Terminal Mode The GFX device also supports the TERMINAL MODE operating mode.
This allows you to remotely control other devices. This is especially useful if
the other device is located in an inaccessible place. Terminal mode can also be
used to show the menus and displays of devices that do not have their own
display or keypad. Terminal mode can be used both with the serial interface
and in the Pico-Link. The serial interface enables you to access a remote
device. If you use the Pico-Link network, all other network stations can be
addressed.
The following topologies are permissible.
IMPORTANT
Terminal mode is a separate operating mode like
RUN mode. It only functions when a program is not
running. For this mode to be active, the GFX must be
in STOP mode.
IMPORTANT
All connected devices must also support Terminal
mode.
