➀ The DTAM Plus RS-485 port supports RS-422 communication with the PLC-5.
RS-422 communication is limited by the PLC to 19.2K baud and a distance of 200 feet (61 meters).

The operating system is selected when an application is created.
Applications are downloaded with the applicable operating system. If you
download an application that has a different operating system than the
current operating system in the DTAM Plus, you are prompted to download
the new operating system. Refer to Chapter 2 for additional information.

Communications Parameters

The communication settings of the DTAM Plus must be set to match the
