Onboard Editor
With the Onboard Editor you can create or edit messages, select
message attributes, and set options and variable formats using a
standard IBM PC keyboard. The Keyboard port is located on the rear
panel of the DL40 Plus.
Send ASCII Data to a PLC via Remote I/O Link
Using Remote I/O communications, you can send ASCII data to a
PLC. Attach an IBM compatible keyboard to the DL40 Plus and you
can enter part numbers, badge numbers, passwords, and similar
information as required. The DL40 Plus processes and displays the
information, and then sends it to the controller.
You can establish similar communications over an RS-232 or
RS-485 link.
Communicate with any Programmable Controller
(Parallel Port Version)
The DL40 Plus accepts information from any programmable
controller over a total of 20 input lines (16 data and 4 strobe lines).
Parallel Port versions of the DL40 Plus have an isolated 12 VDC
supply output that can be used to power outputs that pull data and
strobe lines high.
Backup Operations
Archive DL40 Plus application files in the Offline Programming
Software (Catalog No. 2706-LSW) by uploading or downloading
