Allen-Bradley PLC-5 via Data Highway - Communication Settings

Board Type

For a KT, KTX, KTXD, or PKTX card, enter CIKT.

For a 5136-SD or 5136-SD-PCI card, enter SSTAB.

Address

For a KT board, enter the address of the card (e.g. 0xCC00).

For a KTX or KTXD board, enter the first two digits of the address of the card (e.g. 0xD0).

For a PKTX board, enter 0xFFFF.

For a PKTXD board channel A, enter 0xEEEA (0xEEEE)

For a PKTXD board channel B, enter 0xEEEB. The driver uses this to determine the type of card and then auto-detects the address. Do not append zeros.

For a 5136-SD board, enter the address of the card, which needs to lie on a 1K boundary (i.e. it can be changed in 0x0400 increments - e.g. 0xCC00).

For a Series 2 card the board address needs to lie on a 2K boundary (i.e. it can be changed in 0x0800 increments - e.g. 0xD800).

For a 5136-SD-PCI interface board, enter 0xFFFF. This value indicates that the board is a PCI board.

I/O Port

For a KT, KTX, KTXD, or PKTX board, enter a unique DH+ address in Octal (e.g. 0o77)

If using both channels of a PKTXD card, you should give each channel a unique address.

For a 5136-SD board, enter the I/O Port address of the card (e.g. 0x250).

For a 5136-SD-PCI board, leave this field blank.

Interrupt

For a KT, KTX or KTXD - and polling is not being used - enter the IRQ number set on the card.

For a PKTX card, leave this field blank

For a 5136-SD card, leave this field blank.

For a 5136-SD-PCI card, enter zero.

Special Options

For KT, KTX, KTXD, or PKTX ISA boards the following special options are available:
-bx specifies a board number. Use this only if more than one card is installed. The default is x=1.
Sn to select the speed on the Data Highway Plus network; n represents the speed required and is one of the following numbers:
n = 1 for 115 kbaud
n = 2 for 230 kbaud
The speed is set, by default, to 57 kbaud.

For KT, KTX, KTXD, or PKTX PCI boards the following special option is available:
Sn to select the speed on the Data Highway Plus network. n represents the speed required and is one of the following numbers:
n = 1 for 115 kbaud
n = 2 for 230 kbaud
The speed is set, by default, to 57 kbaud.

For the 5136-SD board the following special options are available:
-pN to set the Data Highway/Data Highway Plus address of the card to N. By default, N is a decimal value. If you need to specify the address as an octal value then N will take the format 0oXX where XX is the octal address.
-Sn to select the speed on the Data Highway Plus network. n represents the speed required and is one of the following numbers:
n = 1 for 115 kbaud
n = 2 for 230 kbaud
The speed is set, by default, to 57 kbaud.
-T to use 5136-SD-PCI interface card instead of ISA interface card.

For the 5136-SD-PCI board the following special options are available:
-pN to set the Data Highway/Data Highway Plus address of the card to N. N is, by default, in decimal format. If you wish to specify an octal value, use the format 0oXX where XX is the octal address.
-Sn to set the speed of the Data Highway Plus network, where n represents the speed, and is one of the following numbers.
n = 1 for 115 kbaud
n = 2 for 230 kbaud
The speed is set, by default, to 57 kbaud.

Port Number

A unique number for each port, starting from 1.

Baud Rate

Leave this field blank.

Data Bits

Leave this field blank.

Stop Bits

Leave this field blank.

Parity

Leave this field blank

Special Options

Leave this field blank.

I/O Device Address

Specify the PLC address as:

xKT:C[options],u

where:

x = the board number. If the number is not specified in the ports for then use 1.
C = the channel number, for example, KT card = 0, KTX card = 0 or 1.
u = the station number of the remote PLC in octal. Station numbers are between 0 and 77 (octal) for DH+ channels, and between 1 and 376 (octal) for DH channels.
[options] If required, you can use the Offlink Address options to allow communication with a station (PLC) that is not on the local link.

For example: 1KT:0,1 specifies Port ID 1KT for access to PLC Station 1 .

I/O Device Protocol

Enter ABTCP5.
