PLC-5 family member designation
channel 1B communication port; 
its default configuration is remote I/O scanner
channel 1B status indicator
(lights green and red)
Use this port with ASCII or DF1 full-duplex, half-duplex 
master, and half-duplex slave protocols. The port’s 
default configuration supports processor programming:
channel 0*25-pin D-shell serial port; supports standard 
EIA RS-232C and RS-423 and is RS-422A compatible
 one stop-bit
 BCC error check
 no handshaking
 DF1 point-to-point 
 2400 bps
 no parity
keyswitch; selects processor mode
channel 1A communication port; its default
configuration is DH+ communication
8-pin mini-DIN, DH+ programming terminal 
connection parallel to channel 1A
channel 2 Ethernet status indicator (green when 
functioning normally; red when not functioning)
channel 2 communication port;
a 15-pin Ethernet port
channel 2, Ethernet transmit indicator 
(green when the channel is communicating)
channel 1A status indicator
(lights green and red)
