Hardware
requirements
1784-KT card and network connection
to PLC.
Setup the board address switches and interrupt jumper on the
card.
Software requirements
Install the Allen-Bradley supplied Interchange software 5850-WKTS
or Citect AB Interchange KT disk. Edit AB's CFG_KT.INI file and
windows WINSTART.BAT to run ABICRUN.BAT.

| For best performance configure a
virtual port for each PLC. Up to 40 ports can be defined.
Maxpending * number of ports must not be more than 40. |

- PORT_ID,STATION_NUM
|
|
|
- PORT_ID is the communication channel that the Network Interface
will use to access a remote PLC station. e.g
|
|
|
- nKT for KT module n (n = 1 to 8)
|
|
|
- STATION_NUM is the DH or DH+ node number of the remote PLC
station. It must be specified in octal notation and must be between
1 and 376 (octal) inclusive (for Data Highway channels) or 0 and 77
(octal) inclusive (for Data Highway Plus channel)

Unsolicited Messages
If the Address of an IO device in is blank then this device is
for processing unsolicited messages from all PLCs. The protocol
must be ABKT2 since only PLC-2 type messages are supported. Only
one device should be used in this way to process unsolicited
messages.
Citect.ini option
[ABKT]

The default size of the PLC-2 data table is 512 words (10 to 777
octal). Words 0 to 7 are not accessible.
