Data Highway Plus (DH+)
Network Communication
For DH+ network communication, use a 1756-DHRIO module in the
ControlLogix chassis to exchange information between these controllers:
• PLC and SLC controllers
• ControlLogix controllers and PLC or SLC controllers
• ControlLogix controllers
In addition to data exchange between controllers, the DH+ network also
provides the ability to regularly share data both plant-wide and at a cellular level.
You can connect a maximum of 32 stations to a single DH+ link:
• Channel A supports 57.6 Kbps, 115.2 Kbps, and 230.4 Kbps.
• Channel B supports 57.6 Kbps and 115.2 Kbps.
