Rack Assignment opens a menu where up to eight rack assignments

can be entered. Each one has a selection for rack number, starting
module group, rack size, and last chassis.

Block Transfer opens a menu where up to five block transfer files can

be assigned. Each one has a selection for rack number, module group,
high/low byte and file size. Block transfer number 6 is reserved for the
Pass-Through function.

PLC Baud Rate allows you to set one of three available PLC baud

rates:

57.6 kilobaud, for a maximum cable length of 10,000 feet

115.2 kilobaud, for a maximum cable length of 5,000 feet

230.4 kilobaud, to a maximum cable length of 2,500 feet

Your terminal must be Series C Revision A or later to support 230.4
kilobaud. Some older PanelView terminals can be upgraded to support
the 230K baud rate. Contact Allen-Bradley System Support Services for
more information.

Pass-Through Configuration allows you to configure the DH+ address

defining the PanelView terminal location and save it with the
application file. For a detailed discussion of this option see Chapter 6,
File Operations.

To open the Screen menu, select Screens and press Enter, then choose
Select Screen or Create New Screen. Each screen is automatically
numbered when you create it; however, you may enter a new number if
you wish. The number is displayed before the screen’s name.

The Screen menu contains eight items—including Exit—that are used to
manipulate or edit objects on any screen. Of these, the Move, Memorize,
and Recall menus can be used for single objects or groups of objects.
