Chapter 2
InView System
Connectivity
This chapter demonstrates how the InView display connects to control networks.
In the following chapters we show controller configuration and sample ladder for
serial ASCII networks. This chapter also discusses how to set-up the display
attributes, communications and create messages.
Section 2.1 Serial ASCII Communications
Refer to Chapter 3 for more information on Serial ASCII communications from
Channel Zero of an Allen-Bradley controller
Section 2.2 Features
The features are separated into sections for the 2706-P4x-SC and 2706-P7x-SC
displays and the 2706-P22R-SC displays.
Section 2.3 2706-P42-SC, 2706-P44-SC, 2706-P72-SC, and 2706-P74-SC
Displays
These displays operate at 100 to 240 VAC. They have an eight-position terminal
block that contains an auxiliary +5 VDC, RS-232 signals, and RS-485 signals.
There is also an RJ12 port that is in parallel with the RS-232 signals from the
terminal block. The RJ12 port is used primarily for downloading messages to the
display via the 2706-PCABLE1-SC download cable.
These displays have a single channel UART and therefore can only have one of
the three communication options connected at a time:
•
RJ12
•
RS-232 terminal block connections
•
RS-485 terminal block connections
