Configuration for Online
Communications

Before you can download or go online with a SLC 500 or MicroLogix processor, you

must configure PLC-500 A.I. to communicate. This involves telling PLC-500 A.I.

specifics about your communication hardware such as the interface type, network

address, baud rate, etc. These parameters will vary depending on the type of interface

you are using. For the SLC 5/03 and 5/04, you may also need to configure

communication channels (CH1 and CH0). Channel configuration will be covered in

the following chapter.

You can configure your programming device to communicate:

with a single processor, or a network of processors on DH–485

with a single processor, or a network of processors on DH+

from a terminal on a DH

+

network through a 1785-KA5 module to a processor on

a DH–485 network

from a terminal on an Ethernet network through a 5820-EI module to a processor

on a DH–485 or DH+ network

under Windows through WINtelligent™ LINX™

on RS–232 (DF1) to a 1770-KF3 module (DH-485), 1770-KF2 module (DH+), or

Ch0 (SLC 5/03 and 5/04 processors only)
