When you choose this item, a second menu pops up, identifying three
optional (but strongly recommended) bits that can be configured for a
download. These addresses are only useful in conjunction with a PLC
program that can detect them and react to them.
PLC Inhibit Bit Address—when this output address is set, the
PanelView terminal will not permit a download.
Pass-Through Request Bit Address—this input address is set
when the download request is received, and is cleared once the
actual download begins.
Pass-Through Status Bit Address—this input address is set while
the download is in progress, and is cleared once the download is
complete.
All three choices are set in the same way: a menu pops up where you
assign the address, rack number, start word, start bit, communication
type, and input or output.
