Understanding the Communication Protocols
D–3
DF1 Full-Duplex Protocol
DF1 Full-Duplex communication protocol combines data transparency (ANSI —
American National Standards Institute — specification subcategory D1) and 2-way
simultaneous transmission with embedded responses (subcategory F1).
The MicroLogix 1000 controllers support the DF1 Full-Duplex protocol via RS-232
connection to external devices, such as computers, the Hand-Held Programmer
(catalog number 1761-HHP-B30), or other MicroLogix 1000 controllers. (For
information on connecting to the Hand-Held Programmer
, see its user manual,
publication 1761-6.2).
