Installation and Wiring
This section contains information about configuring the
Program
port, cable configurations,
connector pinouts, and NXC-ME260 installation procedures.
Setting the Program Port DIP Switch
Prior to installing the NXC-ME260, configure the Program port’s communication speed by setting
the baud rate DIP switch (SW1) to the appropriate setting. The Program port’s DIP switch is
located to one side of the Master’s RS232 Program port.
Baud rate settings
The Program port DIP switch is located on the Master card’s circuit board. Use this DIP switch to
set the baud rate used by the Program port for communication. Before programming the Master,
make sure the baud rate you set matches the communication set on either your PC’s COM port or
through your NetLinx Studio 2.1. By default, the baud rate is set to 38,400 (bps).
Program Run Disable (PRD) mode
You can also use the Program Port DIP switch to set the Master card to Program Run Disable
(PRD) mode according to the settings listed in the table below.
