2706-D11JS

2706-D21JS

DL5 Slave displays receive message text from a host device. The host device may be a DL40 Plus master display, PanelView terminal, programmable controller, or a personal computer. All messages are created and stored in the host device.

The DL5 Slave displays appear similar to the standard DL5 one and two-line displays except they do not have a parallel port.

Publication 2706-6.4

1-2

Introduction to the DL5 Slave

Operating Modes

The DL5 Slave has four operating modes:

• DL Slave

• PV Slave

• Terminal

• Diagnostic

DL (Dataliner) Slave Mode

Use this mode when connecting one or more DL5 slaves to a DL40 Plus master display, PLC or SLC controller. A DL5 Slave may be connected to a

DL40 Plus using an RS-232 link (single drop only).

Multiple DL5 slave displays may be connected to an RS-485 link using an

RS-485 to RS-232 converter such as the Black Box LD-485A-MP. Each

DL5 slave may be individually addressed to display only the messages sent to a specific address. Displays with the same address, display the same message. Addresses 13 & 18 cannot be used.

PV (PanelView) Slave

Use this mode when connecting a single DL5 Slave to the printer port of a standard PanelView operator terminal (PV550, 600, 900, 1000 or 1400).

The DL5 Slave displays any text that would normally be sent to a printer.

The DL5 Slave may be connected to the PanelView using the RS-232 port.

Only one display may be connected on the communication link, the DL5 slave displays cannot be addressed individually in this mode.

Terminal Mode

In this mode, the DL5 Slave can receive data from any device capable of sending serial ASCII characters. The ASCII characters sent by the host device control the message text, line scrolling and formatting of the messages.

Diagnostic Mode

Use the diagnostic mode for basic setup and troubleshooting. In this mode, the DL5 Slave displays the hex value of all the data it receives. An indication is provided if there is a communication error.

Electrical Precautions

Install the DL5 Slave display conforming to NFPA 70E, Electrical Safety

Requirements for Employee Workplaces. In addition to the NFPA general guidelines, refer to the following:

Careful cable routing helps minimize electrical noise. Route incoming power to the module by a separate path from the communication cables.

Do not run communications wiring and power wiring in the same conduit!

Where communication and wire paths must cross, make their intersection perpendicular.

Grounding helps limit the effects of noise due to electromagnetic interference (EMI). To avoid problems caused by EMI, properly ground all equipment and use shielded cables.

Input Voltage Requirements

Before connecting the DL5 Slave to the incoming power, verify that the power source provides:

Voltage: 12-24 Volts DC

Current: 250 milliamperes at 12V DC (300mA inrush)

125 milliamperes at 24V DC (300mA inrush)

Fusing: External fuses should be used

Important: Power, input and output (I/O) wiring must be in accordance with Class I, Division 2 wiring methods [Article 501-4(b) of the

National Electrical Code, NFPA70] and in accordance with the local authority having jurisdiction.

Configuring the DL5 Slave

Using Terminal Emulation

If you don’t have an ASCII programming terminal, you can use your computer with a terminal emulation program such as HyperTerminal. The following example shows HyperTerminal, other terminal programs will be similar.

5. Locate the HyperTerminal or other program on your computer. Often the terminal emulation programs can be found on the Start>Accessories menu.

6. Setup the terminal emulation program. You will need to specify the port connected to the DL5 Slave and specify a baud rate, parity (none), data bits (8) and stop bits (1). Make sure the baud rate is set to match the DL5 Slave. If you are not sure of the DL5 slave baud rate, cycle the power. The communication settings are displayed in the startup sequence. To use HyperTerminal, go to the File menu and click on New

Connection.

1. Connect the DL5 Slave to a communication port on your computer or programming terminal. Use cable (Catalog No. 2706-NC13) for standard 9-pin connections or cable (catalog No. 2706-NC12) for 25-pin connections. Page 3-1 lists the available programming cables for other configurations.

2. Set the programming terminal for the following:

– 9600 baud (see Important below)

– 8 data bits

– no parity

– 1 stop bit

– flow control (None)

Important: Some terminals require that the terminal be reset (or switched to the ‘Operate’ state) before changes to a communication protocol takes affect. In addition, the DL5 Slave may have been previously configured with a different baud rate. The DL5 Slave displays its baud rate during the power-up sequence. Make sure the programming terminal is set to match.

3. Check the Operate / Configure switch on the back of the DL5 Slave. The switch in position 1 should be in the down (Configure) position.

4. Apply power to the DL5 Slave.

The power-up sequence, described in Chapter 2, is displayed.

Slave Mode Operation

Chapter

Dataliner (DL) Slave Mode

This chapter describes the operation of the DL5 Slave in DL Slave Mode and contains the following topics:

• Slave mode description

• Slave mode protocol

• Example messages

• Display options

• Clearing one or more lines

DL Slave Mode is selected through the configuration menu as described in

Chapter 3. Dataliner (DL) Slave mode allows one or more DL5 Slaves to display different messages while connected to a single master device such as a DL40 Plus master display.

Important: If you are using a DL40 Plus as the master, configure its communication port for DL Slaves (refer to the DL40 Plus user manual,

Publication 2706-6.1). This configures the DL40 master to send message data in the DL Slave format.

In DL Slave Mode, the DL5 Slave accepts messages in the format:

16 Characters to Display

Address Line Number Carriage Return

16 Characters to Display

Send the message text characters to be displayed. ASCII characters 32 to

126 (20hex to 7Ehex) are supported. Any valid ASCII character, upper or lower case can be sent however, lowercase letters are displayed as uppercase. All control characters within the message text field, except

[Ctrl][F] and [Ctrl][R], are ignored. If fewer than 16 characters are sent, the remaining character positions are filled with spaces. Appendix B shows the DL5 Slave character set.

Publication 2706-6.4

4-2

Dataliner (DL) Slave Mode

Example Messages

Address

The address of the slave display that will receive the message. This is a single byte character from 1 to 127 decimal (01 through 7F hex).

Note: Do not use 13 (0Dhex) or 18 (12hex) as an address. These are reserved and the DL5 automatically converts these addresses to 127 (7F hex). Address 127 is a global address that accepts all messages regardless of the address. In addition, any message sent with an address of 127 is sent to all slave displays.

Line Number

A one byte character specifying the line number the message is to be displayed on. Valid line numbers are 1, 2, or 50 decimal (not ASCII). The

ASCII characters are Ctrl-A = 1, Ctrl-B = 2, and 2 = 50

Note: 50 decimal as the line number specifies clear both lines.

Carriage Return

Message is terminated by a carriage return, Ctrl-M (decimal 13, 0Dhex).

For example, a print statement using a BASIC module (Catalog No.

1771-DB or 1746-BAS) with a DL5 Slave display would be:

Slave 1 Line 1

Carriage

Return

100 PRINT#”BLOWER 1 STOPPED”, CHR(1), CHR(1), CHR(13)

The message BLOWER 1 STOPPED would be displayed on line one of slave number one. To send the message fields, the print CHR (decimal character equivalent) function is used.

To send the same message from any PC terminal program, use:

Slave #1

(01hex)

Carriage

Return (0Dhex)

BLOWER 1 STOPPED^A^A^M

ASCII Text

Line #1

(01hex)

Where: ^A is the [Ctrl] and [A] keys pressed at the same time.

^M is the [Ctrl] and [M] keys pressed at the same time.

Publication 2706-6.4

Display Options

Dataliner (DL) Slave Mode

4-3

Use the following control codes in the message text for flash and reset functions. Any other control codes are ignored.

[Ctrl][F]

Control-F (06 hex) is the flash code. Send this code when you want all the characters on the line to flash. The [Ctrl][F] code can appear anywhere in the text portion of the message. You can turn flash on and off multiple times in a message. At the start of each new line of message text, the flash option is turned off. The [Ctrl][F] code is not included in the 16 character limit of the display protocol.

[Ctrl][R]

Control-R (12 hex) is the reset command. When a [Ctrl][R] is received by the DL5, all data for the current line is discarded. For example, if 10 characters are received by the DL5 Slave and then a [Ctrl][R] is sent, the 10 characters and the [Ctrl][R] are discarded. After using the reset command, you can start a new message. [Ctrl][R] resets the flash status to non-flashing.

Clearing One or More Lines

To clear one or more lines on a DL5 Slave, use:

This chapter describes the operation of the DL5 Slave in the PV Mode. The following topics are described:

•

PV Slave Mode description

•

PV Mode protocol

•

Display options

Use the PanelView (PV) Slave Mode to send the DL5 Slave messages from a PanelView operator terminal. The DL5 Slave acts like a printer attached to the PanelView communication port. Any messages printed by the

PanelView are displayed on the DL5 Slave.

Note: In PV Mode, only one DL5 Slave display can be connected to the

PanelView communication port (RS-232).

PV Slave Mode is configured as described in Chapter 3. For information on setting up a PanelView to print messages, refer to the PanelBuilder

Software user manual (Publication 2711-6.0).

Messages to the DL5 Slave in PV mode consist of the following:

Message Text (Up to 128 Characters)

Carriage

Return

Only ASCII characters 32 to 126 (20hex to 7Ehex) are displayed. ASCII characters 0 through 31 (1F hex) are non-displayable control characters.

Text is displayed from left to right. When the end of the current line is reached, the cursor moves to the start of the line below. If the cursor is on the last line, all the lines are shifted up one line (top line is lost). Some control characters can be used to alter the display of messages and movement of the cursor (refer to display options, next section).

Publication 2706-6.4

5-2

PanelView (PV) Slave Mode

Display Options

Use the following control codes to control the appearance of messages displayed in PV Mode.

[Ctrl][F]

(06 hex)

Flash command. Send the [Ctrl][F] command when you want the display characters to flash. Following the first flash code, all the characters on the display will flash. If a second [Ctrl][F] is received, the display stops flashing. At the start of each new line of message text, the flash option is turned off.

[Ctrl][J]

(0A hex)

Line Feed command. Send a [Ctrl][J] command to move the cursor down to the next lower line. If the cursor is on the last line, it remains on the last line and all of the lines are shifted up (leaving the last line blank).

Note: The cursor is not moved until the next displayable character is received. This allows the current text to be displayed for the longest period of time before being shifted or cleared.

[Ctrl][L]

(0C hex)

Form feed command. Sending a [Ctrl][L] command clears the display and moves the cursor to the upper left corner of the display. Flash mode is set to non-flashing.

[Ctrl][M]

(0D hex)

Carriage return command. Sending the [Ctrl][M] command terminates the current message line, sets the flash mode to non-flashing, and moves the cursor to the beginning of the current line.

If Auto New Line is enabled (see Chapter 2), the cursor is also moved down to the start of the next line. If the cursor is on the last line, all of the lines are shifted up (leaving the last line blank).

Note: The cursor is not moved until the next displayable character is received. This allows the current text to be displayed for the longest period of time before being shifted or cleared.

Line Display Characteristics

The PanelView Slave mode has two special display characteristics that make messages easier to read:

Line to Line Delay

After each individual line is displayed, there is a one second pause before the next line is displayed. This delay provides time for each line to be read.

Cursor Movement Command Delay

Line wrap, carriage return, line feed and form feed operations are not executed immediately. These commands are buffered and executed only when the next displayable character (or identical cursor movement) is received. This allows the current text to be displayed for the longest period of time before being shifted or cleared.

Terminal Mode Operation

This chapter describes the operation of the DL5 Slave in Terminal Mode and contains the following topics:

• Terminal mode operation

• Protocol

Terminal mode allows more control over messages than the basic Slave

Mode setting. In terminal mode, you can control:

• Cursor position

• Line scrolling

• Character-by-character display options

However, this mode also requires that you control the positioning and formatting of each message. Terminal Mode is configured as described in

Chapter 3.

Publication 2706-6.4

6-2

Terminal Mode

Terminal Mode Protocol

Message text and control codes are sent serially to the DL5 Slave in terminal mode. The following control codes are used:

Cursor Up (Ctrl-K )

(0B hex)

Positions the cursor directly above the current cursor position. If the cursor is on the first line, the cursor is moved to the last line on the display. On one line displays, the cursor does not move.

Cursor Down (Ctrl-V)

(16 hex)

Positions the cursor directly below the current cursor position. If the cursor is on the last line, the cursor is moved to the first line on the display. On one line displays, the cursor does not move.

Cursor Left (Ctrl-H)

(08 hex)

Moves the cursor one position to the left of the current cursor position. If the cursor is at the leftmost position on a line, the cursor is moved to the rightmost position on the line above. If the cursor is at the leftmost position of the first line, the cursor is moved to the rightmost position of the last line.

Cursor Right (Ctrl-L)

(0C hex)

Moves the cursor one position to the right of the current cursor position. If the cursor is at the rightmost position on a line, the cursor is moved to the leftmost position on the next lower line. If the cursor is at the rightmost position of the last line, the cursor is moved to the leftmost position of the first line.

Cursor Return (Ctrl-M)

(0D hex)

Moves the cursor to the leftmost position on the current line.

Line Feed (Ctrl-J)

(0A hex)

Moves the cursor directly below the current position. If the cursor is on the last line, the cursor stays in its position and every line is moved up one line

(leaving the first line blank).

Reverse Line Feed (Esc and then J ) (1B, 4A hex)

Moves the cursor directly above the current position. If the cursor is on the first line, the cursor stays in its position and every line is moved down one line (leaving the last line blank).

Cursor Home (Ctrl-T)

(14 hex)

Moves the cursor to the leftmost position on the first line of the display.

Clear Screen (Esc and then *) (1B, 2A hex)

Clears the display and moves the cursor to the leftmost position on the first line of the display.

New Line (Ctrl-_)

(1F hex)

Moves the cursor to the beginning of the line below. If the cursor is on the last line, every line is moved up one line (leaving the last line blank).

Publication 2706-6.4

Terminal Mode

6-3

Delete Line (Esc and then R) (1B, 52 hex)

Clears the current line. The cursor remains at its current position.

Insert Line (Esc and then E) (1B, 45 hex)

Moves the current line and all lines below it down one line (text on bottom line is lost). Then clears the current line. The cursor remains at its current position.

Set Cursor Position (Esc,=,<row>,<column>)

(1B, 3D <r><c> hex)

Moves the cursor to the specified row and column. Refer to the following table. If you exceed the parameters listed in the table, the cursor position defaults to the greatest row or column number.

Chapter Objectives

Using the Diagnostic Mode

This chapter describes the operation of the DL5 Slave in the Diagnostic

Mode. Use the diagnostic mode to verify communications with a host device. Diagnostic mode displays the exact data being sent by a host device. Use the diagnostic mode as a temporary installation and troubleshooting aid.

Set the DL5 Slave for diagnostic mode as described in Chapter 3.

In diagnostic mode, every byte received on the RS-232 port is displayed in a hexadecimal format on line 1 of the display. The bytes shift from right to left as each new byte is received. The byte on the right is always the last byte received. For example:

Slave 5, Line 1, Carriage Return

05 01 0D<

The value of every byte is displayed including control characters.

Characters are displayed as fast as they are received (no buffer). This usually means that only the last 5 bytes of a long message are viewable.

Data Errors

If the DL5 Slave and host device are not set to the same serial port settings, a reception error can occur. Data cannot be displayed if an error occurs.

Instead the DL5 Slave displays an error symbol ‘XX’. The error symbol indicates serial data was transfered but resulted in an error..

Frequently asked questions

The DL5 Slave Display requires a 12-24 Volts DC power supply with a current of 250 mA at 12V DC (300mA inrush) or 125 mA at 24V DC (300mA inrush).

You can connect multiple DL5 Slave Displays to a DL40 Plus Master via an RS-485 link using an RS-485 to RS-232 converter like the Black Box LD-485A-MP.

You can configure the DL5 Slave Display using an ASCII programming terminal or a personal computer with a terminal emulation program like HyperTerminal. The switch on the back of the display should be set to the down (Configure) position.
