IND780 User’s Guide

Clustering

Overview

Clustering is a means of networking up to 20 individual IND780 terminals together

in a peer-to-peer Ethernet network. This is accomplished by assigning each

IND780 terminal a unique IP address and a terminal number. Within a cluster,

terminals can share Shared Data, operator consoles, printers, and PLC interfaces.

The IND780 also extends its clustering services to host PCs or file servers on an

Ethernet LAN for data exchange.

An IND780 terminal can operate as a remote operator console to any clustered

IND780. A dedicated SELECT TERMINAL softkey

, assigned to the home

screen, can be pressed to open a list of names of clustered terminals. Once a

terminal is selected, pressing OK

allows the local terminal to access the

display, keypad and setup configuration of the remote terminal. The local

terminal’s display is replaced with that of the selected remote terminal. All front

panel keys now function as if they belonged to the remote terminal, and softkeys

assigned on the remote terminal appear on the home screen. The local terminal

will not lock out the controls for the remote terminal during this remote connection.

Remotely Viewing a Clustered Terminal

To select a clustered terminal to view from the home screen, press the SELECT

TERMINAL softkey

. A screen like the one in Figure 2-36 appears, with a drop

down list including all clustered terminals.
