1747-KFC15 Set Up

Unlike PLC5 or ControlLogix controllers, the unscheduled messages between the
SLC controller and the drive must pass through the KFC15 module and the serial
cable, included with the KFC15 module, that physically connects the module and the
processor.

Important: ControlNet unscheduled messaging is not fully deterministic and may be

further limited by the baud rate selected for Channel 0 (RS232/DF1)
communications.

The communication parameters between the SLC500 and the KFC15 must be
identical. Set the DIP switches on the KFC15 according to the application. In most
cases, choose all default settings. However, the value 19200 is preferable over the
default value (1200) for Serial Port Baud Rate.

In RSLogix5000, choose Channel Configuration in the project tree and verify that the
“General” and “Chan 0-System” parameters are the same as you set on the KFC15
DIP switches.
