To control the beeper from the PanelView terminal, assign a PLC input bit
address to a push button on one of your screens.
PLC Controlled Audio does not affect any alarm messages you may have
configured to sound the audio indicator. These alarms will sound the audio
indicator, regardless of whether you’ve enabled or disabled PLC
Controlled Audio or this address bit is 1 or 0.
Enable this option to assign a PLC output bit address that allows the PLC
controller to trigger the PanelView terminal’s alarm relay.
To use this feature, first choose PLC Controlled Alarm Relay from the
Options menu; then choose Enabled. Then define a PLC output address in
the address definition window. When the bit is set to 1, the alarm relay is
energized. When the bit is set to 0, the alarm relay de-energizes.
To control the alarm relay from the PanelView terminal, assign a PLC
input bit address and control that address with a push button on one of your
screens.
The PLC Controlled Alarm Relay does not affect any alarm messages you
may have configured to trigger the alarm relay; these alarms will energize
the relay regardless of whether you’ve enabled or disabled the PLC
Controlled Alarm Relay or whether this address bit is a 1 or a 0.
ATTENTION: Do not use the Alarm Relay for control
purposes.
Enable this option to allow the PLC controller to display specific screens.
Choose PLC Controlled Screen Number from the Options menu, then enter
a PLC output address. If a PLC output address is assigned and this function
is enabled, and the PLC controller moves a screen number into this
address, the PanelView terminal displays the screen, overriding the
operator’s selection.
Be sure your address assignment is long enough to accommodate the
longest screen number—including the screen numbers of the Alarm
History Screen and Alarm Status Screen.
The PLC output address must contain a 0 for the operator to have control
of screen selection.
