Configuring the SLC 500 Processor’s
Communication Channels Using a DF1 Driver
The SLC 500 processors used for the examples in this manual are
provided with an RS-232 serial port (Channel 0) and either a Data
Highway Plus port (SLC 5/04) or an Ethernet port (SLC 5/05) as
channel 1.
If you need access to your processor to configure the communications
channels you can connect the RS-232 port to a serial port on your PC
and use a DF1 driver to communicate with the processor.
You configure the DF1 driver using RSLinx software. You can then use
the DF1 driver with RSLogix 500 software to configure the processor’s
communications.
Configuring the DF1 Driver
Using RSLinx
To configure the DF1 driver perform the following steps.
1.
Start
RSLinx
. The RSLinx main window will open.
2.
From the
Communications
menu, select
Configure Drivers
as
shown above.
