PM9605 Revision 1, 9605 Version 36.1.1
Appendix A: Communication Basics
The 9605 communicates with the Allen-Bradley SLC-500 processor using the Data Highway Plus (DH+) network.
The 9605 can communicate on the DH+ network along with other 9605's, other Quartech peripherals,
Allen-Bradley's programming software, other programmers, and any other device that strictly follows the SLC-500
DH+ protocol. Several Quartech peripherals and a programming device may communicate with a single SLC-500
at the same time. The 9605 can communicate with any one, but only one, SLC-500 at any time. The operator
cannot select between multiple SLC-500's that may be on the network.
The physical connection between the 9605 and SLC-500 processor is through the Three position terminal block.
The 9605 provides both a nine pin D-type connector and a three position terminal block for making the physical
connection. In either case the communication cable must be twinaxial cable (Belden type 9463 or equivalent).
When multiple devices are to share the Data Highway Plus network the physical data highway cabling must
conform to specific rules. For in-depth information please refer to the Allen-Bradley Data Highway Cable Assembly
and Installation Manual (Publication 1770-6.2.1).
The example on the following page shows the physical cabling for a system having one SLC-500 processor, two
Quartech 9605 Pushbutton Stations, and a programming device.
