Terminal and Communication Setup

Publication 2711-6.0

4. Under Terminal, edit the following parameters.

Use:

To:

Node Address

Specify the node address (0 to 254 decimal) of
the terminal for DF1 network communications. For
network communications, click the Use
Networking check box.
For point–to–point communications with an SLC,
PLC, MicroLogix 1000 or 1761–NET DNI module,
the default node address of 64 is used.

Baud Rate

Select the baud rate of the terminal on the DF1
link. The baud rate must match the baud rate of
the target device.
Valid baud rates are: 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600,
19200. The default is 9600.

Parity/Stop Bits

Select the parity and number of stop bits used by
the DF1 port on the terminal. The number of data
bits is always 8. Your selection must match the
settings of the target device.
PLC controllers allow a parity of Even or None.
For SLC controllers the parity is fixed at None.

Error Detect

Select the type of error detection performed on
data. The options are CRC (Cyclic Redundancy
Check) and BCC (Block Check Character). The
default is CRC.

Handshake

Specify whether handshaking is used by the DF1
port. The default is Off or no handshaking.
If handshaking is On, the CTS and RTS lines are
enabled.

the DF1 link.

Node Address

Select the node address (0 to 254 decimal) of the
controller on the DF1 link.

Node Type

Select the type of controller that will communicate
with the PanelView terminal.

To delete a node, right-click in a node field and select Delete
Node from the shortcut menu. From this menu, you can also sort
multiple nodes by name, address, type or only modified nodes.
