Using a Modem
You can use modems to connect a personal computer to one
MicroLogix 1500 controller (using DF1 Full-Duplex protocol), or to
multiple controllers (using DF1 Half-Duplex protocol), or Modbus
Slave RTU protocol, as shown in the following illustration. Do not use
DH-485 protocol through modems under any circumstance. (See
Using Modems with MicroLogix 1500 Programmable Controllers on
page E-3 for information on types of modems you can use with the
MicroLogix controllers.)
Isolated Modem Connection
We recommend using an AIC+, catalog number 1761-NET-AIC, as
your optical isolator for Channel 0. See page 4-16 for specific AIC+
cabling information. Using an AIC+ to isolate the modem is illustrated
below:
