Configuring the DH+
Communications Channel
Configuring DH+ Communications
Appendix D
Before you can communicate with the SLC 5/04 processor over a DH+
network, the processor’s DH+ communications channel (Channel 1)
must be compatible with your network. The SLC 5/04 processor’s
default Channel 1 settings are:
Driver DH+
Baud Rate 56.7K
Node Address 1
If you need to change the Channel 1 settings on your processor you
can do this a couple ways:
• If you are also interfacing your processor to a ControlNet
network via a 1747-KFC15 module, you can configure the DH+
communications via the ControlNet network. See chapter 6 for
information on going online to the processor over a ControlNet
network.
• If you are not interfacing your processor to a ControlNet
network you can configure the communications via the
processor’s RS-232 port (channel 0) using a DF1 driver (see
Appendix F).
The following procedure describes how to configure the DH+ channel
using RSLogix 500 software:
1. Start RSLogix 500 and go Online with your SLC 500 processor,
using either your ControlNet driver or your DF1 driver.
2. In the Project window, double-click on Channel Configuration
under the Controller folder.
