Setup For Using An A-B Slc 500 Df1 - Allen-Bradley SLC 500 Manual

Do NOT use this protocol with QP1 devices. It is designed to be used with
CAUTION
ONLY QP2 devices. For example, QPJ-2D100-L2P is a QP2 device.
The SLC 5/03 and SLC 5/04 processors let you operate DF1 communication protocol by means of the
RS-232 communication port, channel 0.
The 9-Pin connector on the SLC 5/03 and SLC 5/04 processors is programmable. The SLC 5/03 and
SLC 5/04 processors can be configured for port-to-port connection using the HMI-CAB-C52 cable.
Channel 0 must be set up for DF1 communication. This configuration can only read/write variables in
the local PLC. Since it is not dependent on network loading, this configuration will provide quick
display updates.
HMI-CAB-C52 Cable
This cable is used to connect the target display to a SLC 5/03 and SLC 5/04 RS232 Channel 0 Port.
Make sure the port is set to DF1 protocol.
