3.0 BENCHTOP SETUP & EVALUATION
As an integrator, your first task is to verify that the OEM module will function
as intended with the host equipment. This section describes how to test the
unit for operation with host devices such as RTUs, PLCs and similar gear. It
covers the steps for making interface connections, powering up the trans-
ceiver, and setting configuration parameters using a connected PC.
Evaluation of the module is best performed in a controlled environment, such
as a shop or lab facility where you can readily test various hardware and
programming configurations and observe the effects of these changes before
final installation.
Once you are satisfied that the transceiver module operates properly on the
bench, you can plan the installation of the module inside the host device and
be assured of proper operation in the field.
NOTE: Before using the Evaluation PCB, please review the detailed information on the Eval-
uation PCB and its functions, see “EVALUATION DEVELOPMENT KIT (P/N
03-4053A01)” on Page 73.
