Settings on the Panel

A Panel with a C400 Panel Controller can read from and write to a PLC, either through a Genius interface or an RS-232 interface. In order to make this possible, the following must take place:

1. A project compiled with PCS is downloaded to the Panel (see “Downloading the Project to a Panel” in chapter 3).

2. The Panel is operated in Run-Mode (see “Starting a Project” in chapter 3).

Panel Interface

The Genius interface connector is always used for the Genius connection to the Series 90, Series Six, and/or Series Five PLC. The IF0 connector normally used by PCS to download projects to a Panel and optionally as an alarm printer interface, can also be used as an SNP connection to a Series 90 PLC.

Configuration of the PLC Interface

Caution

If a CMM interface is used for communication with a PANELWARE Panel, it must be operated with the SNP90 protocol.

A PANELWARE Panel can be connected to the following interfaces of GE Fanuc Series 90-30 and 90-70 PLCs using Series 90 Protocol (table 4-2) or Genius Protocol (table 4-3).
