Entering DTAM Configuration Data
14–11
When using AB DH485 or AB BASIC protocols, you must specify the
operating parameters that allow the DTAM Plus or DTAM Micro to
communicate with the SLC controller. The DTAM settings must match the
settings of the SLC or DH-485 network. If you are communicating with a
PLC-5, refer to the next section PLC Hardware Parameters.
When you select SLC Hardware Parameters from the DPS Configuration -
Option Selection menu, the following is displayed:
