Configuring RSLinx for Serial Multi-Drop System

The Configured Driver in RSLinx is slightly different when configuring for
a RS-485 multi-drop system as opposed to a point-to-point system (single
drive).

1. Open RSLinx software.

2. From the Communications menu, choose Configure Drivers.

3. From the Available Driver Types pull-down menu, choose RS-232 DF1

devices.

4. Click Add New and enter a name.

5. Enter all settings as shown in the following image.

The Comm Port address will vary depending on the port that gets
assigned to the 1203-USB converter. In this example, the 1203-USB
converter is connected to COM3.
