The PanelView terminals have ports that support a variety of
communication options, including:
•
Remote I/O communications
•
DH-485 communications
•
DH+ communications
•
DF1 communications
•
DeviceNet communications
•
ControlNet communications
For details on how to configure a PanelView terminal to
communicate on a DeviceNet network, see publication DeviceNet
Communications for PanelView Terminals.
For details on how to configure a PanelView terminal to
communicate on a ControlNet network, see publication ControlNet
Communications for PanelView Terminals.
The catalog number of the terminal determines the physical ports and
communication protocol supported by that terminal. Many of the
terminals have an additional RS-232 port which is used for printing
and/or transferring applications.
The PanelView terminal type and communication parameters are
selected and configured as a part of the application.
•
PanelView terminal is defined when the application is created
(New Application dialog) and is also accessed from the Terminal
Setup dialog. See Chapter 6.
•
Communication parameters for the logic controller and terminal
are defined in the Communication Setup dialog (Comms. Setup
button on Terminal Setup dialog). See Chapter 20.
