2-5 GFK-1004B Chapter 2 Installing the Ethernet Interface
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.
H A Series 90-70 PLC rack.
H A 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
H A Series 90-70 CPU.
H An operating Logicmastert 90-70 system (serial, parallel, or network version).
H A Workmaster

, or IBM-compatible personal computer.
H The Ethernet Interface software diskette.
H A copy of the data sheet applicable to your Ethernet Controller board and cable plant.
H A certified Ethernet-compatible transceiver and Ethernet cables.
H A 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.
