A B Product Data Overview The DTAM Plus devices offer a highly functional operator interface to both Allen-Bradley PLC and SLC processors. This proven interface provides operators with the convenience and flexibility needed to monitor and manipulate process data from the plant floor. Connect the DTAM Plus to the SLC family of processors via DH8 network or point-to-point modes. You can also communicate remote I/O via a -SN subscanner. The PLC- family of processors can communicate via remote I/O or DF through Channel 0 RS-/RS-. Just a few features and benefits: 8K or 0K Memory Option Supports approximately 0 or screens of data. Screens display data table information, show alarm conditions and prompt an operator through a series of tasks. Monitors Continuous Changes in Process Data Alarm screens allow the operator to monitor critical areas of the data table, comparing actual data to preset limits. When an alarm condition occurs the operator is prompted to take immediate action. Recipe Function Allows an operator to modify blocks of data quickly. Data can be downloaded to a maximum of 0 non-sequential register addresses per screen. Multiple screens can be linked as part of one recipe. Available with an LCD or VFD Display Both display types feature a line x 0 character display window providing high reliability and superior readability in all light conditions. ASCII Input Capability Allows ASCII data input, such as bar code data, through the optional RS- printer port. Ability to Write the Screen Number back to the PLC Allows the PLC to know at all times where the user is in the menu structure.
DTAM Plus Options Various options are available when ordering the DTAM Plus. For example, the DTAM Plus is available with 8K or 0K memory, with backlit LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) or VFD (Vacuum Fluorescent Display) window, two power supply options, and a standard printer port and real time clock on 0K memory units.

Communications - RS-8 / RS- Versions RS-8 / Port Power Connector RS-8 / Port with Printer Port Power Connector RS-8 / RS- Connector (9 Pin Female) Printer Port RS- Connector (9 Pin Male) Communication Port RS-8 / RS- Connector (9 Pin Female) The configurable communications port of the DTAM Plus supports RS-8 or RS-C. RS-8 communications permit the DTAM Plus to communicate with SLC processors over the Allen-Bradley DH8 network, existing as one of the available nodes. RS-8 also supports point-to-point DH8 communication to either an SLC 00 processor, or to the 6-BAS Module. Communication via the 6-BAS module provides direct backplane communication and faster data throughput. RS-C communications are used to communicate point-to-point DF to Channel 0 of the PLC- processors. RS-C communications can also be used to download/upload DTAM Plus application programs, or for using the DTAM Plus in TERMINAL mode. The DTAM Plus supports the following parameters for RS-8 and RS-C communications: RS-8 and RS-C Communications Parameters Options Baud Rate 00, 00, 00, 800, 9600, 900, 800 Data Bits or 8 Parity Odd, Even, None The DTAM Plus supports RS- with a PLC- (DF protocol) when the communications port is set to RS-8.
