Has anyone successfully integrated a WDPF Grp1 QLC card to an Allen Bradley 1770 KF2 Module??

If So,

* what driver did you load onto the QLC card??

* what did the "configuration file" look like??

Any assistance will be much appreciated,

Hello, have you reviewed the information in Westinghouse Manual U0-1130?

Yes we have. To start you would need an older laptop with a 9 pin serial port. You will need DOS 5.0 or lower. We used DOS500 to create a dos boot disk. You can't do it through windows. The best is a 16 bit machine. You will then need to get a copy of ABQLC.exe, BACFLASH.exe and EXTPC.exe. These files must be loaded on the QLC card.

The QLC card will nned to be formated as a system drive. Here is an example of the file you will need to create:

/FILE: title = "Centrifuges 1&3",
port = 1 ,
baud = 9600,
parity = N,
databits = 8,
stopbits = 1,
sourceaddr = 10,
looptime = 0.0,
timeout = 2.0,
numnaks = 3,
numenqs = 3,
watchdogtime = 5.0,
switch = 0,
recoveryerrs = 3,
quiettime = 5.0,
statusreg = 2000

Create an autoexec.bat file using the file name like: abqlc -f test.txt -a Save this to the flash drive by typing bakflash on the B: move switch 6 up and reset the card. When connecting to the QLC card with the laptop, if you boot up the laptop with a dos disk, it is much faster when you type extpc and then reset the qlc card. The QLC should be set up on the switches for 9600 baud and switch 6 should be down so you can program the unit. After you back flash the B: drive you should raise switch 6 so the QLC will run your autoexec file. The -a allows you to see the program run with the laptop. If there are any errors this will tell you where they are. It takes about 2 hours to do this process and test your program
