Configuring the SLC 5/03 and SLC 5/04 Processors for
Online Communication
The SLC 5/03 and SLC 5/04 processors offer an extensive selection of
communication options. (For more information on these options, see the Instruction
Set Reference Manual.) APS provides channel configuration screens that allow you
to set the communication parameters instead of using the status file. Pressing a
function key immediately applies your communication parameters instead of cycling
power to apply your communication parameters.
Using an SLC 5/03 or SLC 5/04 Processor with Channel 0 Configured
(RS-232)
The APS version 5.0 and later supports RS-232 communication directly from
channel 0 of the SLC 5/03 or SLC 5/04 processor. (The APS version 4.0 supports
RS-232 communication only from an SLC 5/03 processor.) Connecting a modem to
your DF1 COM channel allows you to connect your SLC 5/03 processor to a remote
APS terminal. APS can dial out; however, the SLC 5/03 and SLC 5/04 processors
do not have the capability to dial out. We recommend that your modem have the
auto answer feature. For more information about RS-232 communication and
modems, refer to the Installation and Operation Manual for Modular Hardware
Style Programmable Controllers, Publication 1747-6.2.
You can also connect APS to the SLC 5/03 processor directly using a null-modem
serial cable (Catalog Number 1747-CP3) from your personal computer’s serial port
to channel 0.
