Communicating with Devices on a DH+ Link

Configuring the Channel for DH+ Communication

 

If you select the baud rate as 230.4 kbps, and you are using

IMPORTANT

the serial port or a PLC-5 coprocessor, use channel 2 for

 

 

 

better overall system performance.

 

 

For proper operation, terminate both ends of a DH+ link by using the external resistors shipped with the programmable controller. Selecting either a 150or 82terminator determines how many devices you can connect on a single DH+ link.

If Your DH+ I/O Link Operates at

you must set switch assembly SW1 on the controller;

 

 

 

you cannot set this node address through the programming

 

software.
