Required Tools And Equipment - Allen-Bradley 160-RS1 User Manual

Required Tools and Equipment

Quick Start for Experienced Users
This chapter can help you start using the RS1 Communication
Module. If you have installed or configured a network previously and
are familiar with Allen-Bradley communication modules and drives,
this information can help reduce the time of installation. If you are
uncertain, use the full installation/configuration information
beginning in Chapter 3.
We base the procedures here on the assumption that you understand
the basic concepts and know how to program the 160 Drive. In
addition, you should understand electronic process control and be
able to interpret the ladder logic instructions required to generate the
electronic signals that control your application.
Because it is a start-up guide for experienced users, this chapter does
not contain detailed explanations about the procedures listed. It does,
however, reference other chapters in this book where you can get
more information.
If you have any questions or are unfamiliar with the terms used or
concepts presented in the procedural steps, always read the
referenced chapters and other recommended documentation before
trying to apply the information.
This chapter contains the following information:
• What tools and equipment you need.
• When to address, configure and program the module.
• How to install and wire the Communication Module.
• System power-up procedures.
Have the following tools and equipment ready:
• 1/8 in. (3.2 mm) flat blade screwdriver.
• Blunt, pointed instrument (not pen or pencil) for setting the DIP
switches.
