➀
The DF1 Full-Duplex protocol can be used if the target device supports it. Such devices include MicroLogix
1000 controllers (any series), SLC 5/03, SLC 5/04 and SLC 5/05 processors, and PLC-5 processors (CIF
command type only).
➁
The DH-485 protocol can be used if the target device supports it. Such devices include MicroLogix 1000
controllers (except for Series A and B discrete controllers) and SLC 500, SLC 5/01, SLC 5/02, SLC 5/03, SLC
5/04 or SLC 5/05 processors.
➂
The DF1 Half-Duplex protocol can also be used with Series D or later discrete and all analog MicroLogix 1000
controllers, but a master is required, such as an SLC 5/03, SLC 5/04 or SLC 5/05 processor.
➃
SLC 500, SLC 5/01, and SLC 5/02 processors do not support O or I file access from a MSG instruction.
SLC 5/03, SLC 5/04 and SLC 5/05 processors do support O and I file access, but only when unprotected.
