Configuring the
KFC15/KFCD15 Module
Use this chapter to configure the KFC15/KFCD15 communication
parameters via the pushbuttons and seven-segment displays in the
configuration panel on the bottom of the module.
Overview of Configuration Procedures
The KFC15/KFCD15 module has two modes of operation, run mode
and configuration mode. During normal operation the
KFC15/KFCD15 module functions in run mode. To change the
communication parameters the unit must be in configuration mode.
Any changes made to the communication parameters take effect as
soon as they are saved and the unit returns to run mode. While in
configuration mode the KFC15/KFCD15 module continues to
communicate according to its current settings. This allows you to
view the current settings without interrupting the operation of the
unit.
Important:
Verify all parameter settings before connecting the
KFC15/KFCD15 module to the network. Incorrect
settings may cause unreliable and unpredictable
operation of the network.
Parameter settings are saved in non-volatile memory so that you do
not lose them even if power to the KFC15/KFCD15 module is
interrupted. When the KFC15/KFCD15 module is in run mode, the
seven-segment display is off to conserve power.
