Set up Your Network

Follow these directions to set up your scanner using RSLinx and
RSNetWorx.

For our demonstration, we are using a DH-485 connection between
the SLC-5 and the PC (via an Allen-Bradley PIC module). The
screens you see may be different than the screens provided in this
manual.

1. Check to be certain that you have installed the required drivers

and that the your scanner is not displaying any error codes. See
Appendix A: Numeric Code Display Summary.

2. Check to be certain that your scanner and interface has power.
