About PWS1711/1760
Parameter Description
Parity Select the parity of the communications between the Workstation
and the PLC. Your choices are None, Odd, or Even. The default
setting is None. If you set "Parity" to None, then you cannot set
"Data size" and "Stop bits" to 7 and 1; you must set these
parameters either to 8 and 1 or to 7 and 2.
Data Select 7 or 8 to specify the number of data bit for
communications between the Workstation and the PLC. The
default setting is 8. If you set "Data size" to 8, then you must set
"Stop bits" to 1.
Stop bits Select 1 or 2 to specify the number of stop bits for the
communications between the Workstation and the PLC. The
default setting is 1.
CTS handshaking Select Enabled or Disabled to specify if the Workstation should
wait to transmit until the CTS input on the communication port is
asserted. This is sometimes called "hardware handshaking." The
default setting is Disabled.
Command delay Enter a number between 0 and 255 to specify the amount of time
that the Workstation waits between sending commands to your
PLC. The unit of time is 10 milliseconds and the default is 0. In
virtually all cases, you should leave the "Command delay" at 0.
However, many PLCs consume additional scan time to service
requests from the Workstation, and if you find that your PLC's
scan time is too long, you can increase the "Command delay" to
slow down the Workstation.
Battery check Select Enabled if you want the Workstation to check the battery
during self-test. The default setting is Disabled.
Screen saver time Enter a number between 0 and 60 to specify the time that the
Workstation turns off the back light of the display if the touch
panel has not been touched for that amount time. The unit of
time is minute. This is for lengthening the life of the CCFT back
light. If you set "Screen saver time" to 0, the Workstation never
turns off the back light.
PLC model code Select a number to specify the sub-type of your PLC. This
parameter is only useful for some types of PLCs.
Workstation node
address
Select a number to specify the address of your Workstation. This
parameter is only useful for some types of PLCs.
Download/Upload/
Copy port
Select either COM1 or COM2 to specify the port that you use to
download, upload, and copy application and recipes. The default
setting is COM1.
