Chapter 7 Configure Your Controller for DeviceNet Communication
Read and Write from and to the SmartGuard Controller from the
PanelView Plus Interface Concurrently
This example shows how to use two maintained push buttons on a PanelView
Plus screen to control two tags within the SmartGuard 600 controller. To
accomplish this, a single byte of data is sent from the the PanelView Plus interface
to the SmartGuard controller. BOOL does not exist in either the PanelView Plus
scanner properties or the SmartGuard controller. Even if you create a BOOL tag
in the SmartGuard controller to accept data from the PanelView Plus interface, it
uses a byte of data.
There are also no integer values within the SmartGuard controller that you can
access programmatically. Because only Boolean data values are sent to the
SmartGuard controller, and since the smallest data type within the SmartGuard
controller is a byte, there is no reason to ever send less than a byte from the
PanelView Plus interface to the SmartGuard controller, even if you only are using
a couple of bits. This example configures a byte of output data that is to be sent to
the SmartGuard controller, but use only two buttons. If you need to send more
than eight BOOLs to the SmartGuard controller from the PanelView Plus
interface, edit the following example and change 1 byte to
x bytes in the output
parameters.
Tags that are being read by the PanelView Plus interface should be entered under
the IN tab.
Tags that are being written to by the PanelView Plus interface should be entered
under the OUT tab.
Follow this procedure to read and write from and to the SmartGuard controller
from the PanelView Plus interface concurrently.
1. Open your RSNetWorx software.
2. Open the SmartGuard properties.
3. Click the Slave I/O tab.
