This section describes the physical installation of the Ethernet Controller board into the
Series 90-70 PLC rack.  For information on the installation procedures for the rack, 90-70
CPU, Power Supply, and other Series 90-70 modules, refer to GFK-0262, Series 90-70 Pro-
grammable Controller Installation and Operation User’s Manual.

In addition to the Ethernet Controller board, make sure you have the items listed below
before you begin.

H A Series 90-70 PLC rack.
H A Series 90-70 power supply.

The Ethernet Interface requires a power supply that can provide +5
Vdc and +12 Vdc.  Use one of the following power supplies:

IC697PWR711

IC697PWR724

IC697PWR721

IC697PWR748

IC697PWR731

H A Series 90-70 CPU.
H An operating Logicmastert 90-70 system (serial, parallel, or network version).
H A Workmaster



, or IBM-compatible personal computer.

H The Ethernet Interface software diskette.
H A copy of the data sheet applicable to your Ethernet Controller board and cable plant.
H A certified Ethernet-compatible transceiver and Ethernet cables.
H A serial cable for the RS-232 connector on the Ethernet Controller board (see

Appendix B).

The Ethernet Controller board installation is summarized here.

1.

Read and record the 12-digit default station address (MAC address) from the printed
label on the Ethernet Controller board.  A Station Configuration Data Form is
provided in Appendix F for your convenience in recording the station configuration
information.

2.

Be sure the Series 90-70 PLC rack power is OFF.

3.

Connect the battery to either of the battery connectors on the controller board.

4.

Slide the Ethernet Controller into the Series 90-70 PLC slot for which it was
configured in the system - normally the first available slot to the right of the CPU.
The controller must be placed in the main rack.
