Introducing the
KFC15/KFCD15 Module
Overview of the KFC15/KFCD15 Module
The KFC15/KFCD15 module enables you to connect devices that
cannot communicate directly to the ControlNet. Such devices will
use either an RS-232C serial port or an enhanced parallel port to
connect to the KFC15/KFCD15 module. Device types requiring
connection to the ControlNet cable system are varied, including
multi-vendor automation equipment, personal computers,
mini-computers, and modems.
The 1770-KFCD15, as shown below, is functionally equivalent to the
1770-KFC15, except it is powered on by a 24 V dc power supply
instead of a 115 V ac supply.
