Appendix
A
DataSite to FactoryTalk View ME Master
This appendix describes how to configure a PanelView Plus 600 terminal to communicate with
the DataSite using Modbus serial communication. This setup requires KEPServerEnterprise V4.0 to
configure drivers between the DataSite unit and the PanelView Plus terminal running FactoryTalk
View ME.
Use this setup for smaller applications that don't require a ControlLogix controller to poll multiple
DataSite units. Refer to Appendix B for instructions on how to configure a Factory Talk View SE
master to communicate with the DataSite via Modbus TCP/IP communication that don’t require a
controller but do require data logging parameters to an excel file.
