• Communicate with two systems - and exchange data

between them

• Two different drivers in the operator panel

– Allows communication with two different makes of controller
systems simultaneously

• Exchange data through the operator panel

– The operator panel can act as a gateway, to let the controller
systems exchange data through the panel without interruption of
the operator panel’s normal operation
 CONTROLLER: INTERNAL VARIABLES.

 CONTROLLER: ACCESS TO THE CONTROLLER.

• Access the controller from a PC with Transparent and Pass through modes

– Communication through the operator panel between a PC and the connected

controller system, for example to program the controller system

– This is a great advantage at commissioning as it makes it possible to access both

the operator panel and the controller system with one connection only
 CONTROLLER: NO PROTOCOL MODE.

• Access the controller with another serial device

• Connection through the operator panel for entering data directly into
the controller, e.g. a barcode reader
– This saves the expense of an ASCII card for communication with the bar code
reader!
 NETWORK FUNCTIONALITY.

exchange data between
different controller systems
located in the network

This opens up new possibilities, for example can the production manager
receive a production report every day and the maintenance engineer can view
the alarms on his PC

– Operator on site can send unique messages from the panel via a predefined
system block
 REMOTE ACCESS AND CONTROL.

• Access, view and control the operator terminal from a PC

– Enables remote control, remote customer support and

troubleshooting
