Preface
The 1770-KFC15/KFCD15 Communication Interface provides a
communication link between a ControlNet
t
cable system and
devices with a serial or parallel port that do not connect directly to
the cable system, such as programming terminals, portable
computers, and other serial/parallel devices.
The 1770-KFC15/KFCD15 Communication Interface refers to the
following modules: 1770-KFC15, or 1770-KFCD15. The physical
