Installation and Wiring

This section contains information about configuring the PROGRAM port, installing NetLinx Modules and the ME260, wiring diagrams, and pinouts for assembling cables.

Setting the Program Port DIP Switch

Baud rate settings

The Program Port DIP switch is located on the front of the Master Cards. For Modules, you must remove the front panel to access the DIP switch.

Use this DIP switch to set the baud rate for the Program Port, according to the settings shown in the following table. Make sure the baud rate you set matches the baud rate on your PC's COM port before programming the Master Card. By default, the baud rate is set to 38,400 (bps). Note the orientation of the DIP Switch and the ON position label.

PRD mode prevents the NetLinx program stored in the Master Card from running when you power up the Master Card. PRD mode should only be used when you suspect the resident NetLinx program is causing inadvertent communication and/or control problems. If necessary, place the Master Card in PRD mode and use the NetLinx Studio program to resolve the communication and/ or control problems with the resident NetLinx program. Then, download the new NetLinx program and try again.
