Introduction to Programming PAL-1 With RC2014 In this section, we’ll set up communication for Programming the PAL-1 With an RC2014. Obviously, you can use a modern computer to program your PAL-1, or even it’s keypad. However, programming a vintage computer with another vintage processor gives you more of a vintage Read More »
Introduction to using RS232 on the RC2014 In this section, we’ll be using RS232 on the RC2014. In this case, I just purchased a generic module for this. There are several reasons we might want to use RS232. In my case, I wanted to communicate to a BASIC module on Read More »
Introduction: Connecting to the PAL-1 Computer When Connecting to the PAL-1 Computer, we need a straight serial cable. That is to say, pin 2 on one end of the cable connects to pin 2 on the other end. Pin 3 on one end, connects to pin 3 on the other Read More »
Introduction to the MAX232 for RS232 Communication In this section, we’ll set up a MAX232 for RS232 Communication. The MAX232 converts TTL, such as data from a microprocessor, to RS232. We power the MAX232 with 5V, then use charge pumps to increase the voltage for RS232. The charge pumps are Read More »
Introduction to Communicating with Micrologix 1000 While there are many methods for Communicating with Micrologix 1000, Here we will discuss the most common method. In this case, we will directly connect to the front port using DF1 (RS232) protocol. Other methods include communicating via NET-AIC, or going through a ControlLogix Read More »
Introduction to Serial Server over Ethernet There are many applications in which you need a Serial Server over Ethernet solution. You might have a serial device out on the plant floor, that you need to access remotely. One solution to this problem is a Serial over Ethernet server. Basically, you Read More »
