Allen-Bradley DF-1 Introduction

Canvas supports Allen-Bradley DF-1 as a way to connect to devices that support this protocol. Users will be able to select the Error Detection and Flow Control for the protocol. Users can choose between BCC and CRC for Error Detection, and can turn on, off or control Flow Control. No additional settings will appear after selecting the device.
