To connect the DTAM Plus to an RS-232 device:

1. Make sure that the DTAM Plus is not connected to a voltage source.

2. Use the proper cabling to connect the DTAM Plus Comm port to the

port of the controller (PLC-5 channel 0 or SLC 5/03, 5/04 or 5/05
RS-232 port).

Use cable, Catalog No. 2707-NC3 for PLC-5 channel 0
connection.

Use cable, Catalog No. 1747-CP3 for SLC 5/03, 5/04 or 5/05
port connection. This cable requires a 9-pin female to male
gender adapter.

If you need to make your own cable, refer to the cable diagrams in
Appendix B of the DTAM Plus User Manual
(2707–UM001B–EN–P). The maximum recommended cable length
is 50 feet (15.2 meters).

3. Make sure that the communication parameters of the DTAM Plus

match the host device.

4. Apply power and verify that communications are established.

To connect the DTAM Plus terminal to an RS-485 device:

1. Make sure that the power to the DTAM Plus is off.

2. Use the proper cabling to connect the DTAM Plus communications

port to the port of the controller (PLC-5 channel 0 or SLC 5/03, 5/04
or 5/05 RS-232 port).

Use cable, Catalog No. 2707-NC4 for PLC-5 channel 0
RS-422 connection

Use cable, Catalog No. 2707-NC5 for PLC-5 channel 0
RS-232 connection. The 2707-NC5 cable converts the signals
from the RS-485 port to RS-232 levels.

Use cable, Catalog No. 1747-CP3 for SLC 5/03, 5/04 or 5/05
port connection

If you need to make your own cable, refer to the connection
diagrams in Appendix B of the DTAM Plus User Manual
(2707–UM001B–EN–P). The maximum cable length is 200 feet
(60.8 meters).

Important: The DH-485 network cable requires proper shielding,
grounding, and termination. Refer to Data Highway / Data Highway
Plus / Data Highway-485 Cable Installation Manual (1770-6.2.2).

3. The DH-485 connectors are not electrically isolated. If electrical

isolation is required, use Link Couplers (Catalog No. 1747-AIC).

!

ATTENTION: Electrical isolation using Link Couplers (Catalog
No. 1747-AIC) is required in applications where the distance
between the DTAM Plus terminal and the SLC is greater than 6.5
feet (2 meters).
