Hello, I am wondering if I can connect DirectSoft to the DL-05 at a speed
greater than 9600? It is slow  Sad to update when using DataView.
Thanks.

The secondary com port can be set to higher speeds. The left-hand program port is fixed so that you always know its properties.

Here is a thought - if you are going to be doing more than 1 or 2 PLC programs, invest in a ECOM100 and do all the programming via ethernet.  It makes for a much faster datatransfer.

Yeah, there are a number of customers that don't ship ECOMs as part of their systems, but own a single separate H0, H2 and/or H4 ECOM/100s for "development" and "trouble shooting".  Basically, it's part of their "cable"  Grin

Remember though, you gotta have an open slot in the local base to plug in this "cable" (which could very well be an issue w/05 PLC)
