30 RSLinx – Training Guide
Configuring the 1784 KT
1. To configure the KT, take the following steps (each item is selected and configured
by clicking on that item’s row in the previous box).
a) Select the hardware (Device Type) by. Choose KT.
b) Select the Network Type (DH+ or DH485) by clicking the Network Type item
and then clicking the pull down arrow on the right side of this box to select
the correct option. Choose DH+.
c) Create a Station Name up to eight characters. In this case, use the default:
RSLinx.
d) Enter the Station Number - a valid, non-duplicate station address for the
DH+. (Range: 0-77 Octal)
e) Pick the correct board hexadecimal address for the KT.
This must match the settings made on the KT DIP switches.
• If you are unsure of your KT board's dip switch settings,
you will need to check the board and the installation documentation to
match the dip switch settings to their address.
f) Select the correct interrupt number. This should correspond to that set by
the hardware jumper on the KT board.
• An interrupt (or IRQ) is not required, but for best performance, select
an unused interrupt of either 3, 4, 5 or 7.
g) If this is the last station on the network, it is important to select YES to
terminate the DH+.
• Turning on terminate DH+ will switch in a terminating resistor, as a
PLC would have if it was the last station on the network.
h) Click OK.
• RSLinx will now find and configure the KT card.
