The MicroView interfaces with the MicroLogix controller. The
MicroView allows operators to monitor and manipulate process data
on the plant floor.
• RS-232 Port. The MicroView has an RS-232 communications
port. The RS-232 port allows point-to-point connections with a
MicroLogix controller. The RS-232 port also allows the
MicroView to be connected to an IBM

compatible personal
computer.
• Memory Capability. Storage of the operating system,
configuration information, and user-programmed screens are
maintained in nonvolatile memory providing storage for
approximately 50 screens.

quickly modify blocks of data. Download data to a maximum of
10 non-sequential register addresses per screen. Link multiple
recipe screens to download data to more than 10 addresses.
• Flexible Function Key Operations. Two function keys
provide a convenient way to trigger screen displays and change
display screens.
