maximum network segment of 1,219 m (4,000 ft.)
The DH-485 protocol supports two classes of devices: initiators and responders.
All initiators on the network get a chance to initiate message transfers. To
determine which initiator has the right to transmit, a token passing algorithm is
used.
Control of message transfers on the DH-485 network is performed by rotating
the token along the nodes on the network. A node holding the token can send a
message onto the network. Each node is allowed a fixed number of transmissions
(based on the Token Hold Factor) each time it receives the token. After a node
sends a message, it passes the token to the next device.
The allowable range of node addresses is 1…31. There must be at least one
initiator on the network (such as a MicroLogix controller, or an SLC 5/02 or
later processor).
DH-485 Configuration Parameters
When MicroLogix communications are configured for DH-485, the following
parameters can be changed:
See Software Considerations on page 215 for tips on setting the parameters listed
above.
