Configuring Communications Settings for 1000e/1200e/1400e Application Transfers

Publication 2711E-6.8 – January 1998

Address
This is the station address of the PanelView terminal on the DH+
or ControlNet network. If the terminal is on a different DH+
network bridged to the PanelBuilder DH+, you must also specify
the full bridge address.

For DH+ Direct, specify an address with a value between 0 and
77 (octal).

For ControlNet Direct, specify an address. The range is 1 to 99
(decimal). For some ControlNet versions, address 1 must be
assigned to a PLC.

The bridge address format for DH+ is as follows:

Station Address

Valid DH+ Entries

ll.rrr.ss

ll

local bridge address

rrr

remote bridge address

ss

station address on remote network

0 – 77 (octal)

0 – 376 (octal)

0 – 77 (octal)

or

You can shorten the offlink address by combining the remote bridge and remote
station addresses into one three-digit number. The system reads only the first digit of
the remote bridge address, and adds the two-digit remote station address to produce a
shorter address that still points to the same node.

ll.rss
ll

local bridge address

rss

combined remote bridge address and
remote station
address

0 – 77 (octal)

0 – 376 (octal)

For bridge address configuration examples, refer to “Planning
DH+ or ControlNet Communications” in Chapter 2, “Planning
Applications”, of the PanelBuilder 1400e Configuration Software
for Windows User Manual

2. Select the driver. To open a list of available drivers, click on the

arrow to the right of the Driver field.

Note: Serial 1 and Serial 2 drivers are provided by the transfer
utility and enable you to configure two different serial setups (for
example, baud rates). Also, they can accommodate the two
communication ports on many computers. Refer to the physical
communication ports on your computer to determine the correct
port for your application.
