Hi everyone,
Here's what I'm using:
ControlLogix5000
PanelBuilder32
PanelView rev. 4.2
DeviceNet
I am sending text, FLOAT, and DINT from the PLC to the Panel View to display messages and other data from the machine. All this information adds up to more than 64 words needed to be displayed at the same time. In the communication settings of PanelBuilder I can set it to a max of 64 words. I wanted to know if this was a limitation of
- PanelBuilder32
- PanelView
- DeviceNet
According to their tech support it's a max of 64 words and nothing can be done. This is not very much if your application is medium to large size.
Also, I'm familiar with multiplexing data (reusing the same memory blocks for different screens) but it still doesn't solve my problem.
If anyone knows anything about this, it would be appreciated!
Thanks alot!
