B–2 RS-232 Communication Interface
Publication
1747-6.2
The RS-232 channel on the SLC 5/03, SLC 5/04, and SLC 5/05
processors supports four protocols:
• Full-Duplex DF1 (default)
• Half-Duplex DF1 (SCADA)
• DH-485
• ASCII Communications
The SLC and PLC products detailed in this appendix that
communicate over the RS-232 communication interface also use the
DF1 serial communication protocol. DF1 protocol delimits
messages, controls message flow, detects and signals errors, and
retries after errors are detected.
The SLC 5/03, SLC 5/04, and SLC 5/05 processors can
communicate by means of the RS-232 communication port,
channel 0. Channel 0 supports DF1 full-duplex protocol and DF1
half-duplex master and slave protocol, DH485 protocol , as well as
ASCII communications. Refer to your programming software user
manual for information on configuring the RS-232 communication
port, channel 0.
The details of the DF1 protocols can be found in the DF1 Protocol
and Command Set Reference Manual, Publication Number
1770-6.5.16.
Channel 0 provides a minimum of 500V dc isolation between the I/O
signals and the logic ground of the SLC 5/03, SLC 5/04, and
SLC 5/05 processors. The channel is a 9-pin D-shell. The table
below provides a description of each of the pins.
Pin Pin Name
1 DCD (Data Carrier Detect)
2 RXD (Receive Data)
3 TXD (Transmit Data)
4 DTR (Data Terminal Ready)
5 COM (Common Return [Signal Ground])
6 DSR (Data Set Ready)
7 RTS (Request to Send)
8 CTS (Clear to Send)
9 NC (No Connection)
The D-shell is the bottom port on the SLC 5/03, SLC 5/04, and
SLC 5/05 processors.
