In this chapter, we give you an overview of the 1785-KE module and how
it interfaces with a Data Highway Plus network.
The 1785-KE module is a communication interface that links an intelligent
RS-232-C (asynchronous) device to an Allen-Bradley Data Highway Plus
network. The 1785-KE gives you a choice of
full duplex
(unpolled) or
half duplex
(polled) protocol on its asynchronous link.
