Limitations of Remote DH-485 Messaging

Remote DH-485 messages are encapsulated in CIP messages and sent on CIP

connections when they are sent across ControlNet, EtherNet/IP, and the

ControlLogix chassis backplane. Although this is transparent to the user, there

are resource limits associated with CIP on the 1756-DH485 module.

The 1756-DH485 module supports up to 32 CIP connections. These

connections are made when devices want to send a DH-485 message out of a

1756-DH485 module’s DH-485 channel. The 1756-DH485 module makes

these connections when it receives DH-485 message traffic. The 1756-DH485

module recovers connections if they are not being used.

Because of the various paths involved, the 1756-DH485 module responds to

‘out of connections’ in one of the following ways:

• The 1756-DH485 module may generate a Routing Error on DH-485 for

DH-485 message requests if there are no connections available.

• The Message Originator may generate an application timeout if a remote

1756-DH485 module has no connections available for a DH-485

Message response.

For more information on application timeouts, refer to Application

Timeout on page 3-12.

• The Message Originator may receive an ‘out of connections’ error if the

path from the originator to the 1756-DH485 module is a ControlLogix

chassis, a ControlNet network, or an EtherNet/IP network.
