Communicate with PanelView Terminals Chapter 9
The larger number of implicit buffers enables significantly more PanelView
terminals to simultaneously request data from the controller via implicit
communication.
When communicating explicitly, the cont
roller supports 40 outgoing and 3
incoming buffers. This number of incoming buffers limits how many terminals
can simultaneously request data from a controller via explicit communication.
In other words, while a system can have multiple terminals, only three
terminals can explicitly request data from a Logix controller at the same time.
