Communication Selection Flow Chart
1. Select the desired communication mode:
- Control serial port using RS-232 or RS-422
- DH+ network, indirectly to the control, through the PLC backplane
- [ESC], which leaves the current communications type unchanged
- PLC 5/10
- PLC 5/12
- PLC 5/15
- PLC 5/25
2. Select the driver type that ODS will use to communicate over the Data
Highway+. This must match the type of hardware or communications
software installed in the system. The default is 1784-KTK1 for IMC
controls, and INTERCHANGE for 9/Series CNCs using DOS or
Windows 95. For PCs using Windows NT, the default is RSLinx..
