Component Selection 2-3
The data format of the module EEPROM and UVPROM optional memory
modules is hexadecimal. The BASIC development software provides a hex file
transfer option that can be used to upload and download hex files to the module
EEPROM or UVPROM. The primary use of hex file transfers is to transfer the
data from an EEPROM in one module to an EEPROM in another module. Hex
file transfers can also be used to copy the data of an EEPROM to a UVPROM via
a PROM programmer. Refer to the BASIC Development Software Programming
Manual (publication number 1747-PM001A-US-P) for additional information on
hex file transfers.
Components Required
for DH485
Communication
Your module and the BASIC development software can interface with a DH485
network using a combination of the following:
• 1747-AIC Isolated Link Coupler
• 1747-PIC Interface/Converter
• 1784-KR DH485 Interface Card
• 1770-KF3 DH485 Communication Interface Module, or
• 1747-KE DH485/RS-232C Communication Interface Module
Figure 2.2 and Figure 2.3 show some of these components in typical DH485
network interfaces.
