Communication Options
The MicroLogix 1200 can be connected to a personal computer. It can
also be connected to a DH-485 network, or a Modbus™ network as an
RTU Master or RTU Slave using an Advanced Interface Converter
(catalog number 1761-NET-AIC) and to the DeviceNet™ network
using a DeviceNet Interface (catalog number 1761-NET-DNI). The
controller can also be connected to DF1 Half Duplex networks as an
RTU Master or RTU Slave. Series B controllers may also be connected
to serial devices using ASCII. See Chapter 4 Communication
Connections for more information on connecting to the available
communication options.
The 1762-LxxxxxR controllers provide an additional communication
port called the Programmer/HMI Port. This port supports DF1 Full
Duplex protocol only. The controller cannot initiate messages through
this port. It can only respond to messages sent to it. All
communication parameters are fixed and cannot be changed by a
user. See Default Communication Configuration on page 4-2 for the
configuration settings.
