Warnings
ATEX Warnings and Conditions of Safe Usage
Power, Input, and Output (I/O) wiring must be in accordance with the authority having jurisdiction
A Warning - Explosion Hazard - When in hazardous locations, turn off power before replacing or wiring modules.
B Warning - Explosion Hazard - Do not disconnect equipment unless power has been switched off or the area is
known to be non-hazardous.
C These products are intended to be mounted in an IP54 enclosure. The devices shall provide external means to
prevent the rated voltage being exceeded by transient disturbances of more than 40%. This device must be used
only with ATEX certified backplanes.
D DO NOT OPEN WHEN ENERGIZED.
PC56™ Battery Warning
PC56 CMOS BIOS settings are protected by a rechargeable battery during power-down situations. The battery must
be fully charged before you change BIOS settings. You must keep the unit powered up for a full 20 hours in order to
obtain full charge capacity. If the battery is not fully charged, changes to BIOS settings may be lost when the PC56 is
removed from its power source. In this situation, the PC56 reverts to its default BIOS settings when power is re-
applied.
If the battery is discharged, or the battery enable jumper is removed, the BAT LED will be illuminated red. A fully
charged battery should maintain the BIOS settings for 15 days without power.

1.1 Package Contents
Your new PC56 Embedded PC is shipped with the following:
PC56 Embedded PC RJ45 to DB-9 Cable
DB-9 Female to 5 Pos Screw Terminal
Adapter
All modules fit into standard slots on the ControlLogix backplane. The PC56
Historian and its IDE module will each take a slot on the ControlLogix backplane.
You will need two available side-by-side slots on the backplane.
To install the PC56 Historian module:
1 Check jumper configurations (page 17, page 11, page 12, page 11) on each
module
2 Insert module in the ControlLogix rack (page 9)
3 Connect your Peripherals (page 19)
4 Verify Boot Up (page 20)

1.2 Installing Modules
Caution: Although the PC56 Histori n is hot-sw pp ble, it is NOT recommended th t you insert
the module into the r ck while power to the r ck is on. Shut down power to the ControlLogix r ck
before performing this step.
Align the module(s) with the top and bottom guides of the backplane and slide
them into the rack until the module is firmly seated in the backplane connector.
With a firm but steady push, snap the module(s) into place.
If you are inserting multiple modules, make sure that all of the modules are
aligned with their respective slots before you snap them into place.

1.3 Optional Module Connections
Optional modules must be connected to the PC56 Embedded PC using a side
connect connection. Refer to the following diagrams:
Insert the side-connect connector into the connector on the side of the PC56 as
shown in the diagram. Be careful when inserting the connector as improper
insertion may cause damage to the pins.

1.4.3 RS-485 Jumper Setting
1.4.4 Cable Connections
The application ports on the PC56-HIST module support RS-232, RS-422, and
RS-485 interfaces. Please inspect the module to ensure that the jumpers are set
correctly to correspond with the type of interface you are using.
ote: When using RS-232 with r dio modem pplic tions, some r dios or modems require
h rdw re h ndsh king (control nd monitoring of modem sign l lines). En ble this in the
configur tion of the module by setting the UseCTS p r meter to 1.
RS-232 Configuration/Debug Port
This port is physically an RJ45 connection. An RJ45 to DB-9 adapter cable is
included with the module. This port permits a PC based terminal emulation
program to view configuration and status data in the module and to control the
module. The cable for communications on this port is shown in the following
diagram:

RS-232 Application Port(s)
When the RS-232 interface is selected, the use of hardware handshaking
(control and monitoring of modem signal lines) is user definable. If no hardware
handshaking will be used, here are the cable pinouts to connect to the port.
RS-232: Modem Connection (Hardware Handshaking Required)
This type of connection is required between the module and a modem or other
communication device.
The "Use CTS Line" parameter for the port configuration should be set to 'Y' for
most modem applications.

RS-232: ull Modem Connection (Hardware Handshaking)
This type of connection is used when the device connected to the module
requires hardware handshaking (control and monitoring of modem signal lines).

RS-232: ull Modem Connection ( o Hardware Handshaking)
This type of connection can be used to connect the module to a computer or field
device communication port.
ote: For most null modem connections where h rdw re h ndsh king is not required, the Use
CTS Line p r meter should be set to nd no jumper will be required between Pins 7 (RTS) nd 8
(CTS) on the connector. If the port is configured with the Use CTS Line set to Y, then jumper is
required between the RTS nd the CTS lines on the port connection.

RS-422
The RS-422 interface requires a single four or five wire cable. The Common
connection is optional, depending on the RS-422 network devices used. The
cable required for this interface is shown below:
RS-485 Application Port(s)
The RS-485 interface requires a single two or three wire cable. The Common
connection is optional, depending on the RS-485 network devices used. The
cable required for this interface is shown below:
ote: Termin ting resistors re gener lly not required on the RS-485 network, unless you re
experiencing communic tion problems th t c n be ttributed to sign l echoes or reflections. In
these c ses, inst lling 120-ohm termin ting resistor between pins 1 nd 8 on the module
connector end of the RS-485 line m y improve communic tion qu lity.
RS-485 and RS-422 Tip
If communication in the RS-422 or RS-485 mode does not work at first, despite
all attempts, try switching termination polarities. Some manufacturers interpret +
and -, or A and B, polarities differently.
