Description
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.
DL5 Slave displays receive message text from a host device. The host
device may be a DL40 Plus master display, PanelView terminal,
programmable controller, or a personal computer. All messages are created
and stored in the host device.
The DL5 Slave displays appear similar to the standard DL5 one and
two-line displays except they do not have a parallel port.
