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 how to create messages.
Refer to Chapter 3 for more information on Serial ASCII communications from
Channel Zero of an Allen-Bradley controller
The features are separated into sections for the 2706-P4x-SC and 2706-P7x-SC
displays and the 2706-P22R-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 was used primarily for downloading messages to
the display via the 2706-PCABLE1-SC download cable with the legacy InView
Messaging Software. This process is no longer supported.
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
