Allen-Bradley DH+ Interface Parameters
Note
When you configure an AB_PLC2, AB_PLC5, or AB_SLC500 for DH+,
Lookout
Direct
creates a file called
ALLBRAD.INI
. This file contains the configuration
settings that you enter for your KT card(s). If you plan to run the process file on a
Lookout
Direct
Runtime System, be sure to copy the INI file along with your process
(
.lkp
) file to the target computer.
The
1784-KT, 1784-KTx, 1784-PCMK, and S-S 5136-SD Interface
selections enable direct connection of your computer to a DH+ network.
The following illustration shows an AB_SLC500 configured for DH+
communications using a 1784-KTx card.
Card number selects which network interface card that the PLC is
connected to in case your computer has multiple KT or S-S cards.
Card DH+ node address
identifies the address of the interface card in the
DH+ network. Valid addresses range from 0 to 77 octal. The node address
of the card must be unique—that is, it must not be the same as the address
of any other device on the DH+ network.
Memory address specifies the base address location of the selected
interface card memory. Your selection should match the settings on the
card. If you are using multiple interface cards, be sure each card has a
unique address. The network interface cards use dual-ported memory.
