Chapter 1 Introduction to the DL5 Slave Chapter Objectives Description This chapter describes the DL5 Slave display and summarizes its capabilities. The following topics are included in this chapter: • DL5 Slave description • Operating modes • Features • Typical configurations The DL5 Slave displays are available in one-line and two-line versions. These displays are designed for panel mounting in industrial environments and require a 12-24V DC power source.
1-2 Introduction to the DL5 Slave Operating Modes The DL5 Slave has four operating modes: • DL Slave • PV Slave • Terminal • Diagnostic DL (Dataliner) Slave Mode Use this mode when connecting one or more DL5 slaves to a DL40 Plus master display, PLC or SLC controller. A DL5 Slave may be connected to a DL40 Plus using an RS-232 link (single drop only). Multiple DL5 slave displays may be connected to an RS-485 link using an RS-485 to RS-232 converter such as the Black Box LD-485A-MP.

2-8 Installation and Startup Power Connections Before making power connections, make sure that the power is turned off. The DL5 Slave requires 12-24Volts DC, 250-125 mA (300mA inrush). TB2 1 Common ! Operate / Configure Switch 2 12-24V DC ATTENTION: Improper wiring of the power connections may result in damage to the DL5 Slave. The DL5 Slave does not contain any fuses. We recommend that you use external fusing to prevent damage to the DL5 slave or power supply.
Installation and Startup Startup Sequence 2-9 When power is applied to the DL5 Slave a powerup sequence of displays are shown. The first display on powerup is the sign-on banner identifying the hardware and firmware: DL5 SLAVE 2L V1.00 04/02/99 Following the sign-on banner, all of the display pixels are turned on for 2 seconds followed by a series of informational messages indicating the current DIP switch settings. Each display lasts for about four seconds.

Chapter 3 Configuring the DL5 Slave Chapter Objectives This chapter describes how to configure the DL5 display using an ASCII programming terminal or personal computer running a terminal emulation program such as HyperTerminal (Windows 95 or 98). Configuring a DL5 Slave You can configure a DL5 Slave with: • an ASCII (dumb) terminal connected to the DL5 Slave RS-232 port • a personal computer connected to the DL5 Slave RS-232 port and running a terminal emulation program.
3-2 Configuring the DL5 Slave Using Terminal Emulation If you don’t have an ASCII programming terminal, you can use your computer with a terminal emulation program such as HyperTerminal. The following example shows HyperTerminal, other terminal programs will be similar. 5. Locate the HyperTerminal or other program on your computer. Often the terminal emulation programs can be found on the Start>Accessories menu. 6. Setup the terminal emulation program.
Configuring the DL5 Slave Configuring a DL5 Slave Message Display 3-3 1. Connect the DL5 Slave to a communication port on your computer or programming terminal. Use cable (Catalog No. 2706-NC13) for standard 9-pin connections or cable (catalog No. 2706-NC12) for 25-pin connections. Page 3-1 lists the available programming cables for other configurations. 2.

Chapter 4 Dataliner (DL) Slave Mode Chapter Objectives Slave Mode Operation This chapter describes the operation of the DL5 Slave in DL Slave Mode and contains the following topics: • Slave mode description • Slave mode protocol • Example messages • Display options • Clearing one or more lines DL Slave Mode is selected through the configuration menu as described in Chapter 3.
4-2 Dataliner (DL) Slave Mode Address The address of the slave display that will receive the message. This is a single byte character from 1 to 127 decimal (01 through 7F hex). Note: Do not use 13 (0Dhex) or 18 (12hex) as an address. These are reserved and the DL5 automatically converts these addresses to 127 (7F hex). Address 127 is a global address that accepts all messages regardless of the address. In addition, any message sent with an address of 127 is sent to all slave displays.
Dataliner (DL) Slave Mode Display Options 4-3 Use the following control codes in the message text for flash and reset functions. Any other control codes are ignored. [Ctrl][F] Control-F (06 hex) is the flash code. Send this code when you want all the characters on the line to flash. The [Ctrl][F] code can appear anywhere in the text portion of the message. You can turn flash on and off multiple times in a message. At the start of each new line of message text, the flash option is turned off.
4-4 Dataliner (DL) Slave Mode Publication 2706-6.
Chapter 5 PanelView (PV) Slave Mode Chapter Objectives This chapter describes the operation of the DL5 Slave in the PV Mode. The following topics are described: • PV Slave Mode description • PV Mode protocol • Display options PV Slave Mode Use the PanelView (PV) Slave Mode to send the DL5 Slave messages from a PanelView operator terminal. The DL5 Slave acts like a printer attached to the PanelView communication port. Any messages printed by the PanelView are displayed on the DL5 Slave.
5-2 PanelView (PV) Slave Mode Display Options Use the following control codes to control the appearance of messages displayed in PV Mode. [Ctrl][F] (06 hex) Flash command. Send the [Ctrl][F] command when you want the display characters to flash. Following the first flash code, all the characters on the display will flash. If a second [Ctrl][F] is received, the display stops flashing. At the start of each new line of message text, the flash option is turned off. [Ctrl][J] (0A hex) Line Feed command.
PanelView (PV) Slave Mode Line Display Characteristics 5-3 The PanelView Slave mode has two special display characteristics that make messages easier to read: Line to Line Delay After each individual line is displayed, there is a one second pause before the next line is displayed. This delay provides time for each line to be read. Cursor Movement Command Delay Line wrap, carriage return, line feed and form feed operations are not executed immediately.
5-4 PanelView (PV) Slave Mode Publication 2706-6.
Chapter 6 Terminal Mode Chapter Objectives Terminal Mode Operation This chapter describes the operation of the DL5 Slave in Terminal Mode and contains the following topics: • Terminal mode operation • Protocol Terminal mode allows more control over messages than the basic Slave Mode setting.
6-2 Terminal Mode Terminal Mode Protocol Message text and control codes are sent serially to the DL5 Slave in terminal mode. The following control codes are used: Cursor Up (Ctrl-K ) (0B hex) Positions the cursor directly above the current cursor position. If the cursor is on the first line, the cursor is moved to the last line on the display. On one line displays, the cursor does not move. Cursor Down (Ctrl-V) (16 hex) Positions the cursor directly below the current cursor position.
Terminal Mode 6-3 Delete Line (Esc and then R) (1B, 52 hex) Clears the current line. The cursor remains at its current position. Insert Line (Esc and then E) (1B, 45 hex) Moves the current line and all lines below it down one line (text on bottom line is lost). Then clears the current line. The cursor remains at its current position. Set Cursor Position (Esc,=,,) (1B, 3D hex) Moves the cursor to the specified row and column. Refer to the following table.
6-4 Terminal Mode Publication 2706-6.
Chapter 7 Diagnostic Mode Chapter Objectives This chapter describes the operation of the DL5 Slave in the Diagnostic Mode. Use the diagnostic mode to verify communications with a host device. Diagnostic mode displays the exact data being sent by a host device. Use the diagnostic mode as a temporary installation and troubleshooting aid. Set the DL5 Slave for diagnostic mode as described in Chapter 3.
