A Brief Tour of PanelBuilder 1400e
Publication 2711E-818 – January 1998
This section introduces PanelBuilder 1400e’s editors and dialog
boxes and explains their main purpose. These are the folders and
their editors and dialog boxes:
PLC Communications
The PLC Communications folder contains these dialog boxes and
editors:
•
Communication Setup dialog box—In the Terminal
Communications tab of the Configure Communication Setup
dialog box, you set the baud rate for Remote I/O applications and
assign the PanelView terminal network address for DH+ and
ControlNet applications.
Note: To transfer the application over DH+, ControlNet, or
Remote I/O Pass-Through with the terminal in Run mode, you
can configure the terminal’s location routing address and transfer
control tags in the Network File Transfer tab. For more
information about transferring applications with the terminal in
Run mode, see the PanelView 1000e, 1200e, and 1400e Operator
Terminals User Manual, and the PanelView 1200/1400e Transfer
Utility User Manual.
•
Nodes editor—In the Node editor you set up node definitions of
the devices the terminal will communicate with on the DH+ or
ControlNet network. Your application’s tags will refer to these
devices.
•
Scan Classes editor—In the Scan Class editor you define the
rates at which the tags are scanned for DH+ and ControlNet
applications. Scanning updates the terminal’s value table.
•
RIO Racks editor—In the Rack editor you select the Remote I/O
device and assign the racks your application will use. The racks
you assign determine the block transfer files and tags you can
create.
•
RIO Block Transfer Files editor—In the Block Transfer editor
you can assign up to 64 block transfer files of up to 64 words
each. Block transfer files provide more address space for tags. In
this editor you can also configure the Pass-Through Control byte
for Remote I/O Pass-Through application file transfers.
