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.

running. If you need additional information, refer to the appropriate user manual
located on the PC56 CD-ROM shipped with your module.
1.1 Carton Content
Your new PC56 Embedded PC is shipped with the following:
PC56 Embedded PC Two RJ45 to DB-9 Cables

1.1.1 IDE Modules
If you purchased the PC56-XP-IDE, you will receive a second carton that
contains the IDE module.
1.1.2 Installing Modules
All modules fit into standard slots on the ControlLogix backplane. The PC56
Embedded PC and each IDE or expansion module will each take a slot on the
ControlLogix backplane. For example, if your purchased the PC56-XP-IDE, you
will need two available slots on the backplane. The slots must be side-by-side.
Additional modules take additional slots and all are required to be side-by-side.
To install the PC56 Embedded PC or any of the other modules….
1 Check jumper configurations on each module
2 If required, connect IDE or expansion modules to the PC56 Embedded PC
3 Insert modules in the ControlLogix rack
4 Connect your Peripherals
5 Verify Boot Up

Jumpers are preconfigured, and in most cases, should not be changed. The
following diagrams show the jumper configurations for the PC56 HIST module.

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 Installing Modules
Caution: Although the PC56 is hot-swappable, it is NOT recommended that you insert the module
into the rack while power to the rack is on. Shut down power to the ControlLogix rack 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.
1.5 Connecting Peripherals
Just like any other PC, the PC56 is fully equipped for connections to a variety of
devices. The inside label provides descriptions of the various ports and
connectors.
Caution: Make sure power to the ControlLogix rack is OFF before connecting peripherals to the
PC56.
1.5.1 Cable Connections
The application ports on the PC56 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.
Note: When using RS-232 with radio modem applications, some radios or modems require
hardware handshaking (control and monitoring of modem signal lines). Enable this in the
configuration of the module by setting the UseCTS parameter 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, the cable to connect to the port is as shown below:

RS-232: Modem Connection
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: Null 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: Null Modem Connection (No Hardware Handshaking)
This type of connection can be used to connect the module to a computer or field
device communication port.
Note: If the port is configured with the "Use CTS Line" set to 'Y', then a jumper is required between
the RTS and the CTS line on the module connection.
RS-422

RS-485 Application Port(s)
The RS-485 interface requires a single two or three wire cable. The Common
connection is optional and dependent on the RS-485 network. The cable required
for this interface is shown below:
Note: Terminating resistors are generally not required on the RS-485 network, unless you are
experiencing communication problems that can be attributed to signal echoes or reflections. In this
case, install a 120-ohm terminating resistor on the RS-485 line.
RS-485 and RS-422 Tip
If communication in the RS-422/RS-485 mode does not work at first, despite all
attempts, try switching termination polarities. Some manufacturers interpret +/-
and A/B polarities differently.
