Terminal and Communication Setup

Publication 2711-6.0

This section shows how to define runtime parameters for a
PanelView terminal and a PLC or SLC 5/04 controller that will
communicate on a DH+ link.

You will define parameters for these two devices:

DH+ PanelView Terminal

PLC 5 or SLC 5/04 Controller

or

DH+ Port

DH+ Link

PLC 5 Controller

PanelView Terminal

SLC 5/04 Controller

Addressing for a DH+ application is similar to DH-485 applications
except the DH+ link supports 64 nodes (0 - 77 octal); the DH-485
link supports 32 nodes. The DH+ link supports higher baud rates.

To configure DH+ communications:

1. Choose the Setup tab from the Terminal Setup dialog.

2. Verify the terminal name entered in the Terminal Name field.

3. Click the Comms. Setup button.

The Communication Setup dialog shows the current DH+ settings
for the PanelView terminal and controller. The first time you
open this dialog, default settings appear.

The terminal name was defined when the application was created.
