SLC 5/05 processor

The SLC 5/05 processor supports Ethernet communication via the Ethernet communication (10Base-T) channel 1.
While the RS232 (via DB9) is channel 0 which supports DH485, DF1 or ASCII). See diagram below (diagram is from page 238 of the “SLC 500 Modular Hardware Style – User Manual”. See reference below)
