Add a PanelView Terminal
A. Right-click on I/O
Configuration.
B. Select New Module.
We recommend the following when you use PanelView terminals with
Logix5000 controllers over ControlNet:
• PanelView Standard terminals
– A maximum of 4 PanelView Standard terminals can request data
from a Logix5000 controller.
• PanelView Plus terminals
– Because these terminals use unscheduled connections, the number of
PanelView Plus terminals that can request data from a Logix5000
controller is dependent on the number of available unconnected
buffers in the Logix5000 controller.
A typical PanelView Plus application uses 5 unconnected buffers in a
Logix5000 controller. With 32 unconnected buffers available at any time
in a Logix5000 controller, a maximum of 6 PanelView Plus terminals
can request data from a Logix5000 controller. Keep in mind, however,
that if 6 PanelView Plus terminals are requesting data from a single
Logix5000 controller, there are few unconnected buffers remaining for
anything else.
For scheduled connected communication, you must add the PanelView or
PanelView Plus terminal to the I/O configuration tree for the
controller project.
Adding a PanelView terminal is similar to adding distributed I/O. You add the
local ControlNet communication module and then you add the terminal to
that module.
1. If your application is online, go offline.
2. Select a New Module for the I/O Configuration.
