¬ The Ethernet PLC-5 controller must be series C, firmware revision N.1 or later; series D, firmware revision E.1 or later; or series E, firmware revision D.1 or later.
T The 1785-ENET Ethernet communication interface module must be series A, firmware revision D or later.
‡ The PLC-5, SLC, and MicroLogix processors appear as I/O points to the Logix controller. Use the appropriate DeviceNet interface for the controller.
§ Use a 1747-L55x controller with OS501 or greater.
Ø The PLC-2 controller requires a 1785-KA module for DH+ communications.
z The PLC-2 controller requires a 1771-KG module for serial (DF1) communications.
ª The PLC-3 controller requires a 1775-S5 module for DH+ communications.
v The PLC-3 controller requires a 1775-KA module for serial (DF1) communications.
