Panelview to PLC-5

Sorry, there is a change to the above statement, it is a panelmate not a panelview. Thank you.

I've used Panelview but never used Panelmate so I can't help you with that particular bit. I'm going to make a guess and take a shot at it.

Basically, to get your PLC and display talking to each other, you need to get them talking at the same rate. You'll need to set the baud rate or speed to be the same for each of them.

Next, you need to define what you're using to communicate. Is it DH+? Remote I/O?, Ethernet, etc.

Then you need to tell the Panelmate the address of the PLC that it needs to get data from.

Hardware-wise, if it's just the PLC and the Panelmate (assuming it's Remote I/O), you'll need terminating resistors at both ends. I think the PLC has one built-in but you'll have to set a DIP switch to put it in. If you have several devices connected together, you'll need to put the resistor at the two ends of the line. I can't remember the exact value of the resistor though. It should be in the manual.

What you can use for resistor for 57.6k baud rate is 150 Ohm and 243k baud is 82 ohm. Termination is required for both ends of the Dh+ and Remote I/O.

There is correction to the Baud rate of 243, should have been 234k Baud and 82 Ohm resistor for termination at both ends. sorry for the confusion.

Thank you very much, hopefully we will be able to get it setup. I'll try changing the baud rates to get them to match. Thanks.
