ATTENTION

Environment and Enclosure

This equipment is intended for use in a Pollution Degree 2 industrial environment, in overvoltage Category II applications (as defined in IEC publication 60664-1), at altitudes up to 2000 meters without derating.

This equipment is considered Group 1, Class A industrial equipment according to IEC/CISPR Publication 11. Without appropriate precautions, there may be potential difficulties ensuring electromagnetic compatibility in other environments due to conducted as well as radiated disturbance.

This equipment is supplied as "open type" equipment. It must be mounted within an enclosure that is suitably designed for those specific environmental conditions that will be present and appropriately designed to prevent personal injury resulting from accessibility to live parts. The interior of the enclosure must be accessible only by the use of a tool. Subsequent sections of this publication may contain additional information regarding specific enclosure type ratings that are required to comply with certain product safety certifications.

See NEMA Standards publication 250 and IEC publication 60529, as applicable, for explanations of the degrees of protection provided by different types of enclosure. Also, see the appropriate sections in this publication, as well as the Allen-Bradley publication 1770-4.1 ("Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines"), for additional installation requirements pertaining to this equipment.

ATTENTION

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge

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.

• Wear an approved grounding wriststrap.

• Do not touch connectors or pins on component boards.

• Do not touch circuit components inside the equipment.

• If available, use a static-safe workstation.

• When not in use, store the equipment in appropriate

static-safe packaging.

About the 1784-PCC Card

What is in This Chapter?

Read this section to familiarize yourself with PC card technology and the 1784-PCC card. The following table describes what this chapter contains and where to find specific information.

For information about this topic: See page:

What is PCMCIA? 1-1

What is a PC Card? 1-1

What is the PCC Card? 1-3

What is PCMCIA?

The Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA) developed a standard for credit-card size personal computer (PC) cards. The PCMCIA standard defines an architecture and communication method for these PC cards.

PC cards developed under Release 1.0 of the PCMCIA standard are used for data storage. PC cards developed under Release 2.0 of the PCMCIA standard can be used for both I/O and data storage.

What is a PC Card?

Since personal computers have become smaller, a need for smaller storage media developed. The PC card is a small form-factor adapter that can add memory, storage, and I/O capabilities to these smaller computers.

All PC cards measure the same length and width (54 mm x 85.6 mm), but differ in thickness at the center. The thickness at the connector end and along the rails is the same for all types of PC cards.

Publication 1784-IN034D-EN-P - June 2002

1-2 About the 1784-PCC Card

Architecture

Currently there are three types of PC cards:

Typ e I

3.3 mm thick

Type II

5.0 mm thick

Type III

10.5 mm thick

Width

data storage, such as Flash memory cards

I/O such as modem, LAN, and host communications (the Allen-Bradley 1784-PCD,

-PCMK, and -PCC cards are Type II cards)

data storage or I/O capabilities that require more space, such as rotating media and wireless communication devices

19911

If the PCMCIA slot in your computer is thick enough to accommodate a Type III card, then it can also accommodate a Type I or II card.

All three types of PC cards use the same 68–pin connector. The pins are in two parallel rows of 34 pins. When inserted into the PCMCIA slot on your computer, the connector mates with a single molded socket.

Windows NT users: If you have a 1784-PCC series A interface card, you will need to perform a flash upgrade to upgrade to series B. Refer to Publication 1784-PCC-RN1 for details. To access this information, visit www.ab.com\support. Click on the PC Cards link and download the PCC_Upgrade.exe file. This file contains both the upgrade utility and the publication (1784-PCC-RN1) containing the instructions for completing the upgrade.

Pre-Installation Procedures 2-3

Find the 1784-PCC Driver

When you install drivers for your operating systems, you must be certain to install the correct files. Windows 95/98/Me systems require a Virtual Device Driver (VxD), which contains .inf and .vxd files. Windows NT requires an NT driver, which uses setup.exe, Unpccnt.exe and pcc_config.exe files. Windows 2000/XP requires a Windows Driver Model (WDM), which contains .inf and .sys files. Refer to the table below to be sure you are installing the correct driver files.

ATTENTION

Failure to install the correct driver files could result in unpredictable system operation.

Install the Driver

Follow the instructions in Chapter 7 to insert your card in your laptop.

IMPORTANT

Before you can install the driver for the 1784-PCC card, you must be logged in as an administrator of the machine. Being an administrator gives you permission to install or make changes to the machine software. If you try to install the driver without being an administrator, you will get error messages and the driver will not install.

Hearing Multiple Tones

If you insert multiple PC Cards, you may hear more than one tonal notification per card. Windows 2000/XP detects devices during the power up process, and adjusts the device resources accordingly. This results in sounding multiple tones. When the system changes settings (for example, when removing a card), the tones will sound again for each change.
