PLC Setting:
Communication mode DF1 Full Duplex protocol 19200, None, 8, 1 (default)

Allen-Bradley PLC-5 Family PLCs use DF1 Full Duplex protocol. For PLC-5/10, PLC-5/15 and PLC-5/25, MT8000 should be connected to the DF1 port on the 1785-KE module. For PLC-5/11, PLC-5/20, PLC-5/30 and PLC-5/40, MT8000 should be connected to the Channel 0 Port on the PLC.

Note:
The default error checking of Rockwell PLC5 is BCC, whereas our driver is CRC.

Access [Channel Configuration] from RSLogix5, under Channel 0 tab, please select CRC for [Error Detect].
