Communicating to a Powermonitor 3000 from an SLC through
1747-KFC15 ControlNet
Connect the 1747-KFC15 according to your instruction manual
documentation. There should be a connection from KFC15 RS232
port to Channel 0 of the SLC. For this example the communications
and configuration of the channel 0 and the KFC15 were the following:
• KFC15 – DF1 station address "7"
• KFC15 and SLC baud rate at "19200"
• KFC15 and SLC" Full duplex"
• KFC15 and SLC Parity "None"
• KFC15 and SLC Handshaking "None"
• KFC15 Diagnostic Command Execution "Disabled"
• KFC15 Duplicate detect "Off"
• KFC15 and SLC Error Detect "CRC"
• KFC15 Number of Retries "3"
• KFC15 DF1 ACK Time Out "3.2"
Since it is easier to configure and much faster to run,
TIP
full-duplex mode is the preferred mode of operation.
Use half-duplex mode only if you do not have a
choice.
Reading files from the Powermonitor 3000
