10–27 Terminal and Communication Setup
Publication 2706-817
A terminal with a daughterboard (Catalog Nos. 2706-M1D1, -M1N1
or -M1F1) has both a Remote I/O (RIO) port and an RS-232 port.
The RS-232 port may be configured to communicate with other
devices, using the Aux. Port tab. For a terminal without a RIO port,
see Page 10–9.
For details on RS-232 port configuration, see the section starting on
Page 5–3.
While the application is running, a terminal with a daughterboard
and the appropriate firmware can communicate with a logic
controller and with either:
•
an ASCII Input device, see a list on Page 5–6.
•
one or more slave devices as a slaving (master) device. Slave
devices are listed on Page 5–6.
To configure the RS-232 Auxiliary Port:
1. In the Terminal Setup dialog, verify the terminal Catalog and
Version field.
2. Select the Aux. Port tab.
When the selected terminal in the Terminal Setup dialog has only
an RS-232 port, this tab does not open.
3. Use the list box to select one of the following:
– Slave Port
– ASCII Input
