Serial DF1 communication setup for a PanelView Plus

Helpful hints for setting up a PanelView Plus to communicate Serial DF1:

• By default, the PanelView Plus is set to communicate using BCC error checking; however, SLC and MicroLogix processors are set to CRC error checking by default. Even with Use Auto-Configuration checked, they will NOT communicate until this setting matches. CRC is recommended.
• The first time an application is loaded and run on the PVP, it will take up to 5 minutes to establish communication. Be patient! If you are continuously getting tag errors, that is a good sign that the communications is not going to work; however, if you get very few errors that is a sign that communication will be established.
• The station address of the PVP in Communication Setup MUST be 0. The station address of the Processor inCommunication setup MUST be 1. No other addresses will work.
• The Station address of the serial port on the Processor does not matter.
• You cannot always change the address on the PVP. If the address in the Communication Setup is not right, fix it in Factory Talk/RSView Studio ME, create the runtime and download.
