Communicate over Networks Chapter 4
Configure an Isolator
Channel 0 on the CompactLogix controllers is fully isolated and does not need a
separate isolation device. Channel 1 on the 1769-L31 controller is not an isolated
serial port. To configure an isolator, perform this procedure.
1. Determine whether you need an isolator.
If you connect channel 1 of the 1769-L31 controller to a modem or an
ASCII device, consider installing an isolator between the controller and
modem or ASCII device. An isolator is also recommended when
connecting the controller directly to a programming workstation.
One possible isolator is the 1761-NET-AIC interface converter.
