20.1 PLC Connection 20-11
EH-SIO
PORT1/PORT2
The following table shows the signal level and the communication protocol for each port. Other parameters (7 bits, 1 bit,
even) are fixed.
DIP switch 1/2
Set the baud rate for PORT1/2 using the DIPSW1/2 attached to the side of EH-SIO. For more information, refer to the PLC
manual issued by the manufacturer.
Ladder program
Make initial settings for the transmission control protocol and the station number.
For more information, refer to the PLC manual issued by the manufacturer.
Available Device Memory
The available setting range of device memory varies depending on the PLC model. Be sure to set within the range available for
the PLC to be used. Use [TYPE] when assigning indirect device memory for macro programs.
