The DL405 Data Communications Module (DCM) is a general purpose
communications interface for the DL405 family of Programmable Logic Controllers
(PLCs). This module is primarily used for three reasons.
As a network interface to a Direct NET network
As an extra general purpose communications port to connect a personal
computer or operator interface
As a network interface to a Modbus
The following pages provide an overview of these uses, along with the information
you need to connect the DCM.
