Chapter 7 Communicate with PanelView Terminals

For information on configuring local ControlNet communication
modules, refer to Configure a ControlNet Module on page 29 .
Organize Controller Data
for a PanelView Terminal
Organize data for a PanelView or PanelView Plus terminal based on how the data
is used.
Data Type Required Actions
Time-critical scheduled data
(PanelView terminals only)
Use the I/O tags of the terminal. The terminal supports a maximum
of 32 input tags and 32 output tags.
The tags for this data were created when you added the PanelView
terminal to the I/O configuration of the controller. They are similar
to the tags of I/O modules.
Not time-critical (PanelView
or PanelView Plus terminals)
Create arrays to store the data.
1. For each screen, create a BOOL array with enough elements for
the bit-level objects on the screen.
For example, the BOOL[32] array gives you 32 bits for push
buttons and indicators.
2. For each screen, create a DINT array with enough elements for
the word-level objects on the screen.
For example, the DINT[28] array gives you 28 values for numeric
entry controls and numeric displays.
To access the scheduled I/O tags of the PanelView terminal, use these address
formats.
Terminal Function Address Definition
Writes the data name_of_terminal:I.Data[x].y
Reads the data name_of_terminal:O.Data[x].y
Address Variable Definition
name_of_terminal Name of the instance in the I/O configuration of the controller
x Element of the input (I) or output (O) structure.
y Bit number within the input or output element
