a 1779-KP5 module.
Nodes on Data Highway II cannot access a computer connected to Data
Highway Plus.
A 1784-T50 on a Data Highway Plus link cannot program devices on
another Data Highway Plus link through the 1779-KP5.
A computer on a Data Highway II, however, can access a PLC on Data
Highway Plus through a 1779-KP5.

Chapter 2
Overview of the
1779KP5 Module
You cannot connect nodes to Data Highway Plus links that are part of a
bridge configuration. Also, make sure that both 1779-KP5 modules in a
bridge configuration assign the same link number to the Data Highway
Plus link.
You can also assign a link number to a Data Highway Plus link that is not
part of a bridge configuration. This would allow you to address up to
64 nodes on the Data Highway Plus link, instead of the 15 node limitation
when you do not assign a link number. If you choose to assign a link
number, however, you must also use station-management commands to
set communication routes on your network. For more information on
addressing, refer to Chapters 4 and 5.
You set the address for a link using switches on the 1779-KP5. For
information on how to set the link number on a 1779-KP5, refer to the
switch-setting information in Chapter 3.
How the 1779KP5 Routes
Messages to Other Data
Highway II Links
When you use a 1779-KP5 in a bridge configuration, you must set
switches on the module to enable route updates.
When you enable route updates, the 1779-KP5 module sends a route
update message onto the network. This update message tells other
Series B modules on the network which links are accessible through the
1779-KP5 that sent the message. The route update also specifies the
number of “hops” or bridges that a message must travel through to reach
each link.
The following example shows a typical bridge configuration example:
Link 10Link 4Link 8
1779KP5
Node 20Node 30
Data Highway Plus
1779KP5
Data Highway IIData Highway II
16486
26
In the previous example, the 1779-KP5 on Link 8 (Node 30) broadcasts a
route update to the 1779-KP5 on Link 10 (Node 20). This route update
tells Node 20 where to forward all messages bound for Link 8. Node 20
forwards this route update information to any other Series B modules on
Link 10. By forwarding the route information, the other Series B modules
Chapter 2
Overview of the
1779KP5 Module
on Link 10 know that in order to reach a device on Link 8, they must
route the message through Node 20.
Node 20 also broadcasts its route update message to Node 30. Node 30
broadcasts the message to Series B modules on Link 8. This tells the
Series B modules on Link 8 that in order to reach a device on Link 10,
they must route the message through Node 30.
Once your system is running, your Series B 1779-KP5 modules (in bridge
configuration) will automatically forward route updates to all remote Data
Highway II links.
Important: Data Highway II PLC-2 Family interfaces
(Cat. Nos. 1779-KP2, -KP2R) and PLC-3 Family Interfaces
(Cat. Nos. 1779-KP3, -KP3R) do not currently support communication
between Data Highway II links. Data Highway II Asynchronous-Device
Interfaces (Cat. Nos. 1779-KFL, -KFLR) and Synchronous-Device
Interfaces (Cat. Nos. 1779-KFM, -KFMR) must be Series B, Revision A
or later to support communication between Data Highway II links.
1779KP5 Diagnostic Tools
Asynchronous-Device Interfaces and Synchronous-Device Interfaces
provide station-management and node-management commands for the
network layer. For more information, refer to your 1779-KFM, -KFMR
or 1779-KFL, -KFLR documentation.
The 1779-KP5 provides the following types of troubleshooting tools:
LEDs for diagnosing the 1779-KP5.
Replaceable circuit boards for testing and repairing the module.
Diagnostic counters and status bytes you can access from a computer to
help monitor the performance on your network.
For more information on the 1779-KP5 diagnostic tools, refer to
Chapter 6.

Guidelines for Mounting the
1779KP5
This chapter provides procedures for:
Mounting the 1779-KP5
Setting the Data Highway II Node Address for the 1779-KP5
Setting Option Switches on the 1779-KP5
Connecting Communication Cables to the 1779-KP5
Connecting Power and Ground to the 1779-KP5
Powering Up the 1779-KP5
You mount the 1779-KP5 in an enclosure. The temperature of the air at
any point directly below the module must not exceed 60
Otherwise, the failure rate of semiconductor devices may increase
significantly.
The temperature tends to be higher toward the top of the enclosure. In
addition, the following factors affect the temperature in an enclosure:
The Size of the Enclosure (Smaller enclosures heat up faster.)
How Much Heat Is Being Dissipated in the Enclosure
The Temperature of the Air Surrounding the Enclosure
o
C (140oF).
Heat dissipation includes not only the heat dissipated through the power
supplies for your equipment but also the heat dissipated through input and
outputcircuits.
To allow necessary air flow for cooling of components, refer to the
example shown in Figure 3.1 and follow these rules:
Provide six inches minimum vertical separation and four inches
horizontalseparationbetweencomponents.
Provide six inches minimum vertical separation between a chassis and
the top or bottom of the enclosure.
Provide four inches minimum horizontal separation between chassis
and to enclosure sides.
If you have excess space in the enclosure, leave it at the top of the
enclosure where the temperature is higher.
Mount wiring ducts, taps, and terminal strips no closer than two inches
from any chassis.

Set these thumbwheels to designate the node address of the 1779-KP5 for
both Data Highway II and Data Highway Plus. The top thumbwheel
represents the most significant digit (MSD). Set this digit to zero, since
the highest address available to a Data Highway Plus node is 077 (octal).
The bottom two thumbwheels do not go past the digit seven because the
address must be an octal number. Each node on your network must have
a unique address.
Important: The 1770-T3 industrial terminal (for the PLC-2) cannot
communicate with Addresses 000 through 007 and Addresses 100 through
107 (octal). If you have PLC-2s on your Data Highway II network, you
may not want to use these node addresses.

Installing the 1779KP5 Module
Setting the Option Switches
There are three sets of switches (labeled S-2, S-4, and S-5) on the
1779-KP5 host board. Use the following procedure to access these
switches:
CAUTION: Electrostatic discharge can degrade performance or
cause permanent damage to the module. To minimize or
prevent electrostatic discharge damage, handle the module at a
static-safe workstation.
If a static-safe workstation is not available, touch and remain in contact
with a grounded object to discharge yourself while handling the module.
1.Make sure that you remove all power to the module. Usually, you
remove power to the 1779-KP5 by locking open the main disconnect
switch on your enclosure.
2.Loosen the four fasteners on the front panel of the module. Pull the
removable frame out to the switch-setting position. This exposes the
switch assemblies.

contain:
Guidelines for Power Distribution
A Procedure for Connecting Power and Ground to the Terminal Block
314
PowerDistribution Guidelines
Allen-Bradley power supplies have circuits that suppress electromagnetic
interference from other equipment. For installations near particularly bad
electrical noise generators, an isolation transformer can provide further
suppression of electromagnetic interference from other equipment.
In applications where the AC power source is subject to unusual
variations, a constant-voltage transformer can stabilize the AC power
source to the interface, thereby minimizing shutdowns.
Chapter 3
Installing the 1779KP5 Module
To provide AC power isolation between the 1779-KP5 and other
equipment, connect a separate transformer between the module’s power
supply and the AC power source. Connect the:
Transformer primary to the AC source.
High side of the transformer secondary to the L1 terminal of the power
supply.
Low side of the transformer secondary to the L2/N terminal of the
power supply.
The 1779-KP5 consumes 50 watts of power. To determine the required
rating of the transformer, multiply the power requirements of the
Allen-Bradley power supplies by 2.5 and add all other power
requirements (input circuits, output circuits). Take into consideration the
surge currents of devices controlled by the controller when determining
power requirements. The minimum transformer rating requirement for
the 1779-KP5 interface is 125 VA.
The 115V AC power supplies on Allen-Bradley modules are designed to
shut down whenever the AC line voltage drops below 85V. The power
supply allows the interface to resume operation when the line voltage
reaches 85V again. The 230V AC power supplies on Allen-Bradley
modules shut down at 170V AC.
If the transformer is too small, it clips the peak of the sine wave before the
voltage drops below 85 volts. The power supply senses this as a low
voltage and shuts down the interface prematurely.
Connecting Power and Ground to the Terminal Strip
1.Make sure that you remove all power to the enclosure. Usually, you
remove power by locking open the main disconnect switch on your
enclosure.
WARNING: Do not connect power to the power terminals
without first removing power from the enclosure. Otherwise,
you may be injured by electrical shock.

3.Connect the L2/N terminal to the low side of the transformer
supplying the AC power. Then connect the L1 terminal to the high
side of the transformer supplying the AC power.
4.Install the terminal cover (supplied with your module) over the
terminal block.

A Data Highway Plus Link Using Local Link Addressing (Link = 0)
Another Data Highway II Link Using Remote Link Addressing
(Link > 0)
A Data Highway Plus Link Using Remote Link Addressing (Link > 0)
The 1779-KP5 does not support Data Highway II time-critical commands
because these commands are not supported by Data Highway Plus. The
1779-KP5 rejects time-critical commands and returns an error reply to the

The 1779-KP5 replies to the following diagnostic commands from a Data
Highway II node:

The 1779-KP5 does not contain Data Highway II diagnostic counters.
This is because Data Highway II counters are application layer counters
and the 1779-KP5 does not provide application layer functions.

Addressing a Data Highway Plus
Node Using Local Addressing
You use local addressing to communicate with a node on a local Data
Highway Plus link. A local Data Highway Plus link:
Is directly connected to the Data Highway II link you are
communicating from.
Has a link value of zero.
Figure 4.1 shows an example of a configuration which uses local

Important: A computer on Data Highway Plus cannot address a node on
a remote link such as Data Highway II.
When you use local addressing to address a Data Highway Plus node, you
can only use Addresses 01 through 20 (octal) on the Data Highway Plus
link.
When you use local addressing, you use the LINK, NODE, and USER
fields to specify the node address.
The LINK value is always zero for local commands.
42
Chapter 4
Addressing from Data Highway II
The NODE value for each Data Highway Plus node is the same as the
node address of the 1779-KP5 it is connected to (between 01 and
77 octal). Refer to Chapter 3 for information on setting the node address
of a 1779-KP5 using the thumbwheels on the front panel.
For example, if the NODE value of the 1779-KP5 is 50 (octal), the NODE
value of each Data Highway Plus node connected to it is also 50.
The USER value is the Data Highway Plus node address. The USER
value must be between two and 20 (octal).
The 1779-KP5 reserves USER 01 to identify itself to nodes on Data
Highway II. You can still use Data Highway Plus Address 01 (the
1784-T50 default address), but Data Highway II nodes will not be able to
communicate to this Data Highway Plus node.
For example, a Data Highway Plus node, Address 15 (octal), connected to
the 1779-KP5 at:
LINK
00
NODE
50
would have the Data Highway II address:
LINK
00
NODE
50
USER
15
Important: Due to PLC-2 address limitations, the USER value you use
when sending a command from a 1779-KP2 does not equal the Data
Highway Plus address. For more information, refer to the following
section on PLC-2 addressing. If you are using a 1779-KP2 to
communicate to Data Highway Plus, make sure that the 1779-KP5 node
address is not 00 to 07. The 1770-T3 terminal cannot communicate to
these addresses.
The following sections provide guidelines for addressing Data Highway
Plus nodes from Data Highway II using local addressing.
43
Chapter 4
Addressing from Data Highway II
Addressing Data Highway Plus from a PLC2
To send a message from a PLC-2 (1779-KP2) on Data Highway II to a
Data Highway Plus node, you use the following address format in the
communication zone of your ladder-logic program (NNN = Node,
UUU = User):
NNNUUU
=
The 1779-KP2 does not support the network layer. The LINK value is
automatically 00 (local link).
The NODE value is the node address of the 1779-KP5 that connects you
to the destination Data Highway Plus link (the link that contains the node
you want to communicate with).
The PLC-2 USER value is determined differently than for other nodes on
Data Highway II. Since a PLC-2 cannot send to Addresses 00 to 07 octal
(these addresses are defined by the PLC-2 for processor work area), a
PLC-2’s access to other node addresses would be extremely limited (only
Stations 10 through 20 octal). To solve this problem, the PLC-2 uses a
formula to convert the node addresses. This allows the PLC-2 to access
all allowable addresses (02 through 20 octal) on Data Highway Plus.
To determine the PLC-2 USER value of a Data Highway Plus node, add
10 (octal) to the Data Highway Plus address. For example, Data Highway
Plus Node 12 (octal) has a PLC-2 USER value of 22:
12 + 10 = 22 (octal)
For more information on addressing a PLC-2 on Data Highway II, refer to
the PLC-2 Family Interface (1779-KP2, -KP2R) User’s Manual
(Publication 1779-6.5.3).
44
Chapter 4
Addressing from Data Highway II
Addressing Data Highway Plus from a PLC3
To send a message from a PLC-3 (1779-KP3) on Data Highway II to a
Data Highway Plus node, you use the following address format in the
message instruction of your ladder-logic program (NNN = Node,
UUU = User):
:NNN.UUU
The 1779-KP3 does not support the network layer. The LINK value is
automatically 00 (local link).
The NODE value is the node address of the 1779-KP5 that connects you
to the destination Data Highway Plus link (the link that contains the node
you want to communicate with).
The USER value is the Data Highway Plus address of the node you want
to communicate with.
For example, a PLC-3 message instruction to read a file from a PLC-5:
with Data Highway Plus Address 012 (octal)
connected to the 1779-KP5 with a Data Highway II address of 045
(octal)
would look like this:
MOVE FROM :45.12$E0.10.0.0 TO $N10:0,20
If you are communicating to a PLC-5, you need to send a PLC-5
four-level address instead of a six-level address:

Important: If you use a file value of greater than 15, the value wraps
around to zero. For example, a value of 16 specifies File 0, a value of 17
specifies File 1, etc.
You must enter the PLC-5 address in the following address format:
If you send a full PLC-3 six-level address to a PLC-5, the PLC-5 will
return an error.
Addressing Data Highway Plus from a 1779KFL or 1779KFM Device
To address a Data Highway Plus node from a programmable device
connected to a 1779-KFL, -KFLR or 1779-KFM, -KFMR, the device
must enter the appropriate LINK, NODE, and USER values in the
message packet.
The LINK value is always 00 for local addressing.
The NODE value is the node address of the 1779-KP5 that connects you
to the destination Data Highway Plus link (the link that contains the node
you want to communicate with).
The USER value is the Data Highway Plus address of the node you want
to communicate with.
For example, if you send a message to:
a PLC-5 at Address 13 (octal)
on a Data Highway Plus connected to a 1779-KP5 with the Data
Highway II Node Address 16 (octal)
your message packet looks similar to this:

Chapter 4
Addressing from Data Highway II
When you send a message from a node on your Data Highway II link to a
node on a remote Data Highway II link, you address the node using the
LINK, NODE, and USER fields.
Use the LINK field to specify what link the remote node is on. The
LINK value of a remote link can be between 1 and 15. You set the link
value of a remote link using switches on the remote link’s 1779-KP5
(Chapter 3).
Use the NODE and USER fields the same way as normal Data
Highway II addressing. The NODE field specifies the node address on
the remote link. The USER field specifies the user on the remote node.
For example, if you want to send a message to:
Addressing a Remote Data

You use remote addressing to communicate with a node on a remote Data
Highway Plus link. A remote Data Highway Plus link has a link value
greater than zero.
Important: Only Series B Data Highway II modules support
communication to a remote Data Highway Plus link. The PLC-2 Family
Interface (1779-KP2, -KP2R) and the PLC-3 Family Interface (1779-KP3,

The LINK value is the link value of the remote Data Highway II link to
which the Data Highway Plus link is attached. The LINK value of a
remote link can be between 1 and 15. You set the link value of a Data
Highway II link using switches on the remote link’s 1779-KP5
(Chapter 3).
The NODE value for each Data Highway Plus node is the same as the
Data Highway II node address of the 1779-KP5 it is connected to. Refer
to Chapter 3 for information on setting the node address of a 1779-KP5
using the thumbwheels on the front panel.
For example, if the NODE value of the 1779-KP5 is 42 (octal), the NODE
value of each Data Highway Plus node connected to it is also 42.
The USER value is the Data Highway Plus node address. The USER
value must be between 1 and 20 (octal).
The 1779-KP5 reserves USER 01 to identify itself to nodes on Data
Highway II. You can still use Data Highway Plus Address 001 (the
1784-T50 default address), but Data Highway II nodes will not be able to
communicate to this Data Highway Plus node.
410
Chapter 4
Addressing from Data Highway II
Using a Data Highway Plus Link Number
When you use a Data Highway Plus link number, you can address up to
64 nodes to your Data Highway Plus link.
To use a Data Highway Plus link number to address a Data Highway Plus
node, you must:
Not enable the route update messages. This means that your 1779-KP5
can receive route updates, but it cannot send a route update to inform
other 1779-KP5 modules on where to find the Data Highway Plus link.
Use station-management commands to send the routes from an
intelligent device on your network to the other 1779-KP5 modules.
When your device sends the FIXED ROUTE to all local 1779-KP5
modules, these modules will update the route for all other links on the
network. For more information, refer to your 1779-KFL, -KFLR or
1779-KFM, -KFMR documentation.
You use the LINK, NODE, and USER fields to specify the Data Highway
Plus node address.

the same way as the normal Data Highway II addressing.
The LINK value for local addressing is always zero.
The NODE value of a Data Highway II node is the node address you set
on the module using the thumbwheels on the front panel.
The default USER value for all Data Highway II devices is 01. For a
1779-KFL module, the devices will have USER values of 01 and 02.

For example, a Data Highway II node, Address 15, connected to a
1779-KFL User 2, would have the address:
LINK

Important: The address of the initiating Data Highway Plus node must
be between 02 and 20 (octal) so that the reply message can be returned. A
computer on Data Highway Plus cannot address a node on a remote link,
such as Data Highway II or another Data Highway Plus link.
Chapter 5
Addressing from Data Highway Plus
You can send commands to Data Highway II from Data Highway Plus
Addresses 002 through 020 (octal). You may still assign Address 001 (the
default address for the 1784-T50) and Addresses 021 through 077 (octal)
on your Data Highway Plus network, but these nodes are unable to initiate
messages to nodes on your Data Highway II network.
In our examples, we use a 1784-T50 Industrial Terminal and Version 2.2
software to display PLC-5 commands. For more information on how to
use Version 2.1 software (or earlier), refer to Appendix B.
The following sections provide guidelines for addressing various types of

This section describes communicating to a node on a remote Data
Highway II link. To address a remote Data Highway II link, you must
send the message over a 1779-KP5 bridge. Figure 5.2 shows an example
configuration.
You can send commands to Data Highway II from Data Highway Plus
Addresses 002 through 020 (octal). You may still assign Address 001 (the
default address for the 1784-T50) and Addresses 021 through 077 (octal)
on your Data Highway Plus network, but these nodes are unable to initiate
messages to nodes on your Data Highway II network.

The LINK value is the link value of the remote Data Highway II link.
You set this number with switches on the 1779-KP5 (refer to Chapter 3).
The NODE value of a Data Highway II node is the node address you set
on the module using the thumbwheels on the front panel.
The default USER value for all Data Highway II devices is 01. For a
1779-KFL module, the devices will have USER values of 01 and 02.
For example, a node on Data Highway II Link 03, Address 15, connected
to a 1779-KFL User 2, would have the address:

Important: The address of the initiating Data Highway Plus node must
be between 02 and 20 (octal) so that the reply message can be returned. A
computer on Data Highway Plus cannot address a node on a remote link,
such as Data Highway II or another Data Highway Plus link.

When you address a local Data Highway Plus link from another Data
Highway Plus link, you are limited to addressing a total of 15 nodes (02
through 20 octal) on a Data Highway Plus link.
The LINK number is always zero for a local link.
The NODE number is the NODE address of the 1779-KP5 that connects
the other Data Highway Plus link to Data Highway II.
The USER number is the address of the node on Data Highway Plus.
For example, the following message instruction is an example of
communicating from a PLC-5 to a PLC-5 on a remote Data Highway Plus
using local addressing. This message instruction reads 1,000 words from
a PLC-5, Node 013 on a remote Data Highway Plus link. It reads these

There are two ways to communicate to a remote Data Highway Plus link:
Using a Data Highway II Link Number
Using a Data Highway Plus Link Number
The following sections show these two methods.
Using a Data Highway II Link Number
This method limits you to addressing a total of 15 nodes (02 through
20 octal) on a Data Highway Plus link, but it is also easier to implement.
Important: The address of the initiating Data Highway Plus node must
be between 02 and 20 (octal) so that the reply message can be returned.
The address of the initiating Data Highway Plus node must be between 02

This method treats the nodes on your Data Highway Plus link as users
connected to the 1779-KP5.
The LINK number is the LINK number of the Data Highway II link that
the remote Data Highway Plus link is connected to.

The NODE number is the NODE address of the 1779-KP5 that connects
the Data Highway Plus link to Data Highway II.
The USER number is the address of the node on the Data Highway Plus.
For example, the following message instruction is an example of
communicating from a PLC-5 to a PLC-5 on a remote Data Highway Plus
across a bridge. This message instruction reads 1,000 words from a
PLC-5, Node 013 on a remote Data Highway Plus link. It reads these

Using a Data Highway Plus Link Number
When you use a Data Highway Plus link number, you can address up to
64 nodes to your Data Highway Plus link.
To use a Data Highway Plus link number to address a Data Highway Plus
node, you must:
Not enable the route update messages. This means that your 1779-KP5
can receive route updates, but it cannot send a route update to inform
other 1779-KP5 modules on where to find the Data Highway Plus link.
Use station-management commands to send the routes from an
intelligent device on your network to the other 1779-KP5 modules.
When your device sends the FIXED ROUTE to all local 1779-KP5
modules, these modules will update the route for all other links on the
network. For more information, refer to your 1779-KFL, -KFLR or
1779-KFM, -KFMR documentation.
Important: The address of the initiating Data Highway Plus node must
be between 02 and 20 (octal) so that the reply message can be returned.
Figure 5.5 shows an example configuration using a remote Data Highway
Plus link.

Since your Data Highway Plus link has a LINK number, the addressing
will work as follows:
The LINK number is the LINK number you have set on your
1779-KP5 for the Data Highway Plus link.
The NODE number is the destination node’s Data Highway Plus
address.
The USER number must be 1.
For example, the following message instruction is an example of
communicating from a PLC-5 to a PLC-5 on a remote Data Highway Plus
across a bridge. This message instruction reads 1,000 words from a
PLC-5, Node 013 on a remote Data Highway Plus link. It reads these
words from Memory Location N100:0 of the remote PLC-5 and stores
them in Memory Location N100:0 in the initiating PLC-5.

1779KP5 Diagnostic Status
Bytes
Diagnostic status bytes contain information about the module, Data
Highway II, and Data Highway Plus.
To read the status bytes, you send a Diagnostic Status command from a
computer on your Data Highway II or Data Highway Plus network. For
information on how to read diagnostic status bytes, refer to the Data
Highway/Data Highway Plus Protocol and Command Set Reference
Manual (Publication 1770-6.5.16).
Diagnostic Status Bytes for Data Highway II
Data Highway II diagnostic status bytes can be read from an intelligent

following table contains a list of the 1779-KP5’s diagnostic status bytes
for Data Highway Plus:
What a Diagnostic Counter Is
How to Read Diagnostic Counters
What 1779-KP5 Diagnostic Counters Contain
What is a Diagnostic Counter?
A diagnostic counter records an event of interest for debugging the
module and for longer term reliability analysis.
Since Data Highway II uses application layer diagnostic counters, the
1779-KP5 does not have diagnostic counters for Data Highway II.
However, the 1779-KP5 does have counters for Data Highway Plus.
The diagnostic counters occupy a block of the module’s internal scratch
RAM. Most are single byte counters that reset to zero when they
overflow.
These counters provide a useful tool for diagnosing problems.
How to Read Diagnostic Counters
To read diagnostic counters, you must issue a Diagnostic Read command.
This command can only be sent from a device:
Connected to a Data Highway Plus with an interface module that
supports an asynchronous port.
That can format the diagnostic commands.
Therefore, a PLC user program is unable to initiate a Diagnostic Read
command.
Important: The location of the diagnostic counters in a Data Highway
Plus module varies:
From module to module.
Between revision levels of the same type module.
You must first request the location of these counters by transmitting a
Diagnostic Status command to the module. Based on the address
returned, you can use the number of the counters which follow as an
offset to calculate:
The location of a particular counter.
How many counter values you want returned.
67
Chapter 6
1779KP5 Troubleshooting Tools
You can then use this information to format a Diagnostic Read command.
The reply from the Diagnostic Read command contains the data stored in
the counters.
For more information on the Diagnostic Status and Diagnostic Read
commands, refer to the Data Highway/Data Highway Plus Protocol and
Command Set Reference Manual (Publication 1770-6.5.16).
1779KP5 Data Highway Plus Diagnostic Counters
The 1779-KP5 stores 28 Data Highway Plus counters in 35 bytes. These
counters can only be read from an intelligent device (computer) connected
to the same Data Highway Plus as the 1779-KP5. The following table
contains a list of 1779-KP5 Data Highway Plus diagnostic counter bytes
and what they contain (all two byte counters are read low byte first).

Entering the User Number into
the Message Control File
When you use 6200 Series software Version 2.1 (or earlier) to
communicate from a node on Data Highway Plus to a:
computer/1779-KFL on Data Highway II
node on a remote Data Highway Plus network
you must manually enter the USER number into the message control file.
After you have entered a message instruction, enter the USER number
byte into the message control file using the following procedure:
1.Make sure the cursor is not on an instruction, then press [F8] - Data
Monitor.
2.Enter the control block address (for example, N13:0) and press the
ENTER key. The following type of display will appear:
The control file is displayed in words, not bytes.
The default radix for the display is in decimal. When you want to
change only the single byte for the user number, it is easier to select
hex/BCD as the radix of the display.
