Allen-Bradley Allen-Bradley SLC 500 Setup for using an A-B SLC 500 Use the following procedure to ensure your target device is setup properly for the Allen-Bradley SLC 500. The procedure is in condensed format. Only the required settings are outlined. For additional details, see Creating a New Project beginning on page 3. Project Setup The drawing is a diagram of the Project Setup dialog box. Each button will display an additional dialog box. Many settings are options and are not required to establish communications. Verify the Project name and Display Device Model are correct. Leave the Initial Screen name blank.

The port values are automatically set to standard default values. See Serial Parameters on page 6. The following settings are recommended for AB SLC DH485. Elect. Format RS422 Half Duplex (When using the HMI-CAB-C83 Cable) or Elect. Format RS232 (When using the HMI-CAB-C84 Cable) Baud Rate 19200 Data Bits 8 Parity Even Stop Bits 1 Handshake None Protocol Button Click the Protocol button to display the dialog box associated with the selected PLC. The Source ID is the target display address on the DH485 network. The Destination ID is the PLC address where the target display will get variable data. The Maximum node ID is the highest available address on the DH485 network. The maximum ID should be set to the lowest possible number. Enter Timeout in seconds. Click OK to return to the Project Setup dialog box. Protected Files Processor files with Owner set cannot be written to by QUICKPANEL The Set and Clear Owner function allows a terminal to "own" one or more processor files on the network. Ownership means that as long as the owner is active on the network, other terminals can not access the on-line functions of the owned processor files. Note that only a programmer can own a node. In the following example, station 1 is owned by node 0. Notice station node 1 has a max. address 31 followed by a forward slash and then the ownership node. If you see this on the display, a QUICKPANEL cannot write to that station. You must clear the owner. 0 TCP (31) 1 5/02 (31/0) 2 Term (31) 3 Connecting to the SLC 500 A single point connection is simply one target display connected directly to the program port of a single SLC 500. This connection is made using the HMI-CAB-C83 cable. 12 • Allen-Bradley QUICKDESIGNER HMI-CAB-C83 Cable This cable connects the target display serial port to the Allen-Bradley SLC 500 Programming Port.

In addition, the SLC 5/03 and SLC 5/04 processors support DH485 communication via channel 0. The 9-Pin connector on the SLC 5/03 and SLC 5/04 processors is programmable. The SLC 5/03 and SLC 5/04 processors can be configured for port-to-port connection using the HMI-CAB-C52 cable. Channel 0 must be set up as a DH485 master. This configuration can only read/write variables in the local PLC. Since it is not dependent on network loading, this configuration will provide quick display updates. QUICKDESIGNER Allen-Bradley • 15 HMI-CAB-C52 Cable This cable is used to connect the target display to a SLC 5/03 and SLC 5/04 RS232 Channel 0 Port. A label is placed on each end of the cable to indicate which device should be connected to that end. One of the labels will also indicate the cable part number so you can quickly verify you are using the right cable for your application.

The Electrical Format must be set to RS232. 16 • Allen-Bradley QUICKDESIGNER SLC 5/04 Data Highway Plus Data Highway Plus implements peer-to-peer communication with a token-passing scheme to rotate link mastership among a maximum of 64 nodes. Since this method does not require polling, it helps provide time-efficient reliable data transport. The SLC 5/04 processor lets you operate DH+ communication protocol by means of the DH+ communication channel 1. The SLC 5/04 also supports full-duplex DF1 protocol using the DF1 channel 0. The 3-pin connector is for actual DH+ communication and the 8-pin connector is for monitoring DH+ communication. The DH+ LED provides an indication of the condition of the network communication. The color can be green or red. A steady on condition indicates the processor is actively communicating on the network. Flashing green indicates there are no active nodes on the network. Flashing red indicates there are duplicate nodes on the link with the same node address.
