Communicating with Devices on a DH+ Link 9-3
For proper operation, terminate both ends of a DH+ link by using the
external resistors shipped with the programmable controller. Selecting either a
150
Ω
or 82
Ω
terminator determines how many devices you can connect on a
single DH+ link.
Configuring the Channel
for DH+ Communication
Depending on the controller you are using, you can configure
these channels:
IMPORTANT
If you select the baud rate as 230.4 kbps, and you are using
the serial port or a PLC-5 coprocessor, use channel 2 for
better overall system performance.

To define the DH+ address and baud rate for channel 1A,
you must set switch assembly SW1 on the controller;
you cannot set this node address through the programming
software.
