Configuration Options

You can configure your programming device to communicate:

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

+

data

link

from a node on a DH

+

data link, bridged to a DH-485, DF1 full-duplex, or DH

+

data link

over a DF1 full-duplex data link with or without a modem

You can also configure your programming device to communicate using
INTERCHANGE drivers. The drivers allow the APS software to run in a DOS
Microsoft window and also allows multiple applications to simultaneously access
the same communication module or channel.

Having too many Windows applications opened at a time can impact the
performance of your computer. For optimum performance, reduce the number of
Windows opened at any one time or increase the performance of your personal
computer.

For example, you can select an Interchange DH

+

driver to allow APS and 6200

programming software to run simultaneously under Microsoft Windows using the
same 1784-KT Communication Interface Module. The drivers are available for
DH-485 and DH

+

networks (excluding the 1785-KA5 Communications Adapter

Module).

APS does not support the 1784-KTK1 card.
