Serial Communications

COMMUNICATIONS USING BULLETIN 1203

COMMUNICATION MODULES

Bulletin 1305 drive parameter data can be programmed and
displayed using PLC's, SLC's or other logic controllers using
an optional Bulletin 1203 Communication Module. The amount
of information that can be transferred between the drive and
controller is determined by the DIP switch settings on the
Communication Module.
Table B.1 illustrates the dip switch settings for Bulletin
1203-GD1 (Remote I/O) communication modules. Dip switch
settings for other communication modules will be similar. Refer
to the appropriate communication module user manual for
details.
Important: 1305 drives with firmware revisions FRN1.01 and
FRN1.02 are not compatible with Bulletin 1203
Communication Modules. If connected, an error message will
be indicated. The red fault status and amber SCANportT status
LED's on the front of the module will flash simultaneously.
SCANport is a trademark of Allen-Bradley Company.

➀ Refer to the Bulletin 1203 Communication Module Block Transfer User Manual.
➁ To enable the PLC to provide the frequency reference, Logic Bits 12 through 15 must
be set to select [Freq Select 1] or [Freq Select 2] as the frequency reference (refer
to Table B.2 ). The [Freq Select 1] or [Freq Select 2] parameters must then be set to
the adapter number that the communication module is connected to. See Pages 2-24
and 5-25 for additional information on determining the Adapter number and [Freq
Select 1] and [Freq Select 2] selections.
