Terminal Mode

Chapter Objectives

This chapter describes the operation of the DL40 Plus Slave in
Terminal Mode. This chapter contains the following topics:

Terminal mode operation

Protocol

Terminal Mode Operation

Terminal mode allows more control over messages than the basic
Slave Mode setting. In terminal mode, you can control:

Cursor position

Line scrolling

Character-by-character display options

However, this mode also requires that you control the positioning and
formatting of each message. In Terminal Mode, only one DL40 Plus
Slave may be connected to the RS-485 or RS-232 link.

Terminal Mode is selected by DIP switch settings as described in
Chapter 2.
