The Data Type and Number of Bits fields are not configurable; the data
type is always “Bit” and the number of bits is always 1. The Input/Output
field is always set to Input for the Pass-Through Status and Pass-Through
Request bits; for the PLC Inhibit bit, the default is Output, though Input is
permitted.

PanelView Location Data

These addresses locate your PanelView terminal on the communications
network. The Location Data includes the Block Transfer Control Address
(Rack, Group and Module); the PLC DH+ Address; and the Local and
Remote Bridge Addresses, when two DH+’s are configured together.

Of these parameters, the Pass-Through Block Transfer Control Address
must be configured through the Communications menu before
downloading. The information is saved with the application file, and is
automatically read when the download is initiated.

Pass-Through Block Transfer Control Address

The address is configured like any other block transfer address, in the
Block Transfer window of the Communications Menu. The Pass-Through
feature reserves a dedicated block transfer, called Pass-Through, for its
exclusive use. The file size for this block transfer is fixed at 30 words and
cannot be changed.
