Communicating with a Processor
Before attempting to go online with a processor, you must have already configured
your processor, established a network, and created a valid program.
Going Online
Once you have established a network and configured the necessary parameters, you
are ready to go online. You can go online from the main menu two ways:
•
Either pressing
CONFIG
OFFLINE
CONFIG
ONLINE
F1
from the main menu display, or
•
by pressing
CONFIG
OFFLINE
CONFIG
WHO
F5
, then
CONFIG
OFFLINE
CONFIG
WHO
ACTIVE
F5
. If you use the Who function you must
select a processor with the arrow keys and then press
CONFIG
OFFLINE
CONFIG
ONLINE
F1
.
Note
If you have a SLC 5/04 processor configured for DH
+
communication and you
press [F5], WHO from the main APS menu, the DH
+
WHO main menu is
displayed. Pressing [F1], Online Program from the DH
+
WHO main menu
places your processor online and the APS online display appears.
If you are finished with communications using the current processor, and you want
to communicate with another processor on the same network, use the change link
address option. This method avoids going back to the main menu and having to
re-establish communications.
