1-2 Introduction to InView Connectivity

Controller Based Communications

InView controller based communication can be used to trigger

messages and update variables on an InView display. InView

communication allows for connection into new and existing control

environments.

Point-to-point RS-232 Serial Communications

Point-to-point serial communications allow the use of a controller to

trigger messages and update variables on an InView display. RS-232

serial communications support a single display connection with a

limited distance of 15.24 m (50 ft).

RS-232 Serial Communications

RS-232

InView Display

Multi-drop RS-485 Serial Communications

RS-485 Multi-drop networks allow for Serial communications from a

single controller to multiple InView displays. With the use of an AIC+

(RS-232 to RS-485 converter) or a 2706-P9 type InView display, you

can daisy chain multiple InView displays off channel zero of an

Allen-Bradley controller. Each InView display can have a unique

address, allowing for individual display control over the network with

a maximum distance of 1219 m (4000 ft).

Industrial Network Communications

InView communication modules allow InView displays to

communicate with controllers over the following networks.

• Data Highway Plus

• DH-485

• Remote I/O

• DeviceNet

• ControlNet

• Ethernet

The InView communication modules take controller based

communications one step farther. They allow InView message

displays to communicate on the core Allen Bradley networks. The

InView software includes a communication utility to set up the tags in

the communication module to correspond to a controller’s data tables.

The data tables within a controller are used to trigger messages and or

update variables.

PC Based Communications

Industrial Network Communications

Industrial Network

InView Communication Module

InView Display

InView PC based communications can be used to download message

files and trigger message/update variables on your InView display.

This can be done using the InView messaging software, the Instant

Messenger, or via the InView ActiveX control added to a VBA project

or container. The InView messaging software allows for the creation,

downloading and triggering of messages, where the Instant Messenger

software is more suited for triggering the message. The ActiveX

control allows custom applications to be created using a VBA

environment such as RSView32. This allows for the most flexibility

and functionality when creating an application to drive an InView.

Ethernet TCP/IP

InView Ethernet TCP/IP communication modules let you integrate

your displays into Information System and Supervisor Control PC

based systems. Ethernet TCP/IP communications let you make use of

Create a New InView Network Communication Application

The communication utility allows the InView message display to be

configured to communicate with an Allen-Bradley controller over an

industrial network. The communication utility creates a file of

extension .ivc, which you can save, reuse, or edit. This is separate

from InView message files, which is of extension .ivp.

All communication and tag parameters are configured from a common

dialog. Your configuration is saved to an .ivc file for later use or

editing.

To create a new InView network communication application:

InView Communication Module Connections 3-7

Make Remote I/O Connections

To connect an InView communication module to a remote I/O scanner, use cable Catalog No. 1770-CD (equivalent to Belden 9463). The maximum cable length (link distance) is determined by the communication rate.

• 2,800 m (10,000 ft) for 57.6 Kbps

• 1,400 m (5,000 ft) for 115.2 Kbps

• 700 m (2,500 ft) for 230.4 Kbps

See Programmable Controller Wiring and Grounding Guidelines, publication 1770-4.1. The user manual for the I/O scanner module also provides cabling information.
