PanelView (PV) Slave Mode
Chapter Objectives
This chapter describes the operation of the DL40 Plus Slave in the PV
Mode. The following topics are described:
• PV Slave Mode description
• PV Mode protocol
• Display options
PV Slave Mode
Use the PanelView (PV) Slave Mode to send the DL40 Plus Slave
messages from a PanelView operator terminal. The DL40 acts like a
printer attached to the PanelView communication port. Any messages
printed by the PanelView are displayed on the DL40 Plus Slave.
Note: In PV Mode, only one DL40 Plus Slave display can be
connected to the PanelView communication port (RS-232). In this
mode, DL40 Plus Slave displays cannot be addressed individually.
PV Slave Mode is selected by DIP switch settings as described in
Chapter 3. For information on setting up a PanelView to print
messages, refer to the PanelBuilder Software user manual
(Publication 2711-6.0).
PV Slave Mode Protocol
Messages to the DL40 in PV mode consist of the following:
Only ASCII characters 32 to 255 (20hex to FFhex) are displayed.
ASCII characters 0 through 31 (1F hex) are non-printable control
characters.
Text is displayed from left to right. When the end of the current line is
reached, the cursor shifts and starts on the next line. If the display is
on the last line, the first line is cleared and the lines are shifted up.
Some control characters can be used to control the display of
messages (refer to display options, next section).
