1747-KFC15 ControlNet
Connect the 1747-KFC15 according to your instruction manual
documentation. There should be a connection from KFC15 RS232
port to Channel 0 of the SLC. For this example the communications
and configuration of the channel 0 and the KFC15 were the following:
•
KFC15 – DF1 station address “7”
•
KFC15 and SLC baud rate at “19200”
•
KFC15 and SLC” Full duplex”
•
KFC15 and SLC Parity “None”
•
KFC15 and SLC Handshaking “None”
•
KFC15 Diagnostic Command Execution “Disabled”
•
KFC15 Duplicate detect “Off”
•
KFC15 and SLC Error Detect “CRC”

KFC15 Number of Retries “3”
•
KFC15 DF1 ACK Time Out “3.2”
Reading files from the Powermonitor 3000
Both integer and float files can be read from the Powermonitor 3000.
This example reads the Date and Time table. Floats can be read by
using this same process but destination file should be of type float.
TIP
Since it is easier to configure and much faster to run,
full-duplex mode is the preferred mode of operation.
Use half-duplex mode only if you do not have a
choice.
