14-12 SLC Passthru Communications
exceed the number of available outgoing connections. The passthru processor
will show up on the RSWho browse at node 128.
When channel 0 is configured for DH-485 and S:34/0=0, the SLC 5/05
passthru processor can be used by RSLinx to go online through channel 0 to
the channel 1 Ethernet network, as long as the PC running RSLinx is directly
connected to the DH-485 network through a 1784-KTX(D), -PKTX(D), or –
PCMK card. When RSWho is browsing the SLC 5/05 on DH-485 with
S:34/0=0, then a ‘+’ sign will appear to the left of the SLC 5/05 icon. Clicking
on the ‘+’ sign will expose an Ethernet network underneath the SLC 5/05
icon. The Ethernet network properties in RSWho must be modified to poll for
a block of entries within the range of 129 to 254 (the valid 5/05 passthru range
of addresses, which is 128 plus the Passthru Routing Table entry numbers of 1
to 126). The size of the block of entries must not exceed the number of
available outgoing connections. Clicking on the ‘+’ sign to the left of the
Ethernet network will result in RSWho browsing for those nodes on the
Ethernet network.
When channel 0 is configured for either DF1 Full-duplex, DF1 Half-Duplex
Master, DF1 Radio Modem (with S:34/5=1) or DH-485 (with S:34/0=0), the
SLC 5/05 passthru processor can be used by RSLinx to go online through
channel 1 to the channel 0 DF1 or DH-485 network, as long as the PC
running RSLinx is directly connected to the Ethernet network. The PC’s IP
address must be present in the Passthru Routing Table for RSLinx Ethernet to
channel 0 passthru to work. When RSWho is browsing the SLC 5/05 on
Ethernet with the AB_ETH driver, and channel 0 is either configured for
DH-485 with S:34/0=0 or for DF1 with S:34/5=1, then a ‘+’ sign will appear
to the left of the SLC 5/05 icon. Clicking on the ‘+’ sign will expose a DH-485
or DF1 network underneath the SLC 5/05 icon. Clicking on the ‘+’ sign to the
left of the DH-485 or DF1 network will result in RSWho browsing for nodes 0
to 31 on the DH-485 network or for node 1 on the DF1 network.
Refer to the steps on page 14-13 for browsing multiple nodes when channel 0
is configured for DF1 Half-duplex Master or DF1 Radio Modem.
