There are four ways of downloading application files into PanelView 1200
terminals:
Serial Upload/Download (RS-232) cable—Downloading the
application file directly from your computer to the PanelView 1200
terminal using the Upload/Download cable. For installations where
there are many PanelView 1200 terminals, this requires going to each
terminal, connecting the cable, and downloading the application file.
Data Highway Plus/Remote I/O—Downloading the application file
over the Data Highway Plus and Remote I/O networks, using the PLC-5
Pass-Through feature.
The advantage of using the PLC-5 Pass-Through feature is that the
development computer doesn’t have to be physically moved from
terminal to terminal, and the terminals don’t have to have their cabling
changed.
User PROMs—Loading the application file into a user PROM and
installing the user PROM into the terminal.
PCMCIA memory cards—Loading an application file into a PCMCIA
memory card and installing the card in the PCMCIA socket of the
PanelView 1200 terminal (Series F terminals only).
This manual provides information on all these methods, except the last. For
information on using the PCMCIA card to download application files, refer
to the PanelBuilder 1200 Configuration Software for Windows User
Manual or the PanelView 1200 Operator Terminals User Manual.
There are two ways to upload application files from PanelView 1200
terminals:
Serial Upload/Download (RS-232) cable—Uploading the application
file directly from the PanelView 1200 terminal to the development
computer through the Upload/Download cable.
Data Highway Plus/Remote I/O—Uploading the application file over
the Data Highway Plus and Remote I/O networks, using the PLC-5
Pass-Through feature.
