The DTAM Micro interfaces with the PLC-5 and SLC 500 family of
processors. The DTAM Micro allows operators to monitor and manipulate
process data on the plant floor.
RS-232 or RS-485 Port. The DTAM Micro has either an RS-232 port
(Catalog No. 2707-M232P3) or an RS-485 port (Catalog No. 2707-M485P3).
The RS-232 port allows point-to-point connections with a PLC-5 or SLC
5/03, 5/04, 5/05. The RS-485 port provides network or point-to-point
capability with a PLC-5 (over RS-422), SLC or other DH485 device.
Memory Capability. Storage of the PLC-5 DF1 or SLC DH-485 driver
(communications protocol), configuration information, and user-programmed
screens are maintained in nonvolatile memory providing storage for
approximately 244 screens.
Recipe Operations. Recipe type functions allow operators to quickly
modify blocks of data. Download data to a maximum of 10 non-sequential
register addresses per screen. Link multiple recipe screens to download data
to more than 10 addresses.
Flexible Function Key Operations. Eight function keys provide a
convenient way to trigger screen displays and change display screens.
Point-Access/Display Function. Allows you to monitor or modify data files
in SLC or PLC controllers. Use this function to setup and debug application
programs.
