7–5 Configuring the PanelView Terminal for Modbus Communications
Publication 2711E-6.12 – November 1997
To view the terminal settings of the current Modbus application file,
press the Terminal Network Setup button on the Terminal
Configuration screen. Terminal and PLC information is displayed as
shown in the screen representation below.
Important: For information to be displayed on the screen, an
application must be made current (selected).
The network you are communicating on is displayed at the top of the
screen. Underneath it are the terminal’s current serial
communications settings (baud rate, parity, number of stop bits, and
flow control method). Each of these settings can be changed by
pressing the corresponding button. The default settings are 9600 for
baud rate, Even for parity, 1 for stop bits, and None for flow control.
The values you enter on this screen are retained across power cycles
of the PanelView terminal, but may be lost if you choose Load
Application Initial Values or Load Terminal Configuration Defaults
from the Restore Defaults screen in Configure Mode.
Note: The number of data bits is always 8.
Important: To communicate using modems or line drivers, the
PanelView terminal must be configured for Hardware
Flow Control.
All nodes (devices) with which your application will communicate
are listed. The Station number, Device Type, and Timeout are
displayed in the window. The Enabled column shows whether the
node is enabled. You can scroll through the entries in this window
using the Prev and Next buttons.
