Communicate with PanelView Terminals Chapter 8
When communicating implicitly (PanelView terminals only), the controller uses
one connection for each terminal. Account for these connections when designing
the system. Logix5000 controllers support these numbers of connections:
• Firmware revisions 11 and earlier support up to 16 bidirectional implicit
buffers (connections).
• Firmware revisions 12 or later support up to 32 bidirectional implicit
buffers (connections).
The larger number of implicit buffers enables significantly more PanelView
terminals to simultaneously request data from the controller via implicit
communication.
When communicating explicitly, the controller supports 40 outgoing and 3
incoming buffers. This number of incoming buffers limits how many terminals
can simultaneously request data from a controller via explicit communication. In
other words, while a system can have multiple terminals, only three terminals can
explicitly request data from a Logix controller at the same time.
Add a PanelView Terminal To add a PanelView terminal, follow these steps.
1. In the Controller Organizer, right-click I/O Configuration and choose
New Module.
The Select Module dialog box appears.
