Access the PanelView terminal configuration screen as described in
your Operator Terminal user manual. To display PROFIBUS DP
settings, select Communications Setup from the Configuration Mode
menu.
The various communications settings and the firmware revision are
then displayed. All settings except for Node Address are read only.
The communications setup screen shown below is for example
purposes. The setup screen you use will be slightly different based
on the PanelView platform type.
Data for these fields is provided by the DP Master.
Provided
by the user
Profibus Watchdog Enabled
indicates the status of the PROFIBUS DP watchdog timer. The
watchdog timer allows the PanelView slave to detect when the DP
Master stops communicating. The setting is supplied by the DP
Master and transferred to the PanelView at network startup. It is
strongly recommended that the PROFIBUS DP Watchdog be enabled
by setting the timer to a non–zero value.
Profibus Watchdog Time (x 10 milliseconds)
indicates the watchdog timeout for the slave device. The watchdog
time is supplied by the DP Master and is transferred to the
PanelView terminal at network startup.
New Address
displays the new network address that the PanelView will be set to
after a reset. This is the only user changeable operating parameter.
Refer to Changing the Node Address (page 32).
