RSLogix DH-485 Node changing

[MUITECstudent 0]

Hello all: Sean and I have almost completed our DH-485 project. A final question: When you open a new MicroLogix 1000 PLC out of the box, it is set up for DF1 protocol. We know how to change it to DH-485 protocol using a handheld programmer. How do you change it using RSLogix? Basically, that is the final piece of the puzzle. We need to be able to plug the PLC into the PC, and switch it over to DH-485. Also, we need to be able to change the node value. How do you do this? many thanks: Teo & Sean Millersville ITEC students.

In RSLogix500, under the controller tab, is "Channel Configuration". Double click it and a dialog box will open will all the settings you need. Good luck,

Also worth noting, I'm pretty sure a Micrologix will automatically switch from DF1 to DH485 when it detects DH485 packets on the comm. channel.
