The card supports direct connection functions for PLC-2 and PLC-3 controllers when installed in compatible systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eField Installation Guidelines\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall the 1784-KTX only in a compatible 16-bit ISA or EISA expansion slot. Verify that the host computer power is removed before card insertion or removal to prevent electrical damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse proper ESD handling procedures during installation because the card contains CMOS components sensitive to electrostatic discharge. Maintain separation between communication wiring and high-voltage power conductors to reduce electrical interference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConfirm DH+ or DH-485 network wiring polarity and shielding practices before connection. Ground cable shields according to the system grounding design and avoid creating unintended ground loops.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Allen-Bradley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43724842827866,"sku":"1784-KTX","price":123.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/4601\/3530\/files\/1784-KTX2.jpg?v=1784878825","url":"https:\/\/www.plcmasters.com\/products\/allen-bradley-1784-ktx-plc-5-communication-interface-card","provider":"PLC Masters Ltd.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
