- Introduction
The applicom product uses the Full-Duplex DF1 protocol to connect transparently:
To the DH and DH+ network via the Allen-Bradley interface module reference 1770-KF2
See chapter.Configuration example of the Allen-Bradley module reference 1770-KF2
To the DH-485 network via the Allen-Bradley interface module reference 1770-KF3.
See chapter.Configuration example of the Allen-Bradley module reference 1770-KF3
To the console socket of Allen-Bradley PLCs in direct link.
The applicom product therefore supports the most widespread Allen-Bradley PLCs, namely:
The PLC-5, Logix5550 familys and the SLC5/04 on DH+.
The PLCs SLC500, 5/01, 5/02 and 5/03 on DH-485.
The PLC-5, Logix5550, MicroLogix familys and the SLC5/03, 5/04 and 5/05 PLCs on the RS232
socket of the processor.
The channel, configured in Allen-Bradley protocol, offers the following functionalities:
Client to access PLCs.
Server, compatible PLC-5, SLC500 and 5/0x, with no previous configuration.
The frames supported are in the two modes CLIENT and SERVER:
PLC-5 / Logix5550 range: Typed Read , Typed Write , Word Range Read , Word
Range Write and Read Modify Write .
5/0x / MicroLogix range: Protected Typed Logical Read with Three Address Fields and
Protected Typed Logical Write with Three Address Fields
Remarks in the case of Logix5550 :
The variables in the PLC should be arranged in files of type PLC-5
The server functionality is not available.
- Functionality
Woodhead
Several protocol configurations are allowed with the Allen-Bradley interface module and the
applicom card:
The formats: 110 to 19200 baud, with or without parity, 1 stop bit, 8 data bits.
The protocols: Full-Duplex BCC, Full-Duplex CRC, with or without included responses.

REMARK:
Caution, the bit write functions are not part of Allen-Bradley specifications. To force one or more
bits, the applicom software reads a word in the binary file, masks and forces the user bits, then
writes the complete word in the equipment. This mechanism can lead to random effects if the
equipment has forced other bits of the word between the read and the write.
The counters and timers are only available with the applicom library.
The counters and timers are not available with the Logix5550 PLC.

- Configuration
- Allen-Bradley DF1 => DH / DH+ / DH-485

Configuration of the applicom channel is identical for DH/DH+/DH-485 networks. The distinction
is made uniquely on the type of Allen Bradley interface module connected on the applicom channel.
The Allen Bradley module reference 1770-KF2 allows you to connect to a DH or DH+ network.
The distinction DH / DH+ is made by configuration of module 1770-KF2.
The Allen-Bradley module reference 1770-KF3 allows you to connect to a DH-485 network.
Electrical interface :
The interface module type is determined by the reference of the module installed on the applicom
interface or on the galvanic isolation option (BX4010, BX4010R).
You have then the following options:
RS232 (2 signals) (3RS232*, 5RS232*, 6RS232)
BC20 mA*
3RS485*
3RS485-4*
5RS485* or 6RS485
* : Not galvanically isolated. Isolation only ensured with option BX4010 and BX4010R.
- Configuration
Woodhead
For the module compatibility, you can refer to the Wiring/Output module compatibility section of
hardware installation manual.
RS232 (2 signals)(3RS232*, 5RS232*, 6RS232)
Means that only the TxD and RxD signals are exploited by the protocol task installed on the
channel. RTS, DTR, CTS and DCD signals can be accessed from the application by using
the applicom library GETMODEM and SETMODEM functions.
RS232 (6 signals)(3RS232, 5RS232, 6RS232)
Means that the protocol task installed at the channel level manages the signals.
- TxD and RxD for data transmission and reception.
- RTS, an output signal positioned by the applicom interface before each transmission.
- CTS, an input signal, must be active to allow transmission.
- DCD, an input signal, must be active to validate reception.
You can position the DTR output signal from the applicative program by using the
applicom library SETMODEM function.
You can query the CTS and DCD input signal status from the application program by using
the applicom library GETMODEM function.
The 6RS232 module ensures the galvanic isolation.
BC20 mA
Conductive 20 mA current loop. The active or passive operation is determined by wiring. If
active, see "5BC20 module characteristics" in wiring section of the Hardware installation
manual. The active operation should only be used if BX4010 and BX4010R boxes are used.
3RS485
2-wire RS485 link. The line prepolarization as well as the load resistance are wiringselectable.
Caution: Wiring is different from modules 3RS485-4 and 5RS485.
3RS485-4
4-prepolarized wire RS422 / RS485 link. The load resistance is wiring-selectable.
5RS485 or 6RS485
2 or 4-prepolarized wire RS422 / RS485 link. Load resistances are wiring-selectable. In
addition, the 6RS485 module ensures the galvanic isolation. Your interface must be
equipped for this type of PROM module V3.0 or higher.
Baud rate :
You must select a transmission speed comprised between 50 and 38400 bauds, independently on
each channel. This speed must be consistent with that of the equipments connected on the channel.
Parity control :
Addition or not of a parity bit. You must select the type of parity check.
- None
- Odd
- Even
Control character :
Used to define the type of Error check control character. This choice must be identical to that
configured on the Allen-Bradley communication module reference 1770-KF2 or 1770-KF3.
Time out
Maximum time separating the start of request transmission by the applicom DF1 client from the
server's response. The Time out trips uniquely if the Allen-Bradley module (1770-KF2 or 1770-KF3) has
acknowledged the request. From this moment if the equipment takes a greater time to reply to you, the
current function will return status 55 Message lost.
By default this time is set to 3 seconds.

Equipment configuration :
Equipment type Available:
This choice is used to select the type of remote equipment in order to use the
corresponding request format.
Absent:

PLC-5 or Logix5550 :

SLC or MicroLogix :
Equipment interrogated with requests in SLC format.
This dialog box is used to define up to 256 server equipments of applicom DF1 client.
Station number on the network :

The station number on the network can range from:
0 to 255
on DH
0 to 63
on DH+
0 to 31
on DH-485
Number of simultaneous questions :
This parameter allows you to adjust the maximum number of simultaneous requests
generated by the applicom DF1 client to server equipment.
This value is set to 1 by default and can range from 1 to 3.

- Item of image variables
- Presentation
The "item of image variables" are the syntaxes which allow to access to the variables through the
DDE server "pcdde" or the OPC server.
Report you to sections "DDE server/Principles regarding access to Data" or "OPC server/Data
Access Principle".
According to the configuration of the equipment, the descriptor is determined by default by the
server. In case of Allen-Bradley DF1 protocol, the default descriptor is Allen-Bradley descriptor.
You however have the possibility of using another descriptor (in particular the applicom standard
descriptor) by the means of the advanced options.
16
Woodhead
- Standard descriptor
The standard descriptor can be used for access to the equipments which have not specific
descriptors. The address field of the item name may be 10 digits long. It allows to compose a linear
address from 0 to 4 giga.

PCDDE, limits cannot never be superior than 128 for bits and bytes, 64 for words, 32 for double words
and floating words.
For more information on the limits in read and write, see :
Maximum number of variables per frame with PCDDE on page 5
Maximum number of variables per frame with OPC server on page 5
For variable addressing, refer to the chapter - Client functionality with Allen-Bradley Messaging on
page 3.

- Evolution / compatibility
This protocol necessitates on applicom interfaces a version EPROM minimum V3.6.
From version V3.3 :
Management of variables :
Input bits (I :y/z), output bits (O :y/z)
Input words (I :y), output words (O :y)
From version V3.4 :
Logix5550 and MicroLogix are supported.

6. - Return status of applicom functions

- Introduction
The various applicom functions return a status word that:
- Guarantees the request quality.
- Can be used to diagnose the cause of a failure.
The meaning of the status word value is detailed in the following tables. In addition to the general
meaning, "Further information" allows you to direct your diagnosis according to the protocol used.
