Procedure 1: Installing the Ethernet Controller Board in the PLC

This section describes the physical installation of the Ethernet Controller board into the Series 90-70 PLC rack. For information on the installation procedures for the rack, 90-70 CPU, Power Supply, and other Series 90-70 modules, refer to GFK-0262, Series 90-70 Pro- grammable Controller Installation and Operation User's Manual.

Equipment Required to Perform the Installation Procedures

In addition to the Ethernet Controller board, make sure you have the items listed below before you begin.

HA Series 90-70 PLC rack.

HA Series 90-70 power supply.

Note

The Ethernet Interface requires a power supply that can provide +5

Vdc and +12 Vdc. Use one of the following power supplies:

IC697PWR711 IC697PWR724

IC697PWR721 IC697PWR748

IC697PWR731

HA Series 90-70 CPU.

HAn operating Logicmastert90-70 system (serial, parallel, or network version).

HA Workmaster , or IBM-compatible personal computer.

HThe Ethernet Interface software diskette.

HA copy of the data sheet applicable to your Ethernet Controller board and cable plant.

HA certified Ethernet-compatible transceiver and Ethernet cables.

HA serial cable for the RS-232 connector on the Ethernet Controller board (see Appendix B).

Ethernet Controller Board Installation

The Ethernet Controller board installation is summarized here.

1.Read and record the 12-digit default station address (MAC address) from the printed label on the Ethernet Controller board. A Station Configuration Data Form is provided in Appendix F for your convenience in recording the station configuration information.

2.Be sure the Series 90-70 PLC rack power is OFF.

3.Connect the battery to either of the battery connectors on the controller board.

4.Slide the Ethernet Controller into the Series 90-70 PLC slot for which it was configured in the system - normally the first available slot to the right of the CPU. The controller must be placed in the main rack.
