If RS232C is used for panel/PLC connection, follow the same steps above, only
set RS232C as the PLC and RS422 as Not Used.
3. Connect the PLC to the panel through the proper cable below. For cable
pinouts, see page A15.

Unfortunately, there is no easy way to configure/program
the AB PLCs at the same time as the DirectTouch panel.
NOTE: Use two different PC comm ports, for AllenBradley, one to the panel and
one for programming the PLC. Using a single port for both causes conflicts.

3. For SLCs: Connect the AB PLC (bottom port) to the DirectTouch panel through
the DPABCBL1 cable.
3. For Micrologix: Connect the AB PLC (only port) to the DirectTouch panel
through the DPABCBL2 cable.
NOTE: For Micrologix PLCs, set the Error Detection to CRC!

The Programming
Cable
(DPPGMCBL)
Regardless of which PLC is used with the panel, the programming cable
(DPPGMCBL) is used to connect the panel to the personal computer.
Connect the programming cable (DPPGMCBL) between the serial port (CH1) of
the DirectTouch panel and the serial port of the personal computer.The figure below
shows programming cable connectors and wiring specifications. Wiring diagrams
refer to the communication ports.

It is important to understand the installation requirements for our operator interfaces. Sometimes the size
alone can dictate your choice of unit. This is especially true with respect to the depth of the unit. Please make
sure you consider the space required for proper access to cables, power wiring, etc. Also, you may need to
consider the environmental requirements, agency approvals, etc. for your particular application.
