DH+ Link

A DH+ link is similar to a DH link, but is optimally used for smaller
networks consisting of limited nodes (about 15 maximum). A DH+
link accepts 64 devices and can transmit data at 57.6, 115.2, or
230.4K bits. (PLC-5/250, SLC, and PLC processors support 57.6
and 115.2K bits; SLC 5/04 processors support 230.4K bits; PLC-5
processors are expected to support 230.4K bits early in 1997.)

This processor

Connects to a DH+ link

PLCĆ2

through the PLCĆ2 Family Interface module

(cat. no. 1785ĆKA3)

PLCĆ3

through the I/O Scanner Communication Adapter module

(cat. nos. 1775ĆS5,ĆSR5)

PLCĆ5

directly

PLCĆ5/250

through the Resource Manager module

(cat. nos. 5130ĆKA, ĆRM1, ĆRM2)

SLC 5/04

directly

You can configure the data rate for SLC 5/04 processors.

A DH+ link implements peer-to-peer communication with a
token-passing scheme to rotate link mastership among the nodes
connected to that link.
