Intended Audience No specialized knowledge is required to configure and install the
DL40 slave display. However, we assume the following:
• The person responsible for equipment connections is familiar
with standard wiring practices and electrical codes in your area.
• Communication cabling is done by a person having an
understanding of basic communications terminology and cabling.
• Panel cutouts are made using the same methods and safety
practices followed for other panel mounted equipment.
Conventions Used The following conventions are used in this manual.
• The up caret, ^, may be used in place of [Ctrl] (Control key)
where space is limited.

Introduction to the DL40 Plus Slave
Chapter Objectives This chapter describes the DL40 Plus Slave display and summarizes
its capabilities. The following topics are included in this chapter:
• DL40 Plus Slave description
• Operating modes
• Features
• Typical configurations
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.
