Dataliner DL40 Plus
The Dataliner DL40 Plus is engineered to provide OEMs and
end-users a clear migration path from the older DL10, DL20,
and DL40 displays. It carries a host of hardware and feature
enhancements designed to speed plant-floor system
integration at a more competitive price.
Available in two- or four-line versions, these displays use
vacuum fluorescent (VFD) technology with adjustable
brightness from 0 to 100%. Supporting multiple character
sets, DL40 Plus messages can be seen by operators up to
25 feet away.
Multiple run modes help the DL40 Plus meet various
application requirements. You can embed process variables
in a message, designate DL50 slaves at runtime, trigger
messages with single bits (Remote I/O versions only) and
repeatedly display multiple messages.
All master displays have 128K memory to store up to 4,000
preprogrammed messages and 16K of data logging memory.
They communicate via Remote I/O, parallel port, or serial
connection. They also support concurrent RS-232 and RS-485
communications for point-to-point and network configurations
to DL40 Plus slave, DL5 slave, and DL50 displays.
The DL40 Plus is compatible with DL40 applications for easy
migration. And for DL20 migration, the offline programming
software will import the text from a DL20 file to minimize
application work.
The slave-only units extend messaging capabilities on the
plant floor. For instance use them to display targeted
messages from a master serial device, or connect them to
a PanelView terminal for enhanced alarm messaging. They
require no programming, just a few simple setup steps.
