The Human Interface Module
(HIM)
The 1394 Analog Servo System (1394x-SJTxx-A) provides a SCANport
interface and uses the standard Allen-Bradley Bulletin 1201 HIM to make
setup and configuration easy. This is the same device used with other
Allen-Bradley drives and general conventions and operation are the same.
We recommend that you use HIM firmware revision 3.0x and later or the
Series B HIM, which will give you the setup and copy cat (Series B HIM
only) features.
Note: To determine the series of your module, refer to Figure P.1 in the
Preface.
The drive-mounted HIM, which is available only with the analog servo
version of the 1394, is accessible from the front of the drive as shown in
Figure C.1. The HIM has two main functions:
• Provide a means of programming the drive and viewing operating
parameters.
• Allow different drive functions to be controlled.
There are three types of HIM modules available:
• 1201-HA2 (shown in Figure C.1)
• 1201-HAP (program only)
• 1201-HA1 (analog potentiometer)
Important: The HIM is available only on the Analog Servo version of
the 1394.
