Configure the Card Hardware

1784-6.5.22 - November 1999

Important: When selecting configuration settings, check for conflicts with

other interface cards and system memory. If there is a conflict, the
system will not operate properly. To avoid the conflict, you must
change the base address of the channel via rotary switch settings to
an open memory address.

Important: If you have a 386, 486, or Pentium host computer, you must find a

way to disable caching and shadow memory for at least the 4K of
memory space occupied by the KTx. This can usually be
accomplished through your CMOS set-up program or memory
manager, and must be done before running application with the
KTx card.

To configure the base memory address, you turn rotary switches on the
1784-KTx card.

1. Determine addresses for the channel(s) on your KTx card.

A. Use Table 2.A on page 2-3 to determine the recommended memory

address settings for your Allen-Bradley products.

B. Use Table 2.B on page 2-4 to determine which addresses are available for

the KTx card channel(s).

!

ATTENTION: If you have a two-channel card, you must set the base
addresses to different values—each channel must have a unique address.
Setting the base addresses to the same address can damage the KTx card.

If another card or channel is already using a channel’s default
memory address, you must pick a new address for the channel.
Each channel on each card must have a separate and unique
address.
