• RS-232C (EIA-232) electrical specifications.
• modem support.
• built-in isolation.
Protocol Options
EtherNet TCP/IP Protocol - Standard Ethernet, utilizing the TCP/IP
protocol, is used as the backbone network in many office and
industrial buildings. Ethernet is a local area network that provides
communication between various devices at 10/100 Mbps. This
network provides the same capabilities as DH+ or DH-485 networks,
plus:
• SNMP support for Ethernet network management.
• optional dynamic configuration of IP addresses by using a
BOOTP/DHCP utility.
• SLC 5/05 Ethernet data rate up to 40 times faster than SLC 5/04
DH+ messaging.
• ability to message entire SLC 5/05 data files.
• much greater number of nodes on a single network possible
compared to DH-485 (32) and DH+ (64).
Data Highway Plus (DH+) Protocol - The Data Highway Plus protocol
is used by the PLC-5 family of processors and the SLC 5/04 processor.
This protocol is similar to DH-485, except that it can support up to 64
devices (nodes) and runs at faster communication (baud) rates.
