Overview
The DF1/ABTCP device object in AutoSol Communication Manager® (ACM) can communicate with DF1 devices or any device that supports the DF1/ABTCP protocol. This user guide only covers specific information unique to DF1/ABTCP devices for real time data collection.
Supported Devices
The DF1/ABTCP protocol module can communicate with the Allen-Bradley® 1774-PLC, PLC-2, PLC-5 (excluding the PLC-5/250), PLC-5/VME, SLC-5/03, SLC-5/04, SLC-5/05, MicroLogix® 1200, 1500, and ControlLogix®. Other devices that use the same command function codes may also be supported.
Supported Features
The DF1/ABTCP protocol module provides support for reading from and writing to elements and sub-elements in any file in the device including the input, output, and status files. Version 4.1.0 and later support multi-bit reads for the PLC-5, SLC-5/03, /04, /05, PLC-2, 1774-PLC, MicroLogix® 1200, 1500, and ControlLogix®. Version 4.1.0 and later also support multi-bit writes for the PLC-5, PLC-2 and 1774-PLC. Version 4.1.6 and later support bit writes and multi-bit writes for the SLC-5/03, /04, /05. Version 4.2 and later support Word range write function, Word range read function, and Bit writes function for PLC-5. Version 4.2 and later also supports logical American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) addressing.
