Publication 17706.5.20 - June 1997
The KFC15/KFCD15 module has three ports for device connections:
RS-232C serial port—provides half- or full-duplex communication
with a serial node such as a host computer, an intelligent controller
or a modem
parallel port—provides half-duplex communication with a parallel
host such as a computer
network access port—lets you connect a programming terminal or
other device to the KFC15/KFCD15 module for full network access
without disrupting the cable wiring
The serial and parallel ports use DF1 protocol while the remaining
network access port handles ControlNet packets directly.
Status, Host, and ControlNet LEDs on the top of the KFC15/KFCD15
indicate current operating conditions of the unit and communication
activities taking place through the ports.
