Connecting via a DH485 Link (PointtoPoint Configuration)
Figure 2.4 shows a point-to-point link consisting of a single SLC 500
programmable controller and one host computer station.

This configuration requires a KF3 and one link coupler. The SLC 500
controller is connected to the link coupler with a 1747-C11 cable. The
KF3 is connected directly to the link coupler. In this topology, both the
KF3 and the SLC 500 are end nodes.
Construct a cable to attach the DH-485 connector on the back of the
KF3 module to the link coupler. Figure 2.5 shows the connection for a
point-to-point DH-485 application. The shield ground could be at either
end, but must be at one end, and one end only.
