DF-1 Protocol

DF-1 Protocol

DF-1 / DF1 protocol is an asynchronous byte-oriented protocol that is used to communicate with most Allen Bradley RS232 interface modules. DF1 protocol consists of link layer and application layer formats. Link layer serial frame is a composition of conventional RS-232 serial frame with the parameters specified as 8 data bits, no parity, and a maximum baud rate of 19200. DF1 is ASCII character oriented protocol and works over half duplex and full duplex modes of communication.
