Configuring Communications
Settings for 1000e/1200e/1400e
Application Transfers
This chapter provides instructions for configuring communications
settings when planning to transfer application files and Alarm
History files between the PanelView 1000e/1200e/1400e terminals
and the development computer. The communication settings must be
configured before a transfer can be started.
For PV 1200 Upload/Download configurations, refer to PV 1200
Transfer Utility Manual, publication 2711–UM010B–EN–P.
The following information and table will help you determine which
driver packages and drivers you need for your particular system
configuration, and what the appropriate transfer link will be for your
communication hardware setup. You need to know:
•
what hardware you have
•
what transfer link you’re using
•
which driver package you’re using
•
which driver options must be configured
Table 5.A provides a matrix to help determine your hardware and
driver requirements.
For DF1 Direct transfers, choose the internal drivers, Serial 1 or
Serial 2.
For DH+, use RSLinx; if you do not have RSLinx, use the Serial 1 or
Serial 2 driver to communicate over the KF2 module.
For ControlNet, use RSLinx; if you do not have RSLinx, use the
Serial 1 or Serial 2 driver to communicate over the KFC module.
For Remote I/O Pass-Through, use whichever driver you would use
for DH+, ControlNet, or Ethernet.
Note: Modbus supports only serial transfers.
