terminal. The screen that appears depends on the communication
protocol of the terminal.
DH-485 Communications
The DH-485 screen lets you modify or display DH-485 settings for
either a DH-485 or RS-232 PanelView terminal. Default settings are:
• Max Node Address = 31
• Node Address = 2
• Baud Rate = 19200
Max Node
Opens the numeric entry scratchpad. Enter the highest node number
on the network (up to 31) and press the Enter
↵ key. (On touch
screen terminals, press the
↵ key on the scratchpad). A change to the
maximum node address takes effect immediately.
Node
Opens the numeric entry scratchpad. Enter the node address of the
terminal (0 - 31) and press the Enter
↵ key. (On touch screen
terminals, press the
↵ key on the scratchpad). If you enter a value
greater than the maximum node address, the value is accepted and
the maximum node address is updated. A node address change takes
effect immediately.
Baud
Steps through the baud rates with each key press: 1200, 2400, 9600,
19200. The selected baud rate takes effect immediately.
IMPORTANT
Settings downloaded with a DH-485 application take
priority over terminal settings and take effect
immediately after the download.
