Communication Ports
The Form 6 control has two back panel communication
ports and a front panel configuration data port.
The front panel configuration data port is described in the
Operating Panel section of this manual.
There is one standard 9-pin RS-232 and one optional
communication port (RS-485, serial fiber, Ethernet wire or
fiber or both) on the back operator panel, as well as a stan-
dard IRIG-B port for user time-syncing. See Figure 9.
Communication Protocols
Four communication protocols are available for the Form 6
control:
• Modbus
• DNP3
• 2179
• IEC870-5-101
One communication protocol can be selected for either the
back panel RS-232 or the optional communication port.
All four protocols are selected and configured by the user
with the ProView Communications Workbench application
software.
Ethernet Communications
• ProView over TCP/IP
• DNP3 over TCP/IP
Ethernet connection allows for network application of the
Form 6 control for both DNP3 and ProView protocols. In
addition, the front panel data port can simultaneously
communicate ProView to the PC.

Programming Guide , Section
Communicating with the Form 6 Control, for Ethernet
Configuration information.
When a communication protocol is selected for the option-
al communication boards (serial fiber or the RS-485 serial
port), the RS-232 serial port is defaulted to ProView inter-
face software protocol.
DNP3 is factory-defaulted to the RS-232 port.
When a communication protocol is selected for the RS-232
serial port, the optional RS-485 or serial fiber optic board
is not active.
The RS-485 or fiber optic serial ports do not support
ProView interface software protocol.
The user can simultaneously communicate to the Form 6
control using both the front panel data port and the appro-
priate back panel serial communication port (provided the
back panel RS-232 port or the Ethernet optional commu-
nications board is not configured to be ProView protocol).
Control Information
Control information includes firmware identification by cat-
alog number and name, date code, and ProView release
number. Control information is available through the
Settings menu on the front panel (Figure 4).
Control Back Panel
The control back panel is easily accessible through the
back door of the control cabinet (Figure 2) with readily
identifiable serial ports and connections (Figure 9).
