Configuring Channel 0
It is easiest to change the Channel 0 settings while online with the processor through
Channel 1, although it is possible to change the Channel 0 settings while
communicating through Channel 0.
You can also make changes to channel configurations offline and download the new
configurations as part of the ladder logic project.
!
If you are communicating through Channel 0, and you change the parameters for the
channel, communications will terminate. In this case, you will have to reconfigure
PLC-500 A.I. to communicate at the new settings.
If you are communicating through Channel 0, and you change Channel 0 to DF1
Half-Duplex Slave, DH-485 Master, or to User Mode, communications will terminate
and cannot be restored through Channel 0. In this case, you will need to use Channel
1 to communicate with the processor, or purge the processor’s memory and
reconfigure it.
You can configure Channel 0 to communicate using:
•
System Mode, DF1 Full-Duplex
•
System Mode, DF1 Half-Duplex Limited Master (except on SLC 5/03 OS300
processors)
•
System Mode, DF1 Half-Duplex Slave
•
System Mode, DH-485 Master
•
User Mode, Generic ASCII
To configure Channel 0:
1. Go online with the processor.
2. Make sure the processor is in Program or Remote Program mode. (You can access
the configuration screens in Run or Remote Run mode, but the processor must be
in Program or Remote Program mode to accept changes.)
3. From the Top menu bar, select [F8] Display .
