The 1784-PKTX Card The 1784-PKTXD Card The 1784-PKTS Card
Use PCI technology to interface your PC or PC-based Hardware/Software Compatibility
controller to Data Highway Plus™, Data Highway
The PKTx family functions well with evolving
485 or remote I/O networks with Allen-Bradley’s
hardware and software platforms. Using Rockwell
1784-PKTx family. This family of PCI interface
Software’s RSLinx software, these cards operate
cards leverages PCI and plug and play technology.
within the Windows™ 95 and Windows NT
All three cards allow for the automation of base
platforms. Using the 6001-RIO RIO Toolkit and the
memory addresses and interrupt requests.
1784-PKTS, you can develop a remote I/O scanner
driver. If you are using MS-DOS, Windows 3.x, or
another operating system, you can design drivers for
DH+™ or DH485 applications using 1784-DP5
specifications.

The PKTx Family
40027
The 1784-PKTx Family
Catalog Number Description
1784-PKTS Single channel card supporting RIO scanner only
1784-PKTX Single channel card supporting DH+, RIO scanner,
and DH-485
1784-PKTXD Dual channel card supporting DH+, RIO Scanner,
and DH-485 on first channel, and DH+ and RIO
scanner on the second channel
PKTx Family Benefits Stock Fewer Parts
The PKTx family of interfaces helps reduce the quantity and variety
of PC interfaces you’ll need to support your Allen-Bradley control
system. A single product can now support three A-B networks—Data
Highway Plus, Data Highway 485 and remote I/O. This gives you
flexibility in stocking fewer parts.
The 1784-PKTS - Scanner-Only Features/Benefits
Interface • developed for applications using a personal computer for
monitoring Allen-Bradley I/O modules
• intended for use where PC-based control systems are needed

The 1784-PKTX - Selective Features/Benefits
Single Channel • provides a single channel for selective support of DH+, DH-
485, or remote I/O
• two physical communication ports associated with a single
protocol channel provide connections to networks
• can be configured to support a Man/Machine Interface
(MMI) operating on either DH+ or DH-485 networks, or as a
scanner module on the remote I/O network
The 1784-PKTXD - Dual Channels Features/Benefits
• divided into two channels which allows a personal computer
to function as though two individual interface cards were
installed and operating on its backplane
• each channel can support unique A-B communication
protocols, which can operate simultaneously and
independently
• single physical port associated with CH1 can be configured
to support DH+, DH-485 and/or remote I/O networks
• single physical port associated with CH2 can be used to
support an additional DH+ or remote I/O connection
• network interface diagnostics are provided by on-board LEDs
located on the outside of the module.
• works with applications where programmable controllers
must communicate with a MMI
• capable of configuring the one channel for DH+ and the
second channel for DH-485 which allows Windows 95-based
personal computers to run RSLinx software
• data can be collected from programmable controllers and
networks simultaneously

Developers Kit For third parties developing applications for MS-DOS and
Windows 3.x, or other operating systems, A-B provides
development software and documentation which includes DH+
and DH-485 binary and loader files.
A developer’s kit (catalog number DP-5), which includes a
diskette and documentation, is available for developing remote I/
O scanner interface drivers. In addition to binary and loader files,
the documentation provides examples of C code applications.
Diagnostic Software A diagnostic software program is included with the 1784-PKTX,
-PKTXD, -PKTS cards. The program performs a variety of tests
on the card, the host PC and the dual-port memory interfaces.
Software Compatibility RSLinx is PKTx-compatible and will operate on DH+ and/or DH-
485 networks. Refer to Rockwell Software Inc.’s “Software
Connection” for the latest list of compatible software products
and connectivity supported.
