SLC 5/03 and SLC 5/04

In SLC 5/03, RS-232 port (Ch0) and RS-45(Ch1) are NOT the same network. And, there is no direct data path between these two ports.

How about in SLC 5/04? Is there a direct data path between these two ports?

I believe the 5/05 is the only SLC that allows pass thru communications.

The ports on the SLC are always separate.

The SLC-5/04 and SLC-5/05 do have some limited "passthrough" capabilities. The CPU has to process every one of the messages, though, so the performance isn't good enough to be considered a "network bridge" like the Logix products.

You will have to read up in the User Manuals about the Status bits you have to set, and the Routing Table in the SLC-5/05.
