computer with the BASIC development software to the module across
a DH485 network.
DH485 Cable Requirements Use the 1747-C10 cable, 1747-C11 cable, or 1747-C13 cable to
interface port DH485 of the module with a 1747-AIC link coupler. Use
the DH485 communication cable, Belden #9842, to interface between
the link couplers on the DH485 network.
Refer to the SLC 500 Modular Style Programmable Controller User
Manual, publications 1747-UM011, for additional information on
DH485 cables.
Components Required for
DF1 Communication Your module may use DF1 to communicate with external devices.
The DF1 driver is accessed through port PRT2. The module
communicates with the external devices using a:
• leased phone line.
• radio link.
• dial-up modem.
Refer to the following sections for additional information on these
components.
IMPORTANT
When using the BASIC development software to
interface with the module through the 1747-PIC, the
BASIC development software must be configured for
DH485 communication through the configuration
and terminal selection menus. Refer to the BASIC
Development Software Programming Manual,
publication 1746-PM001, for additional information.
