Handling the Module
ATTENTION: This RS-232 module uses CMOS technology , which is highly
sensitive to electrostatic dischar ge (ESD). ESD may be present whenever you
are handling the module.
T
ake these precautions to guard against electrostatic damage:
•Avoid touching the interface connector pins on the RS-232 module.
•If the module is not in use, store it in the anti-static bag in which it was
shipped.
It is not necessary to wear an ESD wrist strap while handling the 1770-KFD
module.

The 1770-KFD module performs data transmission, management, and local
network diagnostics.
Allen-Bradley DeviceNet Manager software, 1787-MGR, manages data
transmission and reception through the 1770-KFD interface module from a
personal computer (Windowstoperating system).
Mounting the 1770KFD Module
You can mount the module on a DIN rail.
1. Use the four screws to attach the two mounting brackets to the back of the
module.

Supplying Power to the 1770KFD Module
The 1770-KFD module can be powered from either an external power supply or
from a DeviceNet network.
Supplying Power via AC Wall Adapter
Figure 2 shows the power supply , catalog no. 1787-USADPTR, that takes 120V
ac and outputs 9V dc at 1 amp.

Figure 3 shows the global power supply, which takes 90 – 260V ac,
47 – 63 Hz, and outputs 9V dc. This power supply is available only with the
1770-KFD module as catalog no. 1770-KFDG.

Important: You must supply the cable between the adapter and the outlet.
Supplying Power via Network
The DeviceNet network can power the 1770-KFD module.
Important:
When the module is connected to a powered DeviceNet network,
the network connection overrides the external power supply.
Supplying Power to a Device
The module can supply power to a device in a point-to-point connection.
The device being powered in a point-to-point connection can draw a maximum
of 100 mA at 12V dc ±5%.

Publication 17705.6 - June 1996
Using the Interface Module with a Portable Computer
Some portable computers have power-saving modes that power down the serial
ports during inactive periods, occurring most often when batteries power the PC.
The serial-port power-saving feature causes the RS-232 interface module to go
of fline and to cease communication with DeviceNet Manager . Y ou should
disable the serial-port power-saving feature to use the RS-232 interface module
with DeviceNet Manager .
If you experience a problem with the RS-232 interface module going offline
unexpectedly, use the setup program of your portable computer to disable the
serial-port power-saving feature.
