Introduction to the DL40 Plus Slave

This chapter describes the DL40 Plus Slave display and summarizes its capabilities. The following topics are included in this chapter:

• DL40 Plus Slave description

• Operating modes

• Features

• Typical configurations

The DL40 Plus Slave displays are available in two-line and four-line versions. These displays are designed for panel mounting in industrial environments and require a 110-240V AC power source.

2706-LV4S

2706-LV2S

DL40 Plus 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 DL40 Plus Slave displays appear similar to the standard DL40

Plus two and four-line displays except they do not have front panel buttons, indicator LEDs, keyboard port, or an RIO / parallel port.

Publication 2706.6.3

1-2 Introduction to the DL40 Plus Slave

Operating Modes

The DL40 Plus Slave has four operating modes:

• DL Slave

• PV Slave

• Terminal

• Diagnostic

DL (Dataliner) Slave Mode

Use this mode when connecting the DL40 Plus Slave to a DL40 Plus master display or an enhanced PanelView terminal such as the

PV1400e. One or more DL40 Plus Slaves may be connected to a single DL40 Plus using an RS-485 link (multidrop) or an RS-232 link

(single drop only).

Each DL40 Plus Slave may be individually addressed to display only the messages sent to a specific address. Displays with the same address display the same messages. Addresses 13 and 18 are not valid, see page 2-3.

PV (PanelView) Slave

Use this mode when connecting a single DL40 Plus Slave to the printer port of a standard PanelView operator terminal (PV550, 600,

900, 1000 or 1400). The DL40 Plus Slave displays any text that would normally be sent to a printer. The DL40 Plus Slave may be connected to the PanelView using the RS-232 port. Only one display may be connected on the communication link, the DL40 Plus Slave is not individually addressable in this mode.

Terminal Mode

In this mode, the DL40 Plus 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. Only one display may be connected on the communication link, the DL40 Plus Slave is not individually addressable in this mode.

Diagnostic Mode

Use the diagnostic mode for basic setup and troubleshooting. In this mode, the DL40 Plus Slave displays the hex value of all the data it receives. An indication is provided if there is a communication error.

(64 position) as shown below. Positions #8 to #10 are not used.

Refer to Appendix C for a list of all possible addresses and the corresponding switch positions.

Position #

Value

For example, with Positions #2, #4, and #5 in the up condition, the serial address is 44.

Slave Mode Operation

Chapter

Dataliner (DL) Slave Mode

This chapter describes the operation of the DL40 Plus Slave in DL

Slave Mode. This chapter contains the following topics:

• Slave mode description

• Slave mode protocol

• Example messages

• Display options

• Clearing one or more lines

• Energizing relay

Dataliner (DL) Slave mode allows multiple slave displays to display different messages while connected to a single master device. Each slave display is assigned an address and only displays messages sent to that address. DL40 Plus Slaves assigned the same address display the same messages. Messages sent to address 127 (global address) are displayed on all slave displays regardless of their assigned address.

Note: If a DL40 Plus is used as a master display, make sure it is configured for DL Slave protocol on it’s communication port (RS-

232 or RS-485).

DL Slave Mode is selected by DIP switch settings as described in

Chapter 2.

Publication 2706-6.3

4-2 Dataliner (DL) Slave Mode

Slave Mode Protocol

Messages sent to the DL40 Plus Slave in DL Slave mode must have the following format:

20 Characters to Display

Slave

Address

Line

Number

Carriage

Return

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.

20 Characters to Display

Send the message text characters to be displayed. ASCII characters

32 to 255 (20hex to FFhex) are supported. All control characters within the message text field, except [Ctrl][F] and [Ctrl][R], are ignored. Any valid ASCII character, upper or lower case can be sent.

If fewer than 20 characters are sent, the remaining character positions are filled with spaces. Refer to Appendix A for the character sets available for the selected language character set (DIP switch settable, see Chapter 2).

Slave Address

A one byte character from 1 to 127 (1 to 7F hex) that specifies the address of the slave display that is to receive the message.

The following addresses are invalid:

• 13 (0Dhex) is invalid because it corresponds to Carriage Return

• 18 (12hex) is invalid because it corresponds to Ctrl-R

• If you select an invalid address, the DL40 overrides the setting with an address of 127.

Address 127 is a global address that accepts all messages regardless of the message’s address. In addition, any message sent with the address 127 is received by all slave displays. Use address 127 for messages you want displayed on all slaves instead of repeating the same message to multiple displays.

Line Number

A one byte character specifying the line number the message is to be displayed on. Valid line numbers are 1 to 4 decimal (not ASCII 1 to

4). Ctrl-A = 1, Ctrl-B = 2, Ctrl-C =3 and Ctrl-D = 4.

Carriage Return

Message is terminated by a carriage return, Ctrl-M (decimal 13,

0Dhex).

Publication 2706-6.3

Example Messages

Display Options

Dataliner (DL) Slave Mode

For example, a print statement for a Catalog No. 1771-DB Basic module with a DL40 Plus Slave display would be:

Slave 1 Line 1

Carriage

Return

4-3

100 PRINT #

”

VALVE NUMBER 1 OPEN

”

, CHR(1), CHR(1), CHR(13)

The message VALVE NUMBER 1 OPEN would be displayed on line one of slave number one. Note that 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

Valve Number 1 OPEN^A^A^M

Message Text

Line #1

(01hex)

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

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

[Ctrl][F]

This is the flash code. Send this code when you want the display characters to flash. All characters following the first flash code in a message flash. If two [Ctrl][F] codes appear in a message, only the characters between the codes flash.

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] character is not included in the 20 character limit of the display protocol.

[Ctrl][R]

This is the reset command. When a [Ctrl][R] is received by the DL40

Plus Slave, all data for the current line is discarded. For example, if

10 characters are received by the DL40 Plus Slave and then a

[Ctrl][R] is sent, the 10 characters are discarded. After using the reset command, you can start a new message. [Ctrl][R] resets the flash status to non-flashing.

PanelView (PV) Slave Mode

This chapter describes the operation of the DL40 Plus 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 DL40 Plus Slave messages from a PanelView operator terminal. The DL40 acts like a printer attached to the PanelView communication port. Any messages printed by the PanelView are displayed on the DL40 Plus Slave.

Note: In PV Mode, only one DL40 Plus Slave display can be connected to the PanelView communication port (RS-232). In this mode, DL40 Plus Slave displays cannot be addressed individually.

PV Slave Mode is selected by DIP switch settings 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 DL40 in PV mode consist of the following:

Message Text (Up to 128 Characters)

Carriage

Return

Only ASCII characters 32 to 255 (20hex to FFhex) are displayed.

ASCII characters 0 through 31 (1F hex) are non-printable control characters.

Text is displayed from left to right. When the end of the current line is reached, the cursor shifts and starts on the next line. If the display is on the last line, the first line is cleared and the lines are shifted up.

Some control characters can be used to control the display of messages (refer to display options, next section).

Publication 2706-6.3

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 code. Send the [Ctrl][F] command when you want the display characters to flash. All characters following the first flash code in a message flash. If two [Ctrl][F] codes appear in a message, only the characters between the codes flash.

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.

[Ctrl][G] (07 hex)

This command energizes the DL40 Plus Slave relay. Display text is not affected.

[Ctrl][L] (0C hex)

Form feed code. 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. The relay is not affected.

[Ctrl][M] (0D hex)

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

The relay is not affected.

If the Auto New Line DIP switch is enabled (see Chapter 2), the cursor is also moved down to the start of the next line. If the cursor is at the last line, the first line is cleared and the lines are shifted up.

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][R] (12 hex)

Relay reset command. Sending a [Ctrl][R] command de-energizes the relay. Displayed text is unchanged.

[Ctrl][J] (0A hex)

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

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.

Publication 2706-6.3

Line Display Characteristics

PanelView (PV) Slave Mode 5-3

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 stored 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 Protocol

Message text and control codes are sent serially to the DL40 Plus

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.

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.

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)

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

(0D hex)

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 (first line is removed).

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

Chapter Objectives

Using the Diagnostic Mode

Chapter

Diagnostic Mode

This chapter describes the operation of the DL40 Plus 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 DL40 Plus Slave for diagnostic mode using the DIP switch settings described in Chapter 2.

Serial Port Settings

In diagnostic mode, the first line of the display indicates the mode and serial port configuration:

Baud Rate

19200

9600

1200

300

DIAG: 19200 N-8-1

Parity / Data Bits / Stop Bits

N - 8 - 1

E - 7 - 1

O - 7 - 1

Data Received Display

Every byte received on either the RS-232 or RS-485 port is displayed in a hexadecimal format on line 2 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

DIAG: 19200 N-8-1

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 7 bytes of a long message are viewable.

Publication 2706-6.3

7-2 Diagnostic Mode

Data Errors

If the DL40 Plus Slave and host are not set to the same serial port settings, a reception error occurs. The error symbol is a ! displayed as the last character on line 1. This symbol is displayed for 1/5 sec (200 msec) after each serial error.

Serial Port Error

DIAG: 19200 N-8-1 !

05 01 0D

Note: Data cannot be displayed when a serial port error occurs.
