Description
The DL40 Plus Slave displays are available in two-line and four-line
versions. These displays are designed for panel mounting in industrial
environments and require a 110-240V AC power source.
DL40 Plus 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 DL40 Plus Slave displays appear similar to the standard DL40
Plus two and four-line displays except they do not have front panel
buttons, indicator LEDs, keyboard port, or an RIO / parallel port.
