Communicating with a Processor

Before attempting to go online with a processor, you must have already configured
your processor, established a network, and created a valid program.

Going Online

Once you have established a network and configured the necessary parameters, you
are ready to go online. You can go online from the main menu two ways:

Either pressing

CONFIG

OFFLINE

CONFIG

ONLINE

F1

from the main menu display, or

by pressing

CONFIG

OFFLINE

CONFIG

WHO

F5

, then

CONFIG

OFFLINE

CONFIG

WHO

ACTIVE

F5

. If you use the Who function you must

select a processor with the arrow keys and then press

CONFIG

OFFLINE

CONFIG

ONLINE

F1

.

Note

If you have a SLC 5/04 processor configured for DH

+

communication and you

press [F5], WHO from the main APS menu, the DH

+

WHO main menu is

displayed. Pressing [F1], Online Program from the DH

+

WHO main menu

places your processor online and the APS online display appears.

If you are finished with communications using the current processor, and you want
to communicate with another processor on the same network, use the change link
address option. This method avoids going back to the main menu and having to
re-establish communications.
