Communications Overview
Publication 2711-6.0
The DF1 PanelView terminals communicate with an SLC, PLC or
MicroLogix 1000 controller over a point-to-point DF1 link or using
DF1 network communications. The DF1 terminals support full
duplex communications.
The DF1 parameters for the terminal and controller are defined in the
Communication Setup dialog (accessed from Terminal Setup dialog).
Terminal Name is stored in
