resident dual-port memory.

Allen-Bradley interface software (including RSLogix via RSLinx, AI, 6200, and INTERCHANGE) manages data transmission and reception through dual-port memory.

Remember to set the base memory address on the KTx card so that it does not interfere with selected addresses of other expansion cards in your computer. On dual-channel cards, set two addresses.

Important: Although the 1784-KTXD has two channels, you cannot use the

card to directly bridge between two networks.

What to Do Next

Chapter 2 tells you how to configure the card hardware.

1784-6.5.22 - November 1999

Chapter

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. The dual-port interface requires 4 Kbytes of memory (2 Kbytes for dual-port and 2 Kbytes for the rest of the interface). It begins at the specified base memory address location. You must select an area where there is at least a 4 Kbyte memory block available. If you have MS-DOS 6.0 or later, use the memory option in Microsoft Diagnostics (MSD) to identify available memory.

The 1784-KTx cards come set to memory address(es):

Catalog Number Channel Address

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.

Important: When selecting configuration settings, check for conflicts with

Important: If you have a 386, 486, or Pentium host computer, you must find a

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.

other interface cards and system memory. If there is a conflict, the system will not operate properly. To avoid the conflict, you must change the base address of the channel via rotary switch settings to an open memory address.

way to disable caching and shadow memory for at least the 4K of memory space occupied by the KTx. This can usually be accomplished through your CMOS set-up program or memory manager, and must be done before running application with the KTx card.

To configure the base memory address, you turn rotary switches on the 1784-KTx card.

1. Determine addresses for the channel(s) on your KTx card.

A. Use Table 2.A on page 2-3 to determine the recommended memory

address settings for your Allen-Bradley products.

B. Use Table 2.B on page 2-4 to determine which addresses are available for

the KTx card channel(s).
