process data on the plant floor.
RS-485 (DH-485), RS-232 / RS-422 (DF1) or Remote I/O Options.
Connect the DTAM Plus to the SLC family of processors via DH485, in
network or point-to-point modes or Remote I/O through a 1747-SN scanner.
Connect to the PLC family using Remote I/O or RS-232 / RS-422 DF1
through Channel 0 of PLC-5 processors.
8K or 40K Memory Capability. Supports up to 50 or 244 screens of data.
Recipe Operations. Recipe type functions allow operators to quickly
modify blocks of data. Download data to a maximum of 10 non-sequential
register addresses per screen. Link multiple recipe screens to download data
to more than 10 addresses.
Real Time Clock. 40K versions allow time stamping of critical reports and
displayed data.
Point-Access/Display Function. Allows you to monitor or modify data files
in SLC or PLC controllers. Use this function to setup and debug application
programs.
ASCII Input Capability. 40K versions allow the input of ASCII data, such
as decoded bar code data, through the RS-232 printer port.
PLC or SLC Controlled Screen Changes. Controllers can both monitor
and change the displayed screen.

Display
The 4 line by 20 character display uses either a Liquid Crystal Display
(LCD) with LED backlighting or a Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD).
You can adjust both the contrast and backlight levels on LCD displays using
the keypad. You can only adjust brightness on VFD displays.
Keypad
The keypad is a sealed unit with 25 tactile feedback keys. The VFD version
does not include the half moon brightness key so has 24 keys. The keys are
color coded for easy identification of key functions. The keypad is designed
for hand operation. Using any other object or tool may damage the overlay
or key.
LED Indicators
The front panel of the DTAM Plus has three indicators.
LED Indicator Color Indication
RUN Green Indicates proper operation of the DTAM Plus.
ALARM Red Indicates an alarm condition. The LED flashes on and off
until the alarm is acknowledged.
Function (F) Key Yellow Indicates the F (Function) key is active.
Note: DIP Switch SW-4 enables the F key.

Versions with Comm Port
The configurable communications port of the DTAM Plus supports RS-485
or RS-232. Use RS-485 to communicate with SLC processors over the
Allen-Bradley DH485 network as:
•one of 32 nodes on a multidrop network
•direct connection to a single SLC processor or the 1746-BAS module.
Communication via the 1746-BAS module provides direct backplane
access and faster data throughput.
Use RS-232 to communicate point-to-point DF1 to Channel 0 of the PLC-5
processors. You can also use RS-232 to download/upload DTAM Plus
application programs or to use the DTAM Plus in Terminal mode.
