To connect the DTAM Plus to an RS-232 device:
1. Make sure that the DTAM Plus is not connected to a voltage source.
2. Use the proper cabling to connect the DTAM Plus Comm port to the port
of the controller (PLC-5 channel 0 or SLC 5/03 RS-232 port).
•
Use cable, Catalog No 2707-NC3 for PLC-5 channel 0 connection.
•
Use cable, Catalog No. 1747-CP3 for SLC 5/03, 5/04, 5/05 port
connection.
This cable requires a 9-pin female to male gender adapter.
If you need to make your own cable, refer to the cable diagrams in
Appendix B. The maximum recommended cable length is 50 feet
(15.2 meters).
3. Make sure that the communication parameters of the DTAM Plus match
the host device.
4. Apply power and verify that communications are established.
