processor and:
•
port PRT2
•
port PRT1
•
port DH485
•
the 1746-BAS or 1746-BAS-T module
Transferring Data Between the SLC Processor and Port PRT2
Use port PRT2 to interface the module with external devices sending ASCII code
(bar code decoders and printers) or DF1 packets (PLCs). The commands in the
following table are used to transfer data either to or from port PRT2.
