PV Slave Mode Use the PanelView (PV) Slave Mode to send the DL5 Slave messages from
a PanelView operator terminal. The DL5 Slave acts like a printer attached to
the PanelView communication port. Any messages printed by the
PanelView are displayed on the DL5 Slave.
Note: In PV Mode, only one DL5 Slave display can be connected to the
PanelView communication port (RS-232).
PV Slave Mode is configured 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 DL5 Slave in PV mode consist of the following:
Only ASCII characters 32 to 126 (20hex to 7Ehex) are displayed. ASCII
characters 0 through 31 (1F hex) are non-displayable control characters.
Text is displayed from left to right. When the end of the current line is
reached, the cursor moves to the start of the line below. If the cursor is on
the last line, all the lines are shifted up one line (top line is lost). Some
control characters can be used to alter the display of messages and
movement of the cursor (refer to display options, next section).
