Setting Up a DH+ to RIO Block Transfer Pass Thru
Communications System
Chapter Objectives This chapter provides information for configuring a communication system that
uses DH+ to Remote I/O (RIO) Block Transfer Pass Thru. After you finish
reading this chapter, you will be able to perform the following tasks:
• Check your hardware installation.
• Configure RSLinx for DH+ to RIO Block Transfer Pass Thru
communications.
• Enter information into the DriveTools32 application’s Communication
Setup dialog box.
• Begin communicating with your drive.
What is a DH+ to
RIO Block Transfer
Pass Thru
Communications
System? A Data Highway Plus (DH+) to RIO Block Transfer Pass Thru communications
system lets your PC communicate with drive products using the PLC-5 RIO
Block Transfer Pass Thru mechanism.
Important: A DH+ to RIO Block Transfer Pass Thru communications system
also works with an SLC-500 family processor using a Series B 1747-SN RIO
scanner in slot 1.
The RIO Block Transfer Pass Thru mechanism requires that a drive be
connected to a PLC-5 as an RIO device on the PLC’s RIO network. You can
connect a drive as an RIO device using several different hardware options
depending on the drive type. These options include:
This drive: Requires that you use the hardware option:
1395 Node adapter (1395-KP50) or
multi-communications adapter (1395-KP51)
