Understanding the Different Network Types
The relationship between the PanelView terminal and the PLC
depends on whether the terminal is part of a Remote I/O, Data
Highway Plus, or ControlNet network. The following illustration
shows the relationship between PanelBuilder, the PanelView
terminal, and the PLC.
In this example, the PanelView terminal is connected by
Remote I/O.
